[omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom people!! As Sudoroom's delegate to the Omni Commons it's my job to report back the collective will of Sudoroom regarding important topics like: new members of the Omni Commons! CLP is applying and we, Sudoroom, have to decide how we feel about them joining the commons. In two weeks, the delegates' meeting will happen and I will be asked to report the position of Sudoroom. If we don't figure that out in an email thread or at a sudoroom meeting, i will have to make something up! Yet another reason to attend our awesome Sudoroom meetings on Wednesday evenings at 8PM, on Jitsi or in person at the space! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 22:24:23 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com Subject: [omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro Hi all, I'm forwarding this to omni's "consensus" list because it's a proposal that affects the whole community! I think CLP would be great as a new member collective at omni. They are paying $200 for their current 10x10 storage unit and are willing to pay omni the same for relatively unsecured space in the basement, which is totally reasonable - generous even! They would also bring in an active community of volunteers, which would be huge for omni. Meeting Billy and Rafiq this weekend was a pleasure. It looks like there are now several new member collective proposals in the pipeline, which is awesome! I hope that we can use this opportunity to practice onboarding new groups in a way that is as frictionless and accessible as we can, and also invite this potential new generation of omni member collectives to co-create the process alongside us. Our next delegates meeting is in ~2 weeks, April 7th. Typically for important proposals (like a new member collective), we would have one meeting to discuss details, give delegates another 2 weeks to bring the proposal for discussion among their groups, and then come back for (hopefully) full consensus at the next meeting, which would be April 21st. I think it'd be great for folks to have conversations and ask questions in the meantime so that we can all be prepared for the big meetings once they happen. Thanks all :D ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: deskhandle via commons <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Date: Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 2:00 PM Subject: [omni-commons] WCK/CLP intro To: commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com <Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com> Hey everyone, this is Billy with Community Liberation Programs, formerly known as Worker's Community Kitchen. We are a socialist organization that creates dual power programs in partnership with community members. Currently we have a water delivery/ unhoused encampment commissary program as well as a community garden program both in Hayward. We have a program in Berkeley which works directly with the community at People's Park to organize crucial material support and gear up in defense of the upcoming eviction. We also have a reading group starting in the SF Mission as a preliminary step to bring folks together for a new program forming there, and another working group investigating a new program centered in Oakland Chinatown. We are really excited to be invited to join the new phase at the Omni and are particularly looking forward to supporting fund raising efforts through event planning. We were already working on creating a summer film series as a fund raising event for our organization and it seems aligned to use this as an opportunity to support the Omni as well. Additionally, we were told that we could potentially move some stuff around in the area pictured below to take up a roughly 10 x 10 space for our storage. Currently we have a storage unit in Berkeley so we'd love to move that over here and start being in the space more regularly! We can send a delegate to the regular meetings and are ready to start event planning! I have CC'd the primary CLP email address to make sure it is put in the communication loop! All the best! Billy

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.

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 the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's 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 need to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, 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

Light projection rooms

by Romy Ilano

So at this stage I sent out plans to cool artists The Omni ballroom is ideal for light projection room environments https://www.flickr.com/gp/miromi/25u9SM Just sharing some plans!these would be ideal for pepppe to take selfies in similar to a museum and I’m wondering how to figure audio into this What’s really nice is that while there are commercial free ish mobile phone apps for distorting the projectors for these light projections it’s not too difficult to build our own ! These rooms could rotate and have stories and be immersive plays or informational stuff and even gasp educational 😎 Sent from my iPhone

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/why-we-love-sudoroom-hardware-hack-night/ I think basically there is no such thing as radio shack or the weird stuff warehouse in sunnyvale anymore. everything is online except for weird holdouts like the SudoRoom hardware hack night. so now a blog post about that! it's just nice to be tactile and talk in person. It's like going to a library . imagine how horrible it would be if there were only ebooks and no more physical books! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

New equipment: Homer the light projector and Fabian the silver screen!

by Romy Ilano

Going forward, I'm going to anthropormorphize the heck out of all our cool equipment! The silver screen is named Fabian, and the light projector is named Homer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping#Equipment I think I'm going to do a series of interviews where I talk to each equipment piece and ask them about their lives, their power equipment and how we can connect to them and do weird projects. And then a "person on the street" type deal where I interview various SudoRoom members and ask them what cool things we could do with each piece! Anyway Fabian the silver screen is totally silver! and according to Jake we can do real 3D movie son him! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

drawing projection at omnicommons

by Romy Ilano

https://youtu.be/Tolft9ONZw0 Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help! I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool! https://flic.kr/p/2n7GRgT https://flic.kr/p/2n7FkGd ^^^ So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested. The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!

updates on the sudoroom calendar- adding bike parties (so many opportunities fro collaboration!)

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people! - the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open! lots of taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate - the east bay bike party (which is this friday)! https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/ - the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and start messing around with cool designs. - there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay richmond) at this event - multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of opportunities to play with mobile light projections - the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the evening it will be fun ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Potential SudoRoom @ the April Noisebridge party fundraiser?

Chatting with Noisebridge - They're having their stupid hackathon in April (4/1-3 ) and there's going to be a lot of fun! https://www.noisebridge.net/images/5/51/NB14posterV4.jpg They're interested in doing light projection mapping for the Noisebridge event, but also showing SudoRoom history and fundraising as well. I can imagine so many cool ways to use light projection mappings with artists at this party! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Light projection mapping progress - finally moving forward!

by Romy Ilano

I got a lot of help from sudoroom members with the light projection mapping ideas. Also from Noisebridge! So far a lot of stuff online is people using really nice larger projectors, and there's a lot of great sophistication with mapping beforehand, especially in Blender, etc. But after chatting with folks, I'm taking the route first with small handheld laser projectors that hook up easily to smartphones and tablets or can take SD cards. The small projectors have been a good choice to get people excited. It's a lot more spontaneous. THere's just something about hooking up a laptop to a huge projector, being stuck at the back of room etc., but with the hand held projectors I can go anywhere and manipulate the images manually without having to make fancy graphics and videos - Marc discussed mounting the projectors onto bicycles - both projectors have mounts or have threaded quarter inch? inserts common to cameras, and I'm fairly confident I can put them on my goPro style mounts with some work. Aiming maybe for the next East Bay Bike Party which is March 11 (Friday night) - oh ya marc I still have your camera mount on wood for the stand will bring it back Sunday or Tuesday is that OK! - Carl G from SudoRoom has some projects he made for pixel art - we projected onto the movable walls in the sudoroom ballroom. Since it was so dark we were able to get a decent size (the walls) and there was a lot of energy and excitement! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917779157/in/photostream/ Even nicer, I have been trying to get my regular cartoonist drawing group that meets wednesdays to get involved and even hang out at SudoRoom and omnicommons. They're just very clever and focus a lot on animation and cartoons! I finanlly got the projector working and was projecting Brian Kolm's crazy cat onto the wall, a bowl and on a spinning lazy susan. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917436165/in/dateposted/ Even in he brightly lit movie theater (new parkway) the cartoonists got realy excited! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917144029/in/photostream/ A lot of people are really into Hayao Miyazaki and theme park rides. I mean we aren't going to attempt this yet without asking, but what is the next step from immersive light projection rooms in the Omni Commons Ballroom? Imagine a guided ride in a wheeled cart right? wouldn't that be super fun? Hmmm!!!!! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Meeting Summary

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudo. Here're the minutes from tonight's meeting, along with the TL;DR: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting-keep Reopening After some quieter months, Sudo's getting more active. Reopening isn't going to entail any single change, just a continuation of the recent bloom in activity. Expect to see more events, more communication on social media, and more new faces. (Social media links here: https://twitter.com/sudoroom/ https://www.instagram.com/sudohuman/) Clean-up This too is gradual, but Mark would like to hold a cleaning day on Sunday, March 13th from 1 PM onward. If you're eager to clear some space for a project or decorate a bit, don't be shy: step up and offer to help Mark on the 13th. Alternatively, be the change you wanna see. Jake hauled off hundreds of pounds of Ewaste this week. He can give you the address if anyone else wants to do the same. Events (https://sudoroom.org/calendar/) ~~ Tuesdays: Hardware Hacking from 7 PM ~~ Wednesdays: Sudo Meeting @ 8 PM ~~ Thursdays: Javascipt coding night >> Sunday, March 13th @ 1 PM: Clean-up day *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Thinking about projects in micro mobility and change management for Americans. How do we get people who drive cars to walk as much as people who take subways? Make safer biking paths? Remove easy parking and encourage car drivers to park and walk or take a bike share Most people don’t want to live in strip mall friendly places anymore Along with light protection mapping this is another cool topic of my time at SudoRoom!! https://www.telegraphforpeople.com/312-rally/details Sent from my iPhone
