Looking for large picnic cooler(s) for tomorrow

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Does anyone have a large picnic cooler that we could borrow for a day or two, tomorrow to Thursday? The larger and well-insulated the better. Please let us know as soon as possible, because we'll need them by tomorrow (Wed.) evening We are going to defrost our ultracold -80C freezer in CCL, so we plan to move all its content to some big coolers with dry ice in the mean time. We don't have anything hazardous in the freezer, plus everything is well packaged, and we will clean and bleach your cooler before and after we use it, so you should be getting it back cleaner than when you gave it to us. If you have one available, please contact me or Yann (CC'd), and let us know if you can drop it off, or where we can pick it up. We plan to start emptying the freezer the Wednesday evening, and fill it back up again the next day. Thanks! Patrik

Aqua Vita proposal?

by Corey

re: cafe in front entrance The proposal was brought up last week as something being voted on by delegates. Couldn’t find it in the omni lists nor on these lists. Where can I find the proposal? I want our collective to have a voice on the matter, maybe we can get a discussion going (or point me to where one is already happening?) thanks -- Corey | @stackptr

New membership policy on wiki

by Corey

Hello list, Following last night's meeting I’ve gone ahead and updated the wiki with the amended rules proposed by yar from the March 14th meeting. I was not present at that particular meeting but chatted with yar earlier to make sure I understood the proposal. I encourage you all to read the revised Membership page <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Membership> and fill in any gaps. Also please join the [sudo-members] list, where new member nominations will happen and be discussed separate from this list. The Declaration to Intent form on sudoroom.org should now be sending emails there as well. -- Corey | @stackptr

Fwd: Donations for pickup

by Toan Nguyen

Anyone wants to do this (maybe delicious) ready to eat food pick up? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shannon Mason <shannom(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 10:28 PM Subject: Donations for pickup To: Toan Nguyen <Guqinone(a)gmail.com> Hi! my friend's office has well-packaged catered food left over most weeks. I've been picking up donations but will be moving outta town after this weekend. It's usually 6-15 servings, meat separate from other offerings, some packages of rice, some bags of veggies. Would you know someone who can commit to pick up from downtown Oakland—16th St & Telegraph—on Fridays between 5 and 5:15 PM? Brittney’s phone number is (510)684-0170. Thanks, Shannon

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Agenda Item: ABDC Transition

by hol＠gaskill.com

If at some point in the future Omni decides to re-donate those tools, would that be a problem for ABCD? If the answer to that question is yes then I think the correct word is "storage" not "donation." Generally the less the basement is used as storage space the better and we would all love to see better utilization of the basement in any way valuable to the community. On that topic I would love to consolidate woodworking equipment and wood from elsewhere in the omni to the basement (with proper fire safety provisions) and have a dedicated woodshop there serving the whole Omni as well, only tying this in here because I hope there would be room for both. We turned away alot of really great organizations toward the beginning of the Omni because we didn't want to "balkanize" (DK's words) the basement but I fear that has blunted alot of energy to transform the space and sent collectives to other spots. As with past such requests a floorplan showing proposed areas and equipment would better help the member collectives make an informed decision.
