More secure wifi at omni

by Yardena Cohen

We've gotten many complaints recently about omni's wifi being totally open and not password protected. Many folks are afraid of their devices being attacked if they join our network. And tbh I don't blame them. I think we should offer a wpa-protected network for those who want one. But I don't have the capacity to work on that. Does it sound fun to anybody else? We used to have a private subnet which would have made this easier, but it got unceremoniously merged with the public one a few years ago. One useful side task would be to identify and label all the ethernet cables running out of our one remaining switch. Some of them could provide the backbone of a new network.

Rollerskate and skate event in February 2023

by Romy Ilano

I’ve been collaborating with some cool women on a two day rollerskate and skateboard ball event with classes at the Omni commons. It was going to be in November to help raise money for the Omni by the deadline but people had family commitments However I think this is genuinely true energy and creativity that will pull in a lot of other projects at the Omni such as the media lab (costumes for the ball,m) and interesting SudoRoom Workshop stuff like helping make skate obstacles or rigging the ones they will bring They also will be spending a day after teaching skate classss (they have taught all over the world) Is there a way to put this event into any loan proposals ? I think this would breathe fresh life into the Omni, get more of a physical event in the space . We were able to figure out where to skate and jot hurt the ballroom floor Sent from my iPhone

Printer

by Juliana A

Is there any printer at sudo room that is ready to use? (AKA, it works, has ink on it and whatever else needed to print something) I'd like to print some flyers for WNB coding night. Doesn’t need to be colored ink or anything fancy. I found this printer but it says no ink -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com she/her -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com she/her

[omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: EBDSA in den (fwd)

by Jake

Sudoroom, we need to form a position on this proposal! Omni wants to invite East Bay Democratic Socialists of America to rent the upstairs room that's getting built. I think this is a no-brainer and we should approve it! Please write back indicating your position on this! your delegate to the Omni Commons, -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 18:10:52 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: EBDSA in den We talked a lot last week about putting EBDSA in the upstairs den, but never formally proposed it, so here it is. I propose we put EBDSA in the new room we're building up there. After haggling with Max on the phone just now, it sounds like this is the most do-able agreement: * they'll pay $1250/month with first/last/deposit * they move in november 1 or whenever the wall is finished * they sign a year lease, with the understanding that if omni loses the building, it'll probably be unenforcable * we host their next two GM assemblies for free (Nov 13 & Feb 12) and then renegotiate in the spring whether to start charging for it again * they are not yet applying to be a member collective, but may want to in the future Thoughts? Can we decide next week? Next delegate meeting is Thu Oct 20th 7-9pm https://meet.google.com/diw-hszw-msr _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

who will host javascript thursdays?

by Jake

Have you always wanted to host a recurring event at sudoroom? Now's your chance! it seems that we still have "Javascript Thursdays" on the sudoroom calendar, as a recurring event every week: https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/sudo-room-events/ unfortunately, we haven't been actually hosting the event on thursdays so...people may have been coming and getting confused and giving up on us. this thursday I just HAPPENED to be at sudoroom on Thursday at that time (I was joining the delegates meeting from there) and someone walked in who saw JS Thursdays on the calendar! Isn't it lucky I was there? I can't commit to hosting a second weekly event though, also i'm only just learning Javascript and it wouldn't be right for me to host! So who wants to do it? It will be a lot of fun. And like our other events, it doesn't have to be strictly about any one thing - we just need something to call the event. -jake

sudoroom board member for the omni commons organization

by Jake

sudoroom needs to pick a member to be the board member of the omni commons, which is the organization that owns the building. because of the way the omni commons is structured, its board is made up of members of the member collectives. we need someone (not me) to volunteer to fill this role, and that person's full name will be recorded as a board member, and they will have to attend the board meeting which might be boring. It is a legal requirement that the omni commons board meets at least once per year. We need to send someone for this right away since it's time to schedule the meeting. please volunteer. -jake

Sudo Room trash/recycling/compost

by Dane

I just took out the trash/recycling/compost out of the Sudo Room. It smelled really bad and there were too many flies, either food waste or someone took a dump in the trash. I wiped down Sudo Room tables to make the room hopefully smell better. *Omni Commons trash/recycling/compost <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Trash>is taken out every Monday & Thursday evening/night and picked up early Tuesday & Friday mornings. * *If we can collectively follow this schedule, it will help out both Sudo Room & Omni Commons overall.* The annoying thing is that after taking out all the waste and trying to make things cleaner & smell better, a* non-Sudo Room member *brought in their own rotten trash & waste from *outside* Sudo Room into Sudo Room trash for us to deal with overall. Unfortunately, this is an ongoing issue though from this one person. https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Trash (useful info with some outdated stuff) Dane

Omni Collectives Engagement with Fundraising!

by Natasha Zahn

Hello Omni Collectives & Community! Our gofundme campaign has raised $25,888 from 290 donors. The fundraising working group is reaching out to each collective for a little support! We want to boost the campaign while boosting each collective within the Omni. We are asking each collective to offer a special incentive. Something that feeds the curious donor collective wisdom and appreciation. Ideas on collective incentive can be workshops, new or reoccurring. Example : Counter Culture Lab offers LAB 101 to donors who pledge $25 to our gofundme. Collective incentives can also be merch or vendor items. Or even discount codes. Example : Acta Non Verba offers 50% off fruit CSA beetbox to donors who pledge $19.99 to our gofundme. We want the items to be very unique to your collective. For folks who are curious about Omnis collective of collectives. This participation will support the fundraising working group and the collective as a whole! Let me know if this is something your collective can participate in. We hope everyone can get involved! We hope to receive collective incentives by 10/27/22. We can support outreach and boost your collective with graphic designs showcasing your collective offerings! Abundance & Resilience, Silver

Re: [omni-consensus] Repayment of $7500 loan from Safer DIY - due November 1st

by Jake

speaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etspeaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etc. It's just not our money. It belongs to Safer DIY and we've been holding onto it. It's not much different from if we were to go out and steal it out of their account because we happened to have access to it, in my opinion. So as an individual, i'm in favor of paying it immediately. I'll put this question on the Sudoroom meeting agenda so that I can get a proper representative position from Sudoroom. If the above argument is not enough to convince whoever is reading this, I'd like to point out that Omni wouldn't exist right now if it weren't for the significant contributions of Sarah and David, well above and beyond what this actual loan pays for. Considering we have a fire inspection coming up, we really would be better off if we had a better relationship with them and were able to ask for help with it. -jake On Tue, 4 Oct 2022, Yardena Cohen wrote: > Sarah, we really appreciate DIY's help and good faith here.
