Subject: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Please forward to your groups and collectives - Omni Commons is
seeking candidates in our officer election for 3 positions: president,
treasurer and secretary.
At minimum, folks in these positions need to have their names filed
with the California secretary of state and be available to
occasionally sign things.
At best, folks in these positions would join the finance working group
to take an active role in administrative paperwork, writing checks,
paying bills and so forth. An active treasurer would enable us to have
separation of powers between the bookkeeper and the money spender, for
example.
Your primary interactions would probably be with finance wg members -
currently me, Sarah Lockhart, John Torok, and occasionally Silver.
Like all community members, you'd be encouraged (but not required) to
attend delegates meetings on 1st and 3rd Thursdays.
As soon as we get enough interested candidates, we will hold an
election to get delegate approval.
Thanks,
Yar

Dear all,
eQualitie is seeking an experienced networking software engineer for
DevOps and infrastructure automation duties. We’re looking for someone
who knows how to build and manage cloud services with an emphasis on
FOSS solutions that we run _in-house_ <https://github.com/equalitie/>.
Our new colleague shares the company’s _values_
<https://equalit.ie/values/> and is ready to play an important role in
protecting freedom of expression and association on the Internet. In
turn, you will get exposure to and a say in the design of current and
future _defensive _ <https://deflect.ca/solutions/>_web
<https://deflect.ca/solutions/> technologies_ and _decentralized
solutions_ <https://github.com/censorship-no> for avoiding Internet
censorship, as well as personal satisfaction that your contributions
create real change for people around the world.
*Job Description*
You will work across tight-knit project teams and interface between
software developers and systems operations. Your primary
responsibilities will include building and tuning tools to improve
network availability, service performance and censorship resilience. You
will introduce common systems and processes for a variety of in-house
technologies, spanning DDoS mitigation, a clearinghouse for anomalous
network behaviour and a decentralized peer-to-peer web caching network.
You will take an “automate everything” approach, introducing and
improving automation, orchestration and monitoring tooling across the board.
*About you*
You love dashboards and hate network latency. You understand the
building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with its core
protocols, including decentralized networking. You value
infrastructure-as-code systems and believe in prototyping, fine-tuning
software configurations and performance monitoring as the primary ways
to improve an Internet- reliant product or service. You have a depth of
knowledge, experience and a passion for Internet technologies that allow
you to learn new systems relatively quickly. Also, you will have:
* Excellent Linux administration skills, performance- tuning and
server hardening;
* Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology using
Ansible, Docker and/or Kubernetes;
* Experience with data engineering, analysis, visualization of web
traffic and network statistics (e.g. Kibana, Grafana, Icinga,
Prometheus, etc);
* Experience in network programming (HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP) with knowledge
of peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) technologies a strong asset;
* Familiarity with coding in Python (with Go and/or C++ experience a
strong asset);
* An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!
*Now, a little bit about us…*

Reach out to me if you'd like to know more! I've had a great time
working with this team over the past 9 months, and am looking forward to
expanding the team :)
Warmly,
Hey everyone, we're doing a short study and I think someone from the
sudoroom community could be a good fit, anyone interested in talking about
your experience or know someone who fits the bill?
Do you need to share files privately with a limited and select number of
people? Are you concerned about security or access, and don't want to use
commercial providers like Dropbox? Have you ever tried setting up a
self-hosted server, like FTP, FileZilla, or NextCloud, to do this?
We're booking 15-30 minute conversations to hear more about your needs. We
are Rae and Kelsey from Simply Secure. Thanks to support from the Open Tech
Fund <http://opentech.fund/>, we're working on making sensitive file
storage, backup, and sharing much easier.
Sign up on this brief form
<https://form.jotform.com/filezilla/usability-interviews> or send an email
to filezilla(a)simplysecure.org to get started.
Thanks so much and looking forward to speaking with you soon,

I cleaned out a full trash can of moldy and rotten shit from this same
fridge a month or 2 ago. apparently it has reverted to the same state as
before. I think it is a bio hazard, breeding flies, spores, bacteria and
other organisms that we don't need in Omni Commons. I think that the best
solution would be to dispose of it.
Hey Sudo Room,
I attached Counter Culture Labs just in case as the Sudo Fridge has been
out of power for awhile and all the food basically exploded with mold and
microbactic life ?
(This is why I attach CCL to see if they want to do biohack experiment on
the new life forms popping in the Sudo Room fridge.)
Disgusting mold food pictures attached.
Lot of this food has been in there PRE-COVID ?

My friend is offering us 30 high quality office chairs. I think we should
replace the shitty chairs around the Omni with them.

Hi all,
I've been sudoroom's delegate to omni commons on/off for many years. I
don't want to do it anymore and I think it's time for someone else to
step up. I'm happy to help prep new folks for that, but I'm not going
to wait around for a transition period. If nobody else steps up by
next month, sudoroom will become "inactive" and will no longer be able
to block consensus decisions.
Best,
Yar
Many years ago I had my small CNC hosted at sudo, I don't think it got much
use as I wasn't around to help people learn it. Currently that machine is
just sitting in storage now and it feels like a waste to keep it there. I'm
trying to clear out this storage unit and my move out date is the 28th of
this month.
The system was gifted to me, and I have since gotten it working again and
learned a bunch -- I would love to pass that gift along to someone else who
has the time and space to actually use this thing! I would be happy to help
with setup and getting it running wherever it lands.
Runs on mach3 on windows, I'll include the desktop and everything seen
here. I'm guessing it weighs around 150lbs, definitely need a couple people
to move it.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions!
Cheers,
Jack
