Sudo Room trash/recycling/compost

by Dane

I just took out the trash/recycling/compost out of the Sudo Room. It smelled really bad and there were too many flies, either food waste or someone took a dump in the trash. I wiped down Sudo Room tables to make the room hopefully smell better. *Omni Commons trash/recycling/compost <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Trash>is taken out every Monday & Thursday evening/night and picked up early Tuesday & Friday mornings. * *If we can collectively follow this schedule, it will help out both Sudo Room & Omni Commons overall.* The annoying thing is that after taking out all the waste and trying to make things cleaner & smell better, a* non-Sudo Room member *brought in their own rotten trash & waste from *outside* Sudo Room into Sudo Room trash for us to deal with overall. Unfortunately, this is an ongoing issue though from this one person. https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Trash (useful info with some outdated stuff) Dane

Hello, Yar forwarded a message from Romy Ilano about discussing the November 5 rollerskating event. I'm the point person for that event, so I'm happy to discuss it.

Omni Collectives Engagement with Fundraising!

by Natasha Zahn

Hello Omni Collectives & Community! Our gofundme campaign has raised $25,888 from 290 donors. The fundraising working group is reaching out to each collective for a little support! We want to boost the campaign while boosting each collective within the Omni. We are asking each collective to offer a special incentive. Something that feeds the curious donor collective wisdom and appreciation. Ideas on collective incentive can be workshops, new or reoccurring. Example : Counter Culture Lab offers LAB 101 to donors who pledge $25 to our gofundme. Collective incentives can also be merch or vendor items. Or even discount codes. Example : Acta Non Verba offers 50% off fruit CSA beetbox to donors who pledge $19.99 to our gofundme. We want the items to be very unique to your collective. For folks who are curious about Omnis collective of collectives. This participation will support the fundraising working group and the collective as a whole! Let me know if this is something your collective can participate in. We hope everyone can get involved! We hope to receive collective incentives by 10/27/22. We can support outreach and boost your collective with graphic designs showcasing your collective offerings! Abundance & Resilience, Silver

Re: [omni-consensus] Repayment of $7500 loan from Safer DIY - due November 1st

by Jake

speaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etspeaking for myself, I feel that it would be wrong for us to delay paying this amount even though we would like to have more money in order to be in a better position to get a loan, etc. It's just not our money. It belongs to Safer DIY and we've been holding onto it. It's not much different from if we were to go out and steal it out of their account because we happened to have access to it, in my opinion. So as an individual, i'm in favor of paying it immediately. I'll put this question on the Sudoroom meeting agenda so that I can get a proper representative position from Sudoroom. If the above argument is not enough to convince whoever is reading this, I'd like to point out that Omni wouldn't exist right now if it weren't for the significant contributions of Sarah and David, well above and beyond what this actual loan pays for. Considering we have a fire inspection coming up, we really would be better off if we had a better relationship with them and were able to ask for help with it. -jake On Tue, 4 Oct 2022, Yardena Cohen wrote: > Sarah, we really appreciate DIY's help and good faith here.

[omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal

by Jake Watters

Hi Sudoroom, THIS IS IMPORTANT! The following proposal was brought to the delegate's meeting a couple of weeks ago, and tonight in the meeting it was discussed. Since I had not been attending delegates meetings for some time, I failed to forward this proposal to this list so that sudoroom could discuss our position on it. Since I am a Sudoroom member, I voiced my position through our delegate (which is me) that I am against giving a committee the power to levy fines against omni collectives/tenants/people, especially since we have not tried a process of simple communication between a cleaning collective and representatives of collectives. Ultimately the other Omni delegates felt strongly about passing the proposal, but they were willing to remove the provision giving the new Committee the ability to "impose a monetary penalty" on groups or individuals they determined were guilty of being messy. The proposal was partially passed as seen here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/09/15_Delegates#cleanliness yar: if we approve the proposal but delay the fine enforcement until after our october 6 meeting, and require another affirmative consensus decision on october 6 to give them that fine enforcement power? jake: is ok with that CONSENSUS: YES (CCL/Patrik ANV/Silver SUDOROOM/Jake FNB/Helen CLP/Billy MOP/Jacqi) ABSTAIN: (SUDOMESH/Camber) BLOCK: (none), PASSES! I personally think it's unreasonable to trust a newly formed Committee with the power to, for example, determine that Sudoroom is too messy and issue "fines" of $50 per day until they feel that we have satisfied their standard, and I'm glad that the other delegates were willing to remove this provision even though they were technically capable of overriding sudoroom's objections. This provision is set to be reintroduced at the Delegate's meeting on OCTOBER 6TH and Sudoroom needs to discuss our position, in order for our delegate to represent us at that meeting. Please see the link below for the proposed text of the new Committee (same link is in the meeting notes above) and discuss the provision that's slated for October 6th Delegate's meeting. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2022 06:08:55 +0000 From: deskhandle <deskhandle(a)protonmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/GcTDiTZqA3ao5+6hbaAuobdc/ At the delegate's meeting tonight, we discussed a proposal formulated by the Events team which is linked above. This is a draft proposal and instructions for how to suggest edits are on top of the doc. Please do not edit the content directly. In short, it exists to create a new committee which will oversee the cleanliness of the space, design and implement new systems to do so, including a monetary penalty for any space left out of order for both shared spaces and tenant spaces. If you're able to be an active and dedicated participant in that committee, please join us on Slack. This committee would also be able to spend some amount of Omni funds to clean the space regularly and keep it at a level of cleanliness that must be maintained for Omni to exist. Please check this out and get back with any thoughts, concerns, suggestions before it's voted on at the next delegate's meeting. Billy Community Liberation Programs

cleanup operations in progress

by Jake

last night (wednesday night) Kent and Eric and I worked for hours to clean up and organize the space, and we cleared up the whole floor area in the southeast corner near the telescreen. Kent fixed a nice power supply and cleaned up the whole workbench that has the microscopes on it, and we'll be adding more carwardine (anglepoise) lamps there. we organized the sterilite bins on the shelves and after another round of that, it will be time to decorate them with rainbow colors; I ordered $50 worth of 10 colors of 1" wide masking tape, and when we're done the wall will basically be a rainbow of bins. If anything is out of place it will be pretty obvious. we decided that the metal sliding chair assembly under the desk in the southwest corner is just huge and taking up space, and should be scrapped. If wants it please take it home, otherwise we'll get rid of it soon. the next area to be cleaned up will be the "balcony" at the top of the stairs, there's a lot of stuff there that needs to get put away and organized and ewasted and i'll work on that with others, and then we can add lighting and tables and outlets there and make it a nice place to hang out. When the cold weather season comes, it will be nice for people to have a place to hang out where the temperature is naturally higher. anyway things are happening and the space is getting nicer. Eventually we'll have everything off the floor and we'll be able to run a roomba full time keeping the dust off, and Yar can finally epoxy the whole floor. let me know if you want to help! Or just jump in and make things better. -jake

Re: [omni-consensus] [omni-events] Fw: Oakland Defense Shield Storage (fwd)

by Jake

At the next delegates' meeting we will discuss renting storage to a group for a bunch of riot shields. Hopefully this means we can get a bit more money coming in to Omni each month and put some space to use that's presently just full of clutter.

selling unneeded test equipment from sudoroom

by Jake

I posted a bunch of our test equipment that we never use and never will use, on craigslist for sale to benefit sudoroom. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/d/oakland-hewlett-packard-tektronix-la… of course sudoroom members get first dibs but these things are only taking up space and are still just barely valuable enough to be able to sell rather than sadly simply scrap them. they were once many thousands of dollars worth, but today most can be replaced with a simple USB stick. There is no functionality lost in our hackerspace by eliminating this equipment, we already have more modern hardware that works. -jake

lucrative offering to sudoroom

by Jake

the other night someone introduced by Joule (sudoroom member) offered to give Sudoroom $2000 per month if we provide space for their vacuum chamber and related equipment. We gave them our bank routing/account numbers and if the money appears, we should make the space near the robot control cabinet available so it can be set up. We will be able to use the equipment ourselves when they're not using it. This is a great opportunity to access money that would otherwise go to waste, and we can increase our monthy contribution to Omni while this is happening, which will help us keep the building. -jake

Hi Glen, the 3D printer i pointed out to you is a TAZ 4 which was donated last year.

[omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal (fwd)

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom, THIS IS IMPORTANT! The following proposal was brought to the delegate's meeting a couple of weeks ago, and tonight in the meeting it was discussed. Since I had not been attending delegates meetings for some time, I failed to forward this proposal to this list so that sudoroom could discuss our position on it. Since I am a Sudoroom member, I voiced my position through our delegate (which is me) that I am against giving a committee the power to levy fines against omni collectives/tenants/people, especially since we have not tried a process of simple communication between a cleaning collective and representatives of collectives. Ultimately the other Omni delegates felt strongly about passing the proposal, but they were willing to remove the provision giving the new Committee the ability to "impose a monetary penalty" on groups or individuals they determined were guilty of being messy. The proposal was partially passed as seen here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/09/15_Delegates#cleanliness yar: if we approve the proposal but delay the fine enforcement until after our october 6 meeting, and require another affirmative consensus decision on october 6 to give them that fine enforcement power? jake: is ok with that CONSENSUS: YES (CCL/Patrik ANV/Silver SUDOROOM/Jake FNB/Helen CLP/Billy MOP/Jacqi) ABSTAIN: (SUDOMESH/Camber) BLOCK: (none), PASSES! I personally think it's unreasonable to trust a newly formed Committee with the power to, for example, determine that Sudoroom is too messy and issue "fines" of $50 per day until they feel that we have satisfied their standard, and I'm glad that the other delegates were willing to remove this provision even though they were technically capable of overriding sudoroom's objections. This provision is set to be reintroduced at the Delegate's meeting on OCTOBER 6TH and Sudoroom needs to discuss our position, in order for our delegate to represent us at that meeting. Please see the link below for the proposed text of the new Committee (same link is in the meeting notes above) and discuss the provision that's slated for October 6th Delegate's meeting. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2022 06:08:55 +0000 From: deskhandle <deskhandle(a)protonmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Cleanliness Accountability Committee proposal https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/GcTDiTZqA3ao5+6hbaAuobdc/ At the delegate's meeting tonight, we discussed a proposal formulated by the Events team which is linked above. This is a draft proposal and instructions for how to suggest edits are on top of the doc. Please do not edit the content directly. In short, it exists to create a new committee which will oversee the cleanliness of the space, design and implement new systems to do so, including a monetary penalty for any space left out of order for both shared spaces and tenant spaces. If you're able to be an active and dedicated participant in that committee, please join us on Slack. This committee would also be able to spend some amount of Omni funds to clean the space regularly and keep it at a level of cleanliness that must be maintained for Omni to exist. Please check this out and get back with any thoughts, concerns, suggestions before it's voted on at the next delegate's meeting. Billy Community Liberation Programs

Does anyone have an OBD reader? Or an airbrush gun?

by Andrew R Gross

These two projects aren’t related. But I want to check a check engine light and paint a figurine. Does Sudo room have a compressor? I thought about getting an airbrush. They’re not expensive. But I don’t want to deal with getting a compressor for my house when I won’t use it that much. -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Re: Does anyone have an OBD reader? Or an airbrush gun?

I have an OBD reader in my car. If you¹re there on Tues nights, we can check the codes. Or as Jake said, you can also pick one up pretty cheap. What type of paint will you want to spray through an airbrush? I¹ve used a compressed cylinder of CO2 as it¹s quiet and provides a dry gas source for an airbrush. -Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 --

It's downloadable as a usdz I was just in NYC and inspired by all the cool light projection art I saw everywhere in the city. It was great!

Does anyone have an extra Raspberry Pi?

by Andrew R Gross

I'm building a video intercom to let people at Omni's front door ring whatever collective they want. It's just a screen with four buttons underneath for scrolling and selecting, and if they select Sudo Room it'll initiate a video connection with the internal video conference system. I can set it up to send a message on Slack to a designated channel or an email, or some other notification if other collectives want. The problem is that I'm using a personal Raspberry Pi that I use regularly as a 3D printer server. My intention was to use this one during development and order a dedicated one, but I really didn't appreciate how scarce Raspberry Pis are. Does anyone have one? If I had a preference, my first choice would be a Raspberry pi 3 A. But I think I could make do with whatever someone might have available. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

unneeded flourescent light bulbs at sudoroom

by Jake

there are two boxes of F32T8 flourescent light bulbs consisting of over 50 bulbs. I'm guessing someone brought them here thinking they would be useful but I don't see how that would be the case, so hopefully whoever brought them can take them away, unless they think sudoroom needs them for some reason and they will supply the light fixtures for them -jake

Membership $ to sudoroom via omni

by Juliana A

Hey so I did what I was instructed to some months ago, I donated to Omni commons because my employer can match donations and that's only possible to Omni commons because they are an an official non-profit. I sent an email to finance(a)omnicommons.org and say "I want this to go towards sudoroom", but I haven't received any answer, can anyone confirm if that worked? That's for August and September. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com

Help! My computer is autoscrolling right (and other strange phenomena) and I don't know why!

by Andrew R Gross

I have a fun riddle (it's actually a computer problem please help). As of this evening, I think my toddler did something to my computer, and now I'm experiencing the following: - All windows that have a left-right scroll bar scroll to the right continuously whenever the mouse is over the field (even if another window is active) - This usually only occurs if the mouse is stationary. If it’s moving at all, it doesn’t happen. - The effect occurs in Google Spreadsheets in Firefox and Chrome, in a file browser and Libre Office Spreadsheet. - The effect occurs regardless of mouse motion in Firefox. - If I hover over the tabs in firefox it shifts over to the next tab to the right until it gets to the right-most place - The effect doesn’t occur if the mouse is moving - It doesn’t occur in Firefox - It moves at about 2-3 tabs per second - If I press “ctrl” in Firefox the browser zooms out. - The effect doesn’t occur in Chrome - I can’t drag windows. The cursor turns into a hand, but then turns back into a cursor within a fraction of a second. Sometimes I can move the page in little steps before it happens. - I can’t resize windows. The cursor changes into a drag emblem, and it doesn’t change back, but moving the page does nothing. - I can still drag objects on the desktop. - I can still click and drag to highlight things. The effect appears specific to window manipulation - If I hover over a dropdown in the Linux settings settings menus, it scrolls. I tried switching mouses and keyboards, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. I think it's some kind of weird mobility or accessibility feature, or maybe two interacting in a weird way. I'm using Linux Mint. Can anyone figure out what the hell is going on and how to fix it? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Locking and unlocking door to CCL and Sudo

by Edwinsaurus

We have been waiting for a sensing system to be programmed for security in CCL and sudo room. Meanwhile, there have been incidents in and around the Omni that raise security concerns. Starting in August we will start closing and locking the entry door. If someone is having a workshop and wants to keep an open door for the duration, that's cool, prop it open. When you exit the area please close the door and check that it locked. Here's how to unlock the door: 1. check to see no one is watching you 2. press the lever/switch on the box to the left of the door (see photo) while saying "open sesame" 3. push open the door and enter. [image: opensezme.jpg] to lock the door, just close it. The door also opens from inside. This message is coming to you via Sudo-discuss or CCL members at google groups. Please pass it on to anyone who needs to know the procedure.

Re: Preparing CCL for rain storm tonight

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Ok, just checked the roof drains - look fine - and swept the roof of anything that might clog them. Very few leaves so far, but if this rain storm comes with high winds, it may be good to have someone check tomorrow as well. Don't have time to do any spot-patching up on the roof - anyone know where those materials are, and which ones we should be using right now that have a short dry time? Currently splitting open some large trash bags I brought in, to cover some of the remaining valuables...

[omni-consensus] Hiring Christina Oatfield to resolve property taxes (fwd)

by Jake

sudoroom needs to send their delegate (me) with a position on this asap. i (as a member) am in favor, i think there's no reason to hesitate. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2022 19:38:36 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Hiring Christina Oatfield to resolve property taxes I would like us to hire a local lawyer named Christina Oatfield (https://www.christinaoatfield.com/) to represent Omni Commons as we navigate our welfare exemption application with the county assessor's office, to resolve the issue of our outstanding property taxes. This is a huge existential problem. If we don't get it resolved, there is no way we will ever get a loan, or keep the building. She has extensive local experience in exactly this area, charges $225/hour, and would ask us to sign the fee agreement at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bffzLFT7Rd-rKe6vaVi3qvXph3_zhRCX Her work would focus just on the welfare exemption. She would not replace Jesse Palmer as a general lawyer, or Sarah Lockhart as our 2021 tax preparer, or do any other legal or tax-related work. How do folks feel about this? Do we need to wait another 3 (!) weeks to approve this? Personally I feel like it has been brought up enough times at delegates meetings that we shouldn't need to wait that long. But I would like a couple other opinions on that. _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Fwd: [CCLmembers] Preparing CCL for rain storm tonight

by Cere Misc

This rain prep email from likely applied to any important equipment at sudo as well. I will head over to Omni today to help out. Hopefully I will see others, since i lack a lot of knowledge about where tarps are, etc. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Sep 17, 2022, 12:30 PM Subject: [CCLmembers] Preparing CCL for rain storm tonight To: Nenufar Molecules <nenufarmoleculesforlife(a)gmail.com> Cc: Counter Culture Labs Members <cclmembers(a)googlegroups.com> I think the main priority for the upcoming rain storm is to verify that the roof drain is free of any leaves, and that the mesh cage that is supposed to keep debris out is properly installed over the drain opening. That was the problem with our major leaks last time: the mesh cage had been dislodged, leaves and trash blocked the drain, and we wound up with a foot of water on the roof, which likely overtopped the vents underneath the skylights. We should also put tarps over our most valuable equipment just in case - especially the bioreactor, HPLC, UV spec, and plate reader. If anybody has time to do some work on the roof today, we can also try to close some of the gaps in the roof coating itself, but we would likely need to use the fast-drying black tar-like stuff that dries fast, rather than the more environmentally friendly latex based coating that takes a day or two to dry. Ideally we should have done that *before* the rains hit, but I think we were a bit caught off-guard with this unusually early rain storm. The skylight seals in my estimate are of secondary importance compared to the leaks in the roof coating. They still have the same seal they were installed with ~8-9 years ago. It is definitely worth re-sealing them, but I think we were getting far more water coming through roof leaks than leaking around the panes of the skylights.

Okay, I was checking because in the past Cam Life has canceled events and spots have opened up, for example September 10th, so you never know, events do fall through, which is understandable. Yes, let’s check in with them and make sure they have the right idea of where we are 3 days is a lot, if they’d be willing to shorten it or start earlier in the week to have their 3 days that would work too.

However, this fall, we are inspired to host an in-person event. Unite Hacks will bring together 60-100 high school hackers from around the globe for a three-day mystical hackathon in San Francisco. Our goal is to introduce students of ages 14-19 to a wide range of possibilities to create something larger for their community with tech and code. Our 48-hour in-person hackathon will connect students from across the world to utilize technology and code (Of all kinds!) to create, innovate, and turn their visions into a reality! Our projected date for the event is October 21 and it’s expected to run for 3 days (10/21 - 10/23). Unite Hacks needs a home in San Francisco and we were wondering if Sudo Room could host us for a weekend (Friday 6:00 pm to 12:30 pm on Sunday) on October 21. We are also open for a 2 day event if that is something which can be made possible. We’d love the opportunity to connect and answer any questions that you may have either through email or a call (phone or zoom). We believe that sponsoring our event will be mutually beneficial and will not only give you the opportunity to help us meet our goal of furthering learning, but also to help students build impactful solutions. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out and we'd be more than happy to clear any doubts!
