Hi all,
It might be time to look for alternatives to the sudo-humans software that
both CCL and sudo room depend on for signing up and tracking members.
Sudo-humans <https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-humans> is still missing some
very basic must-have features (like notifying anyone that someone's credit
card is bouncing, or that a new member signed up!), and the code seems
fairly unmaintainable now that the initial author has left...
I've seen both CiviCRM <https://civicrm.org/>and Odoo
<https://github.com/odoo/odoo> suggested as well-developed and
well-maintained Open Source solutions. Several of the hackerspaces in the
Nation of Makers network seemed to be switching towards Odoo, for example.
Does anyone have experience with CiviCRM, or Oboo, or want to help us
explore our best options? Please pitch in, and help us decide! It would be
great if CCL and Sudo could move together to a new platform.
Here's some resources that may be useful:

Hello Sudo Room,

screws (self drilling tips).
- Donating about ~20-30 1 1/2-2 1/2 inch screws (MIXED).
- A cheap mini screw driver set (for computer sized work).
- Few miscellaneous sockets (no wrench)
- A hose with a hand pump the line.
- Couple of medium trash bags.
- A bunch of washers (fender as well), and lock washers.
- Angle grinding discs (we have quite a few), angle grinder is online.
- A few regular sized screwdrivers
- Wound and Burn Dressing (for the first aid in the bathroom).
- One Natural Light can of beer.
- 2 botttles of hand soap.

If the Omni in General needs the 3 inch screws (recommended for framing

i brought in a new bandsaw for sudoroom. it's free-standing and very awesome.
It can cut the fuck through anything you put in there, be careful.
i'm going to get some metal-cutting blades for it, for now it has a coarse
wood-cutting blade.
here's the "manual" for it if we need it, uploaded to the wiki. i don't know
how to make a wiki page for it and reference the file, maybe you can do that.

Hi all,
I am leading a community submersible project and think//hope some of you
will be interested in joining up the efforts! The idea is to make it
available for everyone to use after some training. Right now we need help
with fundraising to be able to make the improvements to keep everyone safe,
but we will be having work days soon and welcome everyone!
Here is a link to the fb group for it (sorry, it's just way too easy to
organize from there): https://www.facebook.com/groups/363742440772413/
Here's a link to the fundraiser: https://igg.me/at/oursub/
Hope to see you all in the deep!

want to attend
To: Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com>
Hi Jenny!
I've attached a flyer about the upcoming street medic training in San
Francisco put on by Frontline Wellness United. Please share the information
with folks at Omni Commons and activists you think may be interested.
Frontline is an organization that was born at Standing Rock. It is an
organization that provides healthcare and training to activists. Classes
and services are provided free of charge to the activist community.
Thanks!

Whomever had put a large green compost bin without a lid in front of CCL -
I moved it to the trash room for now.
We really don't want to encourage accumulating too much food debris near
our lab, and a compost bin without a lid is a giant no-no, because it
becomes a breeding ground for flies that contaminate our experiments...

For the fans of John Perry Barlow...

I have put Steve on the agenda again for this wednesdays meeting. I don't feel
like we came to a healthy conclusion at the last formal meeting when the issues
were discussed, and i haven't heard anything from the mediation that I was
expecting to happen.
I have heard that there have been other incidents, and as much as I would like
to forget about this whole issue and pretend like there is no problem, it turns
out that there are people who have considered (and some who likely have)
avoiding sudoroom and/or the Omni entirely because of Steve's behavior, and I
think we need to talk about it more and address the issue properly.
If there are people at this meeting to talk about the issues then great, if not
then maybe we'll just wait for the next incident.
Note: I am not trying to get people to align against a person or vilify anyone,
but i think it's necessary to address behaviors that are incompatible with the
environment and community we want to maintain.

Hello all, Happy Sunday,
There is a person a person in Sudoroom who is begrudgingly refusing to
leave. His name is Cheyenne, whom was working on a model airplane earlier
in the night.
I informed him that since there are no other members around, and that he
would have to leave. He has been drinking quite heavy 3 beers, and stated
about 10 into is refusal to leave that he has a friend "up stairs", which
is why he doesn't have to leave.
I then asked him if that person was here, and he gave me a blank stare. I
then informed him again you are able to be here only if members are
present, especially at night. I then informed him that If you have a
problem bring it up with the community, at that he said go get the
community.
So I am writing this email. I have also woke this person up here already
twos before, and informed him each time this is not a place to sleep. I
think his intentions are good, but just need some guidance on how to use
the space more effectively.
Would somebody please, help moderate with him, as he thinks "I am just
fucking with him."
We are exiting now.

Hi friends & comrades:
Writing here to inform folks that the Temescal Business Improvement
District is currently conducting a campaign to transform the parcel where
the former Kasper's Hot Dogs stand is located into a public plaza, cutting
off the connection from Shattuck through to 47th St and Telegraph.
They are having open meetings re: the proposal on April 3rd, April 18th,
and a third date still TBD. I think it's important that longstanding and
potentially-impacted communities show up and represent!

Looking for someone interested in doing a paid hardware job in Palo Alto on
short notice.
Job Description:
There is an old (1996) intercom system in our building. When someone
presses my apartment number button at the gate, I get a "call" on a
phone-like device at home and press a button to unlock the door strike
downstairs.
Below is a link to the user-guide of the device:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/3044/Aiphone-Video-Sentry-
Pantilt-My-1cd.html?page=1#manual
I need to modify (rig/hack) it in such a way, that "open" button is
"pressed" automatically 3 seconds after incoming call. So that there is no
need to have person pickup the call and push the button.
The reason for that is that on certain days I need to let some people into
the building without being present there. So ideally I'd like this rig to
only work during certain windows (which I program manually) and not 24/7.
I'll provide more detail on how it should operate.
Hello,
I'm looking for a audio hardware savvy person who can talk to a friend of
mine on the topic. He's working on SPI-controlled interfaces and wrangling
with concepts like digital potentiometers, multiplexers and daisy chaining.
If there is someone who is knowledgable in this area please shoot me a
message.
Hi all,
I noticed that glass door by the vending machine. Is that for eventual installation there? I was thinking it could be used a board similar to Commons board in main room to track tasks with appropriate writing implement.

I uploaded the correct firmware to the machine (it was running firmware for a
machine with different physical attributes) and now it seems to print fine.
I didn't have the time to properly prepare the bed though, so there was some
non-adhesion, but the giant spool of filament is hooked up and it's ready to
go.
cura-lulzbot slicer is installed on the computer there, and "sudoroom white
ABS" filament is defined and should work. Pronterface (red icon) is the
program to use to drive the printer and run the gcode generated by cura.
don't do the SD card thing, it won't work and is terrible.
