Greetings sudo!
We've had some great momentum these past few weeks, especially on Tuesday
nights, organizing our resources and separating the cruft. On September
16th, the Omni will be hosting the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair, and thus
the building will be swarming with awesome radicals from all over. I
propose having the space looking spacious and beautiful by September 15th.
Abe suggested this would be a great opportunity for us to host some
workshops in the back.
At last night's mesh …
[View More]meeting, we discussed having a mini-BYOI (Build Your
Own Internet) workshop, and announce the larger one we'll be hosting the
following Saturday for those interested in learning more.
The Bookfair runs from 10am-6pm. Robb and I are thinking we should organize
an afterparty. Not sure if there is anything already planned, but it makes
sense and would be hella fun :)
Thoughts / volunteers to host an open house, afterparty and/or some other
workshops that day?

Hi there,
I am making a light-up sign and need to cut some letters into a 6'x3.5'
plywood sheet.
Do you have the expertise to do this, and access to a machine? There is
some $ in it for your time.
Thank you,
Anca

Subject: [omni-discuss] Anarchist Bookfair at Omni 9/16
To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Hey Commoners,
I want to make sure everyone knows that we have a big all-day event on
Saturday 9/16 that is an opportunity for collectives to let politically
aligned folks know what is going on at the Omni. The Anarchist Bookfair is
…
[View More]an event we have wanted to host for a long time and I would love to see our
collectives have a presence. The fair will be using the entire entrance and
and ballroom floor area, but there are other things you can do if you don't
have an official table. Omni doesn't have one :/
I encourage you to:
- set up a table in either of the mezzanine areas with information about
what you are doing and how people can get involved
- have copies of your brochures ready to put out. If you aren't going to be
there, give them to another Omni group to display
The Sudo/CCL area will probably have a lot of people walking through to
check it out. It would be great to have people there ready to talk about
their group and the Omni.
See you at the Bookfair!
Laura

hey sudoers,
i met w/Lisa Rein this afternoon. she asked me to do the live stream of the
Aaron Swartz Hackathon at internet archive on nov. 4-5.
she's going to pay me but i'm going to donate the $ to sudoroom.
if anyone wants to collaborate, plz, let me know.
plan so far:
multi-camera shoot of the stage
webpage of live or uploaded video from associated hackathons around the
globe
wandering camera stream
semi-autonomous video corner for interviews or whatever
remote Barret Brown interview/…
[View More]presentation from texas
remote video exchanges from other hackathons
use jangouts <https://github.com/jangouts/jangouts> for remote participants
additionally, i'll be going to internet archive w/Lisa sometime in the next
few weeks & expect to get a chance to talk to Brewster about the $10,000 he
said he'd give Omni Commons when we bought the building :)
cheers

i am ordering repair parts for the sudoroom bandsaw, including "bandsaw tires"
(rubber rings that ride on the rollers inside the saw so the blade doesn't fall
off anymore)
but it's still missing the "throat plate" or "table insert" which is a square
plate with a slot cut into it, and it's what holds up the material being cut.
it needs to be 1/8" thick and 1.5" square, and then we can use the bandsaw to
cut the slot into it (that's the easy part)
it looks a lot like this, except it should be …
[View More]made of metal ideally:
https://cdn.instructables.com/FJG/0GY9/H82U8CS5/FJG0GY9H82U8CS5.LARGE.jpg
however if it's made of plastic or acrylic or something not as strong as metal,
it will have to be thicker than 1/8" (except at the edges where it has to sit
on the shelf)
here's a video of someone making one from scratch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsWLQDdWlG0
can someone make this plate? ideally out of aluminum, i think.
