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

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Application for membership - The Mess

by Jenny Ryan

New Omni member application! We can discuss it at the Wednesday meeting. Cheers, Jenny ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 12:07 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Application for membership - The Mess To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Renée <rmlevesque(a)gmail.com>, "Sang S. Kim" <sangkimsf(a)gmail.com> *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. 7.

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. :)

Hardware Hacking Tuesday sub this week?

by Jake

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 -jake

need power strips for sudoroom

by Jake

this is a simple request. If you have extra power strips, we could use them at sudoroom. presently the 3d printer desk does not have enough outlets, and neither does the computer building station to the right of it (the red standing desk thing with the KVM switch and the CNC machine) also if you have those plastic UPS things we can use those too, even if their batteries are no good. power strips can be left on the main table and we'll put them to work. thank you! -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] New subscription request to list members from radiobuzzer@radiofono.gr (fwd)

It was somebody who recently became a Sudoroom member, and tried to subscribe to the members list. Then you got an email because you're an admin of the members list. Then you leaked their personal email by forwarding it to sudo-discuss. You should not do that. As a list admin, people are trusting you not to do that. Do you want to be a list admin?
