I have it on good authority that tonight's meeting will include:
* A variety of mac & cheese (including vegan and gluten free)
* Chocolate chip cookies
* One or more new members signing up!
Also: Last night quite a few people put in many hours of effort sorting the
sudo room south wall shelves. It's still in process so excuse the temporary
increase in mess in some areas. The goal is to put everything (ALL THE
THINGS!) in labeled containers!

I just looked into this more. The September 10 date (and the URL
above) is from a similar action that happened in 2014. I did find a
page for this year's action https://www.battleforthenet.com/july12/
... but it's not linked to yet from the main page, and it says:
"you’ll embed a bit of javascript in the header of your site. We’ll be
sharing the code for them soon!"
So I think maybe it's too soon for this. Let's check back next week.
Sudo will have to abstain as this was not discussed on this list or at a
sudo meeting (and as an aside, would anyone like to become an omni delegate
for sudo? - https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/omni-delegates ), but fyi
this is up for consensus tonight:

Proposal to Ban Running Wolf from the Omni Commons
Submitted by Laura, 6/14/17
PROPOSAL: Running Wolf has continually disregarded posted Omni Commons
rules despite being warned both verbally and in writing. These violations
include using the Omni for personal storage and sleeping. His behavior is
volatile and at times constitutes harassment. He should be permanently
banned from entering the Omni. If we pass this proposal, we will need to
make a plan to prevent Running Wolf from vandalizing the Omni in
retribution.
REASONS: In our most recent basement clean out, I found a large duffle bag
with items that appeared to belong toRunning Wolf hidden in a pile of other
stuff. I placed it in the pile of items to be hauled, but it disappeared
before the hauler came. There is currently a dresser in the den that
contains clothes and other personal affects that I believe are his. There
have been multiple occasions in the past when I have placed warning notes
on piles of personal belongings in the den/computer area that appeared to
belong to him. These notes have included the reminder that personal storage
is not allowed at the Omni.
Daniel has seen Running Wolf sleeping in the den area twice in the past 2
weeks. He wrote up what happened in an email, referring to Running Wolf as
"a person":
*"Today I arrived to OC about 7AM and when checking the areas where I may
wanted to work, I came across a person sleeping by the computers. **This is
the same person I have found about 12 days earlier late night wrapped up in
what I said it was a blanket (can be a sleeping bag). *
*Anyhow, because I felt unsafe to wake the person up by myself, and since I
have seen (anonymous) downstairs in CCL, I went to check with (anonymous)
about what should we do. We ended up going upstairs and wake this person
up, and remind him that Omni its not a place to sleep.*
*(Anonymous) had to clap his hands hard about 4-5 fives to get him to wake
up. This person quickly claimed he was not sleeping, even though he was
rolled up with blanket (or sleeping bag). -This person increased his tone
of voice and tried to change the subject. He continue talking loud, even
after we have left him alone." (Daniel agreed to have his email included in
this proposal)*
Running Wolf has also violated our Statement of Solidarity. He recently was
observed shouting "Fuck immigrants! This is my land" within earshot of
several people, at least 2 of whom were immigrants. This constitutes
harassment, and is one example of how he creates a hostile environment. In
addition, when he is asked to reconsider his behavior or is reminded of the
rules, he often yells at the person in a threatening and derogatory manner,
expressing a sense of entitlement to exemption from the agreements of the
community.
His presence in the den/shared computer area discourages other people from
using the area because he leaves the area he uses dirty. He speaks loudly
and aggressively, disturbing people working in the area around him, and
sometimes arguing with them. He continues to need reminding to speak in a
normal tone even after being asked multiple times.
Unlike most members of the Omni community, Running Wolf contributes almost
nothing, often not picking up after himself or helping others who are
working on Omni related tasks around him.
Running Wolf's attitude toward the Omni is that the rules don't apply to
him and that he doesn't need to contribute anything to our community.
Requests to change his behavior are met with hostility.
I propose that he be permanently banned.

Greetings from Battlemesh in Vienna!
Before I left a few days ago, I sorted the ewaste pile at the entry to sudo
rough tally of components in it. Our new recycling company (which is a
nonprofit, actually), Civicorps, has a free ewaste pickup program.
Would someone be willing to fill out the online form
<http://www.civicorpsrecycling.org/e-waste-pick-request-form/> and be the
point of contact for the day of pickup?
Rough breakdown:
70 items:
* Laptops: 20
* LCD Monitor: 1
* Fax Machines: 2 (tho i think they're just handsets)
* Hard Drives: 10
* Printers: 15
* Other electronics or small appliances: 22
For 'designated parking area' you can mention the loading parking spot
(yellow curb) on 48th and maybe put some cones out the day of to reserve
the spot.
Plz reply to this thread if you're willing to take this on!

Hi Robert,
I remember you came by Tuesday with a fridge repair part and started working on
the fridge, but it's still not working. People are talking about buying a
replacement fridge.
Are you planning to repair it, and if so, when?
thank you

The fridge smells bad and appears no longer working. I am disposing of
everything in the fridge and freezer that doesn't seem worth keeping.
I'm also going to wipe down the inside surfaces of the fridge in the
hope of making it smell better.
If it smells bad, it's going in the trash (or compost if I can tell
it's compostable).

Subject: Someone set of fire extinguisher: NO fire, but clean up needed.
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 13:35:28 -0700
From: Sierk <sierk(a)riseup.net>
To: discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org
I don't know many details yet, so a quick initial update for now, and a
call-out for cleaning help:
It appears that someone let in a couple of kids to the Omni earlier. One
or more of them seem to have set off a fire extinguisher in the front
area, inside, near the entrance (whether on purpose or accidently, I
don't know). All I know for certain is that the 'dust' has spread to
most of the building by now, so if anyone has time this afternoon, we
probably can use help cleaning up.
Hello folks, does anyone have a used webcam that would like to get rid of?
I would like to use it for a little project that I am working on.
Thanks!

Hi Dan,
I am back in town, and I can come Saturday if you are still planning to

Re: the July 1 mesh network event at Omni, one way to raise awareness would
be to write a blog piece for the Internet Society:

The invitation is still open, but if no one wants to take it up, I can
write something.
There's nothing on the sudomesh site, so I'm not sure if this is going
forward. ?
Hey all,
I'm working with the Debt Collective (https://new.debtcollective.org)
and we have built a new open source platform for debt resistance. The
platform helps people automate debt disputes to specific corporations
and government entities using a variety of mobile-friendly web forms.
Once people have disputed debt, they can use the platform to meet
other people in their area who have similar debt to them and organize
collective non-cooperation and mutual aid together.
We have some outstanding issues and feature requests on the platform
that could take up to a few months to complete, depending on your
proficiency and experience with custom Node.js web applications. We
are funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation
(https://www.shuttleworthfoundation.org/fellows/astra-taylor/) and
have the ability to pay you for your time.
Please message me at karissa.mckelvey(a)gmail.com with an introduction
and a brief description of yourself and some of your previous work and
let's chat about it!
Thanks!

A humble (and age-old) request:
It is hard to read these mails on a cell phone because because posts
usually include everything in the previous digest.
Also it makes it harder to follow a thread.
Please could everyone <snip> the bits not relevant to their posts?
Grateful in advance

We're going to reschedule it - I recall that often people are out of town

Hi I'm slated to cohost five minutes of fame with Cory this Wednesday. Is it possible to move five minutes of fame to Wednesday July 14?
A lot of people are in San Jose this week & temescal street fair is this weekend. It'd be cool to table and then tell people Sunday at the fair to come to sudoroom five minutes of fame the following Wednesday !
