Hi all,
I’m going to be “neatening-up” soldering area closest to main table. I’m cognizant of the soldering equipment that belongs there. Other stuff will be placed in its appropriate home/bin or placed in a box for further analysis. Please let me know if there is anything of yours there so I can make a mental note.
Thanks,
The Cap’n
Relevant to some of the discussions we've been having wrt the Sin Fronteras
Cafe proposal and Omni's stance on not talking to police, Hasta Muerte
Coffee on Fruitvale Ave has recently made international headlines for
refusing to serve an Oakland police officer:
* http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/10/coffee-shop-under-
fire-for-refusing-to-serve-uniformed-police-officers.html
* http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/coffee-
shop-police-ban-hasta-muerte-oakland-california-a8248806.html
The business is experiencing a huge outpouring of threats, online
reputation trolling, and harassment. Please drop by if you can @ 2701
Fruitvale Ave. and give them your love and support, or if you can't visit,
help by flagging the many offensive and defamatory reviews being posted on
Yelp <https://www.yelp.com/biz/hasta-muerte-coffee-oakland> and the like.

I am not there but I hear from Rayc that Steve Leach is causing problems by
verbally attacking Rayc for moving a table in sudoroom.
Steve is calling it "his" table. And wouldn't stop yelling at Rayc even when
Max from Phat Beets asked him to stop interrupting their meeting (Rayc had
taken the table to the 48th street doors sidewalk area)
I had a disappointing interaction with Steve earlier this week when he rejected
my request to clean up the table he had been treating like his living room, but
I didn't realize that he also has a history of blowing up on people and
disrupting meetings, and now verbally attacking my friend.
I would like to ask Steve to take some time away from Omni and Sudoroom and/or
engage in mediation with me, and probably also with Rayc who has been attacked
in the past and doesn't deserve to be stressed out like this at Omni.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone could announce the upcoming Arduino classes on
twitter/facebook from the sudoroom account. Trying to get about ten
people to show up and test the class out. Usually, about half the people
confirmed to show up.

Thank you
Noah
Hi Steve,
I left a note Monday night on the table nearest the fridge, politely asking you
to clean up the table you've been using regularly. I left my email address in
case you wanted to discuss things with me.
Instead of cleaning up the table, you wrote a rude response on the same piece
of paper addressed to me.
That table was covered in disgusting spilled coffee and tobacco and bits of
garbage, a dead car battery, and various other random items. I put things away
and threw out the garbage, and I cleaned the table with water and paper towels,
and I left a note addressed to anyone who uses the table to keep it clear.
Sudoroom has had problems in the past with people "camping out" or creating
"man caves" at their favorite spot, and unfortunately treating part of sudoroom
as their living room or bedroom. This is not something I like to see, and I
hope you understand when I ask you specifically not to do this anymore.
If your activities in sudoroom are messy and involve spills or dirt on a table,
please clean up the table after you're done and throw away your trash.
And please don't leave any of your personal items on the tables at sudoroom.
I hope this will not continue to be a problem.
thank you,
-jake
Greetings!
For discussion & possible consensus at the next Omni Delegates Meeting on
March 1st:
I'd like to propose that Omni pay for an exhibition table ($100) at the Allied
Media Conference <https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc> this summer in Detroit.
I will be attending, albeit also as a representative for Sudo Mesh.
For those unfamiliar with the conference, it's one of the radder ones I've
heard of over the past decade - but have never attended myself. The theme
is essentially the intersection of social justice and media - what AMC
describes as "media-based organizing
<https://www.alliedmedia.org/media-based-organizing>," defined as "any
collaborative process that uses media, art, or technology to address the
roots of problems and advances holistic solutions towards a more just and
creative world." This is the 20th annual conf, which is always located in
*Detroit*, and takes place this summer from *June 14-17*.
Are any other collective members also planning to attend? Would you be
interested in sharing an Omni table to display info about your projects
and/or helping to staff the table for some shifts throughout the duration
of the conference?
*Please forward this email along to your collectives so we can assess our
capacity to participate!*
If there aren't a few other Omni collective members able to come and help
staff the table, perhaps Omni could share Sudo Mesh's table and collectives
could provide me with some of your handouts / brochures / flyers / arts /
etc for display
Please send a reply to me or to discuss(a)omnicommons.org if you'd like to
help with organizing around AMC!

REMINDER: we are starting work now to close up the walls in the

Might there be a locker space, or half-locker space, available to
use or rent?
Nick and I both tinker on old tube audio amplifiers, and would like to
bring in some projects. The main items of concern are old vacuum tubes.
They're fragile, and kind of a pain to replace.
Best,
K
Dear friends,
At last night's delegates meeting we spent over an hour talking about
RunningWolf. The delegates did not make any new consensus decisions,
but we did review the status quo at length and it now seems clear to
me that:
* Nobody is satisfied with how mediation went
* Many are unsatisfied with his signed statement
* Several people feel that he has personally harassed and threatened them
* When I approved ZRW's key card last week, I acted too quickly
* If his return had been directly proposed to delegates, several would
have blocked
* Many people who I value and care about feel *very* strongly that
they cannot share space with ZRW, to the point where including ZRW
would implicitly exclude them
After hearing all these things, I decided the best thing would be to
revoke his card. Julian and I went upstairs and told him. It was
raining, so we didn't ask him to leave right away, but we told him
that next time he left, he would not be able to get back in.
We spoke for over an hour, and I tried my best to be on good terms
given the circumstances. This was my first extended interaction with
the man, and I understand now why his situation has been so
controversial and so insidious. He talks a good talk about Berkeley
politics, pollution and indigenous sovereignty, he has done real
admirable work as a tree-sitter, and he is an accomplished street
artist whose medicine wheels on every bike path have added joy to
countless lives in our city. He is unquestionably an elder, and
deserves to be treated as such.
He's also a petty, self-centered, delusional liar who seems completely
unable to take any criticism or undergo any of the necessary personal
growth or accountability of a "restorative" or "transformative"
justice process. I see a man who cannot work meaningfully with others,
who's made a long career out of burning bridges, for whom Omni is just
one more proxy battle in his war against masonic lodges, UC regents,
and anybody else he can blame for his conflicts other than himself and
his own behavior. He told me directly that he has no respect for any
mediation process, and doesn't care about how anybody else feels. He
plainly admitted to making threats to break our windows, and to
actually doing similar acts of sabotage (such as cutting off Berkeley
Liberation Radio's antenna) although he claimed he never followed
through on the threat against Omni, saying "I never do just one
window".
He claims to speak for a Real Oakland of vigilante justice which will
rise out of the woodwork to avenge him. Don't buy it. Don't let him
appropriate black struggle when all it means is glorifying gang
violence and throwing the N word around. Don't let him insult his own
ancestors by acting a fool in their name. And most of all, don't let
him distract us from all the other important work we can be doing
besides enabling his abuse.
I tried to give him my best, but he doesn't want it. I am done. I will
no longer waste any time advocating for him to be inside Omni. I am
content with this being the end of this road.
With love and solidarity,
Yar
