considering forming an LLC to collate individual investors to lend to Omni

by Jake

The idea to form an LLC which could represent a coalition of individual sub-lenders to bail out Omni Commons has been suggested by several people. This would make it possible for people to lend an amount less than the total $876K that we need (but not less than $10,000 lets say) to be a co-lender to provide a new mortgage for Omni Commons to keep the building. The LLC would be formed to represent the lenders in a way that they would be paid back (with interest) according to the portion of the loan they put in, and in case the Omni failed to pay its mortgage, the LLC would liquidate the building to pay back the lenders. Or the members of the LLC could agree on an alternate plan, and buy out anyone who didn't agree to the alternate plan. If anyone is interested in helping CREATE this legal structure please let me know. In the meantime though I still think our best bet to keep the Omni is to find a single lender willing to give us a bridge loan right now. -jake

Please look into People's Programs as they seek to take over Omni Commons (in alliance with Community Liberation Programs which was kicked out of Omni Commons)

by Lu Mar

*People's Programs submitted a proposal to take over Omni Commons with their authoritarian group as the leaders of the New Omni Commons.* People's Programs has deep connections with Community Liberation Programs (CLP), as they share very similar politics and end goals, with this specific posted written by *Rafiq Ali of CLP* on the topic of *supporting Iran against all enemies* foreign and domestic (the current Iranian state regime as the model that People's Programs and Community Liberation Programs both support): https://medium.com/@PeoplesPrograms/the-legacy-of-the-iranian-revolution- 2c7de74b3df8 (CLP article published on People's Programs site) *The leaders of People's Programs are Abbas Muntaqim and Delency Parham.* Here is some interesting background info on this group: Abbas and Delency are strongly connected to pro-Iran and pro-Russia propaganda. *Abbas Muntaqim works for PressTV, the English language arm of Iran state propaganda.* https://medium.com/@PeoplesPrograms "He is also a host and producer for Press TV." https://www.famsf.org/events/tales-of-the-town-film-screening-art-exhibit *(description mentions that Abbas Muntaqim works for PressTV, propaganda channel of the Iran dictatorship)* ----- *Abbas Muntaqim, leader of People's Programs, posts from a pro-Russia/pro-Putin perspective (Putinist Russia as allies of the Iranian dictatorship.)* *Abbas views Ukraine as a Nazi Fascist country that is attacking Russia and that Ukraine needs to be "liberated" by Russia.* *This post by Abbas puts forth the argument that** anarchists are working with neo-nazis and Al-Qaeda to attack Russia...:* https://twitter.com/Abbas_Muntaqim/status/1504853626426036226 [image: image.png] *People's Programs, in alliance with Community Liberation Programs as comrades, will quickly remove all groups at Omni Commons that do not submit to their authoritarian patriarchal leadership to bring in groups completely loyal to their Marxist/Stalinist/Maoist model of hierarchy and unquestioned subservience, also known as "Democratic" Centralism <https://www.britannica.com/money/topic/democratic-centralism> !* Lua *Please spread this on any other Omni Commons communication platforms to have a collective of collectives conversation on this important issue !*

Table to replace lab bench

by Jake Watters

Counterculture Labs is asking for one of their lab benches back. Those are the tables with the shelf above them, we have ten of them. We have to give them at least one, but we could give them two... And then get this 4x8 sturdy work table. Is anyone interested in making that happen? "This well built and solid table needs to find a new home. It is on the street on 26th between Magnolia and Adeline. This is a 4’x8’ table."

our mailing list system needs help

by Jake

our mailing list system (postorius) is having problems... we're not sure what it is but it looks like some spammer is entering random addresses into the "join this mailing list" field and then our system is trying to email a confirmation to those addresses. Anyone want to log in and take a look at it, try to figure out what's going on, and figure out a way to fix it? We might need to add a CAPTCHA or at least a checkbox or some sort of puzzle so that people can't just automatically enter email addresses in and have us email them. -jake

someone trying to remove space from sudoroom

by Jake

I don't know why Andrew is trying to remove 72 square feet of space from Sudoroom while there are plenty of rooms and spaces at Omni which would be great for storage, and are being totally unused (several areas downstairs) But I would like for our delegate to oppose selling off any of Sudoroom's space. I do think it would be great for Omni to rent space to the Oakland Tool Lending Library for $700 per month in an unused part of the building. I think there are plenty of things people have been doing to make Sudoroom nicer and more welcoming, and there's plenty more that we could be doing, and people should come in and get involved. I don't like how Andrew's words about Omni and Sudoroom sound a bit like the group that we had to remove, who wanted to "revolutionize" the space to be what they thought it should be, without input from anyone else. I do like the idea of partnering with the Tool Library in terms of workshops and skill sharing, and connecting to their broader network of people though. This also reminds me of when someone else suggested moving Sudoroom into the basement and claimed that we hadn't been paying our rent (we were actually fully paid up and paid ahead a bit at the time) -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 14:32:56 -0800 From: Andrew R Gross <arg5029(a)gmail.com> To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org, finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] Financial Report I went to a meeting of the Oakland tool library a few months ago, and they've got a somewhat inverted situation to us: they have a lot of money that they're not sure how to use. They're located out of the Piedmont branch of the Oakland public libraries, just up the street from us, and they rent a storage locker about a half mile south of Omni. I asked, and they spend about $700 a month on a locker where they store tools that they then drive by pickup truck up to the library twice a month for a tool sale. They know Omni and Sudo through Peter Mui, but not that well, but they said that they'd just as soon give us the money as the storage locker business. If we set up a storage space on the ground floor in Sudo Room, we could convert around 12 x 6 feet of floor space into $700 a month. Additionally, they're pretty well organized, but they don't have a lot of volunteers. If we partnered with them and cleaned up Sudo room, we could start running fixit workshops and tool-use classes and things, which could bring in revenue and members for Sudo Room. Overall, I think they have a much better culture of Sudo Room, and could help connect us to a broader network of people who share our mission but may not fall into the traditional demographics we're connected with. I really burned out of Sudo Room and Omni, but I'd like to come back in 2024 if I'm part of a functioning team, focused on genuinely reforming Omni, starting with Sudo Room. It's a huge space that isn't well utilized or welcoming to new members. I still believe a well-organized group of about five people could change that, and create virtuous cycle that could turn a lot of things around. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Fwd: Woodshop Proposal

by Paige P

Hi Sudo Room, A friend of mine with a small woodshop in the area is looking to move places, and is interested in joining me in making another shared makerspace in Omni, with a focus on woodworking. I don't know if the delegates will vote on the proposal this week, but if so, that will be before the Sudo Room monthly meeting. I would appreciate comments and questions about the idea now, ideally so that Sudo Room could make a vote by Thursday. I will be around today and tomorrow but welcome comments on the google doc or over email. Thanks, Paige ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Paige P <pgeplan(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Nov 27, 2023, 9:38 AM Subject: Woodshop Proposal To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Klea Bajala <kleajb(a)gmail.com> Hi, This is proposal for creating a woodshop in the Omni (as a project or tenant): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-KbFCJnFfS9wCaGCentj8Ie5fCpdBgfHeQ9Ba9V….

Raspberry Pi Meetup Tomorrow (Sunday 11/19) 11AM

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: See below: Sodoroom member Thomas Lopes also runs the Raspberry Pi interest group of the Berkeley Linux Users Group, he'll be holding their meeting from 11am-2pm at Sudoroom, it'd be great to have a bunch of veteran Sudoers present to hang out, help him host and welcome newcomers. Thomas also knows how to flash the locked Dell Chromebooks so if you wanted to unlock some more Chromebooks tomorrow would be a good day as he's around. (We could use some more to hand out as general purpose laptops.) Cheers, -Peter --------- Forwarded message --------- From: tom r lopes <Unknown> Date: Friday, November 17, 2023 at 9:17:40 AM UTC-8 Subject: Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Next meeting this Sunday 19.11.2023 To: BerkeleyLUG <Unknown> Now with Pi 5! I still have one Pi 5 8gb from the launch event last month and a 4gb that I pre ordered from the announcement. The launch event went pretty well. People were interested in how the 5 would work in their projects. And one 8gb Pi 5 was given out (and a couple of 4s). Sorry no giveaways this time. So at SudoRoom in Sunday November 19 from 11 am to 2pm. There is a buzzer at the door or call or txt me at 510-984-2455 for access. I'll be 3d printing some parts and looking at Sudo's little metal lathe. Alan had been checking out the lathe and we have gotten some parts but there is still some things to check. Hope to see you there. Thomas

omni statement of solidarity with palestine

by Paige P

Hey Sudo Room, what do you think about this statement that was posted to consensus? The last two paragraphs were taken out by another editor but I prefer them left in. Solidarity for Palestinian Liberation We at Omni Commons demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, an end to the murder and genocide of Gazans, and all forms of apartheid, occupation and ethnic or religious supremacy. We demand full human rights for all people, including the right of return for Palestinians. Israel allows Jews from anywhere in the world to move there, and become full citizens. They give free plane rides and ten-day tours to young Jews age 18-25, full of Zionist propaganda. This trip is called “Birthright Israel” - it preys on ignorant and vulnerable Jewish youth by recruiting them for Israel’s settler colonial project. Young people who fall for this recruitment are then drafted into Israel’s occupation army. Even as war rages, Birthright is shamelessly continuing with all their Winter trips. Meanwhile, Palestinians’ freedom of movement has been restricted since the 1948 war, when Zionist terrorism drove hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. Many of these families, now millions of people, still live in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank. The largest is Gaza, with almost 2 million refugees. Some elders still carry the keys to houses they left 75 years ago. If Israel was willing to recognize THEIR birthright, we’d have had peace 30 years ago. Time and again, Israel walked away from peace talks over this very issue. Instead, many Palestinians' property was simply given to Jewish immigrants, with no consent or compensation. This is stolen land. Jews have always been the minority in Palestine. It was true in 1923, it’s true in 2023. Israel maintains the illusion of a Jewish “majority” only by brutal suppression of Palestinian human rights. This is Zionism! All human rights should be respected, including Jews, but no government built on minority rule has any right to exist. We do not welcome Zionism at the Omni Commons. We are critical of anybody who accepted Birthright trips to apartheid Israel in their youth, including among our own organizers - but we also recognize that people can learn, grow and change. Peace and justice require us to forgive people for their mistakes. We acknowledge that a stand for Palestine has to be a stand against imperialism as a whole. Biden is sending billions of dollars to fund Israeli settler colonial projects to massacre the Palestinians while millions of us struggle to survive here on the streets. We believe in abolition. The abolition of open air prisons, caging indigenous Palestinians genocide. The abolition of the Zionist state. The abolition of US imperialism and greed for profit. Liberation must be fought for. We must fight to make each other free.

Learning programming and Spanish

by Romy Ilano

There's an entire slack channel on Women Who Code of women from Latin America learning English through programming chats. I'm learning Spanish (Argentinian but Mexico is cool too) I mentioned this for Women & NonBinary nights... but would it be cool to suggest for SudoRoom in general? I am travelling to Buenos Aires at the end of the month and won't be able to be in a lot of the mondays and Tuesdays in November. I think this would be a cool initiative though - help SudoRoom's wings spread! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

sparcstation progress

by Jake

last night I played with the Sparcstation 5 that Phil got working, and tried to get it on The Internet it's plugged into ethernet, and i wanted to get it an IP address and all that...but first i had to figure out why it didn't have a MAC address. Its ethernet port is "le0" (in linux we're used to eth0) and something online said do this: # ifconfig le0 plumb but then its MAC address was 0:0:0:0:0:0 which was not gonna work. Trying to set it from ifconfig like this didn't work: # ifconfig le0 hw ether 1:2:3:4:5:6 bad address so I had to reboot and type a bunch of stuff into the "ok" prompt it boots up to, like it says here https://gist.github.com/amdprophet/e010803d581d676003a90ba36da8a269 after a reboot it started saying the MAC address I entered upon boot (before the "ok" prompt) and actually it was trying to network boot, or access something on the network - i had to press STOP and A to interrupt that, and get the "ok" prompt, where i typed "boot disk" to boot up from disk. Then I set the IP address and gateway route manually and was able to ping and telnet sites by IP address, on the internet!!!! but DNS didn't work. I put this in /etc/resolv.conf: domain jackpumpkin nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 and then nslookup worked! But other commands line ping and telnet and the web browser still couldn't resolve DNS names. I went home, but Marc says: what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say? You might have to do: cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf if the .conf does not exist Apparently this OS ships with a bunch of example config files with different extensions instead of .conf, and you copy the one you want to .conf and then edit to your liking. That's probably how we should set up the networking, rather than typing ifconfig commands each time. also don't forget to run "bash" in the terminal so you're not stuck in an annoying minimalist shell here's the wiki page i made - if you don't have an account, request one! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sparcstation#sparcstation_5 -jake

[omni-consensus] Urgent - Hellman Grant Reallocation Issue for Consensus - Part 1: $ for Gen Ops (fwd)

by Jake

I mentioned in the sudoroom meeting last night that Omni is basically out of money - we had a huge drop in events bookings because of the boycott (and our non-response to it) and that was about 50% of our income. We also lost a couple of tenants and have made zero progress getting new tenants. (For context, TANC and their fellow printshop collective proposed joining us in June, and if CLP had not blocked them we would have had another two tenants with $1300/mo more income per month. CLP never paid us anything) Did you know that Omni has a bunch of rooms available for rent? I think the groups are preferred to be nonprofit (we can offer 501(c)3 umbrella financial sponsorship!) but we'll take what we can get. The sooner we get rooms filled - not only will it be money we can pay bills with, but also it will look better on paper as we're trying to find a new lender, as our present mortgage holder's agreement ends in DECEMBER and they can foreclose on us if we don't have a new lender (or $900K) -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2023 16:43:12 -0700 From: Sarah Lockhart <sarah.ee.el(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Urgent - Hellman Grant Reallocation Issue for Consensus - Part 1: $ for Gen Ops Hi there -- as I've mentioned in quite a few communications recently, Omni is in dire need of funds for general operating expenses: mortgage, utilities, insurance. I am humbly proposing that Omni re-allocate $7000 of grant money so that Omni can pay its bills this month. See spreadsheet for details <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15qDtnI8P8d3kcuOb_4ZCqNZTVelKTl7I9yd…> *The Version That Takes Up More Space* Omni is currently sitting on about $35k of grant money restricted for "Capacity Building". This money is in the Unify CU Savings Account. I am hoping that Omni can decide to allocate more of the grant to reimburse the general ops account for expenses that weren't paid out of the grant money, but would still be considered Capacity Building expenses. If Omni were to do the legwork and liquidate the savings accounts at other banks (Self Help CU and Beneficial) -- that would free up about $6000. However, Omni is also looking at having to pay approximately $20k in property taxes in December. I would advise holding these other funds that are in other banks at least until then. Here is the spreadsheet showing the current state of grant funds and allocations <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15qDtnI8P8d3kcuOb_4ZCqNZTVelKTl7I9yd…>, which has a column for what has already been paid out, and another column for what contractors have billed Omni for but have not been paid yet. This should be considered as "spent" in my humble opinion. The spreadsheet also includes a bit at the bottom showing the detailed expenses the grant could be "re-allocated to cover" - which would thus mean putting more money into the general ops account to be used to pay general operating expenses. When the $50k grant was received, it was understood (by Omni and the funder) that some of the expenses the grant would cover had already been paid out of general funds. When Omni approved the grant budget this summer, there were a number of expenses that grant money was allocated to which had already been paid. Thus the money was "returned to the general fund" to "reimburse" the general ops account. Respectfully submitted, Sarah L

Hi: Just a friendly reminder of tomorrow’s informal Fixit Clinic at the new South San Francisco Library grand opening: this looks like it’s going to be a really fun event so bring your friends and family e.g. see the two bands playing: https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati… WHAT: New South San Francisco Library Grand Opening WHEN: Saturday Oct 28 anytime between 11:30AM and 3PM WHERE: 901 Civic Campus Way, South San Francisco https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati… We hope to have regular repair programming at this Library soon but Saturday is more of a festive demonstration day and housewarming for the Library’s beautiful new Makerspace. There’s no need to commit to the whole day: just stop by when you can to enjoy the festivities, hang out with other Fixit Coaches, check out the new Library and help Makerspace Librarians Devin, Miriam Hart and Monte Gordon recruit more local Fixit Coaches. You don’t need to bring any tools – they’ve got some tools and sewing machines already – but feel free to bring something you want to take apart or sew as a demonstration. We might end up doing a few repairs if local people go home and bring things back. (And bonus points for wearing a Halloween costume (wink.)) The new Library is a pleasant 3/4 mile walk (or bike) along the Colma Creek Centennial Way Trail from the South San Francisco BART if you want to take public transit. See other options here: https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati… Hope to see you there! -Peter Peter Mui @ Fixit Clinic www.fixitclinic.org – Fortifying exuberant, resilient communities through do-it-together fix-n-learn disassembly and discovery +1 408 647 5790 fixitclinic(a)gmail.com P.S.: And don’t forget our Fixit Clinic next Saturday at Pescadero Elementary School: sign up to Fixit Coach at http://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup WHAT: Fixit Clinic MVI (1006) Pescadero Elementary School WHEN: Saturday, Nov 4, 11AM-2PM WHERE: Pescadero Elementary School 620 North Street Pescadero, CA 94060 https://www.facebook.com/events/997718654780160/

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

by Jake

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

Is Scuttlebutt still cool?

A few years ago I used SSB and Manyverse to chat with cool people interested in new ways of looking at how humans communicate. All my social links (it’s a “social network”, you can’t use it if you don’t know anyone on it) have gone stale and I’m no longer on the network. If anyone here is active, I’d like to reconnect

Fwd: can someone update Google Chrome on a Linux box?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: See below: can someone help Diana as below with her Linux box? Feel free to email her directly. If I invite her to come to sudoroom Tuesday night: will you be there? (I think she lives near SF Chinatown.) Many thanks for any reply, -Peter -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: can someone update Google Chrome on a Linux box? Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2023 23:46:43 +0000 From: Diana Greer <Diana.Greer(a)protonmail.com> To: Fixit Clinic <fixitclinic(a)gmail.com> can someone update Google Chrome on a Linux box? Hello FixIt Clinic Community, It seems simple but when I do the steps (listed below) nothing happens. Aside from the constant notification that Google Chrome needs updating, the pc continues to work fine. I will bring the pc to you. I am not very interested in doing this remotely but you can try to convince me if you want to - I am open to change my mind. update Google Chrome on Ubuntu 20.04 when the installation is done through the .deb file: 1. Open Software Updater. Select and install the available Google Chrome update. 2. Through Terminal. Type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install google-chrome-stable. Warmly, Diana Greer

Omni collective statement re: CLP boycott

by Paige P

Hi Sudo Room, This is a collective statement addressing the CLP boycott, written today after discussion in this last Thursday delegates meeting. If you are interested in reading the many previous drafts over the last few weeks, I can point you where those are, and encourage you to join the omni consensus email where there is more discussion. We hope to make this public Tuesday morning (we've talked about sending it to people who rent Omni, but also may be put on the website? I'm not sure). Dear neighbors, We've been accused of racism - sadly, this has some merit. For nine years omni has tried to include, support and empower communities of color - and often failed. This has led to continued white dominance. We want nothing more than to end this feedback loop, repair this harm, and be a project where all people can take collective ownership of this building and its resources. We are actively seeking accountability processes with those who've been directly harmed at omni. Nonetheless, there are still QTBIPOC and mutual aid groups doing important work at omni, as there always have been. This is the core of what we want omni to be, and the movement to improve omni should be led by people who’ve been doing it all along. We urge the community to stand behind our most vulnerable members. We are determined for this to be a safe space, so that QTBIPOC-centered projects can grow and thrive here. We're also accused of zionism - this we strongly deny. Try to find anybody here to say anything nice about Israel - you'll have a hard time. While some of us may have been complicit with apartheid in the past - because its institutions prey on young Jews especially - all our feelings today range from deeply critical to abolitionist. We want to embrace and center Palestinian community, and welcome accountability to that end. We're now collectively studying the steps to formally comply with BDS and become an "apartheid free zone". Some of these accusations were made by a former member collective. We removed them because their behaviors were causing great harm, actively driving away members of color. Their public "boycott" was a campaign of retaliation, harassment, doxxing and lies. Even so, it has brought attention to our very real mistakes. We wish to focus on those, and center the majority of our community's concerns - without engaging directly with this former group, because the harm is just too fresh. We've taken this opportunity to give long time volunteers a break. Almost all our groups have new delegates. None of the people mentioned in the call outs have any formal power, and all of them are stepping back from decision making roles, to focus on passing institutional memory to new people. Meanwhile, we have a few vacant rooms - we'd love to share ownership with more queer, trans, Black and indigenous led groups! Please contact us if you'd like to help build an anti racist, anti zionist future at Omni Commons.

Hi sudoers: Tom Lopes received two of the new Raspberry Pi 5's from the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the U.K. and will be having a special session tomorrow (Saturday) noon-3 to benchmark and play with them. This has been advertised widely and is attracting new people to sudorooom/Omni Commons; it'd be great to have a bunch of veteran sudoers present to help him host and welcome newcomers. https://www.meetup.com/berkeley-hardware-startup-meetup/events/296731371/ https://www.meetup.com/sfmakers/events/296731291/ https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/296764791/ Sincerely, -Peter P.S.

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Delegate Application: Sketchboard Co.

by Paige P

This member collective wants to join omni. I have worked a bit with Natalie and trust them and Sketchboard is a great event ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Natalie G. <admin(a)sketchboardco.art> Date: Fri, Sep 22, 2023 at 3:06 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Delegate Application: Sketchboard Co. To: <consensus(a)omnicommons.org>, <discuss(a)omnicommons.org> Hello! - *What do you do that makes a difference in the world?* At Sketchboard, our mission is to actively resist cultural homogenization in San Francisco during times of economic uncertainty by fostering an anticapitalist, intergenerational, and accessible artistic community. We strive to create a space where diverse voices, perspectives, and artistic expressions flourish, challenging the dominant narratives and structures that threaten the vitality and diversity of our city. We believe that during a recession, cultural preservation becomes even more crucial as economic pressures often prioritize profit-driven ventures that erode the unique fabric of San Francisco. Through our initiatives, we aim to combat the forces of gentrification and commercialization that contribute to cultural homogeneity. We are dedicated to promoting an anticapitalist ethos, rejecting the commodification of art and artists. By prioritizing artistic integrity over financial gain, we foster an environment where creativity and personal expression are valued above market demands. Our goal is to provide artists with a platform to freely explore their artistic visions without compromising their artistic integrity or conforming to mainstream expectations. Intergenerational collaboration lies at the heart of our community. We believe in the power of bridging generational gaps and fostering meaningful connections between emerging artists, seasoned practitioners, and established figures. By encouraging dialogue, mentorship, and knowledge sharing across age groups, we foster a rich tapestry of artistic experiences and perspectives, ensuring the preservation of traditional practices while embracing innovative approaches. Accessibility is a cornerstone of our organization. We are committed to breaking down barriers that prevent marginalized communities from accessing and participating in the arts. By creating inclusive spaces, providing affordable or free opportunities, and actively seeking out diverse voices, we ensure that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or ability, can engage with and contribute to our community. Through these core principles of anticapitalism, intergenerational collaboration, and accessibility, Sketchboard serves as a beacon of hope and resistance against cultural homogenization. We strive to be a catalyst for change, fostering a vibrant and diverse artistic landscape that celebrates the unique identity and cultural heritage of San Francisco. - *Briefly recap your history as an organization.* Started in 2013 between 2 femme identifying individuals, and later, the baton was passed onto Natalie and Alida. 2023 is the first year with more than 2 organizers on the team. - *How do you make decisions? How many people are involved?* We make decisions democratically, between 3 organizers: Natalie, Alida, and Ben. - *Please include links to any organizing documents you may have: bylaws, mission statement, etc.* Our mission statement: Sketchboard serves as a creative act of resistance against cultural homogenization. Born from a shared, community-driven interest in creating art with both friends and strangers, creating community and supporting the artistic culture of San Francisco, Sketchboard is the only known workshop series in the Bay Area reflecting the full vibrancy of San Francisco, featuring the bodies of people existing at the intersection of multiple identities, including those who are BIPOC, Queer, Trans, Intersex, and Disabled. Celebrating diversity and offering living-wage rates, Sketchboard seeks to honor, uplift, and increase visibility for people from traditionally marginalized communities. (currently working on bylaws as we transition to a 501c3/c7) - *State your goals for becoming an Omni member collective. How would your presence in the Omni contribute to its purpose and Statement of Solidarity?* Our goals as an Omni member collective is to spearhead more visual arts workshops and classes within the space, and join BOGGS to ensure diversity within Omni. Our presence contributes to the purpose and statement of Omni, as we center the perspectives and experiences of poor, BIPOC, women, and transgender individuals - who have been marginalized from capitalism's chokehold. - *What dedicated space do you need? What will you do in it? (For example: office, work space, etc)* We would just need space to store our art supplies, which would include 1-2 portable platforms for our models, which would be made and manageable on wheels. It would be used once a month (said DIY platform). And to have a plastic storage full of our art supplies, which wouldn't be any bigger than a 20 quart flat bin. Possibly some horse chairs included, no more than 4. - *What shared space do you need? What will you do with it?* N/A - *Will you need to modify the building? (Include floor plans if that makes your proposal clearer.)* N/A - *How much are you able to pay?* From our conversation with Silver, we are able to pay $465 for weekly use of the disco room, and monthly use of the ballroom. We would use the space every First Sundays from 2-5pm, and Second to Last Thursdays of every month, between 630-830pm. Each event requires 30 minutes of set up before and clean up after. - *(Budget, balance sheet, P & L), size, incorporation status, space needs, and reach an agreement with you about your financial contribution and legal relationship to Omni Commons. * Our incorporation status is currently an LLC, S-Corp, with Natalie Gvidia as the sole owner. We are willing to be fiscally sponsored by Omni, as it would help us reach our goal to become a nonprofit within the next 2 years. Willing to discuss further about the legal relationship to Omni and Sketchboard. - *If you need to make modifications to the building, Finance may ask you to get preliminary inspections, consult with the Building Working Group, or provide other information to determine if the changes are possible and advisable.* N/A Looking forward to the next delegation meeting and securing ourselves with y'all. *Warmly*; Sketchboard Co. @sketchboard.co | www.sketchboardco.art _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss

volunteer to be delegate this week?

by Paige P

Hi, it seems like the omni president title I took continues to be mistaken for a point of power in decision making. Also this is a lot to take on right now for me, and ideally we would be rotating delegates. Could someone else volunteer as the SR delegate next meeting? I can help as best I can and by getting input from other members on how we should vote. I also plan to attend the meeting. The meeting will be on Thursday, in person with a remote option, at 7PM. Thanks, Paige

proposal: regular wednesday meetings/organizing social

by Paige P

I have a proposal to make meetings weekly at Sudo Room (rather than 1x a month). My idea is 2 of these are structured with agendas, votes, and notes (maybe the first and third Wednesdays, so we have time to review proposals that will be voted on in delegates meeting), and other ones would be informal, but at least focused on some cooperative project (i.e. building out/fixing up work stations, working on wiki documentation, laptop program work, or doing some outreach). Hopefully we could pool together some food for these too for community building. Context: Last night there was discussion about ways Omni isn't working right now. One of the complaints that resonated with me is that delegates aren't really acting like delegates right now (in the horizontal organizing/anarchist sense), and do have power. Yea by some it was getting framed that they are power hungry white supremacists who won't step down, but my perspective is that they reluctantly have power because there is not an engaged membership that they can represent - they have to do a lot of the decision making work on their own (not good). At the least, I think that's true of sudo room right now, and I hope this Wednesday idea could help foster community and consensus building efforts. Yes I know some of this happens Tuesday and Mondays night, but for the most part those are focused on personal project hacking (which is well and good, just different). Paige

10Gbe network cards

by tom r lopes

A couple Hardware Hack nights ago I brought a dual 10Gbe card (10Gb over copper) Hp 561FLR-T It has what looks like an offset pcie connector. Jake thought it wasn't real pcie and he was right. Plug it in and nothing. lspci shows nothing. The connector is actually "Flexible-LOM" But someone has reverse engineered it and designed an adapter: https://github.com/TobleMiner/HPE-FlexibleLOM-adapter I got an adapter on Ebay which was probably copied from that github. And it works. Getting 8Gb up and down on Sonic Fiber. These cards are scavenged from old HP servers and you can get them cheap. Like $20 for 2. But I found a regular pcie card: Supermicro AOC-STG-i2T which can be found for about $25 and doesn't need an adapter. Thomas

Fwd: Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Meeting this Sunday 15.10.2023 Now with Pi 5!!

by tom r lopes

So the new Raspberry Pi (5) computer as been announced and will be available to order soon. I applied to the Raspberry Pi Foundation to host a community demo event and was accepted. I have just received 2 Pi 5 8GB kits. So I am hoping to have the event on Saturday the 21st from noon to 3 at Sudoroom. I don't see anything on the calendar that conflicts Also I have been doing a low key "Pi meeting" on third Sundays of the month. This group is an offshoot of the Berkeley Linux Users Group. It's been just me and one or two others and more of "Hardware Hack - day edition" then Raspberry pi. Next one is this Sunday and all are welcome. Check out the new Pi 5 or just stop by. Below see the BerkeleyLUG announcement with details Thomas ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: tom r lopes <tomrlopes(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 2:06 AM Subject: Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Meeting this Sunday 15.10.2023 Now with Pi 5!! To: BerkeleyLUG <berkeleylug(a)googlegroups.com> Yes now we have a couple sets of the new Raspberry Pi 5 courtesy of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AYSi99pVMXtsf42y7 Meeting this Sunday the 15th from 11 am to 2pm or so In person at Sudoroom 4799 Shattuck, Oakland, CA 94609 Virtually at meet.jit.si/Pi.BerkeleyLUG My agenda will be working up a demo or presentation of the Pi 5 I want to create a Pi 5 demo event for the next week. I'm thinking Saturday the 21st from noon til 3pm (so as not to conflict with the Berkeley LUG meeting on Oct 22) My thoughts: Run the 5 and the 4 side by side comparing (I have a pi 4 but I don't think 8GB) Demo 2 cameras (the connector uses the small fpc like the one on the Zero) Demo the USB3 -- maybe run a couple external ssds Explore the pcie connector?! How? Connector is .5mm 16 pin FPC. I would have to solder such a cable to a pcie riser. I may have an M.2 extender so that could get an nvme drive on the Pi? Anyways the Saturday event would be put out on the Sudoroom announce and probably Meetup via Peter Mui. Thomas

omni commons in-person meeting with the public tonight at 7PM

by Jake

As you may have heard, CLP was not happy with being ejected from the Omni Commons by the rest of the delegates on 9/28 after it became clear that their goals were in opposition to Omni's mission and continued survival. CLP (primarily Rafiq) have been waging a smear campaign/boycott on instagram and by other public messaging, and so Omni has called a public meeting at 7PM tonight (thursday) at Omni. In person. If you care about Omni, and defending us against this boycott campaign and people who will be showing up to discuss it (and ask questions) you should show up. Instagram post @omni.commons: "We will host an in-person meeting Thursday 7-9pm at Omni, 4799 Shattuck. All neighbors and community members are encouraged to join. We will not hold an online meeting. Please disregard the google meet link. We're sorry for the short notice" https://www.instagram.com/p/CyPp7OMOaMW/ -jake
