Sudoroom, we need to form a position on this proposal! Omni wants to invite
East Bay Democratic Socialists of America to rent the upstairs room that's
getting built.
I think this is a no-brainer and we should approve it! Please write back
indicating your position on this!
your delegate to the Omni Commons,
-jake

Subject: [omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: EBDSA in den
We talked a lot last week about putting EBDSA in the upstairs den, but
never formally proposed it, so here it is. I propose we put EBDSA in
the new room we're building up there. After haggling with Max on the
phone just now, it sounds like this is the most do-able agreement:
* they'll pay $1250/month with first/last/deposit
* they move in november 1 or whenever the wall is finished
* they sign a year lease, with the understanding that if omni loses
the building, it'll probably be unenforcable
* we host their next two GM assemblies for free (Nov 13 & Feb 12) and
then renegotiate in the spring whether to start charging for it again
* they are not yet applying to be a member collective, but may want to
in the future
Thoughts? Can we decide next week? Next delegate meeting is Thu Oct
20th 7-9pm https://meet.google.com/diw-hszw-msr

Have you always wanted to host a recurring event at sudoroom? Now's your
chance!
it seems that we still have "Javascript Thursdays" on the sudoroom calendar, as
a recurring event every week:
https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/sudo-room-events/
unfortunately, we haven't been actually hosting the event on thursdays
so...people may have been coming and getting confused and giving up on us.
this thursday I just HAPPENED to be at sudoroom on Thursday at that time (I was
joining the delegates meeting from there) and someone walked in who saw JS
Thursdays on the calendar! Isn't it lucky I was there?
I can't commit to hosting a second weekly event though, also i'm only just
learning Javascript and it wouldn't be right for me to host!
So who wants to do it? It will be a lot of fun. And like our other events, it
doesn't have to be strictly about any one thing - we just need something to
call the event.

Hey Sudoers,
I can't be on site tonight, but we have a few agenda items that would
benefit from a meeting if others can. I will drop in over video chat. A
prospective member,Ajay, is going to video in as well.
Here's their declaration:
Why do you want to be a member of sudo room?
Looking for more community, support the mesh in my neighborhood, support
the Omni
If you know already, what are you excited to do at sudo room?:
Mesh the planet, connect, help people get and give tech support including
myself
If you know already, what are you excited to share with the sudo room
community?:
Connections, resources
Have you ever been banned from another hackerspace? If so, when and why?:
No
Hi everyone,
You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss
email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.
Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever,
in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email)
ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area
at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and
textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing
machines available. You're also welcome to bring your own machine to have it
checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently still that
EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and
chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!

sudoroom needs to pick a member to be the board member of the omni commons,
which is the organization that owns the building.
because of the way the omni commons is structured, its board is made up of
members of the member collectives.
we need someone (not me) to volunteer to fill this role, and that person's full
name will be recorded as a board member, and they will have to attend the board
meeting which might be boring. It is a legal requirement that the omni commons
board meets at least once per year.
We need to send someone for this right away since it's time to schedule the
meeting.
please volunteer.

I just took out the trash/recycling/compost out of the Sudo Room. It
smelled really bad and there were too many flies, either food waste or
someone took a dump in the trash.
I wiped down Sudo Room tables to make the room hopefully smell better.
*Omni Commons trash/recycling/compost
<https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Trash>is taken out every Monday & Thursday
evening/night and picked up early Tuesday & Friday mornings. *
*If we can collectively follow this schedule, it will help out both Sudo
Room & Omni Commons overall.*
The annoying thing is that after taking out all the waste and trying to
make things cleaner & smell better, a* non-Sudo Room member *brought in
their own rotten trash & waste from *outside* Sudo Room into Sudo Room
trash for us to deal with overall.
Unfortunately, this is an ongoing issue though from this one person.

Hello,
Yar forwarded a message from Romy Ilano about discussing the November 5 rollerskating event. I'm the point person for that event, so I'm happy to discuss it. Is there an email I should use to discuss it privately, or will the sudoroom mailing list email suffice?
Best,
Kiri
