Boy, when it rains it pours: the landlord just grabbed m hard by the writs, then pushed me backwards, and then tried to close me into a shut-off area with himself behind the only nearly-unstickable and one of the only really robust door in the building, threatening me with the kind of contract he would be able to afford to take out on my life if I didn't....? do something unclear about etting out of here thisweek On Sun, Jun 8, 2014 at 6:04 PM, Peter Kwangjun Suk < peter.kwangjun.suk(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Long time ago.

Fwd: [omnilogistics] Omni Insurance: Please Read!

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are looking for a competent individual who can help the Omni Collective obtain insurance before our move-in on July 1! Can you help? - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [omnilogistics] Omni Insurance: Please Read! Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 12:44:13 -0700 From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net To: omnilogistics <omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net> Hello friends, I am hoping to find someone who would be willing to manage the process of liasing with the insurance agencies we are in conversation with regarding insurance for the Omni. This will require a bit of a commitment - possible around an hour a day. *It is incredibly important to note that, without insurance, we will not be able to take possession of the building.* We must sort out our insurance BEFORE we move in on July 1st. I am of the opinion that, while the insurance agencies will likely need to speak with someone from each collective at some point, one person should be the main point of contact and see the whole process through to completion. The insurance agencies move a bit slowly when left to their own devices so who ever takes this on should be willing to apply some pressure to make sure that things keep moving forward. David has already done a ton of the preliminary work. Here's what needs to happen first: * Each member group: Please provide a name / phone number / email address for whomever will be the point of contact within your organization for the insurance agency. Ideally, we need this information *today*. *PLEASE BE AWARE:* * Every corporation **WILL** need their own insurance * Every unincorporated association **MAY** need their own insurance. Please contact me if you have questions. If I do not hear from delegates today, I (or rather, the kind and generous soul who volunteers to spearhead this) will be calling you!!!

help with dragon naturally speaking

Hi Sudo folks I'm having trouble with dragon crashing/working super slow a lot. I definitely need to get it going smooth in the next couple weeks because I'll need it for an online class. Does anyone have knowledge with this program? I think I may have the wrong headset or version for my operating system, or there may be something else going on. Thanks in advance for your time!!

The Gig: Chattanooga's municipally-run Internet

by Vicky Knox

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/5/29/chattanooga-net-neutrality.… "The Gig, which serves over 60,000 customers, was built because EPB [(the local power company)] decided to upgrade its power grid. The company’s main mission was to wire their customers’ homes with fiber optic cables that could communicate meter readings and manage power at a lower cost than the outdated systems used elsewhere. The fiber optic network also allowed EPB to reroute power during storms, helping the company prevent or quickly fix outages without the help of large crews. "The fast Internet, along with TV and phone service, essentially piggybacked on EPB’s new electrical grid."

Meeting 6/4: Important discussion about Omni lease + favorite phase changes!

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey sudo! Tonight we went over the Omni lease that was sent out late last night. At tonight's meeting, a consensus proposal was passed to empower me to represent the spirit of sudo in signing this lease on sudo's behalf before our next meeting (probably Friday or Monday), or in selecting someone else to do it if necessary (I'm out of town starting Saturday). The final version of the lease we have now is the result of no less than a month's worth of daily negotiating between the owner and David Keenan - meetings typically ranging from 3-5 hours a day. David's been working his ass off on our behalf under the guidance of the Omni Collective's lawyer, Jesse Palmer, who has extensive experience with the kind of weird, co-opy property negotiations we're currently undergoing. We are in good hands, and very nearly (99%) there! I recommend that anyone interested in the details of our lease read it over tonight and attend tomorrow's Omni meeting (7pm at 2141 Broadway), during which Jesse, our lawyer, will again be present to answer any questions. Please see last night's email for the link, and email me privately if access is not rapidly granted. See the full meeting notes for details on the lease and questions answered by Jesse at tonight's meeting - or if you are merely interested in what everyone's favorite phase change is: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-06-04 Our move-in date upon signing is officially July 1st, though we can begin storing things there this month. \o/ hack the planet!

A friendly reminder re: use and abuse of the space

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey sudo! It's come to my attention that some folks are concerned about the abuse of the common space in particular by certain non-members. This is a friendly reminder that any sudo room member is empowered to ask a non-member to leave at any point, with no reason given, and which the non-member must do unless another member present is willing to vouch for that person [1]. I recommend gathering 2-3 other folks to approach the problematic individual, with one person speaking. Such requests hold water for 12 hours, and repeated incidents are perfectly reasonable to bring to a sudo room meeting for conflict resolution: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_3.2_Conflict_Reso… Also, a reminder that tenants of 2141 Broadway who are not Sudo Room, BAPS, Hair Candy, Sound Room, or Robert have no _right_ to access of the common space - as is legally defined in their leases and unless permission has been granted by sudo room. This was consensed upon at last week's meeting. [1] As it's written in our Articles (https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association): Section 5.1 Non-member access To empower members to deal with problematic non-members: Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets (and require the non-member in question to vacate the physical space) at any time, with no reason given, unless some other member currently present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member in question as a guest. Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the non-member in question to vacate the physical space), the member must ask both the non-member and the members present in the space if any member is vouching for the non-member as a guest. For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate the physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may return after 12 hours. Section 5.2 Domestic Use The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the abundance of resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of those resources is unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to fulfill the basic human need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a creative community and hacker space, must maintain a division between habitation and usage of the space. As such the following are resolved: sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic purposes. No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time. Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must leave immediately. Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its physical space. Also, a reminder that a core sudoroom value is: 7. Value safe space over ideology. Let's keep our space a safe space for people to be, work, make, hack, and meet!

Fwd: meeting space?

by Lee Worden

Hello Sudo Room - Are you and the BAPS friendly to sharing the large room for other, reasonably compatible meetings? My workplace has recently unionized and we're holding some worker assemblies without the union organizers present, to strategize. We're looking for a neutral space to meet, probably 2-4 pm June 16. Apologies if this isn't the right channel to ask. Thanks! LW

Omni Lease + Sudo Room Mtg tomorrow

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey sudo! Listen up! For those unawares, we intend to be moving to 4799 Shattuck Ave next month [1]. We will be sharing a building with a slew of amazing groups, including the Bay Area Public School and Counter Culture Labs. We've been closing the deal for over a month now and doing a ton of self-organizing. It's been amazing to see this come together, for all its alternately exciting and at times stressful moments! Much incredibly difficult and valuable work negotiating this lease has been done by in particular David K, and with huge props to Niki, and the rest of the folks organizing finances, bringin' it to meetings, diving into working groups, and otherwise putting in some heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears. We are almost there! This is (hopefully) the final draft of the lease we'll be signing next week. You will need to request access to the doc, which has been requested to be kept confidential by the landlord, and is in a read-only Google Doc with Comments enabled: http://bit.ly/S6J62n Via Niki: "There are two docs in this folder that may preemptively address some concerns [Q&A & TLDR]. These are works in progress and will be updated as questions are asked / answered. Please refer to them!! A lot of the language in this lease is extremely scary and often seemingly contradictory. Such language is, in fact, standard for a triple net lease. Please withhold final judgement until you've expressed your concerns. [...] Not having to have a guarantor is a HUGE win for us and one of the biggest concessions made by John in exchange for any concessions we have made." Bring questions and input to the weekly meeting tomorrow, where we'll be going over it accompanied by our lawyer." - --------------------------------- Here is the TL;DR rundown: Sudo: * Half the 'bocce ball court' room * $2K/month Basics: * 3 year term * $13,00/month + triple net (insurance [Building + Business], property tax, maintenance [except for roof {covered for 2 years} + furnaces {4 furnaces, covered for 6 months}] * Option to extend 2 times * Move-in is July 1st, 2014 Deposit: * $5,000 initial deposit paid * + $40,000 more deposit (first [$10,000], last [$13,000], deposit [$27,000]) * Why is deposit so high? ** Extra deposit in lieu of a guarantor * We are getting $1,000 back each month for 13 months Rent: * First month (July): $10K * Second month: Free * Third month: $10K * Fourth month: $10K (unless owners move out by the beginning of this month) * Starting November 1 (or possibly October 1), rent will be $12K/month (including the gradual return of deposit at 1K/month) * Starting December 1, 2015 (or possibly November 1), rent will increase to $13K/month Option to Buy: * Good until July of 2017 * No one else can buy it during this period. * Renting price averages out to .60/sqft * Buying price is about $90/sqft - at 1.95 million. Signatories: * Individual representatives will sign on behalf of their group. * Only groups who are currently operational and whose commitment represents a significant portion of the total rent will sign: Bay Area Public School, Sudo Room, Counter Culture Labs, Timeless Infinite Light, & Livespace * Groups (not individuals) will be held liable for their portion of the rent for the duration of the lease. * Any group that stops paying rent and does not find a sublessor could potentially be sued by the owner for rent for the remainder of the lease. Capital Expenditures (9.3): * If we're required to make a capital expenditure to improve the property, John will reimburse us 50% of that cost up to $25,000 (was initially 50K, but reduced in lieu of a guarantor) Insurance: * We are responsible for Commercial General Liability. * Building Insurance is in Landlord's name, but we are to pay it (this is standard for triple net leases) * We must maintain our insurance or landlord can charge us 10% or $100 more monthly rent (without notice). Abatement of Rent: * If we're given a written requirement for expenditures over $100K, we can safely terminate the lease without additional costs. - ------ Please reply to this thread and otherwise discuss. We will also be discussing this at length tomorrow and making a consensus decision. *Important:* The Omni's lawyer, Jesse, will be joining us at the sudo room weekly meeting tomorrow (which starts at 7pm) - please be excellent and respect his valuable time! You can participate remotely by joining our riseup pad: http://pad.riseup.net/p/sudomni [1] You can get involved and learn more about the building and the groups that are apart of it, plus the working groups that have been forming, ideas on decision-making and other systems, at the wiki: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org Love, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.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.

Techcrunch: This Algae Battery Could Power A Tesla With 200X The Charge

by Ryan Bethencourt

Hi All, We're super excited for the first bit of coverage on techcrunch of what we hope will be transformative tech for batteries. http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/30/this-algae-battery-could-power-a-tesla-wit… Adam's company, Algas Biotech is developing early stage technology to replace the use of rare metals in batteries (i.e. much more eco friendly and it would remove CO2 from the atmosphere as part of the production of Algae). The technology is still early (with all the expected caveats that early stage science has) but Adam's going to have more news to share in the near future!

Just wondering if another combination Sudo & CCL meeting was possible / useful? Since the lease will be posted up soon, I can ask Jesse to come and answer questions and give his opinion in person - an expense, but I think possibly worth it for a combo meeting? Seems like it might be a good idea - yea/nay? (cross-posted to omnilogistics) David

E-- Arrested with Felonies

by Gabrielle Silverman

E- was arrested yesterday (Thurs) while he was leaving the Albany Bulb. He's facing two felony charges that seem random and bizarre. No one is sure what the story is, he got snatched up while he was alone. E- is in custody at Santa Rita Jail and is being arraigned at 2 PM MON in Dept 112, 6th floor at Wiley W Manuel Courthouse at 6th/ Washington in Downtown Oakland. I have heard that he is currently facing charges of felony posession of tools to escape from jail and felony posession of weapons. This is the fifth arrest of Bulb activists in Albany in the last three or four days. We are trying to get E- a pro-bono lawyer through the National Lawyers Guild Demonstrations Committee and personal connections that people have. If you are/know a sympathetic criminal defense lawyer, please get in touch. We are also trying to get E- a jail visit sometime this weekend to check on him. Before his first courtdate, only a lawyer can visit. It can be any lawyer though, they don't have to take on his case. Packing the courtroom is good for E-'s morale and good for the judge to see also. Largely what they will determine at this first court appearance is community ties, which determines whether a person will be freed with or without having to post bail, or if that's even an option. Sometimes the cops are pissed and you get crazy trumped up felony charges that get thrown out or lowered down at arraignment. Let's hope this doesn't get too serious, but also it potentially is. Let's hopefully come together and have a big sudo showing for E- Mon at court! Feel free to contact me for updates... Gabby

Re: [sudo-discuss] Omni update & help wanted!

Sometime today, hopefully! As soon as we have it, we will share it. If it doesn't happen, that will be because somebody found problems so glaring that they were immediately sent back to our lawyer for further review. That's what happened the past few times in a row that we were supposed to have a final copy ready.

Omni update & help wanted!

by yar

The Omni lease still hasn't been signed. But it really is 95% likely to be signed in the next few days. We are expecting a final draft of the lease to be ready for review tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the constant uncertainty. Getting this lease has been a unique and complicated undertaking! Our target move-in date is almost certainly July 1, with the option to store some things earlier. Anybody interested should subscribe to these lists. They already have rich archives of messages: https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/omnilogistics https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/omni-announce And it would be very awesome if more people could volunteer to do delegate work. In particular, to help follow Omni meetings and emails and make sure that our Sudo community stays up-to-date on all the important things happening!

Donations to ShapingSF for Processed Worlds

by Vicky Knox

I have just about every copy of Processed World (beautiful SF-based anti-corporate work zine from 80s/90s/00s) in my personal library for your perusal (including early editions from the 1980s). They were handed to me by Chris Carlsson to share with Sudo Room. If you'd like to access them at any point, please let me know. They are also preserved digitally on the Internet Archive: <https://archive.org/details/processedworld01proc> If you'd like to give thanks to Chris for this donation, ShapingSF, his San Francisco history archive and events series, is doing a big donation drive. They really need it! Here's a link: < http://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=The_3%25_Solution> Hugs, V

Meeting Minutes 5/28

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all! Tonight's meeting was a fairly important one, so I will provide a brief summary below. You can read the full meeting minutes here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-05-28 TL;DR: * Jenny will be signing the Omni lease this week on behalf of sudo room (consensus) * No tenant of 2141 Broadway is allowed access to sudo room, bay area public school, nor the common space adjacent unless permission is granted by consensus in two consecutive sudo room meetings [with the exception of Hair Candy employees & customers, Robert, Staff of Sound Room & new tenants as of June 2014 until given notice by any sudo room member] (unanimous consensus) * Regardless of Timon's current membership status, we find him in "bad standing" with regard to sudo room's values, specifically with regard to "safe space". We ban Timon from the sudo room, for an indefinite period. (unanimous consensus) * WE HAVE SURPASSED $500/WK ON GITTIP!!! https://gittip.com/sudoroom * Please contact info(a)sudoroom.org if you're a member in good standing so we can sign you up for an account on our member registry at http://sudoroom.org/crm ! Thanks for reading! Next week I'll be requesting we vote in a new omni delegate for the month of June at least, as I'll be out of town. Please get in touch with me directly or reply to this thread if you're interested in taking on this awesome position of community responsibility!
