Re: [sudo-discuss] vending machine homing switch mystery solved

by Jake

bump! does anyone want to help get one or both vending machines working? This would be a great way to vend arduinos, ESP8266's, candy bars, and whatever else we want to sell to sudoers and others. Much of the work has already been done. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2016 17:42:06 -0500 > From: jake(a)spaz.org > Subject: [sudo-discuss] vending machine homing switch mystery solved > > so i've been working on the black sudoroom vending machine (vending1): > > https://sudoroom.org/wiki/hack-o-mat > > which had previously been hacked by students at UC Berkeley (i think) > > I believe it's a Snacktron like Emma and Ed's machine. > (unlike our brown vending machine which is a snackshop II) > pictures of their machine can be seen here: > http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/vend/ > > they had ripped out the original control unit, and wired it up with a > bunch of reed relays and an arduino.

I read the Articles of Association

by Captain Chesapeake

Hi all, I'm a new member. I'm excited to be a part of this community. There are great people and great resources in the space. I've also noticed that is kind of disorganized, cluttered, and the organization is broke! As a medium to long term goal I think it would be great to gain financial solvency and be able to start saving for larger projects as well as clean up the space and make it an amazing workspace with lots of working tools, spare parts, and workspace. I reviewed the articles of association and noticed a few roles that were not apparent to me in the meetings I've attended. For me the first goal of implementing change is identifying the leadership and working with them to build a consensus. Is there an existing facilitator, scribe, exchequer, and conflict steward? Thanks, David

Today's NB Privacy Hackathon: 7-10pm (come to RIOTcon in Oakland right before!)

by Steve Phillips

Hey there privacy hackers, The weekly privacy hackathons hosted at Noisebridge via the Cypherpunks Write Code <https://www.meetup.com/Cypherpunks-Write-Code/> meetup group are generally 4-10pm, but *tomorrow* (Saturday) it is *7pm to 10pm* (at Noisebridge). This is because of RIOTcon <https://riotcon.github.io/>, which I'm speaking at: RIOTcon (Radical Interactive Open Technology Conference) is a new > conference seeking to highlight the intersections between radicalism, art, > and technology. RIOTcon is from 11am till 5pm. My talk is at noon, and I'll be staying for the entire event before heading to Noisebridge for the CWC hackathon. More details about RIOTcon, including talk descriptions/summaries/abstracts: https://www.facebook.com/ events/2014315468855418/ I hope to see you all at the conference and/or the hackathon! --Steve P.S. *Of course* my talk is about Pursuance <https://pursuanceproject.org/> !

Stripe Subscriptions

by Kyle Mitchell

Following on from the finances discussion during last week's meeting... On manual review of our Stripe account, I see 36 monthly recurring dues subscriptions through sudo-humans for a total of $1,290 per month. There were a handful of accounts with failing transactions. (This tends to happen when a card expires or a number changes.) However, those accounts probably add up to <$100 per month altogether. If we expect, say, $1,200 per month actually paid, and our sole bill is to Omni, for $2,000, we are running an $800 shortfall. $800 over 30 people is $27 per. $800 over 15 people is $54 per. I've just updated my plan accordingly. As I recall, one of the big open questions from the meeting was whether Sudo pays any other recurring bills. We know we have insurance, and use utilities. It wasn't clear whether those are billed through Omni, and covered by the $2,000 per month, or not.

TAZ 3D printer needs a heating resistor

by Jake

our black TAZ "3" 3D printer doesn't work partially because its hotend resistor is burned out. Its hotend is a "Budaschnozzle 2.0" Here's a link to the nozzle: https://www.lulzbot.com/support/budaschnozzle-20 this is the parts list: http://download.lulzbot.com/Budaschnozzle/v2.0/Budaschnozzle_2.0_0.35noz_re… the part we need is: [ PC-RE0007 ] Heat Resistor, 4.7 Ohm this seems to be the sale page for replacement resistors: https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/heat-resistor but we can probably find one lying around, and maybe someone has thermally conductive epoxy for gluing one in? -jake

Treasure or trash?

Folks, a crony gave me a 6+1 DVD duplicator and a couple of external firewire DVD-RW burners, plus a laptop cooler pad dealer (see attached picture).

Removing bogus wordpress users

by Charley Sheets

Hi everyone, I am removing bogus-looking wordpress users, subject to my own discretion as to bogosity. One such account has the username part of the email address as "gcjrminsgbkbwbacdega". That kind of thing. If any real user finds that their wordpress account stops working, I apologize. Should that happen, please request a new account. Thanks for understanding. -- Charley

SUDO room scanner light replacement discussion thread

by jacques revera

https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3477 Jonathon Duerig (I believe he took over much from Daniel Reetz) responded that we have a 'hackerspace' model scanner and offered some advice. I asked if we could buy the "lighting system" parts of a 'quill' model and if it would be feasible to mount on our 'hackerspace' model. The logic is well put here http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/index322f.html?page_id=459 beginning with the sentence "Lighting for scanners is incredibly difficult to do right.

Omni annual meeting Jan. 18th - call for sudodelegate, nominating officers-in-training

by Jenny Ryan

'ello sudoers, Omni's annual board meeting is next Thursday (the 18th). Any sudoers interested in being a delegate and/or officer-in-training? Robb and I have been interchangeably sudo's delegate for quite some time. It essentially involves attending delegates meetings (1st & 3rd Thursdays from 7-9pm) and relaying proposals to and from sudo room via the mailing list and monthly meeting for consensus decision-making. Nominating "officers-in-training" was Laura's suggestion. Current officers are Lynn (president), Brian (treasurer) and myself (secretary). You'd work with us to learn how to keep Omni running in the day-to-day. I can say from personal experience that I've learned more over the course of the past three years than I have in any of my academic degrees and jobs - and the rewards of successfully hacking bureaucracy are especially sweet ^_^ Brian and I will be sending out a defined list of responsibilities this weekend. Additionally, I have invited the Sin Fronteras cafe folks to tomorrow's meeting-flavored party, but haven't heard back yet. Hoping one or more of them can make it to answer any remaining questions and we can get to know each other.

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A Thousand FREE Lithium Batteries For YOU

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Johny Radio <johnyradio(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 10:45 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A Thousand FREE Lithium Batteries For YOU To: Dorkbot-Blabber <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Hi all An energy company donated a hundred thousand barely-used lithium nanophosphate cells to my nonprofit org. We need places to store them! THE CELLS: These are industrial-grade A123 High Power Lithium Nanophosphate ANR26650M1A cells. They are authentic, strong and safe. They are 26650—same height as 18650’s, but fatter. Photos: https://image.ibb.co/dfD9XG/steve_freewire_sm.jpg https://image.ibb.co/ea0Cmb/A123_cells.jpg Battery specs below. THE DEAL: In exchange for storing a few boxes of batteries, we’ll gift you approx one- to two-thousand cells, free. You could build some power walls, power a bunch of bicycles and portable LED projects, etc. We need to move the cells within a week. Each box is approx 4’ x 2’ x 2’. If we deliver to you, plz store 9 boxes minimum (we’ll have to rent a truck). If you pickup, then fewer boxes is fine. Gift to you will be approx 1/10th of the cells you store. WHY YOU SHOULD HELP US J I founded a nonprofit org, to teach electronics to at-risk teens in SF. We teach kids in the hood to solder, drill, assemble, and more.

Each pack contains 100 cells. These packs were used in an installation with strict constraints, so they had to pull these packs from service at 75%-80% capacity. In reality, most of the cells in each pack are in great condition. You’ll want to break down the packs and pull the individual cells.

SUDO book scanner rig next steps

by jacques revera

IT was fantastic! meeting the SUDO room last Tuesday. I hope this is not too much detail *** Please tell me how... the best way for me to get in there Monday to be able to look over the sizes of the parts etc mostly bolts I will need to complete the base hopefully Monday. Any suggestions on hardware mounting cameras? We might need to mount/un-mount/align cameras for each session. The original mounting brackets were replaced(at some point) with blocks of wood with holes to accommodate various sizes and positions of cameras. (Does the below or some version of it need a wiki page?) 1-2-18, The Sudo room collective et al with Dany from Noisebridge and Jacques assembled SUDO's book scanner "base." See at diybookscanner.org "Book Scanner Rigs" a basic diagram and list of hardware (w/out lights & cams) - with lights & cams, could be called a "rig." I think the distinction is important introducing people to the concept: The base is essential for an operator to mount cameras (connected to a computer), as she flips the pages of a book, running the "capture" software because, the hundreds of images captured comprising the pages of a book should be aligned (as much as possible) similarly in 3 dimensions - so that "post-processing" software can determine what and where everything is to automatically align, process, OCR etc and then create a digital book. "After capture, you will have a folder full of images. Turning those images into an eBook is called 'post-processing'. What steps this actually entails depends on your needs. Some people want to compress things down as much as possible and extract the text of the book using OCR. Others just want to crop each image to the page and bind them into a PDF." diybookscanner.org/en/intro.html These two links provide images and discussion of this particular scanner. Someone dubbed the model: Reese 1.0 https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bookscanner https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Digital_Archivists (This diybookscanner.org/archivist is the "Reese 2.0" model named and sold as "The Archivist". Very similar to the 1.0 probably.) HERE IS WHAT I THINK IS NEEDED TO GET TO CAPTURING BOOKS AND MAKING THE BOOK SCANNER USABLE: 1. CLIPS TO LOCK DOWN TOP HALF TO BOTTOM If you watch "BETA DIY Book Scanner Kit Demo and Walkthrough" (the Reese 1.0?) https://youtu.be/a4-qMc2QSOw :54 seconds in "A third thing..." he explains why the design looks the way that it does - to allow for flipping the top half of the scanner to use a different scanning technique for small mass market type paperbacks which are bound tight - with tiny inner margins - which make them hard to scan on most kinds of scanners. Dany and I put a couple of screws in to make sure no one started flipping th the top because the glass platens are not clipped down very tight. 2. BASE handle bolt w/knob for attaching/adjusting 1 camera base bungee chords some other bits I will figure out Monday power strip bolted down with 6-7 recepticles 3. LIGHTING To get pages brightly and evenly lit requires a particular kind of light and other lighting etc to be blacked out. There should be a simple solution for the lamp needed. I will post the question to the forum this week. I can't get into reading through and examining all this: https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewforum.php?f=16 My initial thought on blackout is curtains and curtain rods are unwiely and I want to try making a simple heavy duty cardboard box spray painted flat black on the inside 3. CAMERAS Resolution needed is one issue. Control is another. Storage/security and availability are another. Jake said "I can donate two identical Canon digital cameras to this project." "The current camera recommendation is Canon PowerShot ELPH 160. These are 20MP cameras which work with Pi Scan <http://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan> and are still being manufactured." http://www.diybookscanner.org/en/intro.html 4. COMPUTER / SOFTWARE My thought at the moment is since different people have different goals requiring different software, I want to have mine loaded on my own macbook but am also interested in setting up a public computer for this. 5. SECURITY & STORAGE ? Jacques

Gift ideas for LOLspace?

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers! LOLspace, otherwise known as Liberating Ourselves Locally <https://oaklandmakerspace.wordpress.com/>, a POC-led makerspace in East Oakland that started around the same time as sudo and is now a project of the hella rad Peacock Rebellion <http://www.peacockrebellion.org>, recently purchased their building in Fruitvale <https://www.youcaring.com/thetenantsandthecommunity-773671> in tandem with EastSide Arts Alliance, Sustaining Ourselves Locally (SOL, a QTPOC-led food justice collective & garden), Cycles of Change bike shop worker coop, and Shaolin Life, a community temple and martial arts studio - as well as several residential spaces on the second floor. This is a huge win and I'm so stoked!! They're having a celebration on the afternoon of January 28th, and I thought it'd be rad if we could bring a gift on behalf of sudoroom :) Some ideas I was considering: * a sign or card drawn by the robot arm - and if card, signed by sudoers ^_^ * donating one of our sewing machines (they seem to be much more crafty than sudo) * donating a bunch of those phablets we got? or were they eee pcs? * some sweet outdoor lighting rig to make the sidewalk space more inviting and safe? Also: * a rooftop mesh node install! they're about a block from the houseless encampment that the City gave to The Village to build their first village of 2018 on. [this will happen, if they're down, regardless of a sudoroom gift] Anyone interested in collaborating on this? Other ideas, inspiration, do-ocratic gift-making welcome and encouraged :) <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.

Machine found stashed in a baffling spot inside the building, but found. I'm generally of a 'the fewer locked doors added to the world the better' mentality, but I'm digging the idea of the door. It would actually let us be more open in the front more often as well without having to worry as much about CCL and Sudo security, which would be good too.

Black jacket

Hi all, Has anyone seen a black North Face jacket? I forgot it at the weekly meeting some time ago. Sierk said he saw it, but it wasn't at the last seen location anymore. It's my warmest jacket, and I sort of miss it with the current weather :-) - Jan

Re: [sudo-discuss] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

by jacques revera

lockable should not be a problem. If noisebridge is donating one of the older designs, it would be framed with raw wood we can just screw some hinges and plywood in - to box it - to keep people from fiddling with the mechanisms. The cameras might need a more secure spot at the omni. Marc, Robb, Jake, I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. I am new to this list, the omni commons and the sudo room so please keep me straight on that. I am back in town Jan. 1 --- Tues Jan. 2 would be a good day for me to meet and begin - and maybe complete a plan and proposal if needed for the omni collectives.

I would like to talk with any folks who can collaborate or help establishing a book scanner in Oakland. I am talking about a complete system, finished, effective and quick. I myself need to be able to scan quantities of books several times a month easily.

But, what I am interested in is quickly completing setting up a fast stable system(or getting one donated or purchased) - and working with the projects and issues that begin at that point: starting with scanning lots of books. I have a huge number of books I need to scan for personal and political projects which have broader applications. I would prefer working on a system that could serve many people and needs - and I would be interested in being part of a collective working on getting books scanned and converted to accessible formats (particularly http://daisy.org) - but also interested in working on making the system available to more people and the whole thing accessible for the disabled.

Pineapple Fund

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers ~ If anyone has the spoons, sudo room should apply for some funding from http://pineapplefund.org/ I'm on vacation with family, already wrote one for Omni and People's Open and trying to launch the kitchen campaign <https://omnicommons.org/kitchen>, or I'd do it myself. It's really simple - just a one line description of the project and a paragraph on how we'd spend the $$$. Obviously, I think we should ask for ~$10-100K to build out a second level to the space, upgrade our equipment and supplies, and maybe funds for hard drives and screens and such so we can fix up broken laptops and distribute them to our many neighbors in need. There, I just basically wrote it for ya ;) just needs some polish! and I'm sure any one of you inventive souls have great ideas on what we could do with a lil BTC :) Also, I think we should launch a crowdfunding campaign next year, perhaps using BitGive's newly-released GiveTrack <https://www.givetrack.org/> platform. Sudo's never run a fundraising campaign in all of our 6 years of existence, and the time is ripe to finally do so and build upwards! <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christopher Schardt <atman(a)schardt.org> Date: Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 5:05 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs To: Dorkbot-Blabber <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Hi, So last spring/summer I had to replace all of Firmament's LED modules. Now I have 20,000 or so modules to give away. Most of them work, but I can't guarantee which ones will and for how long, since they were all treated badly by the Houston rains. Each bag contains 435 or 465 modules in strings. The strings are attached to the bird netting that made up Firmament's old canopy. There are JST connectors at both ends of most of the strings, and power taps at the end of every string. All wiring is 18ga. Each module contains a WS2801 chip and 3 5050 RGB LEDs. They run on 12VDC. You'll need a PixelPusher or other LED controller to make them do anything. First come, first served!

Launching a crowdfunding campaign to renovate Omni's kitchen this Sunday - help spread the word!

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings omninoms! For those not yet aware, Omni intends to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Sunday to raise funds toward renovating the commercial kitchen in the basement! *if you get the gist, you can proceed directly to the kitchen wiki page <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Kitchen> and/or peruse the CAMPAIGN ACTION KIT <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YRIoL5jlmgxZMBdLQibWNn39gD7wSLx-EgCBbdM…>* We need *ALL HANDS ON DECK *to help spread the word. In particular: - reach out directly to folks in your networks who you think would donate, and ask them if they could contribute when the campaign launches. pre-pledges help ensure successful campaigns. here's some sample text you can use <https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/kitchen-pre-ask> (tx be to julian!) - do you have any press contacts you could tap? we are drafting a press release <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T3xUefmfxntMbin02Nf--R4BsQslth2SZ7Vl7NA…> to be published on Monday after our soft 'community launch' and have zilch lined up so far - can you or your group offer (and follow through on) a perk/reward for certain donation levels? get in touch! - when we launch on sunday, help spread the word by sharing, retweeting, and sending to any and all relevant mailing lists! - do you have a spare hour or two to help with social media, press outreach, door-to-door flyering, graphic design (eg, a facebook cover image people could use?), making a short video or blog post, organizing an event, etc? join the kitchen working group mailing list <https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/kitchen> and/or attend the next meeting - Wednesdays at 6pm in the Basement Library! Check out the wiki page at omnicommons.org/kitchen for more info on the project, including the awesome campaign video <https://omnicommons.org/omnikitchen.mp4> produced largely by the ever-rad-Anka (and starring some of the most OG Food Not Bombs organizers!). -- more info:--- Given the holiday season, the extensive burdens on every activist's energy these days, and a host of other complexities and circumstances, we've decided to break up the campaign into 3 phases. For this first phase, our goal is to raise $15,000 - which will enable us to pull the permits, demo the walls for expansion of the area, and get most if not all of our plumbing work done. The subsequent two phases will have goals of $20K each - though by the end of this first campaign we hope to have a solid lead or two on a significant grant or donor. There are many dangling threads and the kitchen crew could definitely use more support to carry this off. Please do lend a hand, however which way you can!

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Updated Cafe Proposal

by robb

Following is an amendex draft of the the Sin Fronteras Cafe proposal ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Laura Turiano" <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Dec 19, 2017 5:03 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Updated Cafe Proposal To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Hi everyone, Here is the updated cafe proposal. Some things have been modified based upon the feedback received so far, most of which has been positive. If you have any feedback from your collectives, friendly amendments, questions, etc. it would be really helpful to have them before the meeting on Thursday. This will be the 3rd meeting at which the Cafe has been discussed, and the second since the proposal was submitted. Collectives all should have discussed it, and I hope we can consense on some version of it on Thursday so we can sign a lease beginning January 1st. If you are going to be the delegate on Thursday, please come prepared with your collective's response. Laura *Updated proposal to build and open a coffee bar, Cooperative Cafe Sin Fronteras, at Omni Commons* * Dear Omni Commons, Sin Fronteras Coffee is a worker-owned co-op created by Rocio Cervantes, and Jose Rodriguez from Akat Cafe <http://akatcafekalli.com>, a community space and sustainable cafe, and Michelle Gutierrez and Abad Leyva. Michelle is a therapist/photographer working for people of color in East Oakland. Abad is an independent filmmaker and founder of Encinal Oakland, a community organization fighting stigma and discrimination through multimedia projects. We propose to become an Omni Commons member collective and open a coffee/limited food location which will serve the North Oakland community and Omni Commons. Sin Fronteras Coffee will offer fair trade Zapatista coffee from Chiapas, and work directly with the farmers. We also see the need in our communities, where people struggle balancing a busy and poor life, for the cafe to be a model of dignified work at a living wage. Once established, Sin Fronteras Coffee will give to members of disenfranchised communities the opportunity to learn to run a sustainable, autonomous cooperative business. Our commitment to horizontal growth means that we will support and promote others to open similar small, worker-owned co-ops. Our proposal for Omni Commons: 1. Collective Structure. Worker owned co-op, new owners by invitation only. 1. Community Benefit. Cultural and political education and social events; support for events at the Omni with Cafe service; once we are established, youth internships. In the future, financial and business training to co-op members and employees. 1. Schedule. Proposed hours of operation (subject to change) 7:30am-5:30pm Mon-Fri and cafe service for events at Omni collectives with anticipation. We will establish a system to request cafe service during events. 1. Security. Conversation needed re. protection of equipment and safety after cafe hours. We will position equipment with safety in mind. We will consider increased security and protection of equipment, if needed, in a way that decoratively and artistically contributes to the space. 1. Source of Goods. We aim to serve organic and just trade coffee from Zapatista cooperatives in Chiapas, Mexico. All produce, pastries and dairy will be sourced through local suppliers 1. Community Market. Opportunities for Omni Commons collectives and other POC, Women Owned, Queer Owned businesses to showcase their products. 1. Lease details. 1. Parties: The Omni Commons (“Lessor”) Sin Fronteras Coffee (“Lessee”) 2. Premises: Omni Commons 3. Term: 2 years with 2 2-year options to renew. 4. Commencement: January 1, 2018 5. Use: Coffee/Limited Food 6. Base Rent: $800 a month plus approximately $250 utilities (garbage, PG&E, internet, water based on what other collectives pay). This rate gives 24/7 access to the building for cafe operations; and the ability to hold events in the Entrance Hall at the time the lease is signed. Free use of the Ballroom for occasional large events will be available at the end of the rental abatement period (see below). Lessee will pay property taxes levied on the Lessor by Alameda County due to its non-charitable status. Rent will increase by 3% annually. 7. Insurance: Lessee shall obtain general commercial liability insurance with liability limits not less than $1,000,000/$2,000,000 aggregate, a Waiver of Subrogation, and naming Lessor (Omni Commons) as an additionally insured. 8. Start-up Costs & Build Out: We estimate the build-out and improvement costs at approx $8,000. Omni Commons will abate our monthly rent for 6 months to help Sin Fronteras manage this initial investment. Sin Fronteras will begin paying for utilities from the time of lease signing. 9. Improvements: Lessee shall provide the following improvements, using building standard finishes, subject to a mutually acceptable space plan, and all applicable permits: - Coffee Bar - Plumbing and Electrical upgrades - Appropriate tile and floor finishing - Painting 10. Storage: Extra storage will be included, approximately 10 sq ft in basement . 11. Parking: Only street parking. 13. Security Deposit: Upon lease execution, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a security deposit equivalent to the last month’s rent. 14. Financials: Lessee will be responsible for funding of leasehold improvements.

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Omni Cafe Sin Fronteras Proposal

by Yardena Cohen

Hi Sudoers, please review this proposal to turn the entrance hall into a cafe. These are the same folks who run Akat Cafe in Eastlake - I strongly encourage folks to go check it out, as you'll get a good idea of what to expect. I think this will be very good for us. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 10:30 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Omni Cafe Sin Fronteras Proposal To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Delegates, Here is the proposal for the cafe in the entrance hall made by the folks who attended the delegates meeting about a month ago. Please read it, share it with your collective members, and discuss it at your meetings. At the delegates meeting tonight we agree that it would be a good idea for Jose, Abad, Michelle, and Rocio to attend collective meetings to introduce themselves and answer questions. If you would like to invite them to your collective meeting, please let me know. Thanks https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v2-MAjgzcb0QrEW0EsfrK_Bx3rLXxsKeeiJobUo…

Next week I plan on switching Omni's network to a new router. Like I said I would do ages ago. It should hopefully go quickly, but just in case, please plan on the internet being broken for a bit. Thanks!
