Does anyone have a truck I can borrow for an hour or two this afternoon? Need to remove a bit more concrete debris and dirt from the Phat Beets room, left over from our plumbing work for CCL. Can repay you with two bags of unused concrete mix, if inetersted... Thanks! Patrik

Fwd: [OpenCon] CFP: Citizen Science and Citizen Labs - 31/01/2017

Interesting opportunity to write about experiences at sudo and ccl.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Proposal: Repurpose 'Omni1' 501c3 into a Land Trust

by David Keenan

Hi all, So sorry to spam all the lists.. After a month, I'm bumping this proposal up again for this Thursday's omni delegates' meeting / GA, because it has become suddenly pressing in the wake of the Ghostship fire. I was really hoping member collectives might be able have had some discussion about this and hopefully attned this thursday's meeting to achieve quorum (and maybe even, pass the proposal? :) The proposal is in essence the following: 1. Repurpose Omni's 'extra' 501c3 corporation we no longer need, which originally was going to be wound down, to be used as a non-profit Land Trust and resource specifically for DIY / community spaces (also for DIY living spaces) currently in need of much support as they are presently facing a wave of punitive code enforcement and eviction. 2. For this to happen, some logistical hoops have to be jumped through: - Complete the disengagement of omni's finances of last year, from our old 501c3. Yes, I'm told this could take a while, but I'm optimistic :) - Mild modifications to the old c3's statement of purpose, charitable activities, bylaws (this being mostly low-level stuff.) Jesse, our lawyer, has verified this should be possible. 3. After such a proposal was approved and the necessary logistical steps taken, this land trust could then optionally become omni's land trust, at the collective's choosing -- i.e., a Trust ensuring that the building stays used for community use into the foreseeable future and follows its own bylaws, founding document, statement of solidarity etc long after we are all gone. Personally I think this is very important to the long-term survival of omni, but that particular aspect, of being Omni's land trust specifically, is *not* part of the scope of this proposal at this time, as it would have to be a later and more substantial proposal unto itself, encompassing many logistical aspects. So this proposal is just a proposed use for our old 501c3, for when we have fully disengaged our finances from it and no longer need it. 4. In the immediate wake of Ghostship (note: which occurred after I made the original proposal), members of the wider oakland community assembled to help DIY spaces stave off eviction, code-related closures, and to commit core fire life-safety improvements: The 'DIY Safety Group'. This group, which I (among many) helped to assemble, currently raises donations for such work, and this money is presently being stewarded by Omni as a fiscally sponsored project to the tune of ~7% in fees (not atypical for a sponsoring 501c3.) The sooner Omni is able able to unmoor our 'extra' 501c3 corporation to use as a land trust dedicated to helping and preserving DIY spaces like Omni, the sooner that group can take on the accounting overhead, eliminate this 7% fee and rather use 100% of funds raised to help other critical community spaces are currently being actively threatened. Anyhow I am hoping the dire needs of the community at large in this time is enough to get quorum Thursday and hopefully, consensus on the productive use of this extra c3 per this proposal :) If anyone has any questions or objections, please fire away :) Best, David On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 8:19 AM, Kazoo Studios <lovekazoo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hey David! > > I like the way you're thinking, and the direction things are moving. > Creating the land trust out of the former c3 seems prudent in terms of > effort, money, and time.

privacy / crypto group - any ideas for a workshop on privacy with home voice assistants?

by Romy Ilano

Hey privacy folks - I recently got an Amazon Dash (Echo) and I'm messing around with Alexa. While there are a lot of great things about it, and I'm having fun as a developer creating, I'm interested to see what your perspective is for mainstream people. I saw this article on wired: https://www.wired.com/2016/12/alexa-and-google-record-your-voice You can tease me if you want: I use Siri and I'm interested in Alexa, and I'm sure many of you would never want to use these things. But I'm interested in the advantages and disadvantages of stuff like Alexa and Google Home. I'd love to hold a little workshop on it sometime, maybe after a meeting in January. Any opinions? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

non-profit/collective bike rentals / bike shares

by Romy Ilano

Hey matt, I have a guest in town from Greece. We are doing the usual bike rental thing from a cool bike shop. But are there alternatives to for-profit bike rental in Oakland? Does your collective rent bikes? Can people rent bikes on a platform for something that's not part of a big corporation or a start-up? Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

transportation hack group -> let's start one

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/hacking-a-tesla-at-hardware-hack-night/ Hey I stopped by sudoroom! and the hardware guys were hacking on a tesla. We have people working at a bike collective too. we are all passionate about trains, I think some sudoroom members have travelled cross country on train as well. And we all know that we love BART and it needs all the help it gets as it reaches epic overcrowding. I'm going to start a SudoRoom transportation hack group! We can cross fertilize at Noisebridge... So there it is! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement I started the Wiki. I'll have more time over break to help out. Some thoughts: - I do not want to this to only be about ride share, although that's important. It'd be cool to have a communal, non-profit alternative to the current car sharing options out there. - Trains!!!!! - Cars - although I don't know that much about cars, I have worked for a car company and have owned a car for the past ten years. I still don't know that much about cars! There is no such thing as a car mechanic collective the way there is a bike mechanic collective. Bike collectives often have a "get to know you bike night" and nothing of that kind exists for cars. The only time I've interacted with cars is at car dealerships and at work and at a mechanic. Until recently I've received little or no detailed data about my car, and its health until a start-up had one of its indie mechanics fill out a "Car report card" for me. I'd love to have something similar for us! Rock on hope you are all enjoying your break! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
