[omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal

by Jake Watters

Hi Sudoroom, THIS IS IMPORTANT! The following proposal was brought to the delegate's meeting a couple of weeks ago, and tonight in the meeting it was discussed. Since I had not been attending delegates meetings for some time, I failed to forward this proposal to this list so that sudoroom could discuss our position on it. Since I am a Sudoroom member, I voiced my position through our delegate (which is me) that I am against giving a committee the power to levy fines against omni collectives/tenants/people, especially since we have not tried a process of simple communication between a cleaning collective and representatives of collectives. Ultimately the other Omni delegates felt strongly about passing the proposal, but they were willing to remove the provision giving the new Committee the ability to "impose a monetary penalty" on groups or individuals they determined were guilty of being messy. The proposal was partially passed as seen here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/09/15_Delegates#cleanliness yar: if we approve the proposal but delay the fine enforcement until after our october 6 meeting, and require another affirmative consensus decision on october 6 to give them that fine enforcement power? jake: is ok with that CONSENSUS: YES (CCL/Patrik ANV/Silver SUDOROOM/Jake FNB/Helen CLP/Billy MOP/Jacqi) ABSTAIN: (SUDOMESH/Camber) BLOCK: (none), PASSES! I personally think it's unreasonable to trust a newly formed Committee with the power to, for example, determine that Sudoroom is too messy and issue "fines" of $50 per day until they feel that we have satisfied their standard, and I'm glad that the other delegates were willing to remove this provision even though they were technically capable of overriding sudoroom's objections. This provision is set to be reintroduced at the Delegate's meeting on OCTOBER 6TH and Sudoroom needs to discuss our position, in order for our delegate to represent us at that meeting. Please see the link below for the proposed text of the new Committee (same link is in the meeting notes above) and discuss the provision that's slated for October 6th Delegate's meeting. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2022 06:08:55 +0000 From: deskhandle <deskhandle(a)protonmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/GcTDiTZqA3ao5+6hbaAuobdc/ At the delegate's meeting tonight, we discussed a proposal formulated by the Events team which is linked above. This is a draft proposal and instructions for how to suggest edits are on top of the doc. Please do not edit the content directly. In short, it exists to create a new committee which will oversee the cleanliness of the space, design and implement new systems to do so, including a monetary penalty for any space left out of order for both shared spaces and tenant spaces. If you're able to be an active and dedicated participant in that committee, please join us on Slack. This committee would also be able to spend some amount of Omni funds to clean the space regularly and keep it at a level of cleanliness that must be maintained for Omni to exist. Please check this out and get back with any thoughts, concerns, suggestions before it's voted on at the next delegate's meeting. Billy Community Liberation Programs

cleanup operations in progress

by Jake

last night (wednesday night) Kent and Eric and I worked for hours to clean up and organize the space, and we cleared up the whole floor area in the southeast corner near the telescreen. Kent fixed a nice power supply and cleaned up the whole workbench that has the microscopes on it, and we'll be adding more carwardine (anglepoise) lamps there. we organized the sterilite bins on the shelves and after another round of that, it will be time to decorate them with rainbow colors; I ordered $50 worth of 10 colors of 1" wide masking tape, and when we're done the wall will basically be a rainbow of bins. If anything is out of place it will be pretty obvious. we decided that the metal sliding chair assembly under the desk in the southwest corner is just huge and taking up space, and should be scrapped. If wants it please take it home, otherwise we'll get rid of it soon. the next area to be cleaned up will be the "balcony" at the top of the stairs, there's a lot of stuff there that needs to get put away and organized and ewasted and i'll work on that with others, and then we can add lighting and tables and outlets there and make it a nice place to hang out. When the cold weather season comes, it will be nice for people to have a place to hang out where the temperature is naturally higher. anyway things are happening and the space is getting nicer. Eventually we'll have everything off the floor and we'll be able to run a roomba full time keeping the dust off, and Yar can finally epoxy the whole floor. let me know if you want to help! Or just jump in and make things better. -jake

Re: [omni-consensus] [omni-events] Fw: Oakland Defense Shield Storage (fwd)

by Jake

At the next delegates' meeting we will discuss renting storage to a group for a bunch of riot shields. Hopefully this means we can get a bit more money coming in to Omni each month and put some space to use that's presently just full of clutter. If anyone has feelings about this proposal we should talk about it. I am the sudoroom delegate so sudoroom should tell me how it feels about this. And also about the Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 04:03:44 +0000 From: geraldoamador <geraldoamador(a)proton.me> To: Jacqi Galea <jacqigalea(a)gmail.com> Cc: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com>, consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org, commons <events(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, Banasidhe <banasidhe(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] [omni-events] Fw: Oakland Defense Shield Storage Hi y'all, I appreciate all the work and brainstorming we have provided to discuss providing space.

selling unneeded test equipment from sudoroom

by Jake

I posted a bunch of our test equipment that we never use and never will use, on craigslist for sale to benefit sudoroom. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/d/oakland-hewlett-packard-tektronix-la… of course sudoroom members get first dibs but these things are only taking up space and are still just barely valuable enough to be able to sell rather than sadly simply scrap them. they were once many thousands of dollars worth, but today most can be replaced with a simple USB stick. There is no functionality lost in our hackerspace by eliminating this equipment, we already have more modern hardware that works. -jake

lucrative offering to sudoroom

by Jake

the other night someone introduced by Joule (sudoroom member) offered to give Sudoroom $2000 per month if we provide space for their vacuum chamber and related equipment. We gave them our bank routing/account numbers and if the money appears, we should make the space near the robot control cabinet available so it can be set up. We will be able to use the equipment ourselves when they're not using it. This is a great opportunity to access money that would otherwise go to waste, and we can increase our monthy contribution to Omni while this is happening, which will help us keep the building. -jake

TAZ 4 3d printer

by Jake

Hi Glen, the 3D printer i pointed out to you is a TAZ 4 which was donated last year. As I think i mentioned in the following wiki, it just needs the currents calibrated for the stepper motor control on the extruder, which i think is basically a software process on this machine. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/TAZ_4 -jake

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever, in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You're also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently still that EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

Does anyone have an OBD reader? Or an airbrush gun?

These two projects aren’t related. But I want to check a check engine light and paint a figurine. Does Sudo room have a compressor? I thought about getting an airbrush. They’re not expensive. But I don’t want to deal with getting a compressor for my house when I won’t use it that much. -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Back from NYC + a 3D model with blueprints of the omnicommons lobby

by Romy Ilano

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/front-room-of-the-omni-commons-afc129d01742… ^^^ I used lidar to 3D scan the front lobby of sudoroom. Now we have a model with blueprints and fairly accurate measurements , great if you're going to project light projections. It's downloadable as a usdz I was just in NYC and inspired by all the cool light projection art I saw everywhere in the city. It was great!

Does anyone have an extra Raspberry Pi?

by Andrew R Gross

I'm building a video intercom to let people at Omni's front door ring whatever collective they want. It's just a screen with four buttons underneath for scrolling and selecting, and if they select Sudo Room it'll initiate a video connection with the internal video conference system. I can set it up to send a message on Slack to a designated channel or an email, or some other notification if other collectives want. The problem is that I'm using a personal Raspberry Pi that I use regularly as a 3D printer server. My intention was to use this one during development and order a dedicated one, but I really didn't appreciate how scarce Raspberry Pis are. Does anyone have one? If I had a preference, my first choice would be a Raspberry pi 3 A. But I think I could make do with whatever someone might have available. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

unneeded flourescent light bulbs at sudoroom

by Jake

there are two boxes of F32T8 flourescent light bulbs consisting of over 50 bulbs. I'm guessing someone brought them here thinking they would be useful but I don't see how that would be the case, so hopefully whoever brought them can take them away, unless they think sudoroom needs them for some reason and they will supply the light fixtures for them -jake

Membership $ to sudoroom via omni

by Juliana A

Hey so I did what I was instructed to some months ago, I donated to Omni commons because my employer can match donations and that's only possible to Omni commons because they are an an official non-profit. I sent an email to finance(a)omnicommons.org and say "I want this to go towards sudoroom", but I haven't received any answer, can anyone confirm if that worked? That's for August and September. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com

I have a fun riddle (it's actually a computer problem please help). As of this evening, I think my toddler did something to my computer, and now I'm experiencing the following: - All windows that have a left-right scroll bar scroll to the right continuously whenever the mouse is over the field (even if another window is active) - This usually only occurs if the mouse is stationary. If it’s moving at all, it doesn’t happen. - The effect occurs in Google Spreadsheets in Firefox and Chrome, in a file browser and Libre Office Spreadsheet. - The effect occurs regardless of mouse motion in Firefox. - If I hover over the tabs in firefox it shifts over to the next tab to the right until it gets to the right-most place - The effect doesn’t occur if the mouse is moving - It doesn’t occur in Firefox - It moves at about 2-3 tabs per second - If I press “ctrl” in Firefox the browser zooms out. - The effect doesn’t occur in Chrome - I can’t drag windows. The cursor turns into a hand, but then turns back into a cursor within a fraction of a second. Sometimes I can move the page in little steps before it happens. - I can’t resize windows. The cursor changes into a drag emblem, and it doesn’t change back, but moving the page does nothing. - I can still drag objects on the desktop. - I can still click and drag to highlight things. The effect appears specific to window manipulation - If I hover over a dropdown in the Linux settings settings menus, it scrolls. I tried switching mouses and keyboards, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. I think it's some kind of weird mobility or accessibility feature, or maybe two interacting in a weird way. I'm using Linux Mint. Can anyone figure out what the hell is going on and how to fix it? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>
