Hey ya'll, I'm throwing an event. Blurb:
-----
*Hack the Left* is an anticapitalist hackathon, February 5-7 at Noisebridge.
This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists
in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and
anticapitalist projects using technology. This includes software projects
like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project
and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers,
and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Terrorism Project and Food
Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for
liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it.
We also need people involved with left-aligned organizations, technical or
not, to show up and help guide all the technical folks towards doing things
that are actually useful. We want to build with, not for.
For more information and the answers to probably all of your questions,
please check out the website, hacktheleft.com (redirects to the
Noisebridge wiki
page <https://noisebridge.net/wiki/HackTheLeft>).
Cost is a recommended donation of $15. In the unlikely event that this
makes any money, it will be donated to Noisebridge.
-----
I'd love for people with a wide range of skills to come, from programmers
to artists to welders. Right now I'm especially interested in getting
people involved with existing lefty projects and organizations to think
about coming and guiding teams towards doing useful things -- if that
sounds like it might be you, please get in touch (or at least come so we
can maybe build something with you).
Cheers,
Brandon

Hey all,
I got word that Max Cadgi can't find his bike which seems to have been
removed from omni commons yesterday. I also had left a bike here last night
(stupidly I left it unlocked in the sudo room) that is also now gone!
If anyone sees a gold benotto 50th anniversary steel road bicycle frame,
possibly still with blue handlebar tape or a blue tool bag on the
handlebars, please let me know.
cc'd max so he can describe his bike too.

Please come join us today at 2pm to reassemble our large OpenTrons lab
robot.
We'll also have a discussion at 1pm with folks from BioCurious on whether
we want to spend thousands of dollars to participate in the iGEM synthetic
biology again this year, or whether we are going to put together a
parallel biohackathon for the DIYbio community.

A location that we're doing an install needs a little bit of electrical
work before we can put some radios on their roof.
Specifically, I think it would include:
- Breaking out wire from some existing conduit outdoors and adding another
section of conduit.
- Installing a NEMA (outdoor weatherproof electrical/etc.) box.
- Adding a breaker to the circuit breaker where the second line in the
conduit would connect.
This would be a huge help as this location has the potential to be a pretty
awesome hub and we just need a little work to get it up and going.
Thanks a bunch!

As one of the people with the ability to edit the Front Door Magnetic Card
Access System, I have a few questions for everyone to think about:
What are our requirements for information kept on each card? This
information is only available to people like myself with root access on
the door control computer.
I was going on the assumption that, for each card able to open the door,
we should store the following information:
1. the name or nym identifying the person who will be using the card
2. a way to contact that person (phone number or email)
3. at least one affiliation with a member collective (sudo, CCL, BAPS etc)
I have been seeing cards getting added to the records without #2 and #3
and I wonder if we, as Omni, thing this is a sustainable policy.
Also, I don't know how many people have access to the door control
computer, and access is presently anonymous. Is this something that
should be more curated? We have a mailing list access(a)lists.sudoroom.org
but I never get any responses from anyone on the list.
thanks for your thoughts on this.

Hey (Rob),
