Roston is part of a team that is setting up a wireless internet connection. The home is just one of 150 designated households in the city to receive free internet service by the end of the year. In 2016, a coalition of media, tech, and community organizations launched the Equitable Internet Initiative, a project that will result in the construction of wireless broadband internet networks across three underserved Detroit neighborhoods.

Each network will provide wireless internet service to 50 households per neighborhood, according to Diana Nucera, executive director of DCTP. “During the economic and housing crisis, communities had to fend for themselves,” Nucera says. “Media and technology play such a vital role in economic opportunities, but the tech industry doesn’t really think about community organizing.” That’s why, she explains, “we developed this approach called community technology.” *Read the full story* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-d/> *ALSO* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-h/> *4 Tips for Using Social Media in Your Activism <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-k/>* ALAINA LEARY <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-u/> *Give the Gift of YES!* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-o/>YES! gift subscriptions bring hope and inspiration all year long!

Fwd: Save the Omni Commons

by Dane

Forwarding just in case for Sudo Room and/or Sudo Mesh members not on Omni email lists ? Dane ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Omni Commons <info(a)omnicommons.org> Date: Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 9:14 AM Subject: Save the Omni Commons To: <Wanderingsearch1(a)gmail.com> Help support the Commons in these difficult times Save the Omni Dear Friends and supporters of the Omni Commons. All of us at the Omni Commons wish you, our friends and supporters, a safe and healthy holiday season. This has been a difficult and challenging year for so many people because of the pandemic and resulting economic crisis. It has been and continues to be difficult and challenging for those of us at the Omni Commons. That’s why we’re asking you to make a generous donation to our GoFundMe or Facebook Campaigns to save the Omni Commons, which continues to face a financial challenge. Donations to our Facebook campaign on #GivingTuesday, Dec. 1, are matched, GoFundMe Campaign <https://omnicommons.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b3df74e35ed3cfc94d1f…> Facebook Campaign <https://omnicommons.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b3df74e35ed3cfc94d1f…> Four years ago, the collectives that make up the Omni Commons obtained a loan to purchase the building at 4799 Shattuck Avenue in North Oakland. Since then, we have offered event space to the wider community and workspace to collectives on a sliding-scale basis. The Shelter-in-Place order issued in mid-March in response to the pandemic, as well as subsequent restrictions, have prohibited the gatherings that rent our event space and provide half of the income to make our monthly loan payments and keep the Omni Commons open. We have been able to keep the building open for the essential services that some of our collectives provide to the community. Additionally, we collaborated in forming the North Oakland Mutual Aid Drive together with other community organizations. The Omni has become a local distribution site for the curbside and low-income communities, disproportionately people of color, in North Oakland. We’re using our ballroom and entrance hall to gather canned food, water, masks, hand sanitizer and other items, and then distribute these items to those who need them. While the Omni Commons continues to keep the building open for our collectives to offer essential services, we now face a big challenge. In the midst of pandemic restrictions limiting our income, we must refinance the original five-year loan on the building by May 1, 2021. We’re working hard to save enough money to show lenders that we are able to make loan payments until restrictions are lifted and it’s safe to open up event rentals again. So, we’re asking you, our friends and supporters, to make a generous contribution to our GoFundMe campaign to Save the Omni Commons. If you can make a contribution to help us through this crisis, we will thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

is it safe to share bank account numbers online?

by Jake

serious question, can we share the routing number and account number of the omni or sudoroom bank account publicly, to enable people to transfer money into the account? Or is this a security risk? I don't know much about banking and security (except that it's heavily encrusted with tradition dating back to the pre-computer days) so I figured i'd just put the question out there. We have people wanting to donate money to sudoroom (yes i have heard about bitcoin thank you) but they're turned off by the tradition of giving 3% over to a credit card processor or other MITM which is understandable. But since we're in quarantimes, it's another reason to gather ways of gathering money without making people leave their couch. for reference: https://consumerboomer.com/what-can-someone-do-with-your-bank-account-and-r… god this is so stupid, apparently it is possible to rob someone's account from those numbers, but it's also impossible to hide those numbers as they're printed on every check you send out. Wow great system. -jake

Proposal: Forgive 50% of Omni rent debt from April - Oct

by Jenny Ryan

Dear sudoers, As of tomorrow, sudo room will officially be 3 months overdue for Omni rent ($6K), with an additional $2K due September 25th for October rent. I am transferring about $1K from our Paypal now, which will increase our total money-in-the-bank to approximately $2900, enough to pay off one month's back rent. I want to give a shoutout to all who've stepped up to donate more and/or sell some of our assets via eBay in recent months - Thank you for your support! And please send an update on that progress! I'm attaching a PDF of sudo room's history of pledges owed and payments made in 2020, as well as 2018, 2019, and 2020's YTD Profit & Loss reports. The following proposal up for consensus, which would put us meagerly back in the black: *Proposal to Omni Commons for sudo room consensus: * Sudo Room is requesting a retroactive 50% reduction in rent for the months of April-October (Pledge #s 2052, 2062, 2071, 2086, 2185, and 2195). This is a six-month reduction in rent. Attached are sudo room's financial reports from 2018 - 2020-to-date, reflecting ongoing inability to match income to expenses (our only expenses being Omni rent and our web hosting services). Sudo Room's donation from Sudo Mesh in 2018 of $10K was predicted to create the necessary buffer for lack of sufficient income through until mid-2020, and this prediction has unfortunately been correct. We will be working actively to increase our income and report-back to the Delegate's and Finance WG in October 2020. <3 Jenny Ryan *Nonprofit Bookkeeping and Technology Consulting* 315.292.4656 | jennyryan.net

Membership and Sudo Room Space

by Dane

Hey Sudo, There is a person who was wanting to see if someone could help with their laptop which got hacked and a SD card if I understood them correctly. I gave them Sudo info email and discuss list email. Christie or Kirstie ? Not a member but planned to apply when COVID hit. No one was in Sudo Room. Ghost Town Hackerspace. Also, what are next steps as I want to join Sudo but not sure what is even going on at this time with Sudo? Probably need to have info for folks who visit who are not members but want tech help. I am only in Omni to clean up the space, kick ass, and chew bubble gum (and I'm all out of bubble gum.) Dane

Running compressor this Tuesday

by Marc Juul

Hi all. I will be running an air compressor for 12 hours straight in the sudo/CCL area of Omni this coming Tuesday from around noon until midnight. I am not sure exactly how loud it will be but the compressor is inside a somewhat sound-dampened box so hopefully it won't be too bad. I don't see anyone on the CCL pandemic access calendar scheduled for that period. This is a so-called regeneration cycle for a CO2/humidity scrubber which is needed to get it ready for use after it's been sitting unused for quite a while. Let me know if anyone has a conflict and needs me to reschedule. -- marc/juul

Scope for donation somewhere

by ken＠spaz.org

I've got an old Leader LBO-325 scope, 60mhz, dual channel, nice and portable in a field case, with a 1x/10x probe. I think it is from the 1990s. There are manuals online. It works, though the focus doesn't, the trace is fuzzy. Probably needs a pot cleaned or maybe replaced. Don't need it anymore, so if sudoroom or anyone wants it, let me know, it's yours.

One-time use of Sudo Room laser cutter

by Gregoire Gentil

Hello, I'm a one-man shop in the peninsula and I desperately need to use a laser cutter for my work for a couple of hours. Like everybody, I'm in a very tough spot. I have been trained and I have used the Noisebridge laser cutter a few times but it's offline for three months now (security + covid + move). HackerDojo is offline too. I have been using laser cutters for 15 years (early days of Techshop). Is it possible to access and use the Sudo Room laser cutter - one time? If you have any information regarding this request, you can reply to this email or contact me privately. Thank you in advance, Grégoire

Converting KiCad to Seeeed Fusion?

by ken＠spaz.org

Hi all, Is there an open source tool or KiCad plugin that'll convert a KiCad PCB file to whatever format Seeeed Fucion wants? I found Osh Park super easy to work with as they have a nice web gooey to do this and can accept KiCad PCB files. Seeeed Fusion, however, has instructions on exporting Gerber files manually, which I followed, but which their system did not accept. It seems like the kind of conversion that could be automated away with some software. Googled around, didn't find anything. If you know of something that does, this, I'd like to use it. Thanks.

a very racist encounter from a man named Rob

by D. Scott Nanos

Greetings Sudo et al, I'm so sorry but I have to bring to your attention a recent, very unfortunate, inappropriate, and violent encounter a friend of mine, Deon Saunders, had with a guy named "Rob", who I don't think I know personally, although I'm sure he's well known around Omni in general. I don't believe he's a sudo member specifically, but I believe this incident sort of came into Sudo territory when Marc became involved; I also really respect and love what Sudo room provides to the community, and I know that Sudo is a powerful force within the Omni; as such, I'm writing to you all now because I believe this issue definitely needs to be dealt with, and not ignored or brushed aside. Basically, Deon is friends with Phat Beets and Food First, and has been frequenting the Omni in order to do work and access the community resources that are available. To my understanding, he often works in the Sudo room space. Although this should not need to be said, I can personally vouch for Deon as an upstanding and generous member of the Oakland community. Deon was having trouble accessing the space the other day and rung the Omni doorbell several times, at which point guy named Rob opened the door and started cursing at him and being very aggressive. After Deon was able to enter Omni, Rob then started following him around and harassing him, acting like a cop. Although this is egregious in and of itself, and a terrible counter-representation of the Omni's values, this all came to a head when Rob accused Deon of not being "an actual, normal, human being". Whether or not this was intentional, it evoked longstanding racist attitudes that black folks have been subjected to, suggesting that Deon was less-than, or sub-human. Deon was so offended that he promptly left the Omni and has not been back since. Besides this very loaded and hateful comment, this general kind of treatment and attitude, overall, is the EXACT opposite of the way black folks should be treated when interfacing with the Omni. Rob's actions are not okay, at all, and I strongly feel that a serious accountability process should be implemented for this incident. This is not a small matter. I've spoken with Deon, and he has agreed to participate. I've also heard that this type of incident has happened before at the Omni, specifically involving Rob. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently, the attitude that was expressed to Deon was that Rob is one of the main people that operates (i.e. helps to reproduce and sustain,) the Omni, and as such, people basically go along with what he says and does. If this is in fact the case, then an accountability process is even more imperative. In no way should labor, and by proxy, "power" derived from labor, enable a person to act with racism against members of the Oakland community. I think it's in the best interest of the Omni to address this issue immediately, for Deon, for the Omni, and for the Omni's relationship with the greater community of Oakland. I believe Marc was present for part of this incident as well, and although I know, Marc is so busy doing vital work for Sudo and Omni, it might behoove him to also participate in this process, as a witness. I am writing this email not because I am trying to "cancel" or ruin anyone, but because I care about Deon, The Omni, Sudo, and the Oakland community at large. This issue seems indicative of larger problems, and if addressed with love and respect and accountability, could seriously benefit all parties listed above, and improve the Omni and it's relationship with Oakland. I'm not sure where to take it from here, as I am personally extremely busy with other community-based activities in Oakland right now, but a mediator/facilitator should be sought out, ideally a black person, but at the very least, a non-black poc, and probably someone that isn't personally involved in the day-to-day operations at Omni, sudo etc. If i am able, I could possibly be this mediator, but I hope other options are sought out first, because a.) I'm a non-black, mixed race poc, and b.) I have very little capacity at the moment. But please keep me in the loop regarding an accountability process for Rob, and I'll do whatever I can to help move this along and reach a fair and just conclusion. Sorry to bring such difficult news to you all, but I could not stay silent. With love and Solidarity, Scott

reinstate Rannette's good standing

by Brendan Reddy-Best

I said "your 'community' space," but honestly, I still want this to be my space, too. I hardly ever make a fuss about any of this stuff because it's all so futile, you know? but in this case, I really want to make my point clear: I think we should rescind our action against Rannette. I think she's been treated unfairly. Even if she is "aggressive" towards you or your compatriots, I don't think we need white dudes policing our space of black women's bodies. Matt, you claim to have acted in another's interest and you offer an injured third party -- let them speak for themselves, because I don't think it's your place right now. If there was a violent incident that threatened our space, let's hear it from a witness or an involved party. "Something Happened" is not good enough. Otherwise "but above all the Omni Commons must maintain a safe, welcoming environment" seems to fly directly in the face of the lived experience of too many black people.

Fwd: [Friends of Awe] $10k grants for creative action against voter suppression

by Cere Davis

Heads up. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Michael Garcia <michael.ryan.garcia(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 28, 2020, 11:23 PM Subject: [Friends of Awe] $10k grants for creative action against voter suppression To: <SF-awesome-friends(a)googlegroups.com> Hi folks, There are grants available (up to $10k) for creative projects to fight voter suppression. From an associate: *“Please tell people and orgs you work with who are in the creative activism game. *Or anyone who could come up with a creative, effective project to address the crazy voter problems that are happening all over the country. *We’re having an info session online at noon EST on Monday, Aug 31. *Zoom link <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83821567961?pwd=L2JaWFE4MGg4b1lIWEtoZkcydVVQdz09> . If you’re interested but don’t have a solid idea yet, do come. We’re looking to share and brainstorm together. Here’s a page with more info, and how to apply. We’re asking for *short letters of interest by Sept 2*. Quick turnaround time, but, we want to get these projects funded asap! https://c4aa.org/2020/08/were-funding-creative-u-s-election-projects We’re looking for creative projects that address the biggest voter suppression problems, like: - Lack of poll workers. - Barriers to voting by mail - lack of voter education on the logistics of voting during COVID, misinformation, disinformation. - Voting safely in a pandemic - how can we help people assess the real risk, minimize it, and/or quell uneeded fears that may stop them from voting - Outright voter suppression tactics, especially in Black and Indigenous communities and in communities of other underrepresented groups. - Preparing people for what happens *after*voting - polling indicates half the country may not trust the outcome for various reasons. Lawsuits, challenges, contested elections, and lots of tension are expected. *To combat them, we need artistic and creative projects that aim to:* - Keep polling places staffed. - Ensure that people understand how to effectively vote by mail, drop-off, or in person. - Empower people to confidently vote down-ballot in local elections - Ensure that people know that voting is relevant to the issues that motivated so many people on the streets in the past months (and years) - Monitor election boards and hold them accountable, so they can’t, for example, quietly close polls in communities of color. - Cultivate engagement, fun, humor, joy, and community around voting and elections. - Prepare people for the unknowns that will come after November. The focus is on states with a history of voter suppression and of special interest in this election: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, but others as well. If you know of projects or people who might be a good fit, please let them know. We’re excited to be able to fund great projects at this critical time.” -- Discuss things you feel awesome about.

blinded signing and free money for sudoroom

by Jake

if you had more than 15 github followers last april you can get $1300 in bitcoin by running these commands: https://www.namebase.io/airdrop you may not feel like $1300 is very much, but if that's the case then just give it to sudoroom :) something that's more interesting than that is the blinded signing (sort of) that they're doing using your ssh key (which is how they limit the money to people whose keys they scraped a year ago) is VERY applicable to Secure Polling System's need for blinded signing (although they're doing it to RSA keys) https://help.namebase.io/article/4vchu01mec-handshake-airdrop-101#why_does_… anyway, everyone who can should do this, and everyone should give money to sudoroom, and everyone should help develop secure polling system. -jake

Fwd: Urgent! Do you know how to use FileMaker? Or know someone who might know how to use it?! (Re: Sending out Questionnaires)

by Ed Biow

The Alameda Green Party could use a hand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileMaker Looks like it runs on Windows & MacO$. It sort of runs in Wine: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=337 Greg, I'm forwarding this to the sudoroom list, maybe there are folks there who know FileMaker and would be willing to pitch in. I don't do Windohs, but if you can't find anyone else to do this maybe I could take a throw at helping a little if I can get the trial version of "share"ware version to run under Wine in Linux. https://www.claris.com/trial/ https://downloads.tomsguide.com/Pro-FileMaker,0301-2492.html Notify me if you can't find anybody actually competent. Ed -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Urgent! Do you know how to use FileMaker? Or know someone who might know how to use it?! (Re: Sending out Questionnaires) Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 03:06:24 +0000 (UTC) From: Greg Jan <gregjan4(a)yahoo.com> To: Green Party of Alameda County Council <countycouncil(a)lists.riseup.net> All, It's now going to be very difficult for the person who has sent out most of our Voter Guide questionnaires for previous elections, for many years now, to again do so this year. So we now _urgently need to find one (or more) other people to help out with this_! It's currently set up in FileMaker, so it would be best to find someone who knows how to use that program, if possible. (Or -- you can use another program, or even do it "manually", if you'd like to). The deadline for questionnaires to be written and submitted to be sent out is Monday, August 3rd, and the candidate filing deadline is Friday, August 7th. We should therefore be able to obtain the candidates' official contact info on approximately Tuesday. August 11th, so questionnaires can be sent out just as soon as we've loaded that data into the program. (And we might even load in some "unofficial" contact info prior to receiving the official contact info). We ask the candidates to RSVP that they've received the questionnaire, but usually only about half of them do that, so you'll then send out the questionnaire again to the remaining candidates, and then after that you'll send a phone-calling list to our volunteer to telephone the ones who still haven't RSVP'd. And finally, at the "end of the process", when the deadline to return the questionnaire passes (about 10 days after they're sent out), for those who haven't yet returned it, you'll email them a notice to please return it right away, and then after that, another phone list for our volunteer to telephone them to please return their questionnaire. So -- _please reply back right away if you can help out with this_! /Or if you know someone who might be able to help (and who is "trustworthy"), please do ask them! / (Or of course, if you have any questions, please do ask!). Thanks so much!, Greg 510-644-2293

Help build a face mask testing rig?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Are you good at building electronic and mechanical gear? Want to help build a rig to test Covid-19 face masks and materials for filtration efficiency and breathability? We have a plan, and can contribute some funding to get the components. But we really *need someone to spearhead this project! If interested, please contact me at patrikd(a)gmail.com <patrikd(a)gmail.com>*, and we can sort out the logistics... People around the world are sewing DIY cloth masks, or buying N95 masks from dubious suppliers with little or no quality control. There is a big need for being able to test cloth materials and completed masks for filtration efficiency and breathability. But the official, professional testing gear costs around $90,000. The Smart Air folks in Beijing built this far more accessible testing rig, and used it to show that half of the N95 masks they sourced from different Chinese suppliers did not meet specs: https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/testing-china-kn95-n95-masks-supplement… [image: Smart-Air-N95-mask-test-setup-wind-tunnel.jpg] The Met One GT-521 particle counter that Smart Air used in their setup costs around $2000 new. But Adafruit sells a $45 Arduino-compatible particle counter module <https://www.adafruit.com/product/4632> that can measure down to 0.3 micron. A DIY version of this rig can probably be built for around $100 total. (Alternatively, a used Met One GT-321 <https://www.ebay.com/itm/Metone-Portable-Particle-Counter-GT-321-Used-/1139…> particle counter costs around $600. Or a PerfectPrime AQ9600 <https://perfectprime.com/products/aq9600> particle counter only costs around $200 new) The plan would be to do some research on which fans and pressure sensors to use, order some materials, build a test rig, document the heck out of it so others can replicate it (e.g. on Instructables or Hackaday), and start testing mask materials - maybe in collaboration with Rachel at Ace Monster Toys and the other folks in the Bay Area PPE group that are sewing thousands of masks right now. Our biggest bottleneck right now is that we need someone to lead the actual building. I definitely want to be involved, can help with the research and design, and am willing to put in some of my own money to buy supplies. But I'm also still 100% Working From Home for my day job and don't have the bandwidth right now to take this on by myself. Help wanted! Patrik

Wanted to share this short video of our first #TestThePeople action - kudos to Anka of LibLens for the videography and post-production work, par excellence! https://youtu.be/hgjjBBaAjlw Please reach out directly if you have ideas around 1) future actions we could support with pre- and post-action testing, 2) possible testing locations (eg; school or church parking lots - ideally outdoors, ideally with power), or 3) community org collaborations for popup COVID testing. <3 Jenny Ryan *Nonprofit Bookkeeping and Technology Consulting* 315.292.4656 | jennyryan.net On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 11:51 PM Jenny Ryan <jenny(a)jennyryan.net> wrote: > Discussed initially at tonight's 7/2/2020 Delegate's Meeting: > > Full proposal with amendments at: > https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13cJJh1HiQK5m8PC-diO7-D_jBjNudpRD?us… > > 2 July 2020 > > Name of Project: Test the People > > Address: 5700 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Suite 1531 > > Phone Number: 415.338.9306 > > Email Address: jenny(a)renegade.bio > > Website: https://testthepeople.org > > Legal organization form of Project: For-Profit Public Benefit > Corporation > Describe the proposed project. > > renegade.bio is a Queer-owned and -operated Public Benefit Corporation. > Founded in response to the pandemic, renegade.bio provides COVID-19 testing > to underserved communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. > This past Sunday, renegade.bio launched our first free public COVID-19 > testing event at #PrideIsARiot (see TestThePeople.org) > <https://testthepeople.org>. - we collected over 250 samples and > delivered results to patients within 24 hours.
