Greetings Sudo Room!
This is your monthly donation invoice. Thank you for stewarding the
commons!

Hi.. I think I’m still a sudoer? So:
I would like to propose that Sudo consense to place a permanent electrical
receptacle near the bottom stair landing (that leads up to ballroom) near
the fridge, to be used by the fridge.
IMO this would be superior to the prior ‘50ft extension cord through the
wall up to another room’ solution that has been used in the past, which
transgresses code and therefore poses recurring headaches during annual
fire inspections.
I expect this work would take appx 2-3h at most, possibly less.
Paying an electrician to do it will I ballpark cost ~$200-$300.
As it happens we presently have an electrician this week conducting minor
repairs around omni, so this would be an opportune time to do this scope of
work as well.
Is there by chance a sudo budget for this sort of thing? let me know if
this task is copacetic with sudo?
Best,
David
Hi all,
Tomorrow 9/16, I hope folks can show up for moving omni’s library (per
Silver’s message below) out of the ballroom mezzanine, and into the
entrance hall mezzanine.
This will help provide a more accessible library as well as facilitate more
professional rentals of the ballroom.
Please come if you can! Xo!
David

Hi Sudo Room!
I hope you're well. I would like to ask y'all for a favor: Helen, Sarah and
I are wanting to revamp Omni's safer space, conflict resolution, and bans
policies to make omni a safer, saner place to come to work on community
projects. We want to hear about problems related to these policies, and
about what in your view, would make them better.
We are embarking on what we anticipate to be a roughly 3-month process to
improve these policies, and we hoped to start by hearing direct and frank
feedback from all member groups and individuals about how they feel working
in omni with respect to the above policies, and for their opinions on what
about them could be improved.
(You can read about our proposed workshop-style process of engagement on
this wiki page <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Revisioning>, which also lists
suggested prompts
<https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Revisioning#Round_1_Discussion_Prompts_.28prop…:>
for
a first discussion.)
*Therefore, we were very much hoping we could be agendized into one of your
group meetings* - or, set up with a separate meeting, if that is better -
to begin to explore these issues and start to gather your frank feedback.
We can meet over zoom/google-meet, or in person (with masks) if that is
better for you. Note that in-person meetings do not need to take place at
omni, and in any of our discussions, any feedback given can anonymized at
your request before it gets aggregated into a bigger omni-wide feedback
document.
Finally, because we want to make this process as inclusive as we can, we
were hoping to hear in particular from voices who do not typically chime in
on omni mailing lists or omni meetings.. (which is to say, a majority of
omninoms!) If your group has someone tasked with communicating with
delegates / rest of omni, we definitely want to hear from them too -- but
ideally, also from others in your collective.
If you are agreeable, can you please let us know at your earliest
opportunity when might be a good time to discuss these issues with us?
Thank you so much for your time, and if possible, please reply-all to at
least helen, sarah and me if you can.
Best,
David
Have any of you checked out https://tildeverse.org? It seems like there would be a lot of overlap between “pubnix” community and hacker space communities.

Just a reminder that Omni’s fire inspection is 2pm tomorrow. All rooms will
need to be made accessible.
Patrik, please let me know someone from CCL will be present? & ensure myco
closet will be accessible
Sierk, please ensure HNJ closet is openable..? I should have borrowed that
key from you..
*In the AM we will also need hands with the following*:
*Inside Omni*:
- All trash bins throughout omni that aren’t yet emptied, emptied
- Nothing left sitting within any stair, stair landing, hallway, or along
any common path of travel.
- Ballroom & Entrance hall swept with dust broom.
- Entrance hall: All veggie boxes, cardboard, extension cords, & misc
objects not part of free store moved either to recycling or basement
*Shattuck frontage*:
- *Stoop-sitters told to hang elsewhere for the day due to
inspection.* important,
or we may again be asked to place a ‘No Trespassing’ sign there.. Also,
Ballroom doors will need to be open, steps can’t be obstructed etc
- removal of all furniture / trash bins along shattuck (except for fridge
shed)
- clear trash off sidewalk, sweep sidewalk
*Fridge Shed*:
- power strip removed & Fridge plugged directly into exterior electrical
receptacle (with no extension cord or power strip), or if fridge cord can’t
reach: then shed moved so it can reach, otherwise failing that left
unplugged for now.
*48th st frontage*:
- If trash cans are still out, align neatly at curb.
- trash pickup / removal of any object not in a trash can from frontage
- sweep sidewalk
Thank you
David
Hey folx, we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street
and so far no one that I am aware of has organized any events for the
Bay Area. Around the country other people <https://linktr.ee/occupy2.0>
have begun to plan things, open mics and art shows, vaccine clinics,
free masks, Pussy Riot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot> is
even supposed to show up in Los Angeles. As you can see from the
attached video cliplet, there are people who would really like to see
something happen in the Bay Area, as well. At this point those of us who
are mulling this over are leaning towards doing something on Friday,
September 17 rather than Occupy Oakland's 10th anniversary on October 10th.
Since I am a pro at crastinating, if it were up to me, we might well
have to wait until the heat death
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_timeline_from_Big_Bang_to_Heat_Death>
of the universe before something gets organized but I'm willing to throw
gobs of food at an event if other people are also interested in getting
together for an open mic or speak out or something & are willing to put
some energy into making it happen. I can also bring an EZ-up or three
and a microphone and speaker, and maybe a few chairs and tables if we
can achieve critical mass. I could even cobble together a flyer if we
can agree on something.
Anywho, if anyone would like to help put something together maybe that
could join the biweekly rump of Occupy Oakland's GA (generally just a
few people) Sunday, August 28th at 4 PM. I believe that will be here:

Susan, I asked Jay Ponti <https://betherevolution.us/> to send me a link
to today's Zoooom meeting. I uploaded it to a personal server because I
don't know if the link he sent me was for general distribution:

I’ve contacted Occupy the Farm and Strike Debt and of course the Public Bank. Should we invite SF? If I write to Ruthie, everybody will come, so I’ll ask for RSVPs and threaten them with running out of food if they don’t reply.
If SF isn't organizing anything I think we should send them something,
Susan.

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
