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. <3 jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Steve causing problems at omni/sudoroom

by Jake

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. -jake

Can some announce the arduino class on twitter

by Noah Glaser

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. https://www.meetup.com/Oakland-Code-School/events/xjgdkpyxfbnb/ Thank you Noah

keeping a table clean at sudoroom

by Jake

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

Discussion Item: Omni Table at Allied Media Conference

by Jenny Ryan

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! <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Locker for Tube Audio

by Kyle Mitchell

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

Update on Zachary RunningWolf

by Yardena Cohen

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

Fwd: [sudo-info] Request to use your space to shoot an interview

by Yardena Cohen

Do we want to do this? I'm not even sure who would sign their form. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 2:35 PM Subject: [sudo-info] Request to use your space to shoot an interview To: info(a)sudoroom.org Hello! My name is Frank and I'm a senior producer for Vox's new series of explainers for Netflix. I'm coming to San Francisco Tuesday evening to shoot an interview with Jackson Palmer, the creator of Dogecoin for our episode about cryptocurrencies early next week. I'm looking for spaces where we could shoot and Jackson suggested that I reach out to hackerspaces in the area. Sudo Room looks especially cool and I would love to shoot there! We would need Sudo Room to sign a location release allowing it to appear on Netflix, which I attached to this email for you to review. I would also need relative quiet during the shoot. I apologize about the short notice, but if these conditions don't sound to onerous, I would be thrilled to interview Jackson in such an awesome setting.
