missing bicycles

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I got word that Max Cadgi can't find his bike which seems to have been removed from omni commons yesterday. I also had left a bike here last night (stupidly I left it unlocked in the sudo room) that is also now gone! If anyone sees a gold benotto 50th anniversary steel road bicycle frame, possibly still with blue handlebar tape or a blue tool bag on the handlebars, please let me know. cc'd max so he can describe his bike too. // Matt

Robot reassembly + biohackathon discussion in CCL today.

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Please come join us today at 2pm to reassemble our large OpenTrons lab robot. We'll also have a discussion at 1pm with folks from BioCurious on whether we want to spend thousands of dollars to participate in the iGEM synthetic biology again this year, or whether we are going to put together a parallel biohackathon for the DIYbio community.

Electrical work to help out with sudomesh/peoplesopen.net

by max b

A location that we're doing an install needs a little bit of electrical work before we can put some radios on their roof. Specifically, I think it would include: - Breaking out wire from some existing conduit outdoors and adding another section of conduit. - Installing a NEMA (outdoor weatherproof electrical/etc.) box. - Adding a breaker to the circuit breaker where the second line in the conduit would connect. This would be a huge help as this location has the potential to be a pretty awesome hub and we just need a little work to get it up and going. Thanks a bunch! Maxb

card access questions for Omni general membership

by Jake

As one of the people with the ability to edit the Front Door Magnetic Card Access System, I have a few questions for everyone to think about: What are our requirements for information kept on each card? This information is only available to people like myself with root access on the door control computer. I was going on the assumption that, for each card able to open the door, we should store the following information: 1. the name or nym identifying the person who will be using the card 2. a way to contact that person (phone number or email) 3. at least one affiliation with a member collective (sudo, CCL, BAPS etc) I have been seeing cards getting added to the records without #2 and #3 and I wonder if we, as Omni, thing this is a sustainable policy. Also, I don't know how many people have access to the door control computer, and access is presently anonymous. Is this something that should be more curated? We have a mailing list access(a)lists.sudoroom.org but I never get any responses from anyone on the list. thanks for your thoughts on this. -jake

Coming up at CCL!: CCL has a lab robot! Now what?

by Marina Kukso

hi all, one last thing from CCL - they now have a lab robot! if you're interested in learning more about this robot and possibly being a part of its assembly, operation, and programming, come to the protein modeling meetup this fri 1/29 at 7PM: http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228129282/ . in addition to protein modeling, this meetup will include discussion, plans, and next steps for the robot. Forwarded conversation Subject: [CCL] CCL has a lab robot! Now what? ------------------------ From: *Patrik D'haeseleer* <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 9:34 PM To: "cclmembers(a)googlegroups.com" <cclmembers(a)googlegroups.com>, " counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com" <counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com>, "cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com" <cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com> As most of you probably have heard, CCL acquired a large OpenTrons <http://opentrons.com/>lab robot (pics below), thanks to our friends at Arcturus Bio <https://www.arcturus.io/>. Which is awesome, except that we don't really have space for it, or anyone who knows how to run it at the moment. :-D If we are going to keep this beast, we should also put together a core group of people interested in care and feeding of a lab robot. *PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED!* There is a bit of a community around the OpenTrons platform, and I'm sure we could come up with some interesting applications. Unfortunately, the robot was too large to fit in the truck, so it had to be substantially disassembled to bring it over. So the first thing we should do it to reassemble it. But before we can do that, we need to *figure out WHERE to put it.* Couple of options: 1) Install it on one of the lab benches. This would take up most of a lab bench, plus some space next to it for the freezer. 2) If we lose the freezer, we should be able to cut down the axes so it fits on about half a lab bench. 3) We could find some place elsewhere in the building to put it - likely in the basement. Welcome to any other suggestions! Here's some pic of the robot in its full, functioning glory: And here's its current sorry state, disassembled and taking up way too much space: Patrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.

I have realized that it takes a lot of work setting up, deploying, testing and maintaining the software tools for the whole lab to benefit. I worked with three new tenure-track faculty during my PhD, and it took months of installing, scripting and debugging before the software tools could be put to work on projects, and longer to turn them into publications. Outside academia, it should take less time and work. At CCL and Biocurious, I have tried to help people with the CRISPR-CAS9 and Insulin, only to find out that I cannot do this by myself, even with the know-how. CRISPR-Cas9 is too large a protein to do much on a personal computer, and I do not have the required software to build a linker for the insulin project. So, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage volunteers who want to work on the robot or computational protein design to join me for a presentation on January 29th. The meeting is on Protein Structure, visualization, modeling and design <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228129282/> and it is on meetup.com. That will be the starting point for organizing volunteer efforts for the software side of the Counter Culture Labs. People of all levels of skill are welcome. I will provide papers, book references and guidance for those who are not experts and want to learn the fundamentals of the biophysics of protein dynamics and design.

I also submitted it to the funcheap website. I'll post it on CCL's Facebook and start marketing the class over twitter later tonight. I was planning to do a 2-week class marketing push anyways.

We could use some help making the class listing on Meetup a bit more attractive. I pasted in some images, but the meetup editor is rather minimalistic (no image resizing - really? ) I believe you can paste in from Word or a web page though, and it'll preserve some of the formatting that you cannot edit directly in Meetup (sigh)...

[Noisebridge] Hack the Left: An Anticapitalist Hackathon

by Jake

I am going to go to this, and hopefully get some work done on the Secure Polling System project. http://securepollingsystem.org if you are proficient at Go and/or Javascript and would like to help this project along, please contact me and/or come to this event! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:34:22 -0800 From: Brandon <brandonesbox(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] Hack the Left: An Anticapitalist Hackathon Hack the Left is an anticapitalist hackathon, February 5-7 at Noisebridge. This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and anticapitalist projects using technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Terrorism Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it. We also need people involved with left-aligned organizations, technical or not, to show up and help guide all the technical folks towards doing things that are actually useful. We want to build with, not for. More information and the answers to probably all of your questions, please check out the website, hacktheleft.com (redirects to the Noisebridge wiki page). Cost is a recommended donation of $15. In the unlikely event that this makes any money, it will be donated to Noisebridge.

omni vapor lounge coming soon? ;)

by robb

i've been having a brainstorm over the last two days that has led me to the conclusion that the best way for us to fundraise to save the omni might be to host 215 only (no alcohol) lounge nights. we could charge $20-30 and have different themes each night, i.e. hip hop, reggae, jazz, etc. the oakland dispensaries are not allowed to has lounges like in sf. we don't currently have a liquor license the oakland dispensaries that get busted for having lounges only get simple possession charges...even for having 30 pounds. anyone with me? ~r

radio gear for hacking

by Jake

isn't anyone interested in hacking radio anymore? start a pirate radio station or something. this is my ad: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/5413874550.html over a dozen high-power VHF radio transcievers from police cars and fire trucks, and some from relay towers (those are 2.1GHz) all powered by 12VDC and transmitting up to 150 or more watts, on various bands, mostly around 150MHz i think. Several types, mostly motorola brand. I don't have the wiring harnesses, expecting you would just use them as RF amplifiers since SDR transceivers are so cheap these days. Ideally you will take them all. Please write with questions.

#96Hours of direct actions this MLK weekend

by Karissa McKelvey

This is your chance to spend a few hours this weekend supporting local movements in support of equality for all people with #96Hours Direct Action Weekend organized with support from the Anti Police Terror Project. *Events* Friday @ 4pm: Interfaith processional in remembrance of Black Lives Oakland City Hall https://www.facebook.com/events/738319126299522/ Saturday @ 6pm: Say their names Oakland International Airport https://www.facebook.com/events/1958174034406838/ Sunday @ 4:30pm: San Francisco March for Tech Diversity and Equity Location TBD https://www.facebook.com/events/820417478080686/821227237999710/ Monday @ 11am: Second Annual March to Reclaim King's Radical Legacy Oscar Grant Plaza https://www.facebook.com/events/1541563859495909/ #96Hours event page https://www.facebook.com/events/1637988586490486/ *Description* “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism” -Martin Luther King, Jr. Over the last year, in the Bay Area alone, there have been dozens of police murders. In San Francisco, we have most recently seen the brutal execution of Mario Woods, in addition to police beating a disabled man in front of the Twitter building and racist text messages exchanged between SFPD on-duty officers. In Oakland, we have seen 8 Black men murdered by police since only June of 2015. In fact, a recent graphic by Mapping Police Violence shows that in 2015, Oakland ranks third in police killings per million people in 60 of America's largest cities. (https://www.facebook.com/ photo.php?fbid=10206329825138680&set=a.1214863845917. 33741.1058446890&type=3&theater) Police are the shock troops of gentrification. Mayors give them a mandate: make this city appealing to developers by any means necessary. City Councils fund police and constantly seek to expand their numbers and their powers. As a result, people of color are being pushed out of cities at unprecedented rates, by an out of control rental market, increased police occupation and terrorism against communities of color, as well as crackdowns on those who dare protest these unjust policies. A year ago, people across the country began taking to the streets in unprecedented numbers; storming shopping centers, blocking streets and highways, interrupting cultural events and public transit. And the people SHUT IT DOWN. We SHUT IT DOWN because there is a state-sponsored war on Black, Brown, and other marginalized peoples in the United States. WE SHUT DOWN BUSINESS-AS-USUAL because business-as-usual is an out-of-control epidemic of police terror. Last year, in partnership with comrades and allies, APTP launched 96 Hours of Direct Action in the Bay Area, and answered a national call to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy which we did through a march that brought over 7,000 people into the streets of Oakland. We believe it is important for our movement to draw on King’s legacy to ground ourselves, to reinforce our conviction and confidence in the tactics and strategy of disruptive direct action. A year later, while we are starting to have an impact, we also see that we have a long long way to go. So this Martin Luther King Day weekend, Oakland’s Anti Police-Terror Project* is calling on you to help us SHUT IT DOWN - again. Together, we will unleash the vast creativity and organizing capacity of our communities to produce a spectrum of disruptive and creative activity. In the spirit of MLK, we want these to actions to meaningfully interrupt business as usual whether that be with direct action, teach-ins, concerts or prayer vigils and to do so with action logic that links our resistance to fighting racism, economic injustice, and imperialism. We want you to plan these actions independently, but together we will coordinate collective support for these actions through a spokescouncil so that they have maximal support and impact. The weekend will once again culminate in a King Day march that embodies the true spirit of King's resistance to capitalism, imperialism and racism: https://www.facebook.com/events/1541563859495909/ RSVP and Invite your friends! Check out the web site for more about APTP's vision: http:// www.antipoliceterrorproject.org/new-events/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antipoliceterrorproject.org%…> WE DEMAND: The resignation of Mayor Libby Schaaf The immediate termination of Chief Sean Whent The immediate termination of Chief Greg Suhr The immediate termination of the officers involved in the murders of Richard Perkins, Mario Woods, Yuvette Henderson, Amilcar Lopez, Alex Nieto, Demoriah Hogg and Richard Linyard The immediate reallocation of city budgets: reduce police budgets and reallocate those funds to provide for affordable housing that allows Black, Brown and other people of color to remain in San Francisco and Oakland. This year, we shut it down in the names of: Yuvette Henderson Nate Wilks Richard Perkins Richard Linyard Demoriah Hogg Yonas Alehegne Amilcar Lopez Mario Woods Alex Nieto #mlkshutitdown #96hours #reclaimMLK

Awesome Foundation Oakland looking for trustees

by Mitch Altman

I've been a trustee of the SF chapter of the Awesome Foundation since it started in the summer of 2010. Since then we've given a $1,000 grant, no strings attached, to over 60 awesome projects that people have submitted to our website. There's a new Oakland chapter starting up, and they're looking for trustees. Here's what's required to be a trustee: * a sense of awesome * put in $100 per month * the ability to read through lots of projects once a month and show up to a meeting to consense upon an awesome project with the other 9 trustees The Awesome Foundation is not an "official" non-profit. It's totally anarchy. There are over 80 Awesome Foundation chapters around the world. Collectively we've given away $1,875,000 to 1,875 projects since 2010. http://www.awesomefoundation.org/ If you're interested in being part of the new Oakland Awesome Foundation chapter, please email me off-list. Best, Mitch.

a warm place to hack

by Jake

we are all starving for a warm place to hack, and sudoroom attendance is reduced for obvious reasons. what we need is a warm room to hack, and i propose the following: we tarp above the server balcony of sudoroom, and seal the whole thing like a room. To enter from the steps you have to pull back a magnetically sealed thing or maybe we can make a hinged door thing, i don't know. all the heat from the servers (and people hacking in there) will be conserved and it will be social in addition to being warm. I have some lighting that might be appropriate, to help people feel like they're in the sun, as well as providing warmth. also it will be a nice chance to clean up that area and move things around and make it a hacking zone again. HOW CAN I HELP? if you have tarps or sail material or blankets or rope or anything you think could be used to close off the area, let's talk about it to see if it will work. If you bring it in on your own I hope you install it too - it might take some carpentry or something to have places to attach it. I think the ceiling should be about 10' high, or whatever it takes to enclose the eastern shelves up there and securely seal to the wall. if you know what any of the stuff is upstairs, and think you can clean up or move things elsewhere, please do that. We have a lot of printers and I don't know which ones are good or bad, and there are a lot of stereo systems and computers up there that maybe need to be put back into inventory, or put in the e-waste pile. also it's really dirty and dusty up there, so if you know where is a vacuum and/or brooms/dustpans please help get it clean up there. please write back if you think this is a good idea. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] a warm place to hack

by Ed Biow

It sounds like kind of a noisy, hellish place, what with the server noise, the claustrophobia, to say nothing of the high density of geeks, but I guess I'm pretty well insulated so I'm failing to see the charm. That typed, I do have a truck for transport, and a few spare tarps left over from Occupy as well as some spare lights and power strips that would be required to make such a place semi-habitable. Give me a holler if and when you want this to happen.

Friends of Goto to gather sat 1/9 @ 7pm

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Please join me this Saturday 1/9 at 7pm at Omni Commons to share and reflect on the untimely passing of a good friend. I'd really like to discuss informally with others some ways to respond to this situation in our community. For anyone who had the privilege to meet Goto during his brief visits to Omni Commons and Sudo Room this fall, I have some sad news: On November 14th of 2015, Goto and another person were found off the 101 in Richardson Grove near Garberville. They had been ejected from a car that came off the highway heading North. The highway patrol was unable to identify which of the two men were driving and no criminal charges were pursued. Goto was found deceased on the scene, the other person was seriously injured and transferred to a hospital. According to the Humboldt County Coroner I spoke with, this second person was in a coma and probably did not come out of it. The CHP was not willing / able to provide me with any contact information of this other person or their family, and I have been unable to proceed further on this thread. I was also informed by the Coroner that there was alcohol found in the blood of both victims. The CHP reported alcohol was found in the car as well. It is certainly unclear what exactly happened, what precisely led to this crash, but regardless, this is a very sad tragedy, and most importantly, Goto will be sorely missed. For those that did not know him, you are very welcome to join and learn about a dear friend and comrade who has left us in body, but not in spirit. Love and solidarity, Matt Senate

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Application for membership - The Mess

by Jenny Ryan

New Omni member application! We can discuss it at the Wednesday meeting. Cheers, Jenny ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 12:07 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Application for membership - The Mess To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Renée <rmlevesque(a)gmail.com>, "Sang S. Kim" <sangkimsf(a)gmail.com> *Hi everyone, The Mess Sketch Comedy Troupe had rehearsals here a month or so ago. They love the space and what we are doing and decided to apply to be a member collective. They will be at the delegates meeting on Thursday to answer questions. Please discuss their application with your collectives. * 1. Mission Statement THE MESS is a theatre troupe and collective of writers, dancers, singers, actors, and mischief makers who are out to do comedy that is a reflection of the Bay Area’s diverse culture. 2. Origin and Group History THE MESS is a sketch comedy troupe based in California's East Bay with writers, dancers, singers, actors, and mischief makers from all over the globe. In Fall 2011, Renée LeVesque and a group of theatre folks began hosting a weekly pirate radio show on Radio Valencia in San Francisco. What they quickly discovered is that doing live action theatre was their real passion. They began asking the question, what if instead of trying to convince a big theatre to do a show we liked, we just did our own show with people whose work we enjoyed? What if we cast people who were not only great actors, but willing to take risks and perform parts they normally wouldn’t get cast for? What if we created a room for comedy writers that was welcoming, where they could collaborate on scripts rather than compete for stage time? The group rented space for trade at Chez Poulet, a warehouse in San Francisco’s mission district. They rehearsed, pooled their resources, and on Valentine’s Day 2012 put on their very first show at Stage Werx SF. As of 2015, the group has moved to the East Bay, expanded its troupe to include over 30 performers, directors, writers, and designers. Each show is a collective effort with each member contributing to the performance from its creation to final bow. Everyone works, everyone participates, everyone has a seat at the comedy table with a focus on performances that celebrate the Bay Area’s diversity, and create immersive comedic experiences with a lean toward the theatrical. 3. How would you participate in and contribute to the Omni? THE MESS would like to be the house performance troupe at The Omni Commons. To us that would mean participating in open houses, community outreach and any other collective activity that The Omni hosts. We would also have representatives participate in improving/repairing the Ballroom Space, the Disco Room, and helping to maintain the other common spaces. THE MESS would also host workshops, classes, and performances at The Omni to increase interest and appreciation for the space itself and for the collectives that call the Omni home. 4. How does your collective support itself financially? What would you be able to afford in rent? THE MESS sells tickets to each show at the rate of $15 plus (sliding scale). Our ticket sales average 40- 60 people per performance. We plan to use ticket sale revenue to help the Omni with its expenses. At present, we can afford $300 per month total plus a share of the common expenses such as utilities. If we are able to increase programing in 2016 (shows, workshops, etc.), we would be able to discuss contributing more. 5. What are your space needs, especially for dedicated (locked or not shared) space? Ideally, we would like to steward, share and help improve and maintain the Disco Room. Essentially, our typical needs are average 3 to 4 nights a week in the evenings from approximately 6PM to 10PM. In addition, we would volunteer to help coordinate the calendar for other events that the Collective, Delegates and Commons wish to hold in the Disco room. Improvements, we would like to build include a locked cabinet (approx. 8 feet x 8 feet) in the Disco Room to store equipment, props, and costumes. Any other improvements we can help assist to support the Omni in renting out the space to other groups in the community. 6. Statement of Solidarity We, The Mess agree and are committed to the Omni Collective’s shared political vision of more equitable communing of resources and meeting human needs over private interests or corporate profit. If accepted as a member collective, we promise to adhere to the Collectives’ solidarity and anti-capitalist political perspective. The Mess has always and will continue to practice openness, diversity and community through the arts and in general practice. 7.

Sucks that it won't be wheelchair accessible. Maybe once all the able-bodied people have been collected into one corner, we'll stop blocking the aisles with junk in the rest of the room. :)

Hardware Hacking Tuesday sub this week?

by Jake

I am having a busy week this week, and I wonder if anyone is available to host Hardware Hacking Tuesday at 7pm in case I am late or unavailable. It's easy, you just say hello to new people and tell them about the space, and help them find things if you know how, and introduce people if you think it makes sense. You just have to be able to show up on Tuesday by 7PM and you can leave at 10 or 11 if you want. thank you -jake

need power strips for sudoroom

by Jake

this is a simple request. If you have extra power strips, we could use them at sudoroom. presently the 3d printer desk does not have enough outlets, and neither does the computer building station to the right of it (the red standing desk thing with the KVM switch and the CNC machine) also if you have those plastic UPS things we can use those too, even if their batteries are no good. power strips can be left on the main table and we'll put them to work. thank you! -jake

It was somebody who recently became a Sudoroom member, and tried to subscribe to the members list. Then you got an email because you're an admin of the members list. Then you leaked their personal email by forwarding it to sudo-discuss. You should not do that. As a list admin, people are trusting you not to do that. Do you want to be a list admin?
