Hi all, I'm a new member. I'm excited to be a part of this community. There are great people and great resources in the space. I've also noticed that is kind of disorganized, cluttered, and the organization is broke! As a medium to long term goal I think it would be great to gain financial solvency and be able to start saving for larger projects as well as clean up the space and make it an amazing workspace with lots of working tools, spare parts, and workspace. I reviewed the articles of association and noticed a few roles that were not apparent to me in the meetings I've attended. For me the first goal of implementing change is identifying the leadership and working with them to build a consensus. Is there an existing facilitator, scribe, exchequer, and conflict steward? Thanks, David

by Steve Phillips

Hey there privacy hackers, The weekly privacy hackathons hosted at Noisebridge via the Cypherpunks Write Code <https://www.meetup.com/Cypherpunks-Write-Code/> meetup group are generally 4-10pm, but *tomorrow* (Saturday) it is *7pm to 10pm* (at Noisebridge). This is because of RIOTcon <https://riotcon.github.io/>, which I'm speaking at: RIOTcon (Radical Interactive Open Technology Conference) is a new > conference seeking to highlight the intersections between radicalism, art, > and technology. RIOTcon is from 11am till 5pm. My talk is at noon, and I'll be staying for the entire event before heading to Noisebridge for the CWC hackathon.

Stripe Subscriptions

by Kyle Mitchell

Following on from the finances discussion during last week's meeting... On manual review of our Stripe account, I see 36 monthly recurring dues subscriptions through sudo-humans for a total of $1,290 per month. There were a handful of accounts with failing transactions. (This tends to happen when a card expires or a number changes.) However, those accounts probably add up to <$100 per month altogether. If we expect, say, $1,200 per month actually paid, and our sole bill is to Omni, for $2,000, we are running an $800 shortfall. $800 over 30 people is $27 per. $800 over 15 people is $54 per. I've just updated my plan accordingly. As I recall, one of the big open questions from the meeting was whether Sudo pays any other recurring bills. We know we have insurance, and use utilities. It wasn't clear whether those are billed through Omni, and covered by the $2,000 per month, or not.

TAZ 3D printer needs a heating resistor

by Jake

our black TAZ "3" 3D printer doesn't work partially because its hotend resistor is burned out. Its hotend is a "Budaschnozzle 2.0" Here's a link to the nozzle: https://www.lulzbot.com/support/budaschnozzle-20 this is the parts list: http://download.lulzbot.com/Budaschnozzle/v2.0/Budaschnozzle_2.0_0.35noz_re… the part we need is: [ PC-RE0007 ] Heat Resistor, 4.7 Ohm this seems to be the sale page for replacement resistors: https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/heat-resistor but we can probably find one lying around, and maybe someone has thermally conductive epoxy for gluing one in? -jake

Treasure or trash?

by Ed Biow

Folks, a crony gave me a 6+1 DVD duplicator and a couple of external firewire DVD-RW burners, plus a laptop cooler pad dealer (see attached picture). Maybe we could use the duplicator to burner videos of an event in the ballroom for quick distribution. I have a few spools of DVD-RWs I could throw at it. Otherwise this stuff just goes in my e-cycling pile, though I have to say it does make a pretty cool electronic samurai sculpture in my living room. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&fiel… Edlardo -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If God is watching us the least we can do is be entertaining.

Removing bogus wordpress users

by Charley Sheets

Hi everyone, I am removing bogus-looking wordpress users, subject to my own discretion as to bogosity. One such account has the username part of the email address as "gcjrminsgbkbwbacdega". That kind of thing. If any real user finds that their wordpress account stops working, I apologize. Should that happen, please request a new account. Thanks for understanding. -- Charley

SUDO room scanner light replacement discussion thread

by jacques revera

https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3477 Jonathon Duerig (I believe he took over much from Daniel Reetz) responded that we have a 'hackerspace' model scanner and offered some advice. I asked if we could buy the "lighting system" parts of a 'quill' model and if it would be feasible to mount on our 'hackerspace' model. The logic is well put here http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/index322f.html?page_id=459 beginning with the sentence "Lighting for scanners is incredibly difficult to do right. " Check back there for the reply

Omni annual meeting Jan. 18th - call for sudodelegate, nominating officers-in-training

by Jenny Ryan

'ello sudoers, Omni's annual board meeting is next Thursday (the 18th). Any sudoers interested in being a delegate and/or officer-in-training? Robb and I have been interchangeably sudo's delegate for quite some time. It essentially involves attending delegates meetings (1st & 3rd Thursdays from 7-9pm) and relaying proposals to and from sudo room via the mailing list and monthly meeting for consensus decision-making. Nominating "officers-in-training" was Laura's suggestion. Current officers are Lynn (president), Brian (treasurer) and myself (secretary). You'd work with us to learn how to keep Omni running in the day-to-day. I can say from personal experience that I've learned more over the course of the past three years than I have in any of my academic degrees and jobs - and the rewards of successfully hacking bureaucracy are especially sweet ^_^ Brian and I will be sending out a defined list of responsibilities this weekend. Additionally, I have invited the Sin Fronteras cafe folks to tomorrow's meeting-flavored party, but haven't heard back yet. Hoping one or more of them can make it to answer any remaining questions and we can get to know each other.
