=== SERVER ROOM UPDATES ===
2014/07/05:
Today Luis, Matt, and I did the walk in the building, and so far the
only place that seems the
most appropriate to have the server room is the room by the bar.
This area is the most ideal in the whole building because the air flow,
temperature, electricity proximity, and also because it is where the
Internet access enters the building.
Since this area is not is not part of the SudoRoom space, we will have
to talk about it with the rest of the Sudo-Mesh group and the group
approves it, then we would have to present the idea at our
Omni Collective meeting for approval.
If approved by the Omni Collective, we would need to build:
* A 2" or so high floor (two by fours and plywood would do, I believe.
* A 55" x 65" cage with chicken wire walls and a door.
If this place is NOT approved by the OOC then perhaps we should consider
building the Server Room in the SudoRoom Space. High temperature and
noise levels are the main issues.
If others have ideas/comments/or want to be part of this process please
jump in. You may contact Matt, Luis, or myself (Daniel).

Hi Bay Area wikifolk!
Please join us for a "Wikipedia Barn Raising" event focusing on Open
Educational Resources (OER). The Barn Raising will happen on Saturday July
19th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, at the Oakland Impact Hub, at
2323 Broadway (near the 19th St. BART station). Lunch and refreshments will
be provided.
Since 2012, we've been working to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of OER
and related topics. We've worked to build an international community around
this goal at conferences, through our online "Writing Wikipedia Articles"
(WIKISOO) course, and through the formation of WikiProject Open.
At the Barn Raising, we will focus on improving high-priority Wikipedia
articles, and consider ways to strengthen WikiProject Open as a resource
for staying connected, learning, and working together. We'll also welcome
online participants from around the world, with collaboration tools and
scheduled video check-ins.
Registration link:

I am naive and ignorant, but this solution seems too cool to not give
serious thought. :)

Don't forget FNB, who is going to be building that fridge. Probably

We are each others' neighbors, just as much as the landlords and the
people in the house next door.
We're not in competition. Each of us is providing a resource to the
others. For instance, I'd like to think of this less like "Sudo is
paying for this space so it's ours and you can't have it" and more
like "this space makes the most sense for our neighborhood's
hackerspace and so we're taking responsibility for building and
maintaining our neighborhood's hackerspace."
And the best way to know what we all need is to have open, functioning
channels of communication with each other. :)

Hi wikipeople,
I will probably hang out at the Omni in the morning and start at about
12:45 westward. I will pick up a friend in Alameda so everything on
roughly that way is fine a pickup location and I have 3 cozy seats on
first come first serve basis.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/O:40
Please extend a huge thankyou to Jake who started to work on the door in
the afternoon before he ever entered the new sudoroom hours later and
worked till midnight. And to Marc who enabled the Software side. And off
course all the other people who helped to make it possible that after
the second full Day in the Space we already have automated Access!
Please feel free to expand and correct the wiki page and to write an
email to the Omni list.

Agreed. I can't quite tell whether an exhaust system already exists,
but we need to figure one out ASAP. It gets very hot, and I fear
before long it will get smelly...

There are two shelves in the western corner, which are marked: "ALL
OTHER BOOKS but the books on these shelves are available". The
landlords are going to take those in a few days. All others are,
indeed, abandoned.
Tonight we designated the basement's "library/office" rooms as the
place where all books go, and moved all the books we could find there
(except those marked for BAPS).
> Where to put the pews and bookshelves currently residing in the cafe /

We tried setting up one of those bookshelves in the basement. They are
slightly too tall. Perhaps they might fit after we remove those
ceiling panels.
I still think the pews would be great up on the mezzanine.
hey sudo ers!
I m moving into a new house (yay!) and I'd need help transporting a bed
from fruitvale (the place I'm buying it from:4250 San Leandro St, Oakland,
CA 94601)
to my new house (adeline and 24th street.)
Would anyone with a car be willing to help me with that? I'd be super
thankful!
Tuesday or wednesday would be an ideal time, but you tell me! I know it's
not the most fun thing to do but ill bring chocolate and guarantee a good
conversation :)

Hey all,
Figured forwarding this note from the Omni landlord is better than trying
to repeat or summarize. This was sent to the Omni Logistics list. Stand
back and brace yourself!
[From John]:
Here is the status of our vacation (is that appropriate?).
- Sudo Room:
- Have cleaned out all of our stuff except as follows (excluding
stuff we already discussed, like wood and pallets):
- To-do:
- Clear out a stack of old Xerox cartridges. These are in boxes
with postage paid labels. It used to be that Xerox would
remit $5 (maybe
it was $3) upon receipt. I don't known if they still do. At
any rate,
they do recycle--just a matter of affixing the label and
mailing I think.
On desk against dressing room.
- Shelve several boxes of Sci American and Communications of the
ACM in the basement offices. On desks against dressing rooms.
- Dispose of a wooden shower chair, some various stacking or
folding chairs and possibly an old trunk--I don't recall. I
think these
will go if just left on the sidewalk, if that's not too
unattractive next
to your building.
- Get the Go books out (thanks for the sign). David Doshay has
promised to pick them up around 11-ish tomorrow (Friday) he
will ring the
bell and I will be awaiting him.
- Throw away some trash on the desk island, I don't recall what.
- There may be a ring of keys I want to look at to see if they
fit some of your doors (more later).
- Discard a gray shelf that seems to have been damaged by a heavy
box.
- I think Herb left some stuff in the left dressing room--you guys
may have already disposed of.
- We hope to retrieve
- A lawn mower, last seen in upper right corner
- Some personal papers (like old bank statements) in several
plastic or cardboard boxes under the tables in lower right
corner) I wish
to take to the shredder-place.
- As many as 5 banquet tables and hollow core doors, if there are
still plenty.
- Have left the following
- Some little things like light switch covers I put in the paint
shelf, just because I didn't want to throw them away. There are
also 5 big
wheels--these go to the rolling pallet under the stack of doors (I
think it needs 6). Just like the rolling pallet under the stack of large
white papers..
- A couple of boxes of cassette tapes (like songs) and a player, on a
desk.
- A fiche-reader, a couple of old computers on the top shelf, and a
scanner or two of unknown condition, maybe other stuff.
- Lots of dust on the floor--I think the best way is sweeping
compound I ran out of. Not from Home Depot; I'll tell you where if you
wish.
- Quite a few fire extinguishers. They are at least 10 years old,
but most of them read green.
- Two black grates and two blue. The blue are from upper
windows--for example, the one just above the awning. I took it off to
satisfy some city functionary who was worried about fire egress. One
black, I don't know. One other black is the middle hand railing leading
from the barroom to the auditorium. I took it off to get the baby grand
inside (now gone, but the pro movers wouldn't have needed to remove that
railing). The ramp would still fit. It was secured by lag
bolts or what,
that may have dropped inside.
- A loom in condition only Mary knows, under the landing.
- Two blue metal cabinets holding up a door tabletop. Inside are
toilet flappers and valves, a urinal valve (more later), a "Corduct" for
covering extension cords. and a stairs rope-light.
- File cabinets against outside wall and a desktop. This desktop
along with two more above safes, goes on top of some floating
desk drawers.
- Little green garbage bin. Supposedly to keep food scrap and put
them in big green can.. We never used it.
- Note that there are drains against the outside wall which drain to a
sump pump in dressing room. I do not know if these actually drain the
floor properly.
.
Cooler room:
- To-do:
- Get rid of boxes I was storing for a friend. These have been
repacked, and waiting for UPS. Supposedly they will come by to pick
up--but I have been too occupied to arrange.
- Dispose of some "hazardous" category items--fluorescent tubes and
paint/paint-like cans.
- Dispose of voluminous CA cash refund cans and bottles. I notified
someone who will notify the guy who usually picks them up.
Cannot say for
sure when. Just tell me and I will put them outside--I
guarantee they will
be instantly picked up.
- Cooler has been emptied.
- Finally cleared out the rug and under-layment scraps--bulky took, even
though the guidelines said I had to cut down to 4-foot lengths.
.
Utility room
- There are 3 breaker boxes, the main power supply and the telephone
switch board. There is a pipe across one threshold--I think this is just
an electrical ground.
- There are 3 gray recycling cans, one green waste can, and one brown
garbage can. I guess you already know about these. Leaving 3 full gray
cans out has never been a problem. Leaving extra green waste in garbage
can works too--for example if you trim the evergreen trees. Garbage nights
are Tuesdays.
- Except for the main panel cover, this room has been finished -- even
pressure washed, but the white paint is very stained. Please borrow my
pressure washer if you want to,.
- The main panel. Sorry this has not yet been fixed, There is ongoing
effort,
- The drain for the sink. I believe blocked by plaster. The pipe goes
left under the concrete. The best effort so far has been with a
rubber-ball like device that goes onto the faucet to apply pressure. The
last time it was done the drain worked but slowly. But easily
clogged--drain cleaner may help some.
- The fan plugs in and the plug may reach the socket near the main box,
but that's a stretch. There was a socket under the fan but that was
cannibalized by an electrician (not Mike) who installed some sockets in out
room directly above. I'll ask Mike if it is legal for him to restore the
socket.
- There is a timer for an outside light next to the sink (more later).
.
Basement
- To-do:
- Dispose of the stack of cardboard boxes next to kitchen. I believe I
can tie these up an leave them for weekly recycling.
- Dispose of any monitors in the kitchen shelves.
- Dispose of some items -- step-stool, mop, what? beyond the law
books just past the closet door. Oh, the closet light doesn't work--may
need a bulb.
- Retrieve the dark brown bookcase in the corner past the first bend.
- My cousin is storing some items he wishes to move out, in the two
shelves in that upper left corner of the basement against the outside wall.
- Both pantry lights are out. The pantry on the left as you enter the
kitchen seems to have a good bulb. It may be the breaker box in the other
pantry--I may have already tried though. The light in the other pantry
(next to the furnace room) may just lack a bulb because that is hard to get
to.
- The left pantry is also open to he furnace room--I believe the panels
are there, ready to be screwed back in.
- Going up the back stairs to auditorium there are some built-in
cabinets with coke glasses and what looks like lots of table legs.
- The wall switch for the right hand lights (what's left of them) is
high on the right after you come down the stairs.
- The wall switch for the basement ventilation is also there--but this
is disconnected (more later).
- There is what I think was a telephone patch panel in the upper left
corner as you come down the stairs--I'm just guessing.
- The sink next to the stairway seem to be noisy lately. I will be
happy to have mike look at the faucet. Also the drinking fountain does not
drain. I never tried to fix it.
- Locks: We may have keys to some doors--in particular, the double room
with the Christmas decor. When we moved in we had a locksmith go around
and change locks to a few doors--all for the same key. We should have the
keys to the office doors.
.
Barroom:
- To-do
- Take Joe Brignole's ballroom ball, packed in a cardboard box, in the
little cubby against the 48th St.wall.
- Take those two little roll-around chairs that were near our far
stairs. These will be very useful to us.
- Dispose of the wallboard behind the sandwich counter, unless you
guys want it, and clean up there.. Note that there are many places that
need wall board repair for example the stage and next to two of
the circuit
breaker boxes.
- Take the long extension-ladder which used to be on the bar
counter--I heard you guys moving it to some better place last
night. Note
there is a shorter one that once was on the floor behind the bar, we're
leaving.
- The shopping carts we would eventually like to possess--so very
handy when bringing home groceries. We'd like to leave them downstairs,
for anyone's use if we can get to them doing our short stay here.
- Mike will put a mail slot in our first door, with your permission.
- Restrooms: As you may know only the middle urinal in the men's room
flushes. The first one is uninviting--the third one has a paper bag in the
way. Someone removed that bag and may have used it. FYI, I put the bucket
back under the sink which I use to flush whenever I made such a mistake.
Someone asked me if I had any urinals--jokingly I presume, but as you may
know there are three more in the adjacent women's room hidden by a
curtain. Also, I left a toilet paper holder in the toilet room area, not
installed.
- Many thanks to Nicky for cleaning up behind the big bar and gathering
the items we didn't want but would have had to dispose of.
.
Auditorium:
- To-do:
- Get Mike to fix the wetbar lights. He says he might have flipped a
circuit breaker when he put either of the face plates on--the one on the
balcony or the one in the adjacent room with Christmas lights. We tried
the balcony, so it might be the other one.
- Dispose of the big Window. Someone claimed it but changed their
mind. If you guys have no use for it, we will dispose,
- Clean up the little janitorial room in the far corner of the main
floor, next to the stage. There may be a rat skeleton (sorry).
- Patch sink. There is a teeny hole in the last sink. I have a
bucket under it. I propose to put a little Liquid Nails or similar in it.
- Retrieve the Linksys router--whenever you are finished with it.
- Let me know if you need the Comcast coax to be rerouted to come in
upstairs--I'll call them. At the very minimum I will use cable
ties so the
cable stays cornered.
- Retrieve the 6 wheels under the three tables. When you get them
moved to where you want them we will be happy to have them back. As well
as the two white food carts at some point.
- There are two sets of lighting in the front. One is operational,
controlled by the inner switch as you go into the double door cubby hole
(counter-intuitive). The second has been sealed off and terminates in two
electrical boxes on either side of the outside door. I think these were
used to power the fluorescent lights of a big Omni awning that was there.
This is controlled by one of the circuit breakers in the little room to the
left of the stage. This also powers an electrical box on the bottom of the
balcony just above the cloak cabinet or going into the chair room.
Incidentally, I saved the part of the awning with the OMNI logo. I hope I
didn't discard it. If I didn't it would be in the sudo room somewhere.
- The lights under the balcony against the parking lot wall are
controlled by a switch just inside the janitorial door to the far right.
As is, the switch is on--and all bulbs are loosened, so I could readily
turn the one I wanted on.
- Oops! I left an old towel in the men's room--I was sure I would be
able to clean the room before I left. We do not claim. You might find
some toilet paper behind the toilet in the far stall. That was a test
piece--let me know if it shows any signs of water--I'll alert Mike.
- The light switch in the closet under the stairway--I know has a bad
cover. Sorry I didn't get to it, but I think there are covers on the sudo
paint cabinet. Any problems, let me know.
- We occasionally smell sewer in the auditorium. This is usually cured
by pouring water down the drain behind the wetbar--far corner. I expect
this is because of a small trap that evaporates more quickly than most
- The balcony lights--you found the breaker, great. I do not know where
the wall switch is if indeed there is one. There are unknown-use switches
going up the far stairs to the balcony.
- There is a 16-ft stepladder hidden behind the stage curtain. You'll
need this to change bulbs in the chandeliers--and there is a small supply
of bulbs in the sudo paint cabinet.
- The big grate is from a dismantled stage extension.
- Under the stage: Some carpet-protectors and some metal-halide lamps--a
big lamp and a transformer. I heard that the light is real white. 1000
watts I think--don't get fingerprints on the glass they say.
- I left lots of knick knacks on the lawyer-office bookcase on the
stage, and some video tapes. If you don't want them I will be happy to
dispose of them.
- As I mentioned, the filling seen in the front windows we tested--no
asbestos. I removed the stuff around the semicircular window and found
part of the bag that contained it--some kind of gypsum. I left this bag in
the chair room on the first shelf against the outer wall, far to the left.
If and when you remove that board, people will take the stuff. I filled
about 20 garbage bags from the semicircular window and put it on craigslist
free. I got a quick response and someone came by and was so happy to get
it.
- Women's room: Has one Todo low-flush toilet. It was running over
lately. Mike fixed it--but let me know if there are problems. Once we had
a toilet supply line break and it flooded the chair room--not the major
damage to the wall with lathe--that happened before I arrived. The floor
has a drain, but it appears the edges weren't sealed. Marvin and I went
around the floor and applied sealant--but this was an amateur job. I did
not test it.
- The stairway to the women's room has no lighting--except for the night
light lamp we left which is not a nice solution. I once installed a
"rope-light" on the stairway but it soon just burned out. There is another
one in the sudo room right hand blue metal cabinet--same brand though.
- Both exhaust fans have new motors (10 years ago) but the one nearest
the stage -is-noisy. Mike oiled the fan blade bearings but still noisy.
.
Ground floor kitchen
- I think we are OK here. Note that the freezer has a flash-defrost
pull-knob in the lid. When you close the door it gets pushed in.
.
Outside:
- To-do:
- I will repair the cuts in the awning (vandalism).
- I plan to paint over the graffiti with white. The grey paint
unfortunately I recycled so I don't have the shade. I bought
from Frazee up
the street, but I called their new San Leandro place and they
couldn't find
my account. I will take a sample and try to get it matched with
Kelly-Moore
down Telegraph.
- Yow! The bulky pickup guy came back. He passed it up yesterday
because scavengers had made a big mess--it looks like they just turned
boxes upside down looking for gold. Herb and I repackaged it
and they only
did a little damage last night. I will get the sidewalk swept.
- There is a timer in the utility room next to the sink for the 48th
St. light. Not good coverage because of the trees. It may be currently
set to go on from say 9-11, I don't remember.
- There is an electrical box above the corner door accessible from our
window and a timer in our cabinet. I suppose it was for a big Omni sign.The
BID does a good job of keeping the front sidewalk cleaned.
- We're the 2nd & 4th weeks for sweeping: Monday across 48th and on this
side of Shattuck. Tuesday, the other side.
.
Maintenance:
- Soon I will have the heating people to inspect the heating system--the
one in the concrete room on a platform, and the four in the basement.
These are 2 for the auditorium, 1 for the basement, and 1 for the
basement. FYI:Air-conditioning can be added.
- I will also schedule a termite inspection at my expense.
Hello Sudoers(and David),
I just wanted to say again how awesome this and as consequence '''you'''
are. A few things came up in and after the meeting which I wanted to
comment on.
a) Be it legally as it may I strongly believe that every Member of
an OMNI member collective is a member of Omni.
b) Some people rised concerns that we did not really get to address
the real concerns like Access and envisioning of The Space and Sudoroom
itself but based on my limited sample of Sudomeetings this was better
than par productivity wise. And this gives us time to prepare our
thoughts on this. I will have started this page
https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Reboot......................….
see d) for the Title @Matt is it possible to create a shortcut (maybe OO
;-))to link to pages in the OO wiki like it is possible in the Wikimedia
Universe? Also this gives the Omni time to catch up although this might
not happen because the meeting today turned into this crazy Potluck.
c) The Space feels cluttered and nobody now where the scissors
are: mho is that we should embrace a) and make us aware that everything
we give to the Omni Commons is still ours and we are the Collective with
the most manpower and DIY Attitude. How for instance about creating a
temporary Office/Frontdesk behind the bar directly opposite to the front
door with a working Network Printer, Scissors!, scotchtape Ductape and
sharpies. I will hack on this tonight if I can find the equipment. What
is a affordable place for Office supplies and Who and how are
procurement requests handles anyway.
d) When is the reboot over? I say it was the Moment we started the
first Meeting in The Omni more also onwiki.
Finally I wanted to say, although I think it is awesome that you hit the
ground running, after the first kinks have been sorted out some of the
key figures should get some rest before they really join the Ghosts
Haunting this house.
See you tonight
you may have noticed a slightly rusty metal door laying around in the
stuff from the move, not attached to the building. It's a metal mesh
"security door" i donated for possible dooring of the upstairs apartment.
if it hasn't gone out the door to the street and been taken away, can
someone please put it somewhere inside? I am going to tune it up, weld
the loose parts, and propose installing it on the secondary outside door
of the omni so that we can get ventilation without having a door "open"
thank you
-jake
Hallo Andrew,
we would like that Projector very much. Thanks so much!
Until this arrives I deposited my Projector in the Locker which tells
halve the Answer. Matt can tell you where the dead drop for the key is.

Sudoers,
Our first weekly meeting in the new space is _tonight_, 7pm at 4799
Shattuck!
Come see the new space and let's begin to envision what it is to become.
This is an exciting time!
If you can't make it tonight, no worries! We are having a potluck with our
fellow collective member-groups as well as some of the neighbors starting
at 7pm _tomorrow_. Bring a dish or some beverages to share!
Cheers,
Jenny

Unless there is some objection or a better one can be obtained, I would
like to donate my projector to Sudo Room. It's old, and only does 800x600
resolution, but I used it for years with no real issues. I can bring it by
this week.
Again if you guys get something better then i'll keep mine or maybe
liberate it for the omni commons, but if not, it's yours.
Thanks,
Andrew

Subject: The Sudo Room
To: mattsenate(a)gmail.com
Hi Matt-
Here is an almost-final accounting for The Sudo Room....
We were charged $100 to repair the rear stairway door lock damaged during
your move-out. We are also waiting for the remaining missing Front Door
Key. We believe that the only tenant (of ours outside of Sudo Room) that
you might have given it to would have been Eddan or Jenny (I certainly hope
you never gave one to Timon, because he has had one of his own as a tenant).
There are also 2 unaccounted front door keys from the Bay Area Public
School. If we can't account for those remaining keys we are going to have
to rekey the master for certain (even if Timon returns the key to us, as he
is supposed to next Monday), and then share the cost with all involved.
That will not be a cheap item--total cost to rekey and print all of the
needed $15 keys would be approaching $2k! So please try to get that second
key back to us and it will absolve at least the Sudo Room of responsibility
in that matter.
You have a $3000 security deposit, so if the key is returned we will cut you
a check for $3000 - $1930.48 = $1069.52.
Thanks, and let us know what you find out.
Laurie
