I have the password and all that, but stripe is asking for a 2FA passcode being
sent to...i don't know where. There is a sudoroom.org email address but i
don't know how to access that.
Does anyone know who has this access? Feel free to contact me directly.
thank you,

Insurance inspection is Friday. If we lose this insurance we have NO
OTHER OPTIONS. California Fair Plan is the insurance of last resort.
It's the government cheese of insurance. Nobody else will insure us,
because of unfixed electrical hazards.
Yesterday's work party was great, but it wasn't nearly enough. It took
a team of people just to clear out the spaz corner. Now there's a
bunch of stuff in the entrance hall and we don't know who it belongs
to. PLEASE CHECK THE ENTRANCE HALL in the next few days for stuff you
care about. We will probably do a dump run on Wednesday. We might
throw away useful stuff, because I honestly didn't want to be the
ringleader here and I don't have enough fucks to give.
There are still so many corners of the building that look awful, are
probably one spark away from being a giant bonfire, and I just can't
deal with it all. I need help. I'm sounding all the alarms here. This
is critical.
When this is over we need to have a serious conversation about
hoarding. Omni has too much stuff everywhere. It adds up a
thousandfold. It gives shelter to mice. It makes things uncleanable.
And most of it is not being actively used, it's just storage. We need
to stop being storage! No more storage! Sure some of it may be useful.
Maybe you can store one thing. But not ten things. We have to start
making the tough choices here.
The good news is, David Keenan just made us an amazing graphic of the
things that still need to be fixed in the next 5 days. Attached!
Hi Sudoers,
I am relatively new to the bay area as I only moved in after covid and have been quarantining like everyone else. I recently started looking for hackerspaces because I miss learning and experimenting with others. I heard that this particular hackerspace has not been meeting since covid and I wanted to see if y’all would be interested in kickstarting some more sessions!
Best,
Chase
Hello Jake, and all,
I don't know if my payment stopped working yet, but it should because I
need to update the expiration date (3/21) on my card. I can log into
sudohumans but don't see any means in my profile where my payment info can
be found and updated. Please advise!
thanks
Hilary

Hi Ed,
My sudo humans payment stopped working around the same exact time, but i'm
pretty sure it's because my card went missing and I got a new one at that
time,
but it could be a coincidence and that sudo humans and/or stripe has had
problems that we didn't realize.
Does anyone know if we get emails from stripe about cards being rejected /
automatic payments failing? Who is maintaining sudo humans?
Ed, if you're unable to login, is it possible that there's a capitalization
issue with your login name? The system is case-dependant.
I was able to log in recently so I think the system is at least partially
working. If you are still unable to get in, I am willing to work on it with
you over the phone, you have my number and we're both on Signal.
I'm also trying to find other people who are more qualified to help with
this.
sudo-humans is important! it's how we get our money so sudoroom and
omni-commons can continue to exist.

Did something happen to the omni door computer? I can't reach it over
the network, even from within the building. It appears to be working,
letting people in. I tried looking at the box, but couldn't make sense
of the mess of cables. Maybe an ethernet got disconnected somewhere?
The rest of the network is fine. Other devices on that subnet and that
interface are reachable, but:
$ ip neigh | grep 100.64.64.11
100.64.64.11 dev enp3s2 FAILED
I am adding some Omni Commons groups to this.
Hopefully we can get more folks involved with Commons Working Group as
potential for physical opening (?) gets closer.
Or at least host virtual events for more financial support ?
Get new voices and perspectives in the mix.
I'll start attending soon especially in connection to North Oakland Mutual
Aid
Free Store aspects.

Forwarding this omni proposal with great enthusiasm!
FYI I'm still acting as sudoroom delegate at omni meetings, but
abstaining from all decisions since we haven't met in ages. Anybody
wanna organize a sudo meeting?

Subject: [omni-consensus] Revised Free Store Proposal
To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Hey all!
I have rewritten the Free Store proposal to reflect the new idea to
have Omni Commons' Commons Working Group itself host the Free Store,
as an Omni-led project that acts in intentional partnership with other
collectives to facilitate mutual aid.
I'm really excited about this because I believe it could provide a
clear channel to the public of where and how to direct volunteer
energy toward the Omni. I think it could be a great step toward
enhancing participation within the working groups.
Let me know what you think! There's always room to revise.
Best,
Vicky

Hello Omni folks,
How are ya’ll doing? We hope everyone is doing ok.
It’s been a while since we’ve put out an Omni newsletter, almost a year has
gone by since our last one! A lot has happened between then and now, so it
would be nice to catch up. We’re thinking of putting out the next
newsletter by the end of March, so we want to invite Omni collectives and
Omni folks to share updates, thoughts, art, feelings, ideas with us, so we
can include them in the Omni Commoner.
There is a lot to talk about. We are still in the grips of a deadly
pandemic which has undeniably exacerbated the ills of capitalism and its
deadly effects on our community. But Omni folks and Omni Collectives have
organized and actively continued to support the community during this
crisis. We are stewarding a town fridge, the North Oakland Mutual Aid
Project is going strong, Acta Non Verba has adopted Phat Beets’ CSA, and
the rest of Omni collectives continue to do empowering work out in the
community. The working groups are meeting, some regularly and other
sometime, the finance/fundraising working group though has been at the
forefront doing the important work of keeping the Omni alive, critical
work, which we are all grateful for! There is much more going on for sure,
this is not even mentioning the different individual projects Omni folks
are working on!
It has been a rough year, but with the spirit of collectivity, the Omni
continues to be a hub for community collective action during this pandemic.
It is this we would like to share in this newsletter =].
So if you want to share anything with the Omni community please do! Art,
thoughts, visions, desires, anything!
We are asking from each collective to submit 1-4 paragraphs providing an
update of the work ya’ll have been doing. Below are some suggestions of
questions or topics you can touch on:
-
Updates from your collective. New visions and goals.
-
How your collective has been responding to the covid-19 pandemic.
-
What kind of world do ya’ll imagine post covid-19?
-
Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes,
anything.
-
Upcoming Events
Please send your content to the communications working group email at
comms(a)lists.omnicommons.org, by March 21st.
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
