Re: [CCLmembers] New Environmental Justice Projects!!

by Cere Davis

Hey Zach, Really great to see your post! I posted a similar query to survey interest in collaboration on ecological minded projects via the sudoroom list, though it's not clear to me that it went through. I am also really interested in just collecting people interested in ecological projects which have an ecological focus without restricting what the kinds of project participation will look like. The tasks you suggest already make sense to me. Hoping this email goes through to the sudo list (cc'ed here) as well. We should start collecting inaturalist data en masse on birds now, since they are next up to show up dead on the food chain. Pinnipeds might be next. -Cere On Mon, Sep 12, 2022 at 5:28 PM zach.dsmith27 <zach.dsmith27(a)gmail.com> wrote: > TL;DR Have an interest in doing citizen science addressing climate change? > help me figure out what we should do together! > Hi All, > My name is Zach Smith, and I'm writing to ask for all of your help in > determining and hopefully executing a new phase of environmental justice > projects to take place at Counter Culture Labs.

coughing Tom

by Edwinsaurus

About a week ago there was an incident where Tom (Is he even a Sudo member?) was has hanging out at Sudo room. Tom is coughing a lot all over the place, he wears a mask but most of the time I see it dangling around his neck. I have spoken to him in the past about this. He props the door open to let himself in and out. Dane came to CCL and spoke to me about Tom and his coughing. I went over to Sudo with Dane and we asked Tom to go get medical attention and not to come into the Omni coughing like that. Tom's response showed that he really didn't give a fuck about our concerns for the health of the Omni community. He continued with his internet activities and didn't leave. 3 days later I got sick and found that I had been infected with the COVID SARS virus. Of course I don't know where I got infected but I have had very little contact with people outside of the Omni. I would recommend Omni ban Tom permanently for not considering the health and welfare of the Omni community. People have been banned from the Omni for less reason than this. CCL has a set of rules which would prohibit anyone to behave like Tom in CCL space. We are set up to record temperatures, have people sign in and state they have no symptoms, etc. Jake you need to not talk any more about taking the lock off the door. It is in place for multiple reasons and this is just one. Make the situation better for the community, not worse. I don't want to have any more discussion, I'm busy healing up.

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

Re: help prepare bike lights tomorrow (sunday) at 1PM!

The Sunday preparation event went great! Cassady helped shuck batteries (outside since it was a dangerous job) Matt donated some bike lights I think Alex designed a battery holder from PVC tubing Michael heroically sorted through a giant pile of LED remote controllers, tested them and soldered battery connectors to them Alessandra wired up EIGHT little xmas light strings to batteries Peter and Alex built TEN battery packs and wired them up Marco tested the addressible lights and labeled them (we have tons!)

Massive fish die off. Oxygen badly needed

by Cere Misc

Hacksters. If you ain't already heard there's a massive fish dieoff going on around all over the bay due to oxygen getting sucked out of the water from a combination of wastewater effluent and water that's too-goddam-warm. From those who have been monitoring things like this during their entire lifetime, they say they have never seen anything this horrible. Parts of Lake Merritt look like a fish graveyard. Lots of large fish, skates, sturgeon (the redwoods of the waters) washed up all over the bay. If you want to see some visuals of the horror, here's some places to look: https://www.instagram.com/stories/biodiversiphile/2917398642823053646/ https://www.instagram.com/stories/damontighe/2917219146041116213/ https://twitter.com/hashtag/LakeMerritt?src=hashtag_click So. What do? Hacker action: The red tide algal bloom that was created due to the wastewater, etc seems to be receding in Lake Merritt, and what few fish are left are congregating in regions of Lake Merritt where there is a source of mechanical oxygenation. So now is a good opportunity to head over there with a pump and a battery/solar panel and bubble in some air around the fish. Anyone want to meet over there today?

sudoroom event: decorate bikes with lights

by Jake

Peter and I want to host an event at sudoroom (and partially in the entrance hall or ballroom/stage, since there will be a bunch of bikes and we'll need space) where we will invite East Bay Bike Party facebook group members/instagram followers to come and add LED lights to their bicycles. The next EBBP ride is Friday September 9th in 8 days. I'm thinking this event should be wednesday or thursday. We will need help from whoever's available! I want to have a pre-event preparation day with volunteers from this list, to go through the many LED supplies we have in sudoroom, and stuff we'll bring from home, so that when the event happens, we have lights, batteries, and switches/LED controllers labeled and ready to wire up and hot glue in place. That pre-event preparation can be anytime people want to meet up, including multiple days, so reply here if you're interested and available to meet up at sudoroom Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, or Wednesday afternoon, to prepare for this event. Don't worry if you aren't good with electronics, I'll show you what we need to do! Of course you'll be able to decorate your own bike too, but we want to focus on hosting new people from the EBBP community so that they can learn about sudoroom and the omni, and hopefully DONATE and join us. So it's a community-building and expanding exercise. Who is available when? Also if you have rolls of LED tape or LED christmas lights that you want to donate, now's the time! thank you -jake

Action items to save Sudo Room & Omni Commons

by Andrew R Gross

*Hey Sudo! * Tonight about a dozen people met face-to-face to lay out Sudo Room’s plan help save this hackerspace and Omni Commons. Below is a summary of the situation with bulleted action items. If you want to help, just email me and say, “I’d like to help ____” and I’ll point you in the right direction. *Where we are* The Omni Commons building was bought with money from an anonymous donor who will begin foreclosure proceedings on our building unless we pay them $900k by December 1st. Sudo Room is receiving ~$1,000 per month that it pays to Omni, which is half of our obligation of $2k /mo. That $1000 comes from 49 paying members. *What we’re going to do* Money - Our target is to generate $3000 on a monthly basis by November 1st. Ⓐ Renew or upgrade your membership. ** If all current members paid $60 /mo our financial goal would be complete. ** Ⓐ Call a current or past member from our member list to let them know what’s happening and ask them to renew or upgrade their monthly donation. Labor - We need hands. Ⓐ Volunteer to host/Co-host an event. Ⓐ Make or share a piece of promotional art on Instagram. Ⓐ Volunteer to do 4 hours of work for the Omni funding working group. Ⓐ Volunteer to help one day with the Omni facilities and building maintenance working group Ⓐ Volunteer to help setup, run, or clean up after a scheduled event Influence - We’d like to call on influencers to boost Omni’s fund raiser and drive traffic to Sudo Room’s upcoming events. Ⓐ Suggest influencers to the Sudo media working group that you think you could reach out to who might signal boost us. Do not reach out to them until you’ve talked to someone in the media working group. *This is not a comprehensive list of all you can do. *But it’s a starting point. If you want to help but don’t know which of these to do, just email me and say, *“I wanna help.”* Cheers! *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

so what cool creative projects are folks working on this week?

by Romy Ilano

it's like, it doesn't even have to be even anything tangible like a work project. or an art project. it can be like the old sudoroom "today I learned" meetups where we talked about what we learned that week! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned FYI today i learned was never a "teaching class" like the kind they use to get funding and stuff for "teaching stem to people" from rich non profits. it was pretty authentic and people were allowed to be as weird as they anted to be. Maybe we can get these started again, it's a lot easier since so much is online now! I did one a few years ago on comics, 3d printing and the universe https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#May_11,_2013_Comics,_3D_Printing_… again it was NOT a teaching class to "teach STEM" https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ComicsAndMore ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

the problem with gender specific activities

by romy＠snowyla.com

I think it's good to view gender specific activities with caution whether it's creating a women's embroidery group or making events "more friendly for women. While I like the Girl Scouts, I heard a NY times episode where girls wished they could do all the cool adventure and science projects the boy Scouts do. Usually they get directed to community service and making jewelry which is a little sad! when I see how Girl Scouts are directed to community service and work it reminds me of the "women's groups" I see popping up even today at women in tech spaces. maybe there's a solution where people can stop getting pushed into these really weird areas. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/nov/23/girl-scouts-boy-scouts-diff… Despite the similarities between the programs, a 2011 study in Gender & Society, a journal focused on gender studies, found that Girl Scouts are generally discouraged from scientific pursuits while Boy Scouts are pushed away from artistic interests. The study found that the girls are offered more art activities than the boys, but science activities make up only 2% of their activities and 6% for the boys. The girls’ activities are more communal, with 30% of their badge work taking place in groups, while the boys work is more self-oriented with less than 20% of their work taking place in a group. The study also found that boys were instructed to look for answers in the back of their guide, something that “fosters intellectual dependence and passivity”, whereas girls were encouraged to do original research. What badges can they earn? There are over 100 merit badges offered to Boy Scouts in subject areas including sports, crafts, science, trades, business and future careers. In order to earn a badge, a scout must pick the subject they’re interested in, meet with a merit badge counselor, complete the task, and then present either the finished product or their new knowledge to the counselor. The Girl Scouts also offer a range of badges, in areas including first aid, crafting and practical life skills. Scouts must prove themselves proficient in an area before receiving a badge. Some subjects (cookie business, financial literacy, skill building, etc) have progression badges, where scouts earn a higher level in the same subject area as they grow increasingly proficient. They also offer the Make Your Own Badge option for those scouts whose interests lie outside of the offerings.

So what are the cool projects people are working on this week?

by Romy Ilano

I have my own creative project 😎 Still getting used to being in a place with so much cat dependency. Cars make the west coast really suck 😢 but wondering how we can make it better. Nyc rules! I’d like to build more links with SudoRoom and nyc as well as Berlin . When I was a member of Rps collective we’d often come up with creative fundraisers based on creative projects people did in the space. There were many spontaneous examples among them stuff that became a dj party out of a comics workshop Not sure about Omni commons long term survival will be based on new members getitng put into consensus meetings, cleaning 🧹 projects or pushing women to teach and care for kids 🤣. But that’s just me I like the womens coding night. I can’t make it but it’d be cool to see a showcase of projects! Sent from my iPhone

[omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: remove inactive member collectives (FYE and Liberated Lens) (fwd)

by Jake

dear sudoroom members, as your delegate i will be asked to represent our collective will on these proposals. I believe they are uncontroversial and we should approve the proposal. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 12:40:45 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: remove inactive member collectives (FYE and Liberated Lens) Neither FYE or Liberated Lens has shown up to a delegates meeting or occupied space in the building for a long time. Neither exists as an active group in any meaningful way. I think we should formally declare together that these groups are dissolved, are no longer member collectives, no longer fiscally sponsored projects, and no longer have delegates or board members at Omni Commons. Current delegates, please discuss among your groups. If there are no objections, we can use our next meeting to formalize this - Thursday September 1, 2022. _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

corporate matching for the omnicommons gofundme

by romy＠snowyla.com

OK I have asked this in the past, but Omnicommons and Sudoroom are officially non profits right? I'd like to donate and get my company to do a corporate matching but I need fussy stuff like receipts, verification that it's a non profit. =/ if it's too much bother I'll just donate in small bursts until I find out more.

save the omni whiteboard -

by Romy Ilano

https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPfOBW0A=/?share_link_id=253793777451 Argh sorry I don't have a paid account on this thing, but starting a omni whiteboard. What makes omni and sudoroom special? There are so many intangibles but mostly it's that it's a tangible physical space. - There are things that you learn and create here that simply aren't possible in an online learning forum. - There are a lot of eccentric individuals - This is one of the few affordable community owned large spaces for events in Oakland - There is synergy between the people holding events here as well as the cluster of collectives! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Submissions to Light SF

by Romy Ilano

On the lighter side of things (besides the threat of fundraising doom), I'm submitting a proposal and everyone else is welcome too: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWRJfhUlWySzx72QN9dQADKFJRqQZTeTx… https://www.downtownsf.org/events/letsglowsf-2022/ There's a move to do light projections in downtown SF again! I think it's nice, the downtown is pretty dead. They did it during the height of the pandemic, and it's a godo vibe. It transforms a pretty dead financial district at night into a place of wonder I mean, hmm now that we think of it, perhaps light projections on a corridor from Telegraph to the Omnicommons could draw the diners out here during a first friday! I think it would have to be later in the year though when it is getting darker earlier. light bulb!!!! another reason to save the omni. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Petition: Cuba is NOT a sponsor of state terrorism

by Ed Biow

*Petition preceded by boring screed, skip <#petition> to the end:* During the last days of tRump's presidency he classified Cuba <https://www.nafsa.org/regulatory-information/cuba-placed-back-list-state-sp…> as a sponsor of state terrorism, with about as much proof as he had of his allegation that he was cheated out of re-election by massive electoral fraud...in other words, /none/. But Sleepy Joe hasn't seen fit to take Cuba off the list again, so it gets to join the rest of the current incarnation of the 'Axis of Evil,' Syria, Iran & North Korea....but strangely not Russia despite that country attacking its neighbor a few months ago & its widespread bombardment of civilians <https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3185789/russia-bombards-citi…>, I guess its nice to have massive fossil fuel fields. My friends who are still doing Cuba solidarity work tell me that it has NEVER been harder to legally send humanitarian support to Cuba. Not even during The Former Guy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFG>'s administration to say nothing of Bush II who declined to extend a license me and my friends had to send computers to the Cuban medical community <https://www.sld.cu/>. (We sent 3,000 machines to Cuba, but the licenses we had to get from the Departments of Commerce, State & "Defense" never let us send anything faster than a 266 Mhz Pentium II.) It is getting harder & harder to tell the difference between Demublicans & Republocrats. Cuba is currently having difficulties after a lightening strike recently set a massive fire <https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2022/8/9/photos-deadly-fire-at-cubas-main…> that destroyed 40% of their fuel storage and is causing wide-spread blackouts. This is made immeasurably worse by the 60-year long embargo <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/03/cuba-us-embargo-must-…> 11 US administrations have imposed on the country for having the audacity to throw off American political & economic domination. /(The) embargo clearly //violates the UN charter and the international law <https://www.un.org/press/en/2021/ga12341.doc.htm>//it enshrines...for the 29th consecutive year, members of the UN general assembly have //voted <https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/06/1094612>//to end the embargo by an overwhelming vote of 184 to two/ Despite this economic hardship, Cuba has exercised solidarity on its own, sending thousands of doctors <https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/latamcaribbean/2020/04/08/the-world-rediscovers-cub…> to help poor people in other countries, especially in times of crisis. Cuba also operates what is possibly the world's largest medical school <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7g2T3BWg9E> where 20k <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_American_School_of_Medicine_in_Cuba> low-income students from 110 countries can study to become physicians for free. Cuba's medical system is so efficient that the country actually has longer life-expectancies <https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/> & lower infant mortality <https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/infant-mortality-rate-by…> than the United States. This despite the fact that the United States far more for healthcare <https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-co…> than any country in the world, about $11,945 per capita, substantially more than Cuba's whole nominal GDP per capita <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Cuba>. BTW, one of my friends who is active in the Cuba solidarity community recently told me that she has been doxxed <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing>, threatened & harassed by some alt-right types. She even came home one day and found a bullet on her table, they had someone broken in to her apartment, so if you want to sign the petition anonymously, I wouldn't blame you. I'll try not to politi-spam you again for a few years. Often Wrong Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cuba is Not a Sponsor of Terror! <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> A crucial policy of the Trump administration remains, and that is Cuba’s presence on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. It is critical to Cuba’s ability to pursue economic, trade and humanitarian activities that it be removed immediately from the list - a power well within Biden’s authority. Please sign our petition to the White House calling for Cuba to be removed from the list. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> Read the Petition Below Click Here to Sign the Petition! <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> Dear President Biden, <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> We are concerned that your policies toward Cuba, which have been more aligned with those of President Trump than President Obama, are hurting the wellbeing of the Cuban people. While your recent easing of travel and remittance restrictions are helpful, they are not enough. One positive and principled measure that you could easily implement is to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> As you are aware, in the last days of the outgoing Trump administration, then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo added Cuba back onto the list of state sponsors of terrorism, after it had been removed from the list in 2015 by the Obama-Biden administration. After a significant review, the Obama-Biden White House had certified that “(i) the Government of Cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism during the preceding 6-month period; and (ii) the Government of Cuba has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future.” <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> Trump’s re-designation of Cuba to the list was purely a political move to please conservative Cuban-Americans. The excuse was that Cuba was purportedly providing safe haven for Colombian insurgents, but these insurgents were in Cuba because of the island’s role in facilitating the historic Peace Accords between the Colombian government and a guerrilla group. Insurgent activities years ago during Colombia’s civil strife does not fit the definition of international terrorism, and the guerilla representatives were in Cuba as part of an internationally recognized process of peace negotiations supported by the United States, Norway, Colombia and other nations. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> By being on this list, Cuba is subjected to a series of sanctions and international financial restrictions that limit the nation’s ability to carry out critical financial transactions, including those needed to advance its efforts to combat the pandemic and reboot its economy. The economic deprivations to which U.S. sanctions contribute have resulted in the mass migration of Cubans, which is currently a major challenge to U.S. interests in border security, as well as causing a humanitarian crisis for the very Cuban people that your administration claims to support. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> Far from supporting terrorism, Cuba has a long history of providing healthcare and saving lives around the world. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have provided medical services in more than 160 countries, fighting diseases from Ebola to COVID-19. Instead of working with Cuba to provide healthcare globally in the middle of a global pandemic, the U.S. government has been sanctioning Cuba and squeezing its economy with a brutal blockade. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> The immense power of the U.S. government over the world financial system means that banks and traders refuse to do business with Cuba because they are afraid of retaliation by the U.S. government for not complying with the embargo. Even during the pandemic, companies have refused to sell Cuba raw materials, reactive agents, diagnostic kits, pharmaceutical drugs and a range of other materials necessary for operating Cuba’s excellent, but stressed, public science and health care system. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> President Biden, you could remove Cuba from this terrorist list with a stroke of your pen. We call on you to do just that. <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> Click Here to Sign the Petition! <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MedpLD86KLkMb592E10R4ODs7a7d5xqZ_AjuzzEoRUU…> -- +++++++++++++++++++sig hell+++++++++++++++++++ Edmund Joseph Biow 328 Haddon Road Oakland, California 94606 (510) 763-0591 (dumb landline, no caller ID, answering machine in attic, generally monitored in morning) (415) 623-6473 (cell, I monitor the landline more frequently) EMAIL biow(a)sonic.net (personal) - biow(a)riseup.net (political) - ejbiow(a)gmail.com (large attachments) - ebiow(a)yasashi.net (bcc) ejbiow(a)yahoo.com (commercial) IM (Instant Messaging, like text messaging but for computers) (I recommend pidgin with the 'otr' encryption plugin as an instant message client): ejbiow(a)gmail.com - ejbiow(a)yahoo.com - EdJBiow (AIM) - biow(a)riseup.net - often "Gnudnik" on irc.freenode.net Skype username: edmundbiow To subscribe or unsubscribe to the lists for which I'm an administrator send an email to the following: Subscribe: occupyoakland-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oscargrantcommittee-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oaklandprivacyworkinggroup-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oaklandpublicbank-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net occupyoaklanddiscuss-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oaklandlivablewagediscussion-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net (dormant) occupyoaklandkitchen-subscribe(a)lists.riseup.net (dormant) Unsubscribe: occupyoakland-unsubscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oscargrantcommittee-unsubscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oaklandprivacyworkinggroup-unsubscribe(a)lists.riseup.net oaklandpublicbank-unsubscribe(a)lists.riseup.net occupyoaklanddiscuss-unsubscribe(a)lists.riseup.net Relatively secure EMAIL: You can use a PGP key to encrypt and secure our messages.

Hidden rotary phone in Omni trash room?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

So here's a mystery for all you techno-sleuths and scavenger hunt fans: I just discovered a wall-mounted, old school rotary phone, in a hidden location in the Omni trash room! I'm not going to reveal the exact location so as not to deprive you of the joy of discovering it yourself. * Does the phone still work? * What is it connected to? Hotline to the FBI for mob informers? * What might have been the history of that phone? Did the current trash room have a different use that might explain the need for a phone there? * Is there a link to the doorless room in the basement, or the zombie apocalypse emergency supply closet? Sooo many questions... Patrik

Membership/finances

by Juliana A

I asked this question some weeks ago, posting again here; is there doc we can see SudoRoom finances in general (how much $ in memberships/ donations, etc). Last time I checked humans.sudoroom.org it seems only members have access to finances. Is there anywhere else a non-member could check that info? I think it'd be interesting to have for transparency's sake. Either way, as I mentioned in my last msg, I'd like to apply for a membership, so let me know how to do that. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com

sudo-access list access and spam

by Jake

it seems that sudo-access is set to accept emails from non-members and is forwarding spam which is bad. https://sudoroom.org/lists/hyperkitty/list/access@sudoroom.org/2022/7/ Also I need to add someone to the list and i don't see how to do that. https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/access.sudoroom.org/ help? -jake On Tue, 2 Aug 2022, Sean Greenslade wrote: > On Tue, Aug 02, 2022 at 07:53:46PM -0700, Jake via sudo-discuss wrote: >> got dammit, sorry everyone, i accidentally approved this fucking SPAM message >> to the list because I was trying to approve a different message and I didn't >> look closely enough. >> >> I don't understand why the spam was waiting to be approved, I thought I told >> the system to discard that message and mark it as spam. >> >> this is bad because now our mailinglist has sent out a spam and will get >> negative reputation points. >> >> -jake > > If it makes you feel any better, this is the hardest type of spam to > reliably trap.

by Jake

tonight we cut the locks off of the lockers, where the combinations had been lost. there are now about six lockers available on the East side of sudoroom, for members. We have combination locks available too! Please let me know if you want a lock.

Help me with wordpress

by steve＠bradytales.com

Hi! I'm Steve, a local wingnut/author, and friend of Jake who claims no knowledge of wordpress. I'm hoping someone can help me with my WordPress site, bradytales.com. As you can see, the basic list of blog posts is duplicated. I hope to find someone very familiar with the wordpress system who can make this go away. Any takers? Thanks!

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

Fwd: [sudo-info] German TV

by Andrew R Gross

Hey everyone! I almost missed this email because most of the messages received on it are spam, but it looks like a production company is interested in using the space as a location for an interview with former google engineer Blake Lemoine. You can see my response below. I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be able to accommodate this request. I also asked if they could check if Blake wanted to hang around and chat with members. If they decide to go forward I suggest that we request a voluntary donation in line with typical space rental fees. Is anyone else interested in possibly meeting with Blake? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ingolf Baur <ingolf.baur(a)gmx.de> Date: Wed, Jul 27, 2022 at 10:29 AM Subject: [sudo-info] German TV To: <info(a)sudoroom.org>, <sudo-discuss-owner(a)sudoroom.org> Hi there, we filmed at the counterculture lab a few years ago with Patrik and Josiah for German public broadcasting cultural TV 3sat ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xflXGdd_n6) and I liked it a lot at the time. Now we’re working on a documentary about the developments in AI. I’m trying to organize an interview with Google engineer Blake Lemoine. He’s the one who thinks Googles AI has become sentient. I’d like to do the interview via Skype while I am in Germany and he is in the US. Cameramen filming on both ends. Is there a chance for this interview to happen in your sudo-house in Oakland? It would just be two people: Blake and the camera operator. The date is set for next Tuesday morning, the 2nd of August at 10:30 am and won’t take longer than an hour. Thank you for considering!
