Hi, I'm a hacker and computer science student from Switzerland. I'm also a member of Fixme, a hackerspace in Lausanne. I'm planning to come to San Fransisco from August 6 to August 9 with two friends. They are also CS students. We're looking to a place to lodge and everything is crazily expensive, especially for some students. Do you have any ideas, any contacts or any spare couches to help us? Happy Hacking, Sacha Bron – Binary Brain PS: I just saw you need money to survive. I gave you $20, hope it will help!

We need 44 of them. Come help please. It's holes through 2-inch joists in the ballroom mezzanine floor, for routing romex. Took me 5 minutes of hard muscle work just to do one. Involves power tools, sawdust, noise, awkward standing positions, and fabulous fun.

Person with electric repair knowledge needed

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Location: Second floor computer area. Issue: HP Switch at the second floor turns off, often. Temporary Correction: Push the extension cable connector into the outlet (under the table) and it will turn back on. Situation: This regular issue can be annoying to the end user, due that computers will loose internet connection. Marc J. mentioned that perhaps power for the switch should come from the light fixture nearby, and remove the extension cord that is currently feeding the switch. Matt S. also had similar experience, he mentioned to me last week. Call: Can someone with electricity knowledge go there and check/fix the situation? Additional Note: I have not swap switches to make sure that is not the switch. I suggest that if the main switch in the server area is Cisco, so then to have same maker at the second floor. Just to have same routing protocols between the two. Also, I recall that several months ago I cleaned up the configuration of a couple of Cisco switches and they are stored in the two post switch rack in the server area. Feel free to take one of them, if needed. Many thanks in advance, and please reply to this list if you will/worked on this ticket. :) Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

monitors on the wall are underutilized / trying to write a blog post with instructions

by Romy Ilano

Hey now that we are preparing for cyberwizard, and there are people learning, I'd like to point out that the monitors long the wall are underutizlied. we have about 12-15 ... I'll write a blog post about this with instructions. It seems really common sense but isn't always. (unless someone else does!) a 2nd monitor is great for people who are learning to code, especially if they have an IDE open and are using videos. Guests and members visiting sudoroom should bring special outlets for their computers. I'm unsure what chrome or linux folks use - I have a mac so I have my own setup. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Greetings from the omni

by Romy Ilano

(see full image) https://www.facebook.com/events/1606507732938924/ We had another experimental session involving fitness and art at the omni upstairs from Sudoroom It went over my Head at some parts but there was a redefinition of fitness : fitness is not only about body fat but also mental health and the ability to survive and reproduce in rapidly changing environments We taped alternate eyes to our own and spent most of the session with eyes closed as we imagined alternate realities . Instead if an aerobics or spinning class we listened to a computer discussing the future and imagining sensations of augmented realities The future was discussed as we stretched and writhed and the need to find new realties and ways of being ! As you know the omni Collective is a unique place. Many events that occur here wouldn't happen anywhere else While I was doing fitness I ran into moms and dads preparing a benefit for Muhammad and emad at the solidarity Cafe. I think they're activists who got into trouble 😢 https://instagram.com/p/5nP0EUIUtj/ There are kids playing in the omni ballroom and people chatting in Spanish and folks of all religions doing bake sales to help these guys It's nice ! Thanks omni and Sudoroom. ! Oakland needs you We don't want Oakland to become what happened to the sf mission and Dolores park ❤️ Sent from my iPhone

What I did at Sudoroom yesterday

by Romy Ilano

I spent the afternoon getting the basics of node down .. I've reviewed it and even worked on it at work but I just sat down and reviewed everything using a treehouse video node js course that comes gratis with my sf public library membership It took a few hours in between errands. There were people there it was nice to talk and even music I used a spare cheap monitor to learn: wish I did that earlier ! We have dozens of monitors on the wall!! It's useful for learning with online video ! By studying the right way I got the basics down which saves time for later The exercise had me building a simple node website modifying js to find information about student status and building a template website system It's cool there are so many node people at Sudoroom . I'm normally a mobile Programmer on iOS so I don't usually touch website sfuff I forked q basic Virtual Dom Code branch from Substack to Learn more I'd like to use this info to build an open source web interface for my women who code project : it's a database of cool female film directors and films that pass the bechdel test Later id like to push out some open source web & mobile projects . It's easier than it used to be I try to combine art with code so i drew a cat in JavaScript forest Later I'll clean up this email and then make it into a personal and Sudoroom blog post Thanks Sudoroom !!

Occupy Mission Network Infrastructure

by Robb Anonymous

It appears to me as though the unspoken mission of the Omni collectives is to provide infrastructure for groups that share the Occupy mission. Perhaps the role of the Omni is not to be an umbrella organization that comprises the various collectives. Instead, maybe the Omni's role is and has always been to provide much needed infrastructure to local community activists groups. While considering this thought, I stumbled upon an article from Non-Profit Quarterly which describes the need for such organizations, to wit: http://nonprofitquarterly.org/2008/01/25/why-every-foundation-should-fund-i… Love & Solidarity, robb LulzLux let thar b Lulz (<|)><(|=====

Computers for the Public Setup+ ALERTS (DNS + Speed)

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, *Good News!*We now have a total of 10 new data drops at the second floor where the computers for the public are. Four computers are already setup and ready to use. The other six are already active, so it is matter of bringing more computers to the table and set them up. The second one from the left was not booting up, and since I had a bootable USB with Debian 8 with me; well.. I installed Debian on it. User name: user Password: user Root's password: user -Feel free to modify that if one wish or if it required. I just wanted to have it running at least. I removed all the extra unnecessary and/or unsafe equipment that was there on that table. Excuse me that it was brought down to one of the tables at Sudo, but I was too exhausted that I just wanted to go home. *ALERTS:* DNS: At the time that I left the building, 5pm, there were some DNS issues. DNS was not resolving. Pinging Google's DNS IP 8.8.8.8 worked, but not when trying the domain name. The issue seemed intermittent. BANDWIDTH: Also, I ran a few speed tests and they area about 20Mbps / 1.5Mbps. Thanks Hassan, Sierk, and Francisco for your help during these three days of work.

The heavy breathing session at omni Sunday morning was in the New Yorker magazine

by Romy Ilano

I'm so proud of sophia ! So the cool heavy breathing event Sunday at the omni was featured in New Yorker magazine ! You all should come!! Facebook.com/heavyheavybreathing. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Romy Ilano <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com> > Date: July 24, 2015 at 6:57:01 AM PDT > To: Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> > Subject: Sweating to Sappho - The New Yorker > > > http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/sweating-to-sappho > > Sweating to Sappho > > > The participants shook to a Nicki Minaj song, did push-ups against partners’ backs, and learned a dance routine that began with a wild-eyed reach. PHOTOGRAPH BY LISA RYBOVICH CRALLÉ > Chani Bockwinkel was wearing silver striped leggings with a pink, flowered silk muumuu because, as she said, “I feel as the instructor you’ve got to bring it.” The photographer and member of the feminist dancers’ collective SALTA read her favorite lines from Sappho, as translated by Anne Carson: > > For she who overcame everyone > in beauty (Helen) > left her fine husband > > behind and went sailing to Troy. > > “Helen’s not a passive trophy here,” Bockwinkel explained. “She has her own agency, her own desires. Sadly, that’s radical for this period of writing. So, yeah, the hope for this class today is how can we be Sapphic about it and feel our desires rather than just trying to achieve something externally?” She turned up the volume on a Dusty Springfield song. “So let’s embody that deep femme drive.” The bodies inside the Edoff Memorial Bandstand, on the shore of Oakland’s Lake Merritt, began to writhe. “Do you feel loose, heavy, buoyant?” The music changed. “We’re going to pick up the pulse here, step-touches!” > > The class, “Sappho and Sweat,” was the second offering from “Heavy Breathing,” which its co-founders describe as “a summer series of free critical theory seminars in the form of absurd, artist-led conceptual fitness experiences.” The idea came to Sophia Wang, a dancer who recently completed her Ph.D. in literature, last year. She and Lisa Rybovich Crallé, a multimedia artist, were collaborating on a sculptural installation when they took a long walk up a hill and discovered that discussing Aristotle’s conception of topos while huffing could be uniquely stimulating. > > “Of course, the body and the mind work together all the time, but it’s easy to forget the body when you’re in deep thought, or on your own,” said Wang during a class break. The Heavy Breathing kickoff, at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in June, drew about four hundred people for a marathon of Laughter Yoga, Sonic Meditation, and a “Get Pumped Up for Nothing!” session with the gay-night-club performer-turned-multimedia-performance-artist Julz Hale Mary. One session in the series combined Emily Roysdon’s essay “Ecstatic Resistance” with—naturally—resistance training, and another one, scheduled for later this summer, will offer participants the chance to discuss global risk practices while trying out Reichian somatics inside a bouncy castle. > > Only a dozen people had come for “Sappho and Sweat”—the Pride Festival was in high gear across the Bay in San Francisco—but the attendees were indeed perspiring. “So who are the contemporary people that embody this femme goddess vibe?” Bockwinkel asked as she turned on a Eurythmics song. “We’ll do jumping jacks and call them out.” She blew her gym-teacher whistle. > > “Frida Kahlo!” someone shouted. > > “Beyoncé!” > > “Annie Lennox!” > > “Jane Fonda in ‘Barbarella’!” > > Then it was time to embody someone on the list. A young woman with blonde pageboy bangs, wearing a gold shirt the texture of popcorn, began to wriggle on the floor. “Call out someone we all can be!” Bockwinkel said. > > “Angela Davis!” The group strutted. > > “Now I’m going to pass out these excerpts of Sappho, and you’re going to read them to your partner, while squatting or lunging.” When that was over, everyone shook to a Nicki Minaj song, did push-ups against partners’ backs, and learned a dance routine that began with a wild-eyed reach that Bockwinkel said reminded her of a move the British art-pop star Kate Bush would do. “Kate Bush feels it in a way that looks very Grecian to me,” she said. > > There was a cooldown of improvised goddess poses. “This is a chance to play with archetypes. Which feel powerful to you, and which feel like flat boring clichés that you don’t want to participate in?” Everyone gathered in a circle. “So, I kinda would love to hear what came up for you,” Bockwinkel said. > > “When you move while listening to the poetry, you find the rhythm in your body, which is cool,” said Rachel Simkover, an Oakland resident. > > “That is cool!” Bockwinkel said. Then she made some points about how, rather than objectifying her lover with external descriptions, Sappho uses small, specific details that let the reader inhabit the female gaze. “She doesn’t describe the lover as, like, ‘my blonde, beautiful lover,’ ” Bockwinkel said. “Instead it’s ‘Your skirt makes me want to weep.’ ” > > As the class broke up, no one seemed ready to write a dissertation, but the informal reviews were good. “It’s cool to think of being in your body as a feminist act,” said Sara Linck, a North Oakland dancer, pasta salesperson, and tenants’ rights worker. > > Adrian Leong, an intern at the Buddhist Peace Fellowship in Berkeley, towelled off. “Embodied learning is new to me, but now it is something I very much want to explore,” he said, his cheeks flushing. As he and the other participants filed out of the bandstand, Bockwinkel stood with legs hip-width apart and chin lifted high, and offered them parting verse: > > I simply want to be dead. Weeping she left me > > with many tears and said this: > Oh how badly things have turned out for us. > Sappho, I swear, against my will I leave you. > > And I answered her: > Rejoice, go and > remember me.

I don't believe so, Robert. But you could leave it under a pallet that has a load of equipment that we want to be semi-mobile and it wouldn't take up much extra space.

happy the omni's trying to buy the building - thanks for sticking together

by Romy Ilano

I know it's difficult, but thanks for sticking together. Jenny and other SudoRoom members have been doing a lot of sh!twork like writing grants, cleaning and getting stuff done -- it's hard work! I haven't been able to be part of any financial committees, but I know it's important even if it's not always fun. I'm passing along a notice from RPS Collective. After 10 years they are being forced to leave their space on Telegraph and 23rd It's very cool that the Omni is trying to buy the building. I can only see the rent going up steeply in Oakland in the near foreseeable future. Not only due to gentrification but also to many other macroeconomic factors. If anyone has time to help reps collective with their move you can email community(a)rpscollective.org After more than a decade in the same location, we are being forced out of our space on Telegraph and 23rd to make way for a new vision of the transforming neighborhood. The Collective's long time landlord plans to charge market value for the space, well beyond what we can afford as an all-volunteer run nonprofit. Eleven years ago we could afford market value for the space, but thanks to our success in building a vibrant community in downtown, market rate is now far out of reach. The increase will more than triple our current rate. Eleven years ago, downtown Oakland was home to mom and pop shops, socio-economically diverse, occasionally dangerous; a sometimes eccentric, sometimes wonderful, and always dynamic community. A group of artists, crafters, organizers and makers found a vacant little storefront among a sea of vacancies. With a little volunteer elbow-grease and fundraising effort, the Rock Paper Scissors Collective (RPSC) was born — a destination where the community could come together, organize, share skills, knowledge and create. ALL were welcome in the space. In the following years, a group of underground and outsider galleries, including Rock Paper Scissors, created the First Friday Oakland Art Murmur. Artists could showcase their work to an organized audience and share promotional materials, local crafters could sell their work, experimental performers could establish and gain recognition for work with little bureaucracy. Payment was on a sliding scale so no one was left behind because they were unable to pay. These types of intentional and inclusive actions drew international attention as First Friday grew to be one of the best-attended arts events in the country, drawing upwards of 20,000 visitors to the area every month who spend tens of thousands of dollars on art, music, and food supporting Oakland businesses and artists. Oakland became a city known to foster creativity thanks to the work of so many collaborating individuals and groups. The Downtown, Uptown, and KONO districts became more attractive for tourists, restaurants, and independent shops. While the original spaces that created the artistic explosion in Oakland have closed down, Rock Paper Scissors Collective continues to foster the spirit of building community through the celebration of art, skillshare and performance. Building an exciting, creative, and challenging neighborhood has been a long term project. Telegraph Avenue is rapidly transforming, and enjoys its current attractiveness due in large part to the events started by Rock Paper Scissors Collective. We are the only founding gallery that remains in business despite First Friday’s massive success, and we receive no money from the event beyond what sales we make. First Friday is a locus of Do It Yourself (DIY) and Do It Together (DIT) art, but we are one of the few galleries in the area that fully embraces emerging and outsider artists. We provide a space for everyone to feel comfortable and invited. This space has become attractive to wealthier tenants BECAUSE of the years of hard work we have put in building a community of engaged artists, musicians, and performers, and as a reward we are being kicked out to make way for a wealthier class of renters. Will they share RPSC's dedication to making art accessible for everyone? Will they be as community focused? Will they stand in solidarity with the people of Oakland, as we have? We have been a reliable, consistent tenant for over ten tumultuous years, as businesses opened and closed, as the country went through war and recession, as Oakland and the Bay Area went from boom to bust and back again. We have hosted thousands of shows, concerts, and classes, on everything from Street Art to programming, from activism to zines, featuring artists and musicians from around the East Bay. We are being priced out of our space not because of anything we have done, but simply due to the cold calculus of gentrification. There is more money to be made in this space from something other than community-driven art, and that is enough and more than enough to push us out the door. Rock Paper Scissors Collective will continue, despite this. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive artistic community accessible to everyone regardless of their income level, perceived ability, or socio-economic status. We will find a new space here in Oakland, and continue to build and support a diverse community of artists, crafters, performers and makers. We will continue to provide space, materials and time to all residents of Oakland, and to forge connections and solidarity between movements, people, and organizations. The only way to push back against the rising tide of inequality and injustice is TOGETHER. Please contact us with any suggestions or ideas about our current circumstances. Only with the help and support of the community can we continue to ensure a safe and open space for everyone. —Rock Paper Scissors Collective ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Offering TV tuner cards for media hacking

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, I just added three older TV tuner cards on the "free stuff" page on the wiki. (Does anybody else use this page? https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Free_stuff ) They're not useful for broadcast TV any more, but I think they could be used with certain kinds of cable TV, to set up a MythTV server. Let me know if you want to mess with 'em -- I'd like to get them off my hands. Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

Fwd: Next steps for buying the Omni: 3 proposals from the fundraising working group

by yar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 1:20 PM Subject: Next steps for buying the Omni: 3 proposals from the fundraising working group To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hello Omni Commoners! Did you know that we could seriously buy the Omni in the next few months? There are people with a lot of money who want to give and/or lend it to us. All we have to do is create the legal structures to make this happen. The fundraising working group has been meeting for the past month to talk about the details, and we're informally calling ourselves the "Buy the Building" working group (aka the "Until the Revolution" working group). We meet on Mondays at 6:30 PM. There are still many details to figure out, but we're ready to make some initial proposals to the Omni delegates, to be decided at the next scheduled delegates meeting, which is Thursday August 6th: PROPOSAL #1: The Omni community should decide if we actually want to buy the building PROPOSAL #2: The Omni should apply for federal 501c3 status PROPOSAL #3: The Omni delegates should go back to meeting weekly. There is a lot to do, and decisions will need to be made quickly. We are going to have more proposals soon. In particular, we think the land beneath the building should be given to a Community Land Trust. But we don't have all the details ready for a formal proposal yet. There's no delegates meeting scheduled tonight, but we will be meeting at 7pm anyway to provide information and answer questions. Please come. This is very important!

Since our next regular delegates' meeting is not until August 6th, this should be plenty of time for people to review and respond to the proposal. This is an incredible group of activists who have done a tremendous amount of important work over the past 40 years. They are being evicted from the space they've worked out of for many decades in SF and I would love it if we were able to provide them with a home. <3 N _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus -- Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/35215676?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/35215676?utm_med…>

He seemed nice and was asking if I had anything to eat. I was rummaging in the backseat for foodstuffs when he opened the door and got into the car with me, moving into my space. Thankfully, Maxamillion was on his way out the door and pulled him out of the car. The man proceeded to grab him by the hair and they were at a standoff shouting until I got in the middle, broke them apart, and we jumped into the car and drove off. ~6'4", wearing grey sweats, possibly a Jamaican accent, and tiny braids a bit past shoulder-length.

Letter of Resignation

by Jenny Ryan

Friends, Friday will be my last day in the Omni for an indefinite period of time while I address a couple of personal issues that are bound up with my increasingly problematic behavior, aggression, stress, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and burnout. I realize that I take my leave at a critical juncture, and intend to continue remotely helping with the following: * Building/Finance bookkeeping * Ethnographic research of other commons-based projects * Legal entity research and fundraising work * Several of Omni's IndieGoGo perks * Brainstorming on a new booking/calendar system * Procuring necessary documents from David Keenan and organizing them at htps://omnicommons.org/cloud * Visioning (I believe my distance will enable a more coherent perspective to contribute to these important conversations) * Followup and resolution of all outstanding working group action items (primarily for Commons, Building, Fundraising aka 'Until the Revolution', and Finance). * sudo mesh <https://sudomesh.org> documentation, finances, regular email updates, organizing node mounts and public outreach (i realize i've been dropping the ball on this but would like to shift my focus back to other projects dear to my heart) Things I've been responsible for that others will need to step up to help with include: * Paying sudo's rent / utilities / insurance bills, * Finance updates at weekly sudo meetings, * Acting as an Omni delegate for sudo room, ** Omni proposals and announcements at sudo room meetings, * Regular Costco runs for general Omni supplies such as toilet paper, dish soap, etc; * Purchasing materials for building-related projects, * Helping with many events renting space <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Booking_System> at the Omni, * Maintaining the ever-buggy Omni calendar <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Calendar_System>, * Co-facilitating monthly Open Circle meetups <https://omnicommons.org/connect> with Antoinette, supporting families of victims of police violence, * Weekly front door shifts (Thursdays 2-6pm) and pestering Omninoms to volunteer to be a front door greeter, * Documenting working group meeting minutes on the wiki and general wiki maintenance, * Various communications and relationships I intend to hand off to the appropriate people, * Organizing work parties for Building projects, * Creating a direct point of contact with neighbors around the Omni, * Figurehead role of Secretary of the Board of the Omni Commons and Board Member on behalf of sudo room. Things I've already dropped the ball on: * Proper onboarding of new sudoroom members * Monthly Cryptoparties <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cryptoparty> (Third Sundays in sudo) * Facilitating the Welcoming working group <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Welcoming_Committee> * Facilitating the Communications working group <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Communications_Working_Group> I love you all very much. Please know that I'm not doing this out of spite but rather out of love for this project, this community, and myself. I apologize to anyone I've hurt over the course of this project and hope to recontinue building and dreaming with you all once I've healed myself and risen to a better place than where I've been. I will be at the community meeting tomorrow evening to discuss the Fundraising WG's proposals for moving forward to buy the building, and Friday evening to help out with the Digital Detox event that will be utilizing much of the building. I will be travelling in Europe and visiting my family for the entirety of August. Please get in touch directly if you'd like to talk about anything.

Invoice from Omni Oakland

by Omni Oakland

Dear Sudo Room, It is amgo. To help clear up the epaper trail, I changed your April rent invoice to reflect all the internet payments you have paid on behalf of Omni minus the one month of wifi payment each collective owes. Sudo paid $1080 for eight months of wifi. $2000 rent - $1080 for past wifi payments = $920 RENT On top of that you owe $135 for your share of WiFi. This brings the total to $1055. Your accidental payment of $870.73 on March 2nd is subtracted from that total so that now you owe $184.27. You emailed Finance WG explaining it this way: Matt accidentally deposited $870.73 on March 2nd that should be detracted from rent. *** Internet was $135/month, from July-February (8 months) = $1080, minus sudo's share (1/8) = $135. $1080 - $135 = $945 *** $870.73 + $945 = $1815.73 *** $2000 rent - $1815.73 = $184.27 rent for April You can think of it in whichever way is clearest for you. I am doing it this way to make it clear on the books. Thanks so much for covering the wifi and being a rad collective and prompt rent payers. xoxo amgo ------------------------ Invoice Summary -------------------------- Invoice # : 1006 Invoice Date: 03/25/2015 Due Date: 04/01/2015 Terms: Net 30 Amount Due: $184.27 The complete version has been provided as an attachment to this email. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Bills bills bills

by Sarah Pritchard

Dear Omni Financiers, I just sent you all invoices for monthly expenses and June rent at the Omni. Please let me know if you did not receive your invoices. For your reference, here is a breakdown of the shared expenses in May: *Utilities:* - PG&E: $587.23 - EBMUD: $478.60 - WM: $140.36 *Taxes & Insurance:* - Building insurance: $661.00 - Property taxes: $797.28 - Business tax: $181.35 Starting this month, the shared expenses are calculated by subtracting $100 for Optikallusions' contribution and then dividing utilities by 7 member collectives and 1 tenant. The taxes and insurance are split evenly between the 7 member collectives. Let me know if you have questions about any of this. Otherwise, please pay your invoices as soon as possible. As always, if you know you will be late paying your rent and/or shared expenses, please let the Finances Working Group know so we can plan accordingly. THANK$$, Sarah + Finances WG

JOB: Linux systems administrator, part time

by Vicky Knox

Psst.. [spaghettinight] sys-admin job from: Boris Fain boris.fain at gmail.com Hi all - If anyone wants to pick up a little extra cash, I'm posting this position. If you have run and installed Linux yourself you are 1/2 way to the skill-set and we can train you for the rest. It's a flex gig very chill for the right person. Linux systems administrator, part time: InterX inc is looking for a part-time sys-admin. The continuous duties are fairly light, with periods of occasional burst activity (upgrades, etc.). You will be responsible for a small (300 cores) HPC cluster, and occasional EC2 spillover. You will also occasionally interact with vendors. User complains are fairly light, but are expected to be addressed within 48 hours. As there's on-site activity local candidate is preferred though much of the work can be done remotely. Relevant skills: Fluency with Linux and cluster configurations. Rocks Clusters experience desired. EC2 and StarCluster experience a plus. Fluency in basic scripting, system maintenance and backup strategy a must. This is probably best suited for a graduate student who wants to make some money on the side.

Techno-Activism Third (Tuesdays): Discussion with Julia Reda, Pirate Party MEP

by Danny O'Brien

(This Techno-Activism Third Monday will, confusingly, be on TUESDAY 21ST this month. Don't forget to update your calendar! And feel free to forward this on to anyone you think may be interested.) Join Pirate Party MEP Julia Reda in a discussion about the EU Copyright Evaluation Report, and the prospects for better global copyright in the 21st Century. The European Union has begun the process of evaluating its current copyright law with a view to updating it. As part of that process, Julia Reda, the Pirate Party member of the European Parliament, prepared an extensive report recommending a number of reforms, including liberal licensing of government works, measures to safeguard the public domain, a harmonisation of copyright term length across the EU, explicit allowances for linking, parody, quotation and data-mining, and limits to legal restrictions on bypassing DRM. This month the Parliament voted to accept the report, with some amendments. Julia Reda will be at this month's San Francisco TA3M to talk about her work as the report's author, and next steps in reforming copyright in Europe, the United States, and the world. Date: Tuesday, July 21st Time: 6:00pm Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco More info: https://juliareda.eu/ https://juliareda.eu/copyright-evaluation-report/ http://www.ip-watch.org/2015/07/09/eu-parliament-adopts-reda-report-on-copy… === What is this again? Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) is an informal meetup to connect activists and technologists who are interested in the challenges of surveillance and censorship, and anyone interested in free and open technology. TA3M happens all over the world, from Amsterdam to Tokyo. You can find out your local meetup here: https://wiki.openitp.org/events%3Atechno-activism_3rd_mondays Want to receive these TA3M-SF updates regularly?

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCL] Anyone see a black backpack with camera gear?

Door access

by Julio Rios

Friends, There have been some issues over the last few days with people disrupting the space, that it has become necessary to restate the access policy of the Omni. During the hours that La Commune is open (Tue-Sun 12-6pm) the bookstore is open to the public. Outside of those hours, the Omni is NOT open to the public and the door is to always be shut closed, not latched open. During those closed hours, the Omni is open to members of collectives, or to their guests who must be accompanied by members at all times. During events, such as BAPS classes, the point person for the event is responsible for all the participants who are not members. Other volunteers are working on door access tomorrow at noon if anyone wants to help make the building more conducive to having a safe environment. Love, Julio
