thoughts on helping new members get up and running with SudoRoom (non obvious approaches to diversity)

by romy＠snowyla.com

I have some thoughts about helping new members get up and running at SudoRoom. - I haven't been participating in discussions as much as I could have because I get everything in a big email summary. It's hard to see when people are replying to me, I guess over the years I forgot there's an easy web panel board. Maybe we could link to this more directly? https://sudoroom.org/lists/hyperkitty/list/sudo-discuss@sudoroom.org/ - Helping out women and non binary folks Over the years people have asked me to help get more women and cool people get involved in hackerspaces. This is a noble cause, but a lot of the approaches like celebrating diversity etc. might not be the right approach for hackers and nerds. How do you get more women and minorities and hackerspaces while keeping the spirit of the hack? It's quite complicated, true, because SudoRoom is not for everybody. There was a time when there were a lot of brogrammers working on startups who were interested in joining. They were not interested in any social good causes or making the world a better place - I think they were looking more for something like WeWork, and that was fine! Maybe they could join a "tech incubator space" At the same time there has been a cool drive to get more minorities and women into tech spaces. I think this is very cool! It's obviously "complicated", with so many social and class and gender structures going on. I've seen a lot of these initiatives, and there are some easy wins that nobody can deny that mostly focus on: (A) People trying to break into tech to get a good job that pays well. These initiatives have a lot of corporate and branding pep talks. They have their place, and we definitely want to help people learn to fish so they can fulfill their basic needs. These kinds of initiatives involve a lot of interview training, career development initiatives, and basic intro to coding or git courses. I should know because as a self taught programmer I participated in these, and I benefitted a ton from these! The downside to career-focused tech diversity causes is that they focus on money and careers. We all know that the obvious money and career topics are actually not the best choices for people who are truly interested on creating and learning about programming. Even for long term career growth you want people who want to learn programming, not just how to build websites on Ruby on Rails and javascript shopping ecarts. (B) Initiatives around teaching local youth to get into tech or workshops to tutor kids. Who can argue against these? It's very feel good. The only downside with teaching and volunteering with kids is that the pressure is heavily set upon women in tech to lead these, and I personally don't think there is anything about women that makes them more appropriate for taking care of kids or teaching them. Also, societally we need more male or trans folks to teach kids for diversity as education below the university level is heavily skewed to females. So if SudoRoom wants to tackle the diversity topic, I think we have to find a more unique way to do this. (A) careers for minorities breaking into tech and (B) educating women are well served by people outside of hackerspaces. (A) and (B) are not what SudoRoom is particularly great at, and I do not see how most people can become their best hacker doing either (A) or (B) when they are not suited to it. We also come to one of Omni Commons' greatest weaknesses - a love for administration and endless meetings. I know it's the nature of the space, but I'd like to help get people who are hackers to come and hack here without having to get involved in endless meetings and discussions. A hackerspace should provide an environment in which hackers can come, socialize but also reach their ideal flow state and creativity. If people are going to a lot of administrative meetings, are coordinating meetups, or hyping other hackerspaces in red states in the United States, that doesn't leave them the opportunity to develop themselves as hackers and create and add to the vibe of the space. (It is also extremely irresponsible to hype any place in a red state at this time, or tell any hackers it is a good idea to move there, especially women or anyone who has a woman in their family. Women are literally getting prosecuted for murder for having miscarriages! oh my!) OK so this was all long winded but the gist of it is: Let's try to get the diversity ball rolling in hackerspaces in a non obvious way, something different from the diversity non profit complex. Let's help people get ramped up and into the flow state. Let's free women from the obligation of volunteering to educate kids or do noncreative work. Let's make complex technical projects easy to understand and ramp up on, and not cage women and minorities into endless beginner's projects in the name of making technology more accessible for all. There are many ways to make things better, and one of those ways is being the best hacker you want to be!

thinking of starting a Blender learn together meetup / online thread

by romy＠snowyla.com

Hi! I'm thinking of starting a Blender learn together meetup/online Course. Ideally this should be during a weekly or semimonthly/biweekly night (not even sure). What would be cool is if we made tutorials that were very SudoRoom specific, such as constructing a 3D model of the SudoRoom space, or creating a SudoRoom logo in 3 dimensions. Also, this would be a cool way to get video editing and the light projection stuff wrapped up into the SudoRoom projects!

[omni-consensus] Fwd: Proposed budget process for the events team (fwd)

by Jake

Dear Sudoroom, As delegate I have to represent the interests of the sudoroom membership on issues that affect everyone. I haven't got a lot of responses to other proposals i've put forward. I want to remind everyone that the best way to stay involved with omni-wide decisions is to join the consensus email list, and even attend delegates' meetings if you like. They're open to everyone. Below is a proposal to let the events booking group have a fund made from money that events bring in, that they can make use of with less supervision, in the interests of improving the process of putting on events. It's an important moneymaking group at Omni and I trust them to do a good job with it. If nobody objects then i'll say Sudoroom is in favor of this proposal. -jake sudoroom's delegate to the omni commons ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 31 May 2022 15:21:57 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> Cc: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] Fwd: Proposed budget process for the events team Yes, ideally all collective members would take an active interest in every detail of Omni's operations. In practice, the delegates often have to use their own judgement to figure out which things need to be escalated to the status of a "full community-wide proposal" and which things are just minor operational changes which fall reasonably within the parameters of prior consensus decisions. That's the balance we've struck in our own pragmatic mix of direct vs representative democracy. I would welcome proposals to add more clear structure around this. Tbh this proposal is my attempt at creating some structure which solves some of that problem. I am not a delegate and I don't really care either way. I just want other folks to consider it, and the consensus list is the place to start those conversations.

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 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 of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in case you didn't know, there is definitely a covid surge happening right now 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 the telescreen (linked last in this email) 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 soon after 6pm. 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 after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate 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, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: 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

Re: [omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: BIPOC and Oppressed Gender Safe Space Committee (BOGSS)

by Jake

Dear Sudoroom, Tonight I will not make it to Hardware Hacking Tuesday but I suspect people will probably be there, although i haven't seen any announcements. This email is a reminder that we need to discuss the BOGSS proposal at the Sudoroom meeting tomorrow night, and figure out what questions and/or amendments we want to send our delegate (me) to the Delegates' meeting on Thursday. People have already said things about it, both directly to me and publicly, and I have my own amendments to propose, and we can talk about all of those tomorrow night. I know everyone is busy (I am too!) but this is a pretty important issue for Omni that we need to engage with as much as possible. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 5 May 2022 20:56:02 -0700 (PDT) Dear Sudoroom, Today I voted in behalf of Sudoroom in favor of the MOP proposal, and they are now a member collective of Omni Commons. I emailed about them on April 20th but didn't hear anything back, so I hope everyone is okay with that decision. Today a proposal was introduced for a new committee to be formed at Omni Commons to value and protect the safety and interests of BIPOC/Non-Men. this is the original proposal in PDF form: https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220505/ab900701/a… this is an editable "cryptpad" and we are requested to "please leave comments in red" https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/6IhZqwyXxN6CrEvtiljmnqTa/ actually this is a cryptpad copy of their document just for sudoroom, and I will forward our discussion to Rafiq to integrate our input. Other collectives are asking questions too, so if you want to be more engaged in the discussion, please join the [omni-consensus] list! But definitely make discussion here in the sudoroom list and get engaged. If Sudoroom members have concerns or objections, we need to communicate them promptly and work toward agreeable amedments. It is not an option to simply reject the proposal, but rather if you have specific concerns then we need to work with each other to address those concerns and come up with something agreeable. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Hey all, I'm boosting this email with a new subject line so that it's clear to readers - this contains an important new proposal!!! Brief summary: this proposal forms a congress of BIPOC and non-men from all Omni's groups, who then elect a small committee which has its own seat on the board, its own delegate, and a few specific powers related to addressing racism and sexism. This is an important step towards making omni representative and accountable! This finally begins to put our Statement of Solidarity into action! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: rafiq.ali <rafiq.ali(a)protonmail.com> Date: Thu, May 5, 2022 at 12:16 PM To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> I added a little note at the beginning on our proposal and the events from 2 weeks ago. Happy to provide a short statement. In general, I appreciate the apologies made and think this can be a growing opportunity to forge a stronger collective. If it's possible, we can open discussion on the proposal this week if enough delegates have had a chance to review with the idea of approving at the next delegate meeting (or worst case, the one after). As mentioned earlier, we are proposing the creation of a safe space Committee (see attached). We appreciate and accept all feedback/comments/concerns. In struggle, Rafiq CLP

forrest mims notebook at sudoroom and maybe our own engineering notebook!

by romy＠snowyla.com

I'd just like to leave this up here, some copies of the old forrest mims notebooks. I didn't do a lot of soldering and circuit building when Radio Shack was still a thing, but people here at SudoRoom told me that these were in circulation. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/sets/72177720299391640 I'm thinking of making a version of engineering notebooks similar to forrest mims. they could be tailored so that they're down to earth and appeal to people who BIPOC / cool independent women who don't necessarily want to care for children or become mothers / and more!

Fwd: STUFF REMOVAL SATURDAY JUNE 4!

by Yardena Cohen

Hey all, I'm trying to organize a massive "stuff removal" from omni next weekend (Saturday June 4). So far there are two large piles of "removal candidates" in the northwest basement and northwest entrance hall: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpg https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg If you'd like any of these things to STAY, you should MOVE it from these piles in the next week! If you'd like any other things to GO, you should ADD it to these piles! If you'd like to HELP remove things next Saturday, either by carrying things outside day-of, finding new homes for things in advance, or arranging trucks to take them various places, then that would be AMAZING! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, May 27, 2022 at 6:21 PM Subject: Stuff that's going away - maybe in a week? To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> We now have two large "junk piles" - northwest entrance hall and northwest basement. I believe almost everything that is "in question" about whether it stays at omni is now in these two piles. https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpg https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-1.jpg https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg Could I pretty please ask that anybody who still wants stuff in these two piles, please claim and move them in the next week? We have a work party scheduled for next Saturday June 4. I would like for this to be a junk removal party. How do we all feel about this? Would folks be able to arrange trucks to pick up whatever's still there in a week? I feel a sense of urgency because Village of Love is about to pay us a bunch of money to move in and occupy both of these areas.

come to sudoroom

by Jake

Hi Pauldogg, I saw your application for membership to sudoroom - we are in the process of improving the instructions on that page so people realize that the first steps to joining sudoroom are things like joining the sudoroom-discuss email list, and coming to the space! I sent you an invite to the email list and you should join and say hi there, and meet other people and hear about the events we have. You can come to the space on Tuesday night for Hardware Hacking Tuesdays for example, or a meeting on Wednesday (usually?) and JavaScript Thursdays. Or just write an email to the list asking when anyone else (a member) might be in the space and willing to host you so you can see the space and start meeting people. thank you! -jake

Oakland People's Budget Initiative Community Event @ Omni Commons5/27/22

by Silver Zahn

[image: We're hiring!(1).png] *Below you will find a flyer and eventbrite link for our event, please share it widely with your networks.* https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cda-community-info-shares-tickets-340337307047 I hope this email finds you well. I am a Community Organizer with Community Democracy in Action (CDA). CDA is a sub-committee of the Community Democracy Project <https://communitydemocracyproject.org/>, an all volunteer run organization that wrote the People's Budget Initiative <https://communitydemocracyproject.org/faqs/>. We are reaching out to our like-minded community members to invite you to the *People's Budget Initiative Info Session and Fundraiser *happening on *Friday, May 27th from 4-10pm at Omni Commons* (4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland). The People's Budget Initiative, *if passed*, will restructure the budget process in the City of Oakland so that all residents will have a direct vote on where their tax dollars go. Year after year, we have seen how our fellow community members fight to get a budget that reflects our needs. Despite our best efforts, the current budgeting process lends too much power to the Mayor and outside lobbies; leaving a mere 6% of the General Funds to go to essential departments like Violence Prevention, Parks, Recreation, and Youth, Economic and Workforce Development, Libraries, Housing and Community Development, Race and Equity, and Public Works. *Please join us on May 27th to learn more about the People's Budget Initiative and how it can create foundational change in our beautiful Oakland. * *Below you will find a flyer and eventbrite link for our event, please share it widely with your networks.* https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cda-community-info-shares-tickets-340337307047 "A budget is more than just a series of numbers on a page; it is an embodiment of our values." - Barack Obama We are at the beginning stages of this campaign and are excited to partner with community members and organizations that share our vision. We want to build a movement that uplifts our communities through mutual sharing and respect. *If you are interested in getting more involved, partnering, or endorsing the People's Budget Initiative, please do not hesitate to email me. * Thank you so much for your time, Silver <3 Community Organizer @Communitydemocracyaction <https://www.instagram.com/communitydemocracyaction/> communitydemocracyproject.org *Community Democracy Project is endorsed by:* Sustainable Economies Law Center, Ministerio Latino, Malcom X Grassroots Movement, Oakland Food Policy Council, Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective, Oakland Climate Action Coalition, Hope Collaborative, Omni Commons, Food Not Bombs, The People's Community Medics, Safer DIY Spaces, Liberated Lens, and more!

WNB last night and holiday

by Juliana A

Last night was fun! 4 ppl showed up, including some from this list! I won't be able to make it this coming Monday since I'll be coming back from a trip, if any wnb from this list want to be in charge I'm totally fine! It seems there's always people at Omni C on Monday evenings, so getting in should not be an issue. I created a Slack Workspace for the WNB Coding Night: https://join.slack.com/t/sudoroomwnbco-x885869/shared_invite/zt-19inm31eb-g… Feel free to join if you're a woman/nb! BTW I wasn't able to use my card to get in, it seems there's a new lock with a number combination? Or it was already there and I didn't notice. The card light got green but nothing. Someone indoors opened the door for me. When I first got the card I was able to open the door. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com

front door lock issue

Hi Juliana, the box with the number combination on the front door is for when the electronic system doesn't work at all, it contains a physical key. I maintain the electronic system for the front door and you can call me whenever you're at the front door and can't get in, and I can help figure out what is not working and remotely open the door for you. I emailed you my number before. It is (415)533-3699. You can also have root access on the door control system if you want it and can connect over ssh and do everything I can do. according to the logs, the card system was used a lot last night and worked (only one try) for a lot of people. It shows that your card worked twice: May 23 18:47:52 localhost node[661]: #ANNOUNCE"invictus"julianaA<julianaferreira(a)gmail.com>|addedbyjakeTueMay1019:37:09PDT2022 May 23 18:47:52 localhost node[661]: Access granted on Mon May 23 2022 18:47:52 GMT-0700 (PDT) May 23 18:47:58 localhost node[661]: #ANNOUNCE"invictus"julianaA<julianaferreira(a)gmail.com>|addedbyjakeTueMay1019:37:09PDT2022 May 23 18:47:58 localhost node[661]: Access granted on Mon May 23 2022 18:47:58 GMT-0700 (PDT) if the electronic system is not working it's a big deal and I come to the space to fix it. the door latch is getting "sticky" and sometimes you have to pull harder to get it to open. Note that the door handle will not turn with the electronic latch. people forget that the door handle does not turn and think it is not unlocked, but it is unlocked, just pull it open. -jake

Looking for a square, 4-pin JST connector

by Andrew R Gross

I'm looking for a square 4-pin JST connector and I CANNOT find one. I can't find a simple 4-pin connector with 2 rows. I need one to match the receiving connector in these pictures. It appears to be a 2 mm pitch in the PH family or something similar. But like I said, I cannot find ANYWHERE that sells a 4-pin connector in this square arrangement. Nothing would make me happier than for someone to share a link and ask how I didn't find it in a minute. It seems like such a simple part! https://photos.app.goo.gl/yX732MGJEMbTF6c1A Thanks, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

card writer hardware

by Yardena Cohen

Does anybody have access to a magnetic stripe card WRITER? They are more expensive than the small reader type we have on the front door. If not, they are like $90 online.

Freelance Product Development Engineer Needed, Paid Work

by drew.d.cohen＠gmail.com

Hello! I am looking for a freelance product development engineer who has experience working with IOT, microcontrollers, and custom circuitry. The project is an accessory for a musical instrument that is going to be scaled up and linked together for a large band of 100-200 instruments. There are prototypes that are about ~80% of the way finished, but we need another person with experience to really dial it in now. This is paid work, and we anticipate the project lasting between 1-3 months, but maybe less. The end product is going to be relatively high end for a professional band, so we really are looking for an engineer with experience, not your homie who likes to tinker with things. Let me know if you are interested, or if you know someone who may fit the bill, thanks! Regards, Andrew 415-297-2535 (text is fine) P.S. This is my first time posting here, so let me know if there's a better list for this kind of thing, thanks!

[omni-consensus] Proposal for warning letter to Mike Tenuto about skylights refund

by Jake

Sudoroom members if you have any objections to this proposal please speak up otherwise I will assume Sudoroom is in favor -jake (delegate of sudoroom to omni commons) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 19:00:25 -0700 From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Proposal for warning letter to Mike Tenuto about skylights refund This is something we've discussed during the last two delegates meetings. Hope we can take a vote on this tomorrow: - Propose to ask our Lawyer Jesse to send a letter to Mike requiring hime to refund Omni the money we prepaid for the skylights ($9800) by the next delegates meeting June 2nd. If funds have not been received by then, Omni will file a bond claim against Mike's contractor surety bond to recuperate our money that way. Mike is also invited to arrange a time with Omni to come reclaim the windows he brought in which are currently lying loose on the roof. Patrik
