we are all starving for a warm place to hack, and sudoroom attendance is
reduced for obvious reasons.
what we need is a warm room to hack, and i propose the following:
we tarp above the server balcony of sudoroom, and seal the whole thing
like a room. To enter from the steps you have to pull back a magnetically
sealed thing or maybe we can make a hinged door thing, i don't know.
all the heat from the servers (and people hacking in there) will be
conserved and it will be social in addition to being warm.
I have some lighting that might be appropriate, to help people feel like
they're in the sun, as well as providing warmth.
also it will be a nice chance to clean up that area and move things around
and make it a hacking zone again.
HOW CAN I HELP?
if you have tarps or sail material or blankets or rope or anything you
think could be used to close off the area, let's talk about it to see if
it will work. If you bring it in on your own I hope you install it too -
it might take some carpentry or something to have places to attach it.
I think the ceiling should be about 10' high, or whatever it takes to
enclose the eastern shelves up there and securely seal to the wall.
if you know what any of the stuff is upstairs, and think you can clean up
or move things elsewhere, please do that. We have a lot of printers and I
don't know which ones are good or bad, and there are a lot of stereo
systems and computers up there that maybe need to be put back into
inventory, or put in the e-waste pile.
also it's really dirty and dusty up there, so if you know where is a
vacuum and/or brooms/dustpans please help get it clean up there.
please write back if you think this is a good idea.

It sounds like kind of a noisy, hellish place, what with the server
noise, the claustrophobia, to say nothing of the high density of geeks,
but I guess I'm pretty well insulated so I'm failing to see the charm.
That typed, I do have a truck for transport, and a few spare tarps left
over from Occupy as well as some spare lights and power strips that
would be required to make such a place semi-habitable. Give me a holler
if and when you want this to happen.

Hey all,
Please join me this Saturday 1/9 at 7pm at Omni Commons to share and
reflect on the untimely passing of a good friend. I'd really like to
discuss informally with others some ways to respond to this situation in
our community.
For anyone who had the privilege to meet Goto during his brief visits to
Omni Commons and Sudo Room this fall, I have some sad news:
On November 14th of 2015, Goto and another person were found off the 101 in
Richardson Grove near Garberville. They had been ejected from a car that
came off the highway heading North. The highway patrol was unable to
identify which of the two men were driving and no criminal charges were
pursued. Goto was found deceased on the scene, the other person was
seriously injured and transferred to a hospital.
According to the Humboldt County Coroner I spoke with, this second person
was in a coma and probably did not come out of it. The CHP was not willing
/ able to provide me with any contact information of this other person or
their family, and I have been unable to proceed further on this thread.
I was also informed by the Coroner that there was alcohol found in the
blood of both victims. The CHP reported alcohol was found in the car as
well.
It is certainly unclear what exactly happened, what precisely led to this
crash, but regardless, this is a very sad tragedy, and most importantly,
Goto will be sorely missed.
For those that did not know him, you are very welcome to join and learn
about a dear friend and comrade who has left us in body, but not in spirit.
Love and solidarity,
Matt Senate
New Omni member application! We can discuss it at the Wednesday meeting.
Cheers,
Jenny

*Hi everyone, The Mess Sketch Comedy Troupe had rehearsals here a month or
so ago. They love the space and what we are doing and decided to apply to
be a member collective. They will be at the delegates meeting on Thursday
to answer questions. Please discuss their application with your
collectives. *
1. Mission Statement
THE MESS is a theatre troupe and collective of writers, dancers, singers,
actors, and mischief makers who are out to do comedy that is a reflection
of the Bay Area’s diverse culture.
2. Origin and Group History
THE MESS is a sketch comedy troupe based in California's East Bay with
writers, dancers, singers, actors, and mischief makers from all over the
globe. In Fall 2011, Renée LeVesque and a group of theatre folks began
hosting a weekly pirate radio show on Radio Valencia in San Francisco. What
they quickly discovered is that doing live action theatre was their real
passion. They began asking the question, what if instead of trying to
convince a big theatre to do a show we liked, we just did our own show with
people whose work we enjoyed? What if we cast people who were not only
great actors, but willing to take risks and perform parts they normally
wouldn’t get cast for? What if we created a room for comedy writers that
was welcoming, where they could collaborate on scripts rather than compete
for stage time? The group rented space for trade at Chez Poulet, a
warehouse in San Francisco’s mission district. They rehearsed, pooled their
resources, and on Valentine’s Day 2012 put on their very first show at
Stage Werx SF.
As of 2015, the group has moved to the East Bay, expanded its troupe to
include over 30 performers, directors, writers, and designers. Each show is
a collective effort with each member contributing to the performance from
its creation to final bow. Everyone works, everyone participates, everyone
has a seat at the comedy table with a focus on performances that celebrate
the Bay Area’s diversity, and create immersive comedic experiences with a
lean toward the theatrical.
3. How would you participate in and contribute to the Omni?
THE MESS would like to be the house performance troupe at The Omni Commons.
To us that would mean participating in open houses, community outreach and
any other collective activity that The Omni hosts. We would also have
representatives participate in improving/repairing the Ballroom Space, the
Disco Room, and helping to maintain the other common spaces. THE MESS would
also host workshops, classes, and performances at The Omni to increase
interest and appreciation for the space itself and for the collectives that
call the Omni home.
4. How does your collective support itself financially? What would you be
able to afford in rent?
THE MESS sells tickets to each show at the rate of $15 plus (sliding
scale). Our ticket sales average 40- 60 people per performance. We plan to
use ticket sale revenue to help the Omni with its expenses. At present, we
can afford $300 per month total plus a share of the common expenses such as
utilities. If we are able to increase programing in 2016 (shows, workshops,
etc.), we would be able to discuss contributing more.
5. What are your space needs, especially for dedicated (locked or not
shared) space?
Ideally, we would like to steward, share and help improve and maintain the
Disco Room. Essentially, our typical needs are average 3 to 4 nights a week
in the evenings from approximately 6PM to 10PM.
In addition, we would volunteer to help coordinate the calendar for other
events that the Collective, Delegates and Commons wish to hold in the Disco
room. Improvements, we would like to build include a locked cabinet
(approx. 8 feet x 8 feet) in the Disco Room to store equipment, props, and
costumes.
Any other improvements we can help assist to support the Omni in renting
out the space to other groups in the community.
6. Statement of Solidarity
We, The Mess agree and are committed to the Omni Collective’s shared
political vision of more equitable communing of resources and meeting human
needs over private interests or corporate profit. If accepted as a member
collective, we promise to adhere to the Collectives’ solidarity and
anti-capitalist political perspective. The Mess has always and will
continue to practice openness, diversity and community through the arts and
in general practice.

I like the idea of a warm space. Sucks that it won't be wheelchair
accessible. Maybe once all the able-bodied people have been collected
into one corner, we'll stop blocking the aisles with junk in the rest
of the room. :)
I am having a busy week this week, and I wonder if anyone is available to
host Hardware Hacking Tuesday at 7pm in case I am late or unavailable.
It's easy, you just say hello to new people and tell them about the space,
and help them find things if you know how, and introduce people if you
think it makes sense.
You just have to be able to show up on Tuesday by 7PM and you can leave at
10 or 11 if you want.
thank you
