Hi everyone,
you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email
list, or 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 of
any means you can invoke.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in case you didn't know, there is definitely a covid surge happening right now
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 the
telescreen (linked last in this email)
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:

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 soon after 6pm.
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 after 10PM anyway
because of diminishing returns :)
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:

if you can't make it, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with
each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space:
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!

Dear Sudoroom,
Tonight I will not make it to Hardware Hacking Tuesday but I suspect people
will probably be there, although i haven't seen any announcements.
This email is a reminder that we need to discuss the BOGSS proposal at the
Sudoroom meeting tomorrow night, and figure out what questions and/or
amendments we want to send our delegate (me) to the Delegates' meeting on
Thursday.
People have already said things about it, both directly to me and publicly, and
I have my own amendments to propose, and we can talk about all of those
tomorrow night. I know everyone is busy (I am too!) but this is a pretty
important issue for Omni that we need to engage with as much as possible.

Dear Sudoroom,
Today I voted in behalf of Sudoroom in favor of the MOP proposal, and they are
now a member collective of Omni Commons. I emailed about them on April 20th
but didn't hear anything back, so I hope everyone is okay with that decision.
Today a proposal was introduced for a new committee to be formed at Omni
Commons to value and protect the safety and interests of BIPOC/Non-Men.
this is the original proposal in PDF form:
https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220505/ab900701/a…
this is an editable "cryptpad" and
we are requested to "please leave comments in red"
https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/6IhZqwyXxN6CrEvtiljmnqTa/
actually this is a cryptpad copy of their document just for sudoroom, and I
will forward our discussion to Rafiq to integrate our input.
Other collectives are asking questions too, so if you want to be more engaged
in the discussion, please join the [omni-consensus] list! But definitely make
discussion here in the sudoroom list and get engaged.
If Sudoroom members have concerns or objections, we need to communicate them
promptly and work toward agreeable amedments. It is not an option to simply
reject the proposal, but rather if you have specific concerns then we need to
work with each other to address those concerns and come up with something
agreeable.

Hey all, I'm boosting this email with a new subject line so that it's
clear to readers - this contains an important new proposal!!!
Brief summary: this proposal forms a congress of BIPOC and non-men
from all Omni's groups, who then elect a small committee which has its
own seat on the board, its own delegate, and a few specific powers
related to addressing racism and sexism. This is an important step
towards making omni representative and accountable! This finally
begins to put our Statement of Solidarity into action!

I added a little note at the beginning on our proposal and the events
from 2 weeks ago. Happy to provide a short statement. In general, I
appreciate the apologies made and think this can be a growing
opportunity to forge a stronger collective. If it's possible, we can
open discussion on the proposal this week if enough delegates have had
a chance to review with the idea of approving at the next delegate
meeting (or worst case, the one after).
As mentioned earlier, we are proposing the creation of a safe space
Committee (see attached). We appreciate and accept all
feedback/comments/concerns.
In struggle,
Rafiq

Hey, as I mentioned last week I won't be able to make it today, but if any
wnb from this list want to stop by it’s totally fine! Night will still keep
being WNB only. If you don’t have a key, knock on the door, It seems
there's always people at Omni C on Monday evenings, so getting in should
not be an issue.--

I'd just like to leave this up here, some copies of the old forrest mims notebooks. I didn't do a lot of soldering and circuit building when Radio Shack was still a thing, but people here at SudoRoom told me that these were in circulation.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/sets/72177720299391640
I'm thinking of making a version of engineering notebooks similar to forrest mims. they could be tailored so that they're down to earth and appeal to people who BIPOC / cool independent women who don't necessarily want to care for children or become mothers / and more!
here's the sudoroom pick and place machine

Hey all, I'm trying to organize a massive "stuff removal" from omni
next weekend (Saturday June 4). So far there are two large piles of
"removal candidates" in the northwest basement and northwest entrance
hall:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg
If you'd like any of these things to STAY, you should MOVE it from
these piles in the next week!
If you'd like any other things to GO, you should ADD it to these piles!
If you'd like to HELP remove things next Saturday, either by carrying
things outside day-of, finding new homes for things in advance, or
arranging trucks to take them various places, then that would be
AMAZING!

Subject: Stuff that's going away - maybe in a week?
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
We now have two large "junk piles" - northwest entrance hall and
northwest basement. I believe almost everything that is "in question"
about whether it stays at omni is now in these two piles.
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-1.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg
Could I pretty please ask that anybody who still wants stuff in these
two piles, please claim and move them in the next week?
We have a work party scheduled for next Saturday June 4. I would like
for this to be a junk removal party. How do we all feel about this?
Would folks be able to arrange trucks to pick up whatever's still
there in a week?
I feel a sense of urgency because Village of Love is about to pay us a
bunch of money to move in and occupy both of these areas.
Hi Pauldogg,
I saw your application for membership to sudoroom - we are in the process of
improving the instructions on that page so people realize that the first steps
to joining sudoroom are things like joining the sudoroom-discuss email list,
and coming to the space!
I sent you an invite to the email list and you should join and say hi there,
and meet other people and hear about the events we have. You can come to the
space on Tuesday night for Hardware Hacking Tuesdays for example, or a meeting
on Wednesday (usually?) and JavaScript Thursdays. Or just write an email to
the list asking when anyone else (a member) might be in the space and willing
to host you so you can see the space and start meeting people.
thank you!
