Occupy 10th Anniversary

by Ed Biow

Hey folx, we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street and so far no one that I am aware of has organized any events for the Bay Area. Around the country other people <https://linktr.ee/occupy2.0> have begun to plan things, open mics and art shows, vaccine clinics, free masks, Pussy Riot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot> is even supposed to show up in Los Angeles. As you can see from the attached video cliplet, there are people who would really like to see something happen in the Bay Area, as well. At this point those of us who are mulling this over are leaning towards doing something on Friday, September 17 rather than Occupy Oakland's 10th anniversary on October 10th. Since I am a pro at crastinating, if it were up to me, we might well have to wait until the heat death <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_timeline_from_Big_Bang_to_Heat_Death> of the universe before something gets organized but I'm willing to throw gobs of food at an event if other people are also interested in getting together for an open mic or speak out or something & are willing to put some energy into making it happen. I can also bring an EZ-up or three and a microphone and speaker, and maybe a few chairs and tables if we can achieve critical mass. I could even cobble together a flyer if we can agree on something. Anywho, if anyone would like to help put something together maybe that could join the biweekly rump of Occupy Oakland's GA (generally just a few people) Sunday, August 28th at 4 PM. I believe that will be here: Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/96249815361?pwd=OFluQThwRy9vVitxQXdnSS9TSmVRZz09 Meeting ID: 962 4981 5361 Passcode: 123456 Some dialin numbers: +1 408 638 0968 +1 669 900 6833 If you would like to chime in on the weekly national Occupy Commemoration Zoom meeting, it is every Saturday at noon, PST. /sending a reminder about our national organizers' call for Occupy Wall Street's 10th anniversary.

Fwd: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 27, 2021 at 2:41 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Please forward to your groups and collectives - Omni Commons is seeking candidates in our officer election for 3 positions: president, treasurer and secretary. At minimum, folks in these positions need to have their names filed with the California secretary of state and be available to occasionally sign things. At best, folks in these positions would join the finance working group to take an active role in administrative paperwork, writing checks, paying bills and so forth. An active treasurer would enable us to have separation of powers between the bookkeeper and the money spender, for example. Your primary interactions would probably be with finance wg members - currently me, Sarah Lockhart, John Torok, and occasionally Silver. Like all community members, you'd be encouraged (but not required) to attend delegates meetings on 1st and 3rd Thursdays. As soon as we get enough interested candidates, we will hold an election to get delegate approval. Thanks, Yar _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Filezilla Call for Participation: Secure File Storage & Sharing

by Karissa McKelvey

Hey everyone, we're doing a short study and I think someone from the sudoroom community could be a good fit, anyone interested in talking about your experience or know someone who fits the bill? Do you need to share files privately with a limited and select number of people? Are you concerned about security or access, and don't want to use commercial providers like Dropbox? Have you ever tried setting up a self-hosted server, like FTP, FileZilla, or NextCloud, to do this? We're booking 15-30 minute conversations to hear more about your needs. We are Rae and Kelsey from Simply Secure. Thanks to support from the Open Tech Fund <http://opentech.fund/>, we're working on making sensitive file storage, backup, and sharing much easier. Sign up on this brief form <https://form.jotform.com/filezilla/usability-interviews> or send an email to filezilla(a)simplysecure.org to get started. Thanks so much and looking forward to speaking with you soon, -- Rae McKelvey Researcher, Simply Secure decentralization off the shelf <https://decentpatterns.xyz> | about me <https://okdistribute.xyz>

fridge

by Edwinsaurus

I cleaned out a full trash can of moldy and rotten shit from this same fridge a month or 2 ago. apparently it has reverted to the same state as before. I think it is a bio hazard, breeding flies, spores, bacteria and other organisms that we don't need in Omni Commons. I think that the best solution would be to dispose of it.

I'm resigning as omni delegate

by Yardena Cohen

Hi all, I've been sudoroom's delegate to omni commons on/off for many years. I don't want to do it anymore and I think it's time for someone else to step up. I'm happy to help prep new folks for that, but I'm not going to wait around for a transition period. If nobody else steps up by next month, sudoroom will become "inactive" and will no longer be able to block consensus decisions. Best, Yar

Looking to gift a used CNC to anyone who has the space/time

by Jack Kern

Many years ago I had my small CNC hosted at sudo, I don't think it got much use as I wasn't around to help people learn it. Currently that machine is just sitting in storage now and it feels like a waste to keep it there. I'm trying to clear out this storage unit and my move out date is the 28th of this month. The system was gifted to me, and I have since gotten it working again and learned a bunch -- I would love to pass that gift along to someone else who has the time and space to actually use this thing! I would be happy to help with setup and getting it running wherever it lands. Runs on mach3 on windows, I'll include the desktop and everything seen here. I'm guessing it weighs around 150lbs, definitely need a couple people to move it. Let me know if I can answer any other questions! Cheers, Jack [image: IMG_8531.jpg][image: IMG_8545.jpg][image: 59E3DE31-F32F-4040-826D-ECF25814A53F.JPG]

New sudoroom <-> Omni Board Director Needed

by Jenny Ryan

Dear all, I regret to inform you that I have been banned from Omni in retaliation for my safe space ban of Robb after multiple pleas for support from BIPOC and women who've been harmed by his policing behavior and continual habitation of the space. As I am officially Sudo Room's Director on Omni's Board of Directors, we will need a new Director. I also have been handling Sudo Room's finances for many years. We will need someone to step into that role, as well. I am happy to onboard whomever is consensed-upon to take on this function. It's been a good ride, and I've learned so much! Much love and solidarity to you all. You can find me across the internet as tunabananas :) <3 Jenny `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

More Cyberpunk Movie Pings for Y'All

by Delta Ark

Hi Sudo, This Thursday at 630 pm we are watching a new chinese cyberpunk animation series called "Deadly Response" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnKT6c_qiA0). We don't know if it's good. We're trying it out. We have a regular crew of about 2-6 people (it fluctuates). We run it off the bay area anime and gaming server. Most people are between 25-40, just fyi. Feel free to ask me questions. I'll try to keep people here informed of our activities. Best, AK -- ai (poetry, music, simulation) + systems (robots, animals, people) = Delta Ark Studios <http://delta.center/>

Hello Sudo folks! Food not Bombs your neighborly collective at the Omni is looking to purchase a table/I-pad to better track food flow and inventory. The goal is to have the tablet installed on the main Fnb fridge downstairs but we also want to make it theft proof. Does anyone have advice on how to installed a locked tablet to a fridge ?

Food donations

by Cere Misc

Sorry, I know this is the wrong list, but. I just finished working at the Berkeley food bank. They have a bumper crop of bread and strawberries to possibly drop off, if it makes sense, to do so. I don't have a car, otherwise I would drop off a small load to the fridge outside. Does anyone here know who I can reach out to for larger food donations?

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Omni building work party this Sunday

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 16, 2021 at 10:13 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Omni building work party this Sunday To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, building < building(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, discuss <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hi all, Our likely very nitpicky fire inspection is coming up in two weeks, and we still have a ton of cleanup and fixing to do around the place. So we figured we'd organize a work party this Sunday, July 18. Here's a list of tasks that need doing - feel free to add to it: https://pad.riseup.net/p/omni-fire-inspection-checklist I expect most folks will be there 1-5pm or so. I will actually be at the Omni 10am-noon - feel free to drop by whenever you have time!

Flammable cabinet for Sudo

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I dropped off a flammables cabinet in Sudo this evening, to store whatever solvents and other flammable liquids we have. This was something recommended by David Keenan for the upcoming fire inspection. Unfortunately the cabinet I was able to buy on Craigslist is rather small, and it has a shelf that would prevent us from storing anything taller than 7 inch or so. One option might be to take a dremel or angle grinder to the shelf and just cut it out altogether. Patrik

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-building] Pics of CCL area for electric work

by Brendan Kierans

In picture 3 is a box with knockouts being used for portable power distribution. This is the incorrect type of box for this function. These boxes are for permanent mounting. Additionally, the strain relief is for romex type cable, a gland type cable grip should be used for SEOOW cable. In picture 5, there is inappropriate use of what looks like MC cable.

does someone want to pick up breakers for Omni in Redwood City

by Jake

Last night we cut the wall and mounted the new load center (circuit breaker box) downstairs at Omni, to replace Panel AB. It's a Homeline QO panel and we don't have the breakers for it. I found someone in Redwood City selling 11 of them for $60 if we pick them up today, is there anyone in that area who wants to buy them and pick them up, and bring them to the building in the next few days? If so please contact me directly! Otherwise i'm looking at other options including just buying breakers from Home Depot, but this would save us about $50 so i figured it was worth a try. -jake

Pics of CCL for Electric Work

by Dane

For Sudo Room folks working on electrical work, here are some pics that are hopefully helpful for work in relationship to CCL area of Omni Commons ? I was in CCL to do a social media update for Omni Commons and I was asked to take pics for CCL area electric sources. Not sure if this is helpful or not for double checking CCL area ? CCL Patrik did mention to make sure to have at least one CCL person in the area when needing to check out CCL area electrical structure in reference to overall Omni Commons electrical upgrade. Dane

Ventilation fan installed over sudoroom!

by Jake

Last night an intrepid cabal of hackers hacked their way through a skylight to install a high-flow ventilation fan on the roof! The power cord hangs down into sudoroom so that mice and tiny hackers can rappel down into the space rather than use the door like a noob. Also the power cord can be used to supply power to the fan so that it runs. It uses 500 watts but is quite powerful. I haven't seen our electric bill but assuming we're paying about 25 cents per kilowatt-hour, leaving it on all the time will cost us $3 per day, or $92 dollars per month. I think that rather than leaving the fan on all the time, we should create a sophisticated control system using a microphone and AI machine learning to detect when people are flapping their mouths (meat talking) in the space, and turn on the fan during those times. We can also measure humidity, or have a camera watching for motion, or even look at network traffic and see if people are using data in the nearby area. I can supply the relay connected to a server where this software can make those decisions. here is a picture of the finished product as viewed by birds. If you want to see what it looks like from below, go into sudoroom and plug it in. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Sudo_apt_install_vent_fan_on_roof.jpg -jake

sudo make crowdfunding

Let's work on a crowdfunding campaign. Reply to this thread if you want to help! or to me and I'll spin up a list for this. Also if you have a project you've worked on in the past two years that would look interesting in a crowdfunding video then let us know and we can potentially help film it! or you can just send us video or photos and a description. Make sure you're in the photo yourself if (assuming you're willing to be on camera) :) -- marc/juul

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] [omni-discuss] Noisebridge wants to financially support Sudo Room & Omni Commons

by Jenny Ryan

Thanks so much Dane! You rock! I'll write back to Noisebridge friendz. Re: Sudo debt: we have even more funds about to be transferred from a Bitcoin cashout made several weeks ago. Also, there was discussion of relieving sudo of some of our debt given that sudoers have voluntarily completed electrical work that Omni would otherwise have paid over $7500 for. Hopefully someone can take up this proposal for sudo.

Noisebridge wants to financially support Sudo Room & Omni Commons

by Dane

Hey Omni Commmons, I am in Noisebridge hackerspace meeting and Noisebridge is interested in donating money to Sudo Room that would ultimately go to Omni Commons (pay debt etc.) Potentially matching funds if Sudo Room self-organizes (that could be a lot !) https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/discussion-item-noisebridge-donate-to-th… <https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/discussion-item-noisebridge-donate-to-th…> Noisebridge folks want to see more about what Sudo Room & Omni Commons have been doing, etc. before donating, along with stronger interactions between Sudo Room & Noisebridge and Omni Commons & Noisebridge. Sudo Room needs to have stronger outreach, social media, & organizing events (virtual for now.) Based upon our social media, Sudo Room appears to be no more or on permanent hiatus. I have posted on Omni Commons Twitter & Instagram about new stuff happening at Sudo Room which brought renewed awareness of Sudo Room current status. Sudo Room is around $18,000 in debt so far (?) If Sudo Room updates social media and organizes an online fundraiser, that might strengthen the case for Noisebridge donating money and bringing in new SR members for long-term sustainability. Omni Commons as overall project & physical space has been busy everyday with mutual aid & food justice organizing ( East Bay Food Not Bombs, North Oakland Mutual Aid, Acta Non Verba ) Omni Commons has fairly strong outreach on social media for reaching new donors, volunteers, collective members, etc. (Instagram & Twitter both updated either everyday or every other day in regards to everyday grassroots organizing...not sure what deal with Omni Commons facebook is, not super active and not on point ? (another fundraiser digital source) https://mobile.twitter.com/omnicommons instagram.com/omni.commons/ Overall thing is strong outreach by Omni Commons, Sudo Room, and all 9 member collectives/groups including North Oakland Mutual Aid is one of many *essential* aspects of getting more awareness, more OC members, and monetary fundraising.

Meeting tonight Wednesday at 6 pm

by Marc Juul

We'll have a meeting tonight at 6 pm both virtual and in person Here's the link for online participation: https://meet.jit.si/SudoRoomMeeting Cel may also provide a mumble gateway. Maybe we should make it a bit of a work-meeting around re-opening and fundraising? We can do a quick round of intros and updates and then proceed to our todos? # Covid safety info for showing up in person Some of us can meet in person. I can't find any specific guidance for hackerspaces so let's follow what CCL has been doing which is 25% capacity. The room's capacity as per fire inspection is 49 people max and we share the space with CCL so that's 6 people for sudo room. I'm just gonna declare that we probably won't have that many people showing up so we don't need to have people announce if they are planning to show. If you show up and there are already more than 6 people then you should wait outside and let us know and we can coordinate with people in CCL to ensure we don't exceed the 12 person room capacity. Everyone will need to wear a face covering even if you are fully vaccinated. Don't bring in any food, though a personal beverage is ok. There is a non-contact thermometer mounted by the entrance to CCL, please use it. Do no show up if you or someone you have been in contact with has had symptoms in the past 14 days. If you have hand sanitizer or electronics friendly disinfectant spray (e.g. 70% or higher isopropanol) then please some. Your access cards to Omni may have been deactivated. We will be monitoring IRC and of course the jitsi call if you need us to open the door for you. We can re-activate people's cards after the meeting.

Free Morse Sewing Machine

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Folks, There is a Morse sewing machine for donation. About the machine, the owner's words: "Maybe a 1950's machine. The motor is working, serviced two years ago. I made a bag with it, but I haven't gotten it to work since then. When working it does straight stitches and zig zag. The last time I used it, I got a lot of chewed stitches. It may be me who doesn't know how to use it." The pickup address is in San Rafael (Marin County). Address will be provided to those interested. The 3 images were uploaded the URLs below, due that I ignore the maximum amount of file size in this email list: https://ibb.co/LPtBKB1 https://ibb.co/LnGmL69 https://ibb.co/6rxt64p The links are good only for 30 days starting the day this email went out.

Omni Delegates Meeting Minutes 7/2/2021

by Jenny Ryan

I added some (ok, quite a few) comments after the fact tonight. I apologize (kinda). I'd really love for these conversations and decisions to be more accessible, with perhaps a few domineering individuals recusing themselves from time to time (come on, it's midsummer - take a break!) so that others can feel more comfortable participating.

It must be done as a formal proposal. ** Jenny: Pretty sure you made that up. * Mary Ann: We do have specific process for Rent.

Not a time sensitive issue. Reassuring we * Partik: ANV has been having money coming in. He is not if favor of blanket forgiveness of rent. * Sarah: Not talking about blanket but wants those like ANV to be considered. Also groups loke Sudo doing Building work would be forgiven for their service. Aslo OC is not without money due to our being excused from mortage * AB: The Elcetricical work Sudo did has been brought out many times. Its between Sudo and the finance committee. FYE has been effected by the pandemic. Why aren't we being supported. * Sarah: This is an informal proposition; something I s\discussed informally with Jenny. She thinks FYE does deserve to have rent forgiven ** jenny-remote: post-meeting edit, i suggested sudo/FYE/liblens all have back rent waived (sudo hustling to fundraise and have also completed what would have otherwise been $7500+ in payments to electrical contractors - <3 to jake, alex, yar and others who've helped with this project to upgrade omni's electrical panels!) * AB: He is open to doing work for rent, Don't composre us to Sudo. Must condsider size, racial diversity etc. Consider this alternative.He will go through to=he formal process.OC made $70k. * Robb: Mary Ann was just stating the policy that are on the books. He is concerned with future rent collection. OC needs to show that we have income to get our loan, He just want OC to show that we have a stable income. We can forgive and then get a stable income. * Patrik: Thinks everyone present wants to forgive FYE and Noma.. Can we do that now * Robb all in attendance wantforgivness but we do need to follow process as Mary Ann described. * AB Agrees with Robb about stable income. Now that FYE can host events they will stay current on rent but we do need forgiveness. * Anka Any collective who need relief should ask by anxt meeting, Right? * Robb Yes. * Patrik We need to make sure every collective that owes rent gets notified * Sarah One proposal to delegates * Mary Ann The time of rent forgiveness must be figured out, What months the collective wants striken and when they will begin paying again. We need to acknowledge that each one has a particular situation. Just state the particulars of your collective. * Robb I think Yar will oppose blanket relief. ** jenny: ..what does that even mean, "blanket relief"? and why would you speak for her? i can say already: sudo, fye, and liblens all depend on in-person activities for their primary, scrappy income - 100% of which goes to Omni. other collectives do not. this is not a hard problem (when contemplated through a lens of empathy and striving for mutual collective well-being). * Parrik: Sudo does have n=money in their account ** jenny: what does that mean? all of sudo's money goes to omni, and has since 2014... (including 2/3 of the $100K donation received by sudoroom&sudomesh in 2016). we've been in the process of converting some bitcoin savings, which will most all go to omni. it would be nice to save a tiny bit of something for once in these past 8 years to upgrade the floors at least... all of omni uses sudo's resources (including CCL). * Sarah: Sudo did pay a bunch of their back Rent. ** jenny: approx 1/3 of back rent paid a month or two ago. another 1/3+ covered if electrical work-trade approved. currently fundraising for remaining 1/3. * AB:Our invoices are inaccurate. We need a better accounting. AB saw several unexplained transfers in/out of FYE subaccount - can we track who/what that was ** jenny: yes, it's all been tracked and the issues are visible both in the memos of the bank transactions (in the memo lines) as well as in quickbooks (so not sure where "unexplained" comes from...). the fye paypal account was incorrectly linked to sudo's paypal acct between june 2000 and jan 2021, and those transactions were immediately reversed. the only income intended for FYE via Paypal to date into FYE's Unify subaccount: *** $332.28 on April 6 2021 *** $435.75 on April 19 2021 *** $741.31 on May 17, 2021 *** which equals $1,509.74, exactly the amount in FYE's Unify/Omni subaccount (which remains in FYE's account, to date) - FYE's balance is $0, having no deposits over the past year. **** CORRECTION: These are, again, all sudo room paypal transfers. I will be transferring them to sudo room's account. will upload the statements to drive. FYE has had $0 in their Unify account, ever * Robb confirms quickbooks often inaccurate. Need forensic investigation of FYE account - may have been used in error ** jnny: not really. mistakes happen, and are accounted for by responsible finance folks (and verifiable by bank/paypal statements). if you have questions you can always ask sarah or myself.. or learn accounting! it's so fun!! == Reopening for events + Free Store 8:24-8:42== * Rob: Having permanent Free Store in entrance hall could change officially designated Use for that space - would lose grandfathering of all the code issues. poses existential threat to Omni * Sarah: Free Store discussion seems more complicated issue. Believes we agreed it as a temporary pop-up, not a permanent store. Suggest tabling this discussion. Free Store cannot be in place during fire inspection * Joe: could be explained as auxiliary activity of one of our collective on a temporary basis. Remembers Vicky agreed she would demonstrate Store could be removed on moment's notice *Joe: proposal came in for very big event - could pay $10K. Set off red flag with Jesse. Joe will do writeup with coments from Jesse, and send to booking group * Robb: Oakland Privacy (fiscally sponsored by Omni) wants mtg w 15 ppl mid July, recurring monthly. Willing to pay $50/mo to store some gear * Patrik: not comfortable with certain events, Ok for others. E.g. party in basement is bad idea * Mary Ann Can we figure out a definite opening date. * AB: need a time limit on this; when will we revisit this? * Sarah: if we have mask policy, is that enough? * According to Ian (air quality expert), Ballroom has best air flow, then disco, then entrance hall ; did some simple air quality tests * Anka: What are the definitions and limits of loud bands. * Anka and AB Ask that we review our covid related restrictions o events at each delegates meeting. * Patrik:The course of the pandemic is not predictable. = PROPOSAL: Opening for Events = * Allow public events w 49 in ballroom, 24 in Disco and entrance * Exclude loud music, alcohol, strenuous physical activity, singing/shouting * Commit to vote on a more well-informed proposal next delegates mtg * votes: no objections; most people in favor by show of hands * Joe: need to think hard on how to improve morale * Patrik: we'd been through a year and a half of trauma, and not being able to meet in person. What can we actively do to improve morale. Hold reopening party? Meet in person for next delegates mtg? * AB: Agrees on meeting in person. Can project folks who cannot attend IRL. Also hold monthly healing circle == Main panel / electricity shutdown 10 min == * == Morale issues at OC == * == Fire Inspection == * = End of Meeting = * please archive these meeting notes by copying the entire pad contents onto the omni wiki at https://omnicommons.org/wiki <https://omnicommons.org/wiki> * then please erase the contents of this pad * then please cut & paste a blank template from here: https://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Delegates_Meeting_Notes_T… <https://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Delegates_Meeting_Notes_T…> * previous notes are archived here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Meetings <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Meetings> [[Category:Delegates Meeting]]

👋 Hi folks

by Tabby

I’m new here in this list and I just moved to Oakland. The way the Internet is being used today, frustrates me. I don’t think I should need a cloud service for my photos to automatically sync from my phone to my laptop when they both have multiple radios and they’re inches apart for most of the day. I don’t know why we all have to get individual wired Internet access and then set up our own wireless networks in the same limited RF spectrum. I don’t like that sometimes it feels like I can hardly communicate with another human being without seeing sponsored content. I don’t like that no matter how many cookies I block, companies can track me by my IP address. I write software/firmware and one of my hobbies is software defined radio. How can I help? -Tabby 😺

See this discussion thread on our forum, which anyone is welcome to join if they prefer to post there [1]. We would love input from Sudo Room itself, or those in the Omni Commons, to share their thoughts and suggestions. Thank you, and we look forward to engaging in this discussion!

by johanna faust

Does anyone have an animal trap to lend suitable for trapping a 5 to 6 week old abandoned kitten? She has been crying-meowing on and off for almost 48 hours. yes i contacted feral foundations and animal societies, although if you know one that will lend a trap i must have missed them. thank you so much. -- *Be seeing you.*
