Fwd: [omni-consensus] Nominations Open for Officers of the Omni Commons

by Yardena Cohen

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. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: MaryAnn Tenuto-Sanchez <enapoyo(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 10:35 AM 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 _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Fwd: Tell everyone you know to fight the dangerous EARN IT Act

by Steve Phillips

Please sign this petition to help defeat *awful*, privacy-destroying legislation supported by the Trump administration, and tell others to do the same! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dayton, Fight for the Future <team(a)fightforthefuture.org> Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 2:56 PM Subject: Tell everyone you know to fight the dangerous EARN IT Act Share this important message to support digital freedom Steve, First of all, *thank you* for signing our petition to fight the EARN IT Act. This dangerous new legislation would grant the Attorney General broad new powers to determine what we can and can’t do online. You’re one of more than 26,000 people who added their names to the petition. Now we want to double that number, and we need your help to do it. *Can you send an email to your friends and family or share on social media asking them to sign our petition, too?* <https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/_wA/ni0YAA/t.30i/JbYh3dMLRiGy0QMamV…> <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Don't%20let%20Congress%20kill%20encryption!%20Sign%20the%20petition%20to%20tell…> We’ve added an email you can forward below, but feel free to write your own message telling the people you care about why the EARN IT Act is a threat to you. Regards, Dayton at Fight for the Future — Hi there. I’m writing to you today because I want to let you know about the EARN IT Act. This law pretends to help prevent the exploitation of children online, but in reality it threatens all of us by giving the Attorney General sweeping new powers to break encryption and censor speech online. That’s dangerous. I’ve signed a petition demanding that my lawmakers protect my digital freedom. I hope you’ll sign this petition, too: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/dont-let-congress-kill-encryption/ <https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/_wA/ni0YAA/t.30i/JbYh3dMLRiGy0QMamV…> Thanks!

WiFi for All, at OmniCommons

by danarauz＠gmail.com

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

Biohackers develop open source COVID-19 diagnostic kit

by Autonomous

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. https://foundry.bio/coronavirus-covid-19/
