I've got a roommate who would be at risk if I got the virus, so I am going
to skip the Tuesday meetups for a while. If someone is there on Tuesday
please let Ross know I can help him more once this thing blows over, but I
invite him to email me directly and we can collaborate remotely.
But we're all expected to socially isolate more than normal, so I thought I
would start a social thread for anyone interested. What have y'all been
doing to stay sane? I've started scheduling video calls with friends I'd
otherwise see in person. I have been getting a bit more time to do 3D
printing and other stuff like that though. Anyone working on something fun
to pass the time?

Hey Sudoers - anybody want to be Omni's treasurer, secretary or
president? Or can you think of anybody who would be a good fit? These
positions are unpaid, low on decision-making power and medium on
responsibility.

Subject: [omni-consensus] Nominations Open for Officers of the Omni Commons
To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, discuss <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Dear Omni Collectives,
At the Omni Delegate’s Assembly (Executive Board) meeting on Thursday,
March 26, I agreed to act as Interim Secretary to initiate an election
of officers; specifically, President, Treasurer and Secretary. To
follow through on that responsibility, I am announcing that
nominations are officially open for those 3 positions. All 3 positions
have a 1-year term of office. Only members of Omni collectives and
community members actively participating in Omni working groups are
eligible to be nominated. Nominations will remain open until Noon on
April 5. Please send nominations to me at: enapoyo(a)gmail.com and be
sure to include the email address and phone number of the person you
nominate so that we can reach them to verify acceptance.
A number of people have already been nominated, and now the elections
group (myself, Patrik and Matt) will contact them to find out if they
accept the nomination. Meanwhile, nominations remain open until noon
on April 5 to give the collectives time to nominate other folks if
they wish. Delegates should forward this announcement to the internal
list of members of your collectives because not all members of
collectives are on the consensus list.
Once we have determined who the candidates are we will send the names
to the consensus list and delegates will inform their collectives,
hold a meeting and determine for whom their delegate will vote at the
annual meeting on April 23. My understanding of the process is that
the delegate for each collective has one vote on each officer
position.
Candidates should submit a statement of why they want to be an officer
and send it to the consensus list so everyone can read it before the
collectives vote. No Negative campaigning; just statements of why you
want to be an officer.
I am also attaching the Omni Commons Bylaws, which spell out the
duties of each office.
In advance, I want to thank everyone for their cooperation in this process.
In solidarity,
Mary Ann

In Fed'sBook, someone mentioned that will be going out of town (Oakland) to
get WiFi access, so she can work from "home".
I direct her to go Omni's main door, since that is the closes WiFi Access
Point that we installed.
It got me thinking that perhaps would be a good idea to bring an access
point to the door, outside so the signal spreads out to the street. This
can be put outside from the second floor window over the main door. It
would pick up the power (PoE) and signal from the second floor switch.
What do you folks think?
Daniel
Hello Sudoroom, and NoiseBridge Folks,
There is an activist that need help from someone to repair her broken phone
screen. It seems that places where she can go are closed these days. Her
location is in Oakland is "near Downtown, Chinatown, east or west is fine."
Please let me know, if you are interested so I let her know. Many thanks in
advance, Daniel Signal: 415.336.9143.

Biohackers at BioFoundry in Australia are making their own experimental
COVID-19 test kits, which purport to diagnose the disease in just 30
minutes, and which patients can potentially perform themselves.
The open-source (OS) community proposes ditching the expensive capital
> equipment in favor of a reaction that requires only a set of biological and
> chemical reagents in a single tube that gives a reliable diagnosis. We are
> currently sourcing the reagents to replicate the experiments being shared
> within the community. BioFoundry proposes setting up the facilities to
> synthesize the required biological reagents at scale, while collaborating
> with our sister company Argent Scientific to source the required chemicals.
> We would then focus on producing self-diagnosis kits to fill the diagnostic
> gap in Australia, before moving our focus to Africa and South-East Asia to
> help support their containment efforts as well.
