The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse called about four metallic outdoorsy chairs that Omni bought that have just been waiting for pickup. I did the deed, they are in the ex-barroom… they are off-white, a bit rusty, and there is a decorative sash around the lot… creative reuse indeed. If these weren’t sudo chairs, would someone pass this along to the omni list. I’m not a member.

air compressor in sudo

by Jake

there is an air compressor in sudoroom, labeled DO NOT HACK if you labeled it, you should write your name and/or contact information on the note, otherwise it might get hacked anyway. can i get an AMEN about DNH stickers needing more information than simply DO NOT HACK? -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- yeah, that's the one I'm not sure why it would be labelled "do not hack", as Juan handed it off basically as an "up for grabs" but maybe he changed his mind or I misunderstood. On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 8:13 PM, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: it (the blue campbell-hausfeld air compressor in the corner) is clearly marked with a large DO NOT HACK note. however, there is no name on the note. is that the one you're talking about? -jake

Really worried, missing my ScanSnap ix500 (~$500).

by David Keenan

I am very very worried that my black Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 <https://www.google.com/search?q=fujitsu+scansnap+ix500&espv=2&biw=1367&bih=…> paper scanner appears to be gone. It was used to scan receipts, applications, legal forms, bills, insurances etc for Omni to aid in accounting and get our paperwork in order. It looks sort of like a small desktop printer (its made for scanning documents specifically). It doesn't look like a flatbed scanner.. It was apparently last seen in the cafe Friday or Saturday. Usually it was stored in the ticket booth room, but since that room is being drywalled and finished, it was no longer locked up in there. Did anyone see it or move it during the film shoot? Where is it? I am really sad and worried and upset about this and I hope someone can find it because I actually bought it to scan many legal documents and papers for my own life that I can no longer put off. I was going to go home and do it and try to take care of some stuff in my life and now I fee like I can't. Another scanner will not do. I really need this one. I have really do have thousands of papers to scan over a multiyear period. I am broke and am not going to buy another one. It cost me $500. I will continue worrying about this all the time until it is found, so please let me know if you do. Until then I will be extremely worried and upset. David

Open Access Week event

by april glaser

Hi there, I'm April, a soon to be Sudo-er (I work at EFF, fwiw). Is anyone at Sudo interested in doing an event for Open Access Week, Oct 20-26? Could we use some of the collective space to host an event that celebrates all that has been and can be accomplished when research and knowledge is accessible and not locked behind paywalls? Some ideas include a panel and screening of the Internet's Own Boy (w/ppl from film). Or a share night of various projects aimed and distributing and opening access to knowledge/fighting copyright maximalists / someone (maybe me) can offer a quick primer of current federal and CA open access laws? Please LMK if this is something Sudoroom ppl might dig or would like to host at the space. All my best, April PS: on topic https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/10/knowledge-should-not-be-trapped-behin…

OMG korg littlebits magnetic synth is open-source on github

by Jake

i was totally impressed the other night at danceJS when i saw the Korg Littlebits modular analog synth... it's these magnetic modules that make up an analog synth while you snap them together on the table. and i left danceJS thinking about how nice it would be if there were an open-hardware version of this stuff, something we could make at a circuit hacking tuesday with printed circuits and printed plastics. I thought that we could 3d print a plastic frame for the modules, with the elasticity of the plastic serving as the springs for the contacts. and the circuit could be this easily etched pyralux that i have a bunch of.. and it's flexible so it can serve as the contacts on the sides of the thing. and then just now i realized that the schematics for all the littlebits stuff is published on github! http://createdigitalmusic.com/2013/12/littlebits-open-source-synth-kit-gith… of course i won't do this project alone, but if you're interested in wroking on it let me know. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce?

by Jenny Ryan

Concur'd on all points, Matt. If people are concerned about their contributions being publicly viewable, they can post to 'confidential' or another private list - or simply have an in-person conversation. I'd like to know the particular use cases for which we would need closed, private mailing lists - because I strongly believe that open and transparent communication and documentation is essential to this project having an impact not just within our community, but for the wider world. If we intend to create something greater than ourselves, our methods of organizing, the problems we face and overcome, the things that bind or break us, our experiences of creating the space and communicating about it, all of this is vital and important knowledge we have a responsibility to share so that others may learn from, iterate off, adapt, fork, and possibly change their own corners of the world for the better, inspired by what we're doing here. Let's not keep our history to ourselves. Knowing that our communications are public and archivable also keeps us accountable to ourselves, each other, and the world. We should always _expect_ what we communicate online to become potentially public, and may as well just own it, be responsible for our words, and communicate with kindness and wisdom - because words are often the most powerful artifacts we leave behind for future generations to inherit. My favorite quote on communication, in particular the debate of dialogue vs. dissemination and the way in which communication flows from internal dialogue to outward dissemination: Justice that is not loving is not just; love that is not just is not loving. Just so, dissemination without dialogue can become stray scatter, and dialogue without dissemination can be interminable tyranny. The motto of communication theory ought to be: Dialogue with the self, dissemination with the other. This is another way of stating the ethical maxim: Treat yourself like an other and the other like a self. (John Durham Peters, Speaking Into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication, p. 57) Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Want an antique oscilloscope?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone want this ancient oscilloscope that John left behind? If not, I may advertise it on the dorkbot list and a few other places. We could ask John to come take it, but it would be a shame to junk it - there's people who are really into this kind of stuff. Does anyone ever go the Electronics Flea Market <http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/> at De Anza College? That would be the perfect audience for this kind of item. Next one is this Saturday.

What do folks think about this discussion on the *omni-discuss* email list? Curious about your thoughts. // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Oct 4, 2014 at 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce? To: yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Cc: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> David, I understand what you're sharing about the experiences you have had with people seeking voice and space in this project. However, I do not believe that flipping bits from public to private on our email list archives will change that. I think Jordan's implementation of a *helpdesk@* list (private archives to protect senders), and leveraging clear public-facing, private (or semi-private), and alternative communication channels (e.g. physical "anonymous comment box" by the front door) are all *excellent* ways to approach these situations. We should set up a *whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org <whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org> *or *leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org <leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org>* for instance! Historically, I have had more than a handful of conversations with folks (some active members, other allies elsewhere in the world) who have used and read the public archives of the sudo room email lists for their information and for all of our benefit. We depend on this form of participation to continue to exist. Further, we link to these discussions in our email threads, on the wiki, and elsewhere. We must be *clear* about what is *public* versus *private,* but we should challenge ourselves to make more communications available (indexed by google also means we can link to it on the public web... the structure of the web that was valuable *even before *search engines and the information search engines use to crawl content and formulate rankings, etc). We can also encourage search engines not to index this content to keep it unsearchable, but probably the folks who typically want to search it will be us and our community. To me, a good number of our problems right now correspond to *access*, *transparency*, and *engaging new participants*. In light of these issues, there is a clear direction for us to travel in which we should value *"open, public discourses over closed, proprietary processes"* as well as *"access and transparency over exclusivity"* in order to *"solve real problems over hypotheticals, while respecting visions of the future"* - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Values All three of us on this thread so far are sudo room members, what do you all think about these values I've shared? // Matt On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 2:11 PM, yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 12:51 PM, David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > I would like to help you welcome new members - if I can get those > notices, I > > will reply and copy you and Jenny. > > We already have a list called "helpdesk" which is for receiving > private emails about the omni, so if we all CC helpdesk then others > know what's being done and how it's being done.

Can you provide a little feedback on my hardware project on Kickstarter?

by Autonomous

I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that has a Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will fit into a Model B+ case. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429174725/orion-ogs-affordable-3-in-1… I am also launching a separate Kickstarter campaign with the same OS distro on a 16GB SD card for the Raspberry PI. It includes some unique software that I have developed for the RPi. I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have on this project. The marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and promotion shortly. Thanks!

Ouroboros Shadow Pictures will be performing at the omni on oct 10! I'm meeting with them tomorrow to pick up last 1/2 of rental fee + some posters. I hope ooc folks will come out for this show- it's sure to be amazing, and tickets will only be 5$ some needs for the show: 1. do we have a *mixer*? they have pa speakers and cables but no mixer. I'll definitely need one by the 10th at the latest! 2. do we have a mic stand? I think I got the two micstands covered, but jic... 3. how well does the ballroom black-out light from the outside? do i need to get some butcher paper or blankets to cover the shattuck ave windows? any other places with serious light leakage? Thanks and xo! Scott
