Hey All,
I'm one of the organizers of a large, awesome conference that happens every two years: the HOPE conference (Hackers On Planet Earth).
It's normally in New York City, but this year thousands of people will be attending totally online.
25-July through 2-August
https://www.hope.net/
Would you or anyone you know like to give a talk or workshop or performance (or something else you think is cool?) for HOPE. It can be live, or pre-recorded, or a combination.
It can be about one of your projects, ideas, musical pieces, art pieces, or about anything else you are excited about and would like to share.
No presentation experience is necessary. And the project or topic doesn't need to be revolutionary. The only requirements are that you think it is awesome, and you'd like to share it.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 28-June.
I'm happy to answer any questions.
Cheers,
Mitch
p.s. please pardon my cross-posting

Subject: Re: Sudo Room during COVID
Hi Jake,
Thanks for your response!
That's actually just as interesting to me.
I've got a whole bunch of questions on that note. If you'd like and if it's
easier we could schedule a phone conversation. Otherwise, some of my
questions are below:
How was a decision reached to decide who gets to access the space?
Do people manufacturing PPE or other crisis relief efforts have access, and why do or don't such people use the space?
Did Sudo Room decide to close its doors along with the rest of Omni Commons, or was it a separate decision?
How are the membership and Sudo Room frequenters doing during this crisis?
Are Sudo Room folks engaged in PPE/ventilator/respirator etc. production from home?
Is Sudo Mesh still operational?
Is there any plan in the works to reopen?
Is there any documentation of Sudo Room's decision making during COVID?
Such as meeting notes? I noticed there's nothing on the wiki for 2020.
Thanks so much for indulging me.
Ben

Hello all,
I hope everyone is well. I wanted to remind all collectives that if yall
have an event, even if it is virtual, we want to encourage sharing it via
the Omni's calendar. You can send the event info to
commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org.
En Solidaridad,
Roberto
Hello fellow omninoms, how is everyone doing? We hope all of you are well
and taking care of yourselves and your community during this covid-19
pandemic.
What an intense couple of weeks we have lived, right? Full of
uncertainties, but also full of hope. A lot has happened in the past
several weeks, it feels like we are the center of a fast moving current,
acting and reacting to the rapidly evolving threat we and our communities
face. After all, covid-19 has done an excellent job at amplifying the ills
of the capitalist system making its deadly presence ever more cruel within
our most vulnerable communities. But at the Omni, we are lucky to be part
of a community of caring, committed and skillful folks who are doing the
groundwork to support and build efforts to aid those in need. There is a
lot that has happened, direct actions, mutual aid efforts, mask making,
food distribution, and more!
In the spirit of community building and mutual-care, the communications
working group is dusting off the printing press and bringing back Omni’s
newsletter to share with each other all of the work we are doing, the
feelings we are feeling, and maybe a collective vision for a better future.
We are hoping to have the newsletter out by the end of the month, which is
in about two weeks. Like newsletters of the past we want to feature the
work of each collective. So we are asking each collective to submit 1-4
paragraphs providing an update of the work ya’ll are doing collectively or
maybe feature the work of an individual member. Below are some suggestions
of questions or topics you can touch on:
-
Updates from your collective
-
How is your collective responding to the covid-19 pandemic.
-
Reflections about the covid-19 pandemic.
-
What kind of world do yall imagine post covid-19?
-
Share anything that your collective needs help with, or needs.
-
Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes,
anything.
Additionally, we will be featuring upcoming events, meetings, or ongoing
efforts from collectives, so please send those our way as well.
*Please send your content to the communications working group email at
comms(a)lists.omnicommons.org <comms(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, by Tuesday April
28th. *
Like all the other working groups at the Omni, the communications working
group needs more participation. If you are interested in joining please
sign up to the communication working group email list at
https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/comms.
Thank you.
With love and solidarity,
The Communications Working Group
