Wheelchair bathroom is being inspected tomorrow, and needs to be clean &
shiny. I'm working on it now but would love some help if anybody is free.
Thanks
Hello Folks,
RE: Free Microwave. :)
I have been reached out with the offer of a microwave donation. Please see
message:
"I have a microwave that works fine and looks good, but it buzzes, which is
rather annoying in a small space. I was wondering whether to offer it as a
donation to Omni. I wouldn't want it to be seen as "dumping" but I hate to
throw it out."

Thank you, and please let me know if someone is interested.

here's the noisebridge implementation (type a letter to begin instant search):

i would love to help fill it with information about the stuff we have at
sudoroom, but i am not confident in my ability to install it and get it running
on our network. If someone feels good about doing this, sudo make it happen
and i'll help.

I wrote a script that lets you upload pics to a directory using your web
browser, which Jake had mentioned was a missing part of the software.

Subject: [omni-consensus] Fiscal sponsorship for 1st They Came for the
Homeless Art Show
To: finance(a)omnicommons.org <finance(a)omnicommons.org>,
consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
We had a proposal at the last delegates meeting to fiscally sponsor an art
exhibition by 1st They Came for the Homeless (FTCFH) - see below. We were
generally in favor but needed more info. I spoke with Marcia, one of the
organizers, today and got more details. Please send feedback about the
proposal in light of this additional info.
The funds will be used specifically to cover unhoused artists' production
costs (paints, printing, paper, jewelry making supplies, etc) and any
excess will be donated to something to support a camp or other support for
houseless folks.
They don't need fiscal sponsorship for tax deductability. They need a safe
account where the money can be sent that doesn't show up in any
individual's bank account. They are happy to give 10% to the Omni because
they like us :)
How it might work:
We provide donation links that FTCFH can publicize. On a weekly basis
organizers would present us with a list of artists who were approved for a
grant and the amount. We would give one of the organizers the amount in
cash to distribute to the artists and have them sign to verify the amount
they received.
Thanks!
Laura
Homeless Art Exhibition Fiscal Agent Request
Creativity Unhoused
First They Came for the Homeless requests that the Omni Commons acts as our
fiscal agent for the production of an art show scheduled to take place from
March 9 through May 24, 2019 at Berkeley’s Expressions Gallery. Mike Zint,
Sarah Menefee, Marcia Poole and John Paulin will be the contact people
for First
They Came for the Homeless and Rinna Flohr will be the contact person for
Expressions Gallery. We are asking the Omni Commons to act in this capacity
because we value the high integrity that characterizes your organization
and its mission. We propose that 10% of all donations collected for the show
be given to the Omni Commons as payment from us for your services.
First They Came for the Homeless and the Expressions Gallery are proud to
present a show that deals with multiple aspects of homelessness within our
communities on March 9, 2019. The main focus of the art will be on the
efforts of homeless people to survive within urban environments and,
especially, on the benefits created by the communities that develop within
and around homeless encampments and shelters, as well as among people
sleeping in the rough. The exhibition will explore the differing ways
utilized by individuals in these communities to insure safety, solidarity,
camaraderie, and other positive aspects of the communal experience. The
show will also address the problems faced by the homeless on a daily basis.
The participating artists, homeless and housed, will be drawn from members
of our community who have either experienced homelessness directly or have
been touched by the plight of the homeless. This event will be the first
opportunity for some of the participating homeless artists to display and
sell their work in a professional gallery and will incorporate art in many
different media, including painting, photography, printmaking, digital art,
installation art, videos, sculpture, crafts, jewelry, clothing, and
ceramics.
The participation of homeless artists will be facilitated through
their collaboration
with First They Came for the Homeless (which will provide access to
materials as well as assistance in the presentation and submission of their
work) and Expressions Gallery. Funds and materials for the effort will be
secured through donations.
In 2014 Expressions Gallery presented one of the very first art shows to
deal with Homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area. The work of homeless
and housed artists was exhibited without differentiation by housing status.
The event was very informative, and many who attended the show stated they
were moved to become more active in matters of social justice. The show was
covered favorably by a number of local print, television, and radio media.
The Creativity Unhoused exhibit will run from March 9th, 2019 – May 24th,
2019 at Expressions Gallery, located at 2035 Ashby Ave., Berkeley, CA.
Phone # 510-644-4930. The gallery, one block from the Ashby BART station,
is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, Noon - 5 PM and Sundays from Noon - 3
PM. The Opening Reception will be held at Expressions Gallery on Saturday
evening, March 9th, from 6-8 PM and will feature local participating
artists, musicians, and refreshments. The reception is free to the public.

Hello Sudoroom,
I put my backpack in a tool locker (back of Sudoroom) while I was helping
out with the Spaz event over the weekend. and was tired to remember to grab
it before I left. I thought I had it in my van, and just remembered that I
left it here.
It is a blue backpack, with a Dell M4800 Workstation Laptop, which I need
for work, also contains a composition notebook as well, as pens and other
things.
Sierk has informed me that there has been many people cleaning, which is
why I think the reason for the moving.
If possible, please contact me at 415-724-0425 or this email.
Thank you

last night at sudoroom i did some things to get solder paste flowing from the
TAZ 3 3d printer.
i brought in a compact air compressor and adjusted its power switch to click
off around 100 PSI (since it was failing to reach its design pressure in a
reasonable amount of time and we only need like 40-50PSI for solder paste)
i'm not sure if it's still working because it cut out apparently due to heat
the last time i was running it, but possibly just because of duty cycle. It
needs a fitting installed into the outlet to plumb it to the solenoid.
Fittings are in the box behind the printer and there's teflon tape in the
"tape" box on the shelves in sudoroom.
i installed a three-port solenoid on the 3d printer which plugs in instead of
the extruder resistor / temperature sensor. It contains a 47KΩ resistor to
simulate a thermistor (to avoid a fault code) and it wires the nozzle heater
wires to the three-port solenoid (which is rated at 24VDC matching the
printer's power supply)
I piped the 3-port solenoid to a syringe and mounted a syringe holder on the
print head assembly in a reasonable place. A syringe of solder paste is in the
sudoroom fridge and can be used. Needles of various sizes are in the cardboard
box behind the 3d printer.
the air compressor's outlet needs to be plumbed to the flexible black hose
going to the 3-port solenoid. The solenoid needs to be mounted to the print
head (a twist-tie should work).
unfortunately the 3D printer's firmware seems to be cycling power to the nozzle
resistor when a temperature is selected, probably because of PID parameters, so
we will have to look for a set of commands (or modified firmware) to activate
the solenoid properly during the dispensing process. This printer doesn't seem
to have wires for a print head fan, which is how we connected the solenoid in
past implementations of this setup. There will need to be a script or
modification to rpt2pnp to issue the right commands for this setup.
as a reminder the software for creating g-code to dispense solder paste from
the .rpt file output of a KiCAD circuitboard project is here:
https://github.com/hzeller/rpt2paste
note that it's superseded by
https://github.com/hzeller/rpt2pnp
which may be newer. the latter was confirmed to (apparently) correctly process
the .rpt file from the project we'll likely dispense solder paste onto first:
https://github.com/fitzdoingprojects/big_battery
i'll be gone for two weeks but if anyone wants to make progress on this project
please write back and i'll help as much as i can.
