Hello All!
If you are interested on reading, watching videos and photos about the
Asylum Seekers Caravan, uncensored reports, please visit Jessie's Facebook
page at: https://www.facebook.com/jessie.sandoval. The reports are also
being logged here: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org.
Who is Jessie Sandoval? Jessie is a sister in struggle from Nicaragua, that
I met and worked with during Occupy. She went to Mexico a couple days ago
in support of the Asylum Seekers sisters and brothers, and she is already
sending reports on her Facebook account.
Her writing is blant, poetic, unapologetic, etc. I like her writing.
Before I go.. a quote from one her post from last night.
"
*I am not sleeping on cold hard earth, after traveling north for a month.**And
yet, there's been no burning, no breaking by this migrant community*"

Thank you in advance for any support to my/our brown folks.
I have Brown blood.

Hey guys, I know it's a little late on election day, but if you haven't
voted yet, I wanted to share a resource I found really helpful and a bit
amusing: https://yar-votes.github.io/
Thanks for putting this together, Yar :)

Internet Archive asked me if i knew anyone who would lend a/some pis for
the pre-party on the 9th.

Lack of email reminders to members has been an issue for awhile now.
It occurred to me that perhaps this was just a Stripe setting - seems it
was!
So now members will be notified by email when their payment fails, and
notified 1 month in advance of an expiring card.

Is this problematic to anyone?
CC'ing some CCL folks who've mentioned this before.

Checked across several devices, the Omni Commons ssid is not available. No
one present knows how to fix it. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

There was a (neighborhood wide?) power outage this morning.
Unfortunately, after power came back online, WiFi did not. There is no Omni
Commons ssid available (I checked in several locations through the Omni).
Also unfortunately, nobody present knows how to resolve things.
FYI, in case relevant, I believe that (internet access via) the modem came
back online after the outage (because the relevant lights on the modem seem
to be flashing correctly, as far as I can tell.) I've been told (but have
not verified) that (at least some) wired connections here do have internet
access.

This Saturday, come join us for a whole day workshop (8am to 8pm!) on
building a 3D printer at Counter Culture Labs, with some of the folks from
Open Source Ecology.
Build the open source 3D Printer with the lowest part count in the world.
Learn about 3D Printing with step-by-step guidance in a supportive
environment.
To support Counter Culture Labs, this workshop hosted by Open Source
Ecology is $10 recommended, but no one turned away due to lack of funds and
free to participate (please register using the link below). Walk-ins are
very welcome, especially if you're curious and want to swing by for a few
hours or less -- Open Source Ecology wants to share something new and
impressive with you. Register for FREE here:
https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/1-day-3d-printer-works…
We’ll show you step-by-step how to build this modular design in an
accessible and straightforward way. You’ll appreciate how an open source 3d
printer is designed and experience how teams can work together to build
something amazing, even if they’re novices. Each team takes a 3D printer
home to their community that they can use to build community-scale
infrastructure or make 3D printed objects.
To take a printer home, the price is $799. Compared with other open source
3D printers, ours can be built with off-the-shelf parts and our part count
is half the others, making it easier to understand, build, and maintain.
Because it is part of the Global Village Construction Set (for more info,
please watch our founder's TED talk here:
https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski), the OSE 3D printer is
designed to scale and handle industrial production, which means if you want
to some day build a 3 foot printer, this is the printer for you.
Additionally, every CAD design of the 3D printer is available in its
entirety, so if you want to change out printer heads to print something
other than PLA or ABS plastic, our design makes this process significantly
easier, especially because we have a 300 page manual to support builders
and a process to continually improve documentation.
Claim your 3D printer TODAY for 1 of 2 possible builds by registering here:
https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/1-day-3d-printer-works…
Schedule
The event runs 8am-8pm. Specific timing depends significantly on how we
progress as a group but generally we follow a timeline like this:
8am: Introduction. Applications of the 3D Printer Construction Set.
9am: Morning Build Session
12pm: Break
1pm: Afternoon Build Session
5pm: Break
6pm: Printer Calibration & First Prints
7pm: Review and Learning Discussion
8pm: Event ends
Special Offer
Registration secures your placement in this workshop to build and take home
a 3D Printer. Participants are welcome to bring along one or more persons
to share in the educational experience and assist the build for no extra
cost. The workshop is a fast-paced collaborative experience and goes well
with many helping hands!

Hey Sudoers,
I'd like to invite you to take a trip down south to Hayward this Saturday for the GRAND OPENING of our brand new Downtown Hayward Library! My group, the Hayward Techies & Makers will be participating in the new Makerspace on the 2nd floor. We'll be demoing 3D printing, and a "Table of Circuits" breadboard activity. There will also be a smaller version of the Flaschen-Taschen LED wall-of-beer-bottles on display.
Date: Saturday October 27th.
Time: 11 am - Dedication ceremony, Library will open at noon, close at 5pm.
Place: 888 C Street, Hayward, CA 94541
Google Maps link:
https://goo.gl/maps/8PD925ww9zM2
Short walk from the Downtown Hayward BART station (recommended). If driving, downtown parking is free, but the garage next to the library will likely fill up quickly. You may try parking at the BART station (opposite side), then walk over. Another spot to try is the nearby Lucky's rooftop.
Once you arrive, come up to the 2nd floor Makerspace to say hi!
