Remember how a few weeks ago we all got together to shoot a video? Well, the good news is it's almost done! But before we can publish our Kickstarter/Indiegogo/whatever campaign, we've gotta rustle up some perks and rewards for our contributors. What does that mean? Well, you know how on Kickstarter you can get a copy of a musician's album if you donate X amount? We need to have things to offer, too. What are those things, and at what dollar amount? Some ideas: 3d-printed schwag, $10 Badges!, $25 One-on-one sessions with the giant robotic arm, $2000, limit: 5 sessions

Damn, wish I had taken a closer look at that event description. I agree with hep, it looks pretty alienating. Let's have a robot-themed halloween party instead. Beep boop.

Please remove punching bag from ballroom by 6pm tonight!

by niki

Hey! I am doing the final cleaning / touching up of stuff in the ballroom today before the Alice Notley conference (which starts at 7pm) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 5:31 PM Subject: Need help cleaning the ballroom this weekend! To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hi friends, The Naomi Klein event is happening this Sunday morning at 10am. I am going to spend as much time as I have tomorrow (Saturday) cleaning up the ballroom and doing any little touch up jobs that I can. If anyone is around I would greatly appreciate your help! Things that need to get done: - Remove from windows and store sound proofing baffles (these can probably go into the ticket booth room - extra points if you feel like painting them black!) - Putting away tools on the stage - I organized these several weeks ago and look at them! (cry!!!) - Moving all sound equipment / speakers from stage - anyone know who this stuff belongs to? If you can direct me, I will contact them! - Moving punching bag - is this meant to live in the ballroom? Can we identify a place to store it during events? Maybe the ticket booth room? - General sweeping / dusting / cleaning <3 Niki 646-577-7957

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] [BAPS-Organizing] Need projector for event nov 1st

by Eske Silver

Add another projector? Did BAPS get another one? :) I really would love to see an Omni-wide inventory management system that has an integrated reservation protocol, which would help streamline aspects of events like this. Unfortunately, this would be a lot of work to maintain (I'm told). So for now, I think having an online database with all of Omni's (and it's collectives') open access tools/machines/etc with contact info for each is the best way to go. I.e. Sending a direct email or text to whomever owns/stewards the tool/machine someone wishes to use, and the owner/steward keep track of the item's calendar. It's what people have already been doing, but I still see that there is confusion around the topic. I hope this helps a bit, but we ought to solidify this process into a version that's more accessible to everyone. ~ Korl On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 9:07 PM, niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I think it should be fine - it doesn't look like there's anything else on > the schedule.. this along with some other events that have needed use of > the projector raises for me the need to set up some kind of reservation > system for stuff like this. > > Add yet another project to the list :) > > Sudo is setting up systems for this purpose, I believe so perhaps we > collaborate with them! > > xo > > N > > On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Scott Nanos <scott.nanos(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hey y'all, Ian from Baps is putting together a real cool event on nov 1st >> in the ballroom.

Dia de los Muertos fundraiser: is happening?

by Lesley Bell

Hello! The Omni needs funds. Dia de los Muertos is a thing. We would like to introduce new people to the space and expand our community. I have attached a flyer for a possible event, a funky transhumanist/Dia de los Muertos themed costume ball. Should this happen? Is there a reason anyone would like to block? Also, steampunk zombies! Mechanical corpses! Post-singularity glittery things covered in LEDs! Ordinary awesome humans! -- Lesley

At tonight's weekly Sudoroom meeting, we had a long conversation brainstorming new ways to arrange the space. A lot of it hinges on uncertainty about the robot arm. A while back we agreed it would move against the west wall, but it hasn't happened yet. What are the current plans for the robot? What needs to happen for it to move? How can people help? Thanks!

moar outreach

by april glaser

Hi friends, So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom. Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week! It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit from learning what you all know. For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll show up :) Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help. Ever upward, April

PACKAGE OF RFID WRISTBANDS SHIPPED TO THE OMNI

by Jake

A PARCEL CONTAINING 16 POUNDS OF NFC RFID WRISTBANDS WAS SHIPPED TO THE OMNI A WEEK OR TWO AGO. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO NIC WEIDINGER BUT IS INTENDED FOR SUDOROOM HACKING. I HAVE NOT SEEN IT NOR HEARD MENTION OF IT, SO I AM GUESSING IT IS SITTING IN THE OMNI NEAR THE FRONT DOOR SOMEWHERE SINCE NOBODY KNEW WHERE TO PUT IT. IF YOU FIND IT, OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF IT, PLEASE WRITE BACK. <S>THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE USED FOR PERMANENTLY IDENTIFYING COLLECTIVE MEMBERS AND WILL BE NECESSARY TO OPEN DOORS AND BATHROOM STALLS. YOUR RFID WRISTBAND WILL BE LINKED TO YOUR WIKI PAGE AND PRIVILEGE KEYBASE.</S> THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE FOR ALL KINDS OF FUN EXPERIMENTATION AND GENERAL RFID HACKING, AND CAN BE READ BY MOST MODERN PHONES. THEY HAVE USER-WRITABLE DATA SPACE IN THEM AND THE POSSIBLITIES ARE LIMITLESS. WHERE ARE THEY? -JAKE P.S. TODAY IS CAPS-LOCK DAY.

It will require at least 4 more hours of work. If you are available to help tomorrow (the 23rd), please let us know. Sorry this is so last minute, but we do need your help. Thanks, Ben

embroidery sewing machine needs needles

by Jake

we got the embroidery machine working!!! it's totally awesome. tl;dr we need needles! who will order this ebay item? http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-MEISTERGRAM-INDUSTRIAL-EMBROIDERY-MACHINE-NEEDLE… it takes a little coordination though, because it's an industrial sewing machine with a clutch pedal to engage the motor - and it's very powerful. So it will sew very rapidly and you have to steer the needle around the pattern at a rate matching the sewing rate. it's kindof like driving a ferrari in that way. anyway, it came with a single needle and it is broken now. We need more needles!!! we have plenty of everything else. it uses weird needles - they are the normal length (1.5") but their upper shank is 1/16" diameter which is smaller than standard sewing machine needles. http://www.sewingmantra.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sewing-machine-needl… the machine is a Meistergram model M'100 and it uses the same needles as the M700 / M800 like the ones in the ebay item are for. if you order these needles, write to the list so we don't end up with 50, although i'm sure we'll need them if we use it enough. -jake

stuff.sudo - TAG ALL THE THINGS!

by Marc Juul

Our inventory tracking system is now up and running again! Go to: http://stuff.sudo Create labels by filling out the form and hitting "save and print" (remember to look at the preview of the label before printing, you have to manually hit enter in the description textbox to create newlines). Stick the label on the item, and you can either scan the QR code to go to the item's wiki page, or look at the ID on the printed label and for e.g. ID 42, go to: http://o.sudoroom.org/42 When you print a label it will come out of the label printer next the the wooden 3D printer. If it doesn't work, ensure that the label printer is on (it should have a green light) and connected. The software has been updated to the latest codebase so it should crash less and will automatically restart if it does crash. The code is here: https://github.com/sudoroom/labitrack Unfortunately (or fortunately) our old database was lost in the mists of moving (or maybe it wasn't but I couldn't find it) but the wiki pages remain, so it should be easy enough to create redirects. -- marc/juul

Re: [sudo-discuss] Backspace Space proposal

We all need to get better at that, of course, but also get > better at forgiving each others' mistakes, in the spirit of jubilee. I want to just reiterate this in light of the past few days of conversation. I have heard a lot of different narratives about what happened with Backspace over the past few months. I don't claim to know exactly what happened anymore, but it seems to boil down to a huge string of communication failures that resulted in Backspace paying for space to operate, yet having no space until now. At Thursday's meeting, the subject of past-due utility bills came up, but it seems apropos to mention that lots of Omni groups have not paid utility bills, or even rent, and one of the amazing potential things about Omni is our capacity to be a non-evil landlord - each according to their ability and their need. It's clear that most backspace folks are WORKERS whose primary concern is being able to see their clients and students and make a living wage. It's also clear to me that the primary benefit of having Backspace at Omni is NOT the money they'd bring in, but the new people, energy and perspectives. It would REALLY SUCK if we lost all that by fighting with them over money. Other than money, the only other concern I'm hearing about this proposal is about space. While I have expressed concerns about "enclosure" in the past, Backspace's plans for the den or "storage room" are NOT enclosures. They're stewardship of commons. This is exactly the model I always dreamed of for our building! Finally, there's BAPS. I think it might help to separate BAPS' pragmatic need to host many evening classes from BAPS' position as a roving "nomadic" group without dedicated space, and both from the concept of "enclosure". Because it seems to me like Backspace's pragmatic needs are similar to BAPS - to assemble in spaces and occupy them for a finite period, for classes and 1-on-1 sessions. So what are the ways we can frame this as a collaboration rather than a competition? I think these problems would get solved a lot faster if we were all able to trust each other, the best path to building trust is for Backspace to begin operating at the Omni ASAP, and the best way for that to happen is to show support and forgiveness all around. Thanks.

Dustin

by niki

A fellow named Dustin has been spending the last several days hanging out all day in La Commune. I talked to him today and explained that we're not yet open and that, while he's here, he needs to either be vouched for by someone who is a member of a member collective or attending an event or otherwise involved in work related to the Omni. I told him that I was leaving at 7pm and he'd need to find someone to vouch for him at that time or else he'd have to leave. He said ok. I mentioned this to him again around 7:15 and he said that someone at Sudo said he could be in the building until 10pm. I told him that this was not the case, and explained again our pre open to the public access policy. He walked away from me saying "You're the only one who has said that to me." heading back inside the building. He said that "the guy with dreadlocks" told him he could hang out here. I went and got Chris B and Mary from CCL and we approached him together. Chris told him that he wasn't vouching for him and that he should leave. Mary and I both told him that we'd be open to the public eventually but that we just are not at the present moment. He left and said he wasn't coming back. Just sending this email so it's on the record. I'll try to add to the wiki, as well. Niki

Brown couch in La Commune

by niki

Can the folks who brought the brown couch in and left it La Commune please move it by Saturday? We are renting the ballroom for an event on Sunday and they will be using the cafe to stage catering. Additionally, La Commune is hoping to have the bookstore provisionally open by November first. This would be a transitional period while we continue to work on getting the cafe open. If y'all could help us out by not leaving stuff in La Commune but rather taking it to wherever its final destination w/in the Omni will be, that would be tremendous. <3 Niki

Submitting Tax Information to State of California by Nov 7

by Matthew Senate

We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board, notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3 application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year, 2013. I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached: "state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf" which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields. We need a few things: 1. Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!) 2. Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability 3. See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly 4. *Submit before Friday November 7* (30 days from October 9, 2014) "Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100 with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon written request." // Matt

It was about dedicating ONE room, the eyeball room, and having part-time scheduling priority in two common rooms, the den and storage1. It didn't say anything about the disco room, which OMNIdance has paid for exclusively until Dec 1, and which the Commons WG is proposing to steward starting Dec 1. This Commons WG proposal was on the pad at last week's meeting but the meeting went too long and the delegates didn't have time to talk about it, sorry.

I think it would also be a great opportunity to buy some art for the Omni's walls. :)

ultrasonic transducers

by Jake

we have a bag of ultrasonic transducers, as seen here: http://www.directindustry.com/prod/international-transducer/ultrasonic-tran… in case you needed to do any ultrasonic transducing. there are also electret microphones in the same bag, i think they were used together for physical location tracking, like short distance high-accuracy distance measurement. -jake

mailing list help

by Ines Chapela

Hey there! Inés Chapela here with a problem regarding mailing list managing..I work for the Greenhorns (check us out: www.thegreenhorns.net) Anyway, we're trying to send out an e-blast to promote our latest project, Up UP Farm Film Festival, which is a series of indie films and shorts that explore the questions facing the new farmers movement. We primarily use mailchimp for this type of thing and for some reason they are saying we have "stale" emails and are threatening to delete our e list unless we hire a third party company to clean up our list. I'd love to just leave mailchimp and get another mailing list company that doesn't cause so much trouble...Anybody have advice for a good route to take here? Any help greatly appreciated. Inés

501c etc

by Whitney Lawrence

Yar, I am still willing to bottom line the 501c application. I have not made any progress since my august communication requesting information. My goal to have the package finalized by the end of this month is no longer reasonable because I have not made any progress since august. Without the required information I can not help. I suggest we form a small group of people that have historical working knowledge of Sudo as well as access to financial and tax documentation. After the delegates are identified we should meet to address scope and define roles. Regrettably, I don't have the time to join in the weekly meetings. I can however, make time for a twice a month focus meeting to address 501c documentation and progress. Finally, please include me in future communications on *this *subject by attaching me directly to the email. I will be unsubscribing from the "discuss" & "omni building" email lists because it is taking too much of my time to review. Thank you, Whitney E. Lawrence III, P.E. 510 396 5510

pair programming station has KiCAD now

by Jake

the pair programming station now has KiCAD, the free and open-source software circuitboard CAD progam, installed on it. juul and I will be designing the circuitboard for the vending machines (hack-o-mat on the wiki) soon, and if you're interested in this we can make it a date so more people can see how it's done. since it's a pair programming station with two monitors, at least twice as many people can watch, and at least two people can take turns making the board. -jake

Naomi Klein Event 10/19

by niki

Hello friends, I walked one of the organizers for the Naomi Klein event through the space on Monday and she told me that they were trying to cap the number of attendees and ensure that the group represented a diverse range of voices from different communities. As such, despite the information I was previously given by another organizer, she said that only 3 people max from the Omni can attend. I'm very sorry - this was a miscommunication between parties on their end, not ours. Right now, 10 Omni members have asked to attend. Are there people who are rescind their request for a spot? I think the only fair way to decide who can go may be to draw names. Any thoughts? Niki

embroidery machine

We can also just hook the fucker up to the robot arm and have it "steer" the machine through any pattern we want. -jake

please use found soldering equip. and working laptop

by eric james Anderson

Found a box of soldering supplies and dropped it off at Sudo, along with a working laptop suffering from minor mechanical issues. The screen-spring is unhinged, requiring it to be leaned against something, but it'd make a decent, maybe a public terminal. -- Eric Anderson 206.295.1751 Oakland Local Archive <http://oaklandlocal.com/author/amasym/>
