Hey Sudo! Hope you are all well and the Omni is working out the kinks of starting something new. I'm writing because Positive News, the newspaper I co-create, is looking for support in making a program that will bring together 100 positive news items per day. I've cc:d our editor, Ilonka, on this so please reply all if you are interested in connecting on this. The first thing we need is to figure out how to speak about the project on a technical coding level. Feel free to pass our contact on to other programers/hackers who might be interested in working with us. Thanks for making the world better, Kazoo * Kazoo Studios * <http://www.etsy.com/shop/kazoostudio>

Sudo Room "Rummage Sale Game"

by Matthew Senate

*Game ends at: 10am Sat, 9/19* There's only three rules!!! 1. Find *something* in sudo room that almost never gets used. 2. Determine if it's *valuable* to pretty much anyone (or pretty much anyone who would show up to the *Omni Commons Rent Party* https://omnicommons.org/rentparty ;) 3. If it's valuable, *guess a price* and give it to me (Matt) to sell at the rummage sale! Just follow steps 1 through 3, rinse, repeat, and you'll finally be free of lice -- I mean free of stuff sudo room doesn't use. // Matt

I think "preliminary consensus" means yes, a shorter trial period would be better than nothing. It would keep them at the table long enough to continue building a relationship, and if they reject this offer because it's not a full year, at least we come out looking reasonable. Even if LM doesn't end up accepting a shorter period, I think the symbolic weight of the Omni community consenting to this shorter period would go a long way in mending our community fractures and keep our community from falling apart. I also think 2 or 3 months would look a lot better than 1 month, which is only four services. Would you block 2 months?

It occurs to me that 3 months would be October 1 - January 1. It would kind of suck to leave a church in limbo right around Christmas and New Years. Maybe the end of January makes more sense. But that's 4 months.

Becoming Omni schedule and tentative agenda

by Laura Turiano

Friends, Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey on the meeting schedule for Becoming Omni. Results show that meeting on 3 consecutive Sundays is the first or second choice of most people, and no one put it as their last choice. Given that, the schedule for the 3 workshops and tentative agenda will be: *Sunday, October 4* 10am - 1pm: Introductions to each other and the process/agenda; What is the purpose of the Omni Commons? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: What values are we all holding in our work at the Omni Commons?; What are our current patterns of working together and what changes can we make to improve them?; What do we want to see going on or in place in 3 years as a result of our actions? In other words, what is our vision? *Sunday, October 11* 10am - 1pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th; What is blocking us from achieving our vision. In other words, what are the underlying contradictions? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: How do structures of oppression reinforce the underlying contradictions, and how might anti-oppression work help overcome them? What can we do to deal with the contradictions and realize our vision? What do we need from each other to be able to be successful? *Sunday, October 18* 10am - 6pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th and 11th; some elements will need to be decided when we know the outcomes of the previous workshops, but most of this day will be developing the concrete actions we need to take to achieve our vision, and making a work plan on a time line. Hopefully, we can complete all this on schedule. If not, the work plan can be finished afterwards in separate meetings with the collectives and working groups. We will work on having remote participation, probably through Google Hangouts. While participating remotely is better than not participating, it can't completely replace actually being in the room. Let us know if you would like to help with this. We are also planning for childcare. The next meeting of the design team is this Sunday the 20th, 3-6pm. Please join us if you want to help organize the 3 workshops. If you are unable to attend all the workshops, but can choose which to attend, the first day is the most important as it sets the foundations for the rest of the work. That said, if possible, please try to attend all 3. Please forward this to your collective! Love, Your facilitation team

Would you also block a 3 month proposal? 1 month? 1 week? What's the magic number? Thank you.

total idea: when we rent out the omni ballroom, a worker owned cooperative with valet parking

by Romy Ilano

since we have no parking here at the omni, when we pass fire code and rent out the ballroom there could be a total worker owned cooperative /collective that does valet parking they could even do services like washing the car --> i do not have the energy to start this but i thought it'd be a nice thought since people always complain about the lack of parking here. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Request to enjoy also your hospitality ;P

by Gotomancer

Hello SudoRoom crowd, I'll be taking off from Thailand in your direction and I would love to meet you! My plan is not to miss the Rent Party, and hopefully make it part of my birthday ;P The thing is that I'll be landing the 18th morning. Actually, I'm going to append here the message I sent to your member I found in C$ but has moved to Minnesota (at least most of it ;) >> ------ 'been reading your profile and you sound exactly like the kind of guy I want to meet there. Last year I read Little Brother and Homeland and that's the kind of crowd I like. I'll be landing in SF the morning of the 18th. I just realized that it will be my birthday! wow! I've never been in the American continent, so that would be a nice present! I helped funding a hackvillage in Catalunya 4 years ago (Ca la Fou <https://calafou.org/en>), and been a squatter in England. As I said before, this will be my first time in America, in the States and California!! It sounds amazing. I never really wanted to go to that country, but that area has a different aura. Many generations of activist, hacklabs (I know you call them hackspaces in there), coops, universities, technology... I don't know how long I'll be around there, but the main purpose is to go farming, if you know what I mean ;P Maybe you have some contacts also. So, will you be able to host me some days? ------- So that's how I got to know you, bouncing from info to info till I found out 'bout the SudoRoom. I've seen that you have Linux evening the 18th. Maybe you can convince me to switch back from Ubuntu back to Debian, now that Jessie is out. Anyway, the "please host me" request is still open. I'll be seeing you! Goto

does anyone know about the nyc network of worker cooperatives?

by Romy Ilano

http://www.nycworker.coop/policies#policies1 does anyone know about the nyc network of worker cooperatives? are the nobawc or omni folks connected to these people? I guess they are workers' cooperatives, not collectives. Just curious, they seem larger & more plugged into the government and employ people. I know someone who works with them -- would love to help make connections between SudoRoom, the Omni and the greater cooperative good. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

help this guy with his quantum fountain art project

by Jake

seems legit. anyone interested in helping this guy? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2015 19:56:45 -0700 From: Leo Madrid <leomadrid(a)gmail.com> To: jake(a)spaz.org Hello Jake, I retrieved your email address from the Sudo Room website. I'm in kind of a bind on an art project and am seeking some hacking assistance. I'm an artist, curator, consciousness researcher and novice inventor with a few designs for works of art that include quantum digital signal processing (electron tunneling). The signal emanates from a devise called a Random Event Generator and I need to use this signal to control a water pump with a digital controller (photos attached). The REG data is collected on an EEPC running Windows XP. I have the SDK for the REG and have installed the API and other files suggested by the manufacturer. All seems to be well with the PC and I am able to read and collect data, but for some reason I can't allocate a Com Port to an external devise and it will not recognize either of my controllers. Our challenge now is to create a pass-through signal from the PC to the pump via one of our controllers. I have a custom sensor controller that has an Arduino and Linix system computer combined on the same circuit board as well as a Raspberry Pi. My question is this; would it be possible to connect with you or another someone who is versed with this technology to help walk me though the setup? I know there is a HardwareHackNight on Tuesday but unfortunately I'm scheduled to work, but you can count on seeing me at future nights. I would be happy to come there any time but Tuesday night, or someone could come to my shop in West Oakland. I don't have a lot of money but if we could solve this issue I would be happy to make a donation to the Sudo Room or pay a consulting fee to whomever was of assistance. The exhibit we're preparing for is this Sunday and were planning on having the fountain up and running by Thursday. I'm confident that a person with the right skill-set could figure out this obstacle in just a few hours. Our project has recently gained the attention of local News as well as one of our team members being recently interviewed by the BBC. With success, we may get a followup feature story with the BBC. With success, we'll be making art and technological history. Any response would be appreciated. Leo Madrid Curatorial Director The P.e.a.c.e. Museum People Evolve As Consciousness Expands

Please read and comment. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Novotny <novotny.stephen(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 11:26 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Newly Revised Proposal for Liberation Ministries - Please take back to your collectives To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> To enter the consensus process at this weeks delegates meeting, Sept. 17th. Please take back to your collectives so that we're prepared to engage in this process with representation from all groups. Please respond here with any further questions or feedbacks so we can further this process with due diligence. Thanks. --------- Liberation Ministries (LM) has requested that we move forward with a consensus process this Thursday, Sept. 17th. They feel that it’s essential for them to have a space to begin their work and so they must begin investing their time elsewhere if the Omni cannot come to at least a preliminary consensus to move forward with their request for space on Sunday mornings and Friday evenings. They feel that while there may be many questions and concerns, it will be most productive for us to get to know them through the concrete work they’ll begin doing once they have a commitment from us to let them use the space. In short, they feel like their hands are tied, having spent considerable time already in our process without any commitments, while they need to move forward immediately with concrete results if they’re to live up to what their work promises: working in the community, providing for the needs of others. Summary The purpose of this proposal is to create a formal relationship between LM and the Omni Commons. Cheryl Ward is the pastor of LM, which has a small existent following seeking to start a new congregation and grow into a larger ministry. They’ve yet to hold their own Sunday services, which is essential to their growth, because they don’t have a building. They intend to begin their services in the Omni and grow from here. LM at this time is content with being considered a tenant or some other form of relationship that provides them with a level of commitment from the Omni for their use of the requested space. They’re confident that their ability to collaborate and contribute to the space will manifest, whether they become a collective member now, later or never. As they’ve stated in their application, they’re not interested in creating a “social club,” they’re interested in expanding their involvement in the community by meeting the needs of those in the community. Their use of space in the Omni is meant to provide a safe space for their congregation to welcome newcomers, to develop their vision and to gather the basic necessities required to provide for the community outside the building. To find out more about Cheryl Ward, who is the leading pastor of Liberation Ministries, check here: http://cherylwardministries.com/about_us Terms of Agreement Open to being a collective member, a tenant or reserving their use of space and access through the Commons wg. It’s up to Omni delegates to decide on how to move forward with processing these Terms of Agreement - Seeking commitment of 1+ years - Use of space - Host a congregation / religious service on Sunday mornings from 9am-11am - Open to meeting in rooms that suit the size of the congregation, especially as the congregation is still forming. - Ideally in ballroom with use of piano and other instruments, but can be occasionally flexible to shift to other locations in the building (such as Disco Room or Basement). - Host youth activities and discussion nights on Friday evenings, including collaborations with Peralta College students and Material Print Machine - Access to a private space or office for conversations / consultation / administerial work - 24/7 access to the building to conduct the above Concerns Expressed by Delegates in Previous Meetings 1. Their use of the space on Sunday would limit our ability to provide this space for others - We followed up regarding this concern with the Commons WG and learned that Sunday morning during the time from 9-11ish (am) when Liberation Ministries would have service has seen only six events since last November 2014 when the Omni Global calendar started being used - Two of these were all day events--Capoeira and a "Fundraiser for Legal Fees". - Of the other four, three were short two-hour rehearsals and one was something called "Love Chapel" - Three of the six events started at 11am - There were a few more events that were in the Ballroom starting at noon on Sundays, but not many - And Sudo Room hosted in the ballroom: - Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces (BACH) Unconference Sept 25-26, 2014 that started at 10am on Sunday - https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Bay_Area_Consortium_of_Hackerspaces/September… 2. They’re religious values will conflict with Omni’s Statement of Solidarity and Safer Space Policy - Cheryl has continually stated that *LM is aligned with our SOS and SSP* - Cheryl has made it clear that LM would not seek space in the Omni if they didn’t recognize the potential for collaboration between LM and the other groups in the Omni. She wants to make clear that it would not be in the best interest of LM to begin building ministry in a place that they didn’t feel would foster the growth they’re seeking - There’s been many lengthy emails posted on the LM Omni email discuss thread in defense of liberation-based Christian congregations and pastoral practice. Liberation Ministries is a black-led organization coming to Omni with need for space, so that they can begin to work in the surrounding community - Our SOS calls for us to prioritize the needs of such an organization, even if they conflict with some of our personal views on religion, etc. - Furthermore, stated in our SSP, Omni is dedicated to being “inclusive‭ ‬of‭ ‬the‭ ‬largest‭ ‬number‭ ‬of‭ ‬contributors,‭ ‬with‭ ‬the‭ ‬most‭ ‬varied‭ ‬and‭ ‬diverse‭ ‬backgrounds‭ ‬possible,” which includes being a welcoming environment for all especially with regard to religion (or lack thereof), among other inclusions - LM welcomes the involvement of other religious or nonreligious groups or individuals in their ministry - For LM, ministry is social justice work 3. What is the governance structure of LM? - As Cheryle stated in the 8/27 delegates meeting, “we share governance. not a hierarchy. it's about input from everybody and we collectively make a decision. majority votes on the directions we go in, what we do, how we do” 4. What work will LM be doing and who will they be working with? - Welcomes our neighbors in the surrounding area of Temescal and North Oakland to the Omni - Very much in line with our founding vision and Statement of Solidarity to support low- to middle-income black families, working with youth, working with those most marginalized - Tangible anti-gentrification work, providing an inviting space for organizing those most affected - They have offered to help with specific elements of building maintenance and upgrades in the Omni - Liberation Ministry’s Original Proposal for Collective Membership (this included here for reference, see Terms of Agreement above for revised proposal/request for use of space at Omni) Liberation Ministries is a new church led by Pastor Cheryl Ward. We are seeking a space to have our Sunday services and where we can participate in a community working for social justice. 1. Mission statement We endeavor to be change agents in our local community and globally, and turn whatever space we are in into a change agency. Our commitment is to transforming lives. We do ministry but it's not a ministry unless we are transforming lives. We are not a traditional church. We welcome EVERYBODY. The core of it is love. Our goal is to be loving and non-judgmental. We have trans, same sex loving, black, white, asian, Latino, Native American members etc. 2. Origin and group history Cheryl has 36 years in ministry, community organizing, and activism, and has pastored 3 churches. This is a brand new congregation in formation, looking for a place to hold Sunday worship services and committing ourselves to social justice activism in the city. There is a board of directors of five members, who operate under a shared governance policy. As a general rule, Cheryl and at least one of the board representatives will meet regarding building issues. 3. Participation in the Omni We see the richness of the collective and the opportunity to really transform this neighborhood, as well as to bring the community into the things that are going on here. How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? 9-12 on Sundays for services (in the ballroom); an office space if available (potentially the room next to Phat Beets; some private space for counseling sessions (same room); use of a space every Friday nite for a hangout for teens (any available space in Omni. We are willing to be flexible about sharing the available spaces with others. Offering big flat screen TV abt 46" and a floor model big screen t.v. for shared use and use with teens for movies, videogames etc. Just brought a Hammond B3 Organ to the Omni for shared use. Working on obtaining other musical instruments. Brought 6 additional pews to the Omni. We will actively conduct a door-to-door campaign to meet neighbors and inform them of our presence and find out the needs of the community. 4. Group finances and paying rent What does your group do to support itself financially? Write grants, Sunday offerings, and contributions from supporters What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? Rent $250 - $300 a month to start but we can negotiate an increase once revenue generation of the above begins. 5. Dedicated space Office desk and filing cabinet. 6. Other contributions to the Omni - Help with cosmetic maintenance like painting. - We can use our relationship with the Conservation Corps to invite them to come in to help on building work. - Help make vending machines now in CCL happen with snacks for the teens who come to our Friday night event Work with MPM and BAPS. - Cheryl has a collaboration with Peralta Colleges and would seek to have a printing press class. Printing of items and books could serve as a source of revenue generation. Young people could could learn and get credi. - Talk to paint store (Frazee) about using their parking lot on Sundays or other times. 7. Additional We would be here to be a contributor, not to subtract anything from the Omni. If we're not contributing we don't need to exist. _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Liberation Ministries Proposal to Omni Commons -- Matt recuses himself, seeks another delegate

by Matthew Senate

tl;dr, *I need to recuse myself as sudo room delegate from the Liberation Ministries proposal (details below):* Hey all, I've cc'd Sudo Room's Omni-Delegates list (our email list for people who have been consented upon to act on behalf of Sudo Room as a delegate in the Omni Commons delegates council). I do not think I am capable of getting through the emotionally-charged issues necessary to act on behalf of the sudo room when it comes to the discussion of Liberation Ministries collaborating with the Omni Commons. While I am still willing and able to act as sudo room's delegate for other proposals and at other times, I need to recuse myself from this proposal in particular. I will attend the next sudo room meeting on Weds 9/16 as well as the next Omni Commons delegates meeting on Thurs 9/17, but will not be representing the sudo room when it comes to the Liberation Ministries proposal. *If sudo room members find it important to participate in this part of the process, then another member of sudo room who is approved to act as an Omni Commons delegates needs to represent the sudo room instead.* You can read the most recent version of this proposal submitted to the omni-consensus email list today (Thurs) around 5pm. It should be reviewed this week and formally discussed during the next (coming) Thurs 9/17 @ 7pm. // Matt p.s. "Active non-Member" is a bit confusing language, but essentially this not a proposal to become a Member-Collective, but instead a different kind of formal commitment, backed by some form of legal document(s) [such as rental contract(s), tenant (non-member-collective) sublease, etc]. The text of the current proposal follows: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Novotny <novotny.stephen(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 5:07 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Liberation Ministries Proposal to Join Omni as an Active non-Member To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org This proposal is being sent out so that it can be discussed for consensus at next week's delegates meeting. Please take it back to your collectives and discuss so we can move forward. --- After conversations following the August 27th Delegates Meeting, we’ve collaborated with Liberation Ministries (LM) to develop a proposal for them to join the Omni as an active non-member. We’ve integrated feedback from the 8/27 Delegates Meeting, where people expressed concern about LM becoming a member collective immediately. Please read the notes from that discussion here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2015/08/27_Delegates_Meeting Many people suggested that LM begin doing work at the Omni in order for us to get to know each other and to see how their work flourishes here, before applying to become a member collective. The most essential needs of LM are to have reliable access to the space for consultations and office work, as well as ongoing reservation of space two times a week: one on Friday nights to work with youth, including collaborations with BAPS and MPM, and two, use of the Ballroom on Sunday mornings from 9-11am. These are the basic needs of LM, essential to the continuity and growth of their organization. At the 8/27 delegates meeting there was some concern over the reservation of the Ballroom on Sunday mornings for LM, with some people concerned that it might prevent other, important groups from using the Ballroom during this time. We followed up regarding this concern with the Commons WG and learned that Sunday morning during the time from 9-11ish (am) when Liberation Ministries would have service has seen only six events since last November 2014 when the Omni Global calendar started being used. Two of these were all day events--Capoeira and a "Fundraiser for Legal Fees". Of the other four, three were short two-hour rehearsals and one was something called "Love Chapel" Three of the six events started at 11am. There were a few more events that were in the Ballroom starting at noon on Sundays. Considering the Ballroom does not have any other regularly scheduled events, it is a great opportunity to put the ballroom space in use more regularly and provide a regular source of income from the usage. While this would prevent a few miscellaneous events a year from using this space at said time, the space would never go unused as long as LM operates within the Omni. Furthermore, because LM is a community-based church, they need space within the community to begin inviting people on a regular basis. They plan to go door-to-door to let neighbors all over North Oakland know about their new ministry, so they must have a reliable space to invite these new people to occupy. Welcomes our neighbors in the surrounding area of Temescal and North Oakland Very much in line with our founding vision and Statement of Solidarity to support low- to middle-income black families Working with youth Tangible anti-gentrification work They have offered to help with specific elements of building maintenance and upgrades LM would like to use their original proposal to become a member collective as their proposal to instead become an active non-member group within the Omni. The proposal is pasted below: Liberation Ministries is a new church led by Pastor Cheryl Ward. We are seeking a space to have our Sunday services and where we can participate in a community working for social justice. 1. Mission statement We endeavor to be change agents in our local community and globally, and turn whatever space we are in into a change agency. Our commitment is to transforming lives.

Sudoroom saved me

by Romy Ilano

(see full image) This week I was reaching a crisis in my work. I drifted about , directionless and without hope. It was as if all the sleepless nights and struggles of the years past amounted to nil and would crash my life into a cycle of doom Then lo and behold! I encountered perfection if not but in the human form It really helps to talk things out wihh people especially if they are in different disciplines than you. How was I to know that Sudoroom is a boiling steamy sauna of math nerds. Instead of focusing on the obvious I was taken down a side journey of math. And I have emerged all the better, ready to bath myself in olive oil with a stergil Sent from my iPhone

This icebreaker makes me uncomfortable * remote-jnny/she: wut =Announcements= * Matt finished the flyer for the upcoming Omni rent party where we're going to try to make the shortfall of funding up ($5000). We're gonna have a rummage sale and need people to help find stuff in sudo that we can sell for the sale. ** Sat 9/19 10 am to 8 pm. Live venues in too places. It's gonna be a big ass blowout. We need volunteers to cook, setup, teardown, etc. etc. =Finances= * $2,871.49 in the bank * Monthly expenses are on the order of $2400/month. * We should endeavor to have at least $7500 in the bank as reserve * $400 filing fee for 501c3 application * Will need to pay rent early this month to ensure Omni can pay rent, luckily we'll be able to! =New Members= =Proposals= * Kyle Mitchell, who's been working on our 501c3 application, has volunteered to be sudo's official Secretary, one of the 3 roles we have to fill for our nonprofit status ** Matt previously Secretary, bump to 'President'?

Does he want to remain so or hand off to Jenny? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ Some concerns that it might not be ideal for all the parties (Kyle, sudo room, the membership, etc). Should hear Kyle out see what he things makes doing this worth it. =Conflicts/Bans= * Manual (also goes by 'Manny') was asked to leave and never return for repeatedly stealing from sudo room after being repeatedly told not to. May assert that 'Jake told me I can take e-waste'. ** See https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2015-September/011054.html for more context * Draft of message to send all the members: ** Warning to all members: *** If you see anyone, specifically a person named Manny (or Manual), removing items from the sudo room, demand that they consult a member of the sudo room first before doing so. Manny has repeatedly taken usable, desirable items from sudo room (effectively theft). Manny has been told he is not welcome at sudo room and he is not welcome to remove any items from sudo room for any reason. Do not trust name-dropping, especially if they refer to "Jake" or say "Jake says it's okay". Demand you see the actual message, or contact the member directly before letting someone go with items. Thanks, Matt * We will put up a big sign saying "get permission from a member before removing anything from sudo room" that we generate with http://rasterbator.net/ * sigma-remote: Worth suggesting to people who are asking individuals to leave to take a picture as an initial step? If so, maybe including in the mass email? =Action Items= * Send Kyle our bank info for 501c3 filing fee [Jenny] ** Question of what is our bank account number? IFCU lists a generic ICFU 'account number' in addition to routing number and suggests adding a note listing our individual account #. I see a Member # on our bank statement but can't find anything specifying an 'account number.' Maybe someone who set up our Stripe or Paypal knows?

caught someone apparently stealing from sudoroom

by robb

today a guy (claimed his name was manny) was taking 2 monitors and trying to take more stuff when i asked him who he was and what he was doing (jeremy had already informed me he was "e-wasteing" in coordination with jake. sounding similar to a prior incident that matt intervened in, i pressed him for when he last spoke with jake about e-wasting the things on our shelves. he claimed he last talked to jake months ago, which sounded even more like the case matt described. i informed him that he needed to bring the items back and he left, not to return. matt (the senate) can i get a description of the guy you caught "e-wasting" our harddrives? ~r

Invitation: Conversations about Race at the Omni

by transcultural cinema

Dear friends, lovers and acquaintances of the Omni Commons, Consider these questions: * How does racial justice relate to economic justice and anti-capitalism? * How does racism affect each of us as individuals and as a community? * Why is there no such thing as “reverse racism”? * What does it mean to experience intersectional oppression? * What kinds of structures and processes can help us dismantle forces of oppression at the Omni? If you have ever wanted to discuss any of these questions, if you are interested in racial justice, or if you have experienced racism at the Omni, you are invited to join in a series of conversations about race and racism to be hosted weekly at the Omni for the month of September. The conversations will be structured as racial identity caucuses. Racial identity caucusing is a strategy that recognizes racism as a system that effects different racial groups very differently. There will be space at the start of each caucus to discuss the use of this strategy. Anyone unfamiliar with the strategy is encouraged to check out the resource attached to this email. We will begin with a three-part series for September, which can be continued if there's interest: *People of Color-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 13th, 12pm-3pm *White-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 20th, 12pm-3pm *Open to all Caucus*: Sunday, September 27th, 12pm-3pm *Lunch: 12pm-1pm, Conversation: 1-3pm* The conversations will be hosted in the *Disco Room*, and there will be a potluck lunch beforehand, so please bring an open heart and something tasty. If you plan to attend, RSVP to transculturalcinema(a)gmail.com with the following information: which caucus you plan to attend, what food you can bring, whether you are interested in co-facilitating, and any questions or issues you would like to discuss. These caucuses/conversations are being hosted as part of the *Becoming Omni *process, which is a 30-hr. Visioning and Planning Process currently being planned for the beginning of October. We welcome all those interested in helping shape the future of the Omni to join in this process. If you want to learn more, please email becoming(a)lists.omnicommons.org Love & solidarity, Libbie -- *Omni Commons* 4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland, CA 94609 *omnicommons.org <http://omnicommons.org>*

sudoroom Cube -> 3D Model (anyone interested in making a SudoRoom tesseract?)

by Romy Ilano

We were talking about different projects last Thursday night. It got us into discussing tesseracts, which are 3 dimensional representations of 4 dimensional space. Just digging this up from our folders - because I'm not sure everyone has seen this. but did you know that someone made a *3D model of a SudoRoom cube?* - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:96468 Would this picture of a tesseract be an honorary SudoRoom cube as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract#/media/File:Schlegel_wireframe_8-ce… Then, since all the tesseract models depict a cube, would this 3D printed model be a SudoRoom Tesseract? http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-4-Dimensional-Tesseract-Hypercube-Model-… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Coordinating Omni events with Friday night Linux installs

by Romy Ilano

Hey - there was a Linux adventure night running in parallel last night with a film showing in the ballroom. It was cool & although we had a sparse turnout that dissolved people got to see the film Wondering since Friday is so social if we should coordinate the Linux install night with a film Night that either is run by someone else or can be played on the TV set in Our Sudoroom ? We could install Linux alongside an open source documentary and make it a potluck ? Sent from my iPhone

What are you working on lately? I'm working on an education math game for children.

by Romy Ilano

What are you working on at SudoRoom lately? I'm working on an education math game for children. - When I told people this folks came out and gave me helpful hints and directions. I do not have much domain knowledge on the standardized tests teachers are made to give to kids in Califrnia, so I am grateful people stepped forward and helped out. - Someone cool met me at the SudoRoom and volunteered to make music for the game. - Cool people pointed out cool games that had been successful in the past. Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
