Might there be a locker space, or half-locker space, available to use or rent? Nick and I both tinker on old tube audio amplifiers, and would like to bring in some projects. The main items of concern are old vacuum tubes. They're fragile, and kind of a pain to replace. Best, K

Update on Zachary RunningWolf

by Yardena Cohen

Dear friends, At last night's delegates meeting we spent over an hour talking about RunningWolf. The delegates did not make any new consensus decisions, but we did review the status quo at length and it now seems clear to me that: * Nobody is satisfied with how mediation went * Many are unsatisfied with his signed statement * Several people feel that he has personally harassed and threatened them * When I approved ZRW's key card last week, I acted too quickly * If his return had been directly proposed to delegates, several would have blocked * Many people who I value and care about feel *very* strongly that they cannot share space with ZRW, to the point where including ZRW would implicitly exclude them After hearing all these things, I decided the best thing would be to revoke his card. Julian and I went upstairs and told him. It was raining, so we didn't ask him to leave right away, but we told him that next time he left, he would not be able to get back in. We spoke for over an hour, and I tried my best to be on good terms given the circumstances. This was my first extended interaction with the man, and I understand now why his situation has been so controversial and so insidious. He talks a good talk about Berkeley politics, pollution and indigenous sovereignty, he has done real admirable work as a tree-sitter, and he is an accomplished street artist whose medicine wheels on every bike path have added joy to countless lives in our city. He is unquestionably an elder, and deserves to be treated as such. He's also a petty, self-centered, delusional liar who seems completely unable to take any criticism or undergo any of the necessary personal growth or accountability of a "restorative" or "transformative" justice process. I see a man who cannot work meaningfully with others, who's made a long career out of burning bridges, for whom Omni is just one more proxy battle in his war against masonic lodges, UC regents, and anybody else he can blame for his conflicts other than himself and his own behavior. He told me directly that he has no respect for any mediation process, and doesn't care about how anybody else feels. He plainly admitted to making threats to break our windows, and to actually doing similar acts of sabotage (such as cutting off Berkeley Liberation Radio's antenna) although he claimed he never followed through on the threat against Omni, saying "I never do just one window". He claims to speak for a Real Oakland of vigilante justice which will rise out of the woodwork to avenge him. Don't buy it. Don't let him appropriate black struggle when all it means is glorifying gang violence and throwing the N word around. Don't let him insult his own ancestors by acting a fool in their name. And most of all, don't let him distract us from all the other important work we can be doing besides enabling his abuse. I tried to give him my best, but he doesn't want it. I am done. I will no longer waste any time advocating for him to be inside Omni. I am content with this being the end of this road. With love and solidarity, Yar

Fwd: [sudo-info] Request to use your space to shoot an interview

by Yardena Cohen

Do we want to do this? I'm not even sure who would sign their form. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 2:35 PM Subject: [sudo-info] Request to use your space to shoot an interview To: info(a)sudoroom.org Hello! My name is Frank and I'm a senior producer for Vox's new series of explainers for Netflix. I'm coming to San Francisco Tuesday evening to shoot an interview with Jackson Palmer, the creator of Dogecoin for our episode about cryptocurrencies early next week. I'm looking for spaces where we could shoot and Jackson suggested that I reach out to hackerspaces in the area. Sudo Room looks especially cool and I would love to shoot there! We would need Sudo Room to sign a location release allowing it to appear on Netflix, which I attached to this email for you to review. I would also need relative quiet during the shoot. I apologize about the short notice, but if these conditions don't sound to onerous, I would be thrilled to interview Jackson in such an awesome setting.

3D printer computer

by Jake

thanks Robb for installing fresh linux onto the 3D printer computer! lots of people helped to get our giant snarl of white filament onto a nice spool, which is situated over the printer, and it extrudes cleanly now. I also checked that the bed is level, and it is. So i'm guessing it would print OK. But I ran out of steam setting up slic3r. so if anyone wants to work on that, go ahead. The hardware should be ready to go. -jake

omni wifi going up and down constantly

by Jake

my wifi connection to Omni Commons wifi keeps going up and down every few minutes, and it's annoying. i thought it was just me and my crappy laptop. when it first started happening, it was right when sudoroom (and the whole omni) got a new router computer. we kept the old one around because it's still running things, and it's the computer where people can run whatever projects around sudoroom (like the Laser Printer access page at http://100.64.64.88 ) without worrying about messing up the router. today I forgot my laptop power adaptor so i've been using a random laptop booted off of a USB stick, and it's doing the exact same thing! do we have a rogue DHCP server or something? I have heard other people complain that the same thing is happening to them too. -jake

Omni Calendar html issue

by grant＠peoplesopen.net

Hey sudo, I noticed that html is broken for some of our events on the Omni Commons calendar. I fixed/updated the SudoMesh meeting event, but Hardware Hack Night and the Weekly Party still have some exposed html tags. Someone who is active in those events should update them or try debugging the root cause. I found it easier to just remove the html. Here's links to the problem events, https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2018-02-20/ (https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2018-02-20/) https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/sudo-room-weekly-party-2018-02-21/ (https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/sudo-room-weekly-party-2018-02-21/) Peace, - grant Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting
