I work well when learning in clean minimalist empty areas. Do you think it'd be kosher to carve out a clean minimalist space in the Sudoroom ? Sent from my iPhone

sudoroom visitor report: todo / blog post of the javascript meetup last night

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Javascript Last night I dropped by the SudoRoom JavaScript meetup. - *mental state:* I was honestly extremely fatigued, as I have been skipping a few hours of sleep in the past few weeks. Each hour shaved off my sleeping schedule seemed like a tiny thing I was really tired, so I was unable to socialize much with everyone. Despite that it was cool just being around other people who were learning and hacking. I was actually trying to get other work done too, and I don't have time to go deep into javascript. But being around the community at SudoRoom and knowing that *Oakland is javascript cit*y <https://oaklandwiki.org/javascript> got me over my "issues" with JavaScript. I chatted with people, continue to be unable to get some components of sudo-humans installed since I have a mac. (it's the canvas installation and node gyp rebuild that's hitting me) I'll try to get back to that later and help out. So I just went through a tutorial while brushing up on javascript with online learning. I've worked with node.js before, and it's a little hard for javascript beginners to get into since it's so involved but with a little practice I'm able to work it. I've started using node.js for simple scripting jobs. I mostly work as an iPhone programmer but it's nice to be able to do scripts in python and node.js to do busy work. I went over this tutorial, so this is the rough equivalent to a ruby on rails app: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/ it's nice having had the web background in ruby on rails through the rails bridge outreach program. they're the people who first got me using git and github and heroic several years ago before I decided to focus and learn programming. I'm not a rails person but it's something I'd like to get under my belt. I don't claim to know everything but i was able to get a rudimentary mongo db down with the tutorial's help I learned how to push node.js out to heroku. When I first met substack and Sudoroom i was at a hackathon and working on a node.js learning app for kids. It was a cool hackathon and substack makes learning javascript and node.js fun while throwing in a lot of art. at that time I don't think heroku supported node.js so we were using nodejitsu. but now it does, which i learned result so it doesn't look like much but i got to understand the inner workings of node.js express.js and the various frameworks. I'm not saying that it's healthy to dive into the frameworks first without knowing the language fundamentals (or relearning them after you've forgotten them) but I'm also actively reviewing stuff like inheritance, modeling objects in javascript and so on on the free access to the treehouse learning site that i get through my publicly funded san francisco library card. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/helloworld i wasn't able to understand hooking up the app to the free mongodb database on heroku. that probably isn't hard but id din't want to spend the rest of the night looking around. it was nice and quick. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/userlist i'm trying to focus but it's hard, so now i feel i've gotten past my very superficial reviews of node.js now I'm around a lot of really talented people who do a lot of work in node.js so I can ask around, and I'm capable enough now (I hope) to do a lot of self-learning and not have to be dependent on too much coursework or even a book. one of the hardest things to deal with is how quickly the languages and frameworks update. i'm primarily a mobile phone developers who's self taught but i'd like to do more web stuff and back end work, since I enjoy the speed that comes with web development. it takes a little longer to do UI on the mobile phone, and although UI is important it's a different nature and not as vital on a website. (someone will probably argue with me) so although this looks pathetic: it was nice http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/ nice because I was around a lot of javascript people, I got over my fear of node.js and javascript, and i'm on my way to making small web node.js hacks that are useful for different things <3 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Important Omni decisions

by yar

Your delegates to the Omni have lately been me, Jenny Ryan and Matt Senate. We would love more people to fill this role. We also need help making decisions which represent Sudoroom. Not enough people have been coming to meetings. Last night there were only 2-3. Other members were doing important work throughout the building, which is great but we still need to participate in Omni decisions. Here's some of the open proposals to the Omni delegates: * Finance & fundraising working groups should act quickly to buy the building * Omni should become a 501c3 * Delegates should meet weekly again * Global Womens Strike should become a member collective * Black Hole should take responsibility for their fire hazards in the basement * Use the red stage area in the basement for bike parking * Post a clear policy about using the shower Each of these proposals uses a consensus process - first we talk about the issues in order to learn what everybody's needs are. Then each collective can say yes, abstain, or block (and give a good reason). Since few people showed up to last night's meeting, I'm not sure what we're supposed to say. Should members resort to voting by email? It would help if people with concerns could make them known somehow, and people with positive feelings also. Thanks.

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Potential member group proposal guidelines fr Global Women's Strike

by yar

Hi Sudoers, The group "Global Women's Strike" wants to become a member collective of the Omni Commons. They are willing to start participating right away, and postpone a decision about dedicated space. Here is more information about them. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lori Nairne <Lori(a)allwomencount.net> Date: Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 4:48 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Potential member group proposal guidelines fr Global Women's Strike To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org, discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org Hello Omni Commons. Here are the answers to your ‘potential member group’ questions. We look forward to hearing from you. Lori, for the Global Women’s Strike. Potential member group proposal guidelines In preparing a membership proposal for your group to join Omni, please make sure to include the following points. You can answer using these questions directly or incorporate them into a format that suits your style. 1. Mission statement What do you do? What happens in the world because you exist? (1-3 sentences) Global Women’s Strike (GWS) is a grassroots multiracial women’s network whose strategy for change is ‘Invest in caring not killing’; we want resources to go to the caring of people and the planet, not to war and occupation. We campaign to make visible and establish the value of unwaged and low-waged caregiving work in the home, on the land and in the community, including justice and survival work, and to press for resources for that work. We organize autonomously as women, and within GWS as women of color, LBTQ women, women with disabilities, and sex workers, while working with men and others to attack the power relations among us and support all our struggles against capitalism. 2. Origin and group history How did you start? What have you done? (1-3 sentences) The Bay Area group was founded in 1976, Women of color, lesbian women and sex workers are in our core in the Bay Area. The US PROStitutes Collective, which is part of the GWS network, has been organizing for decriminalization of sex work and for resources so no one is forced into prostitution by poverty. Legal Action for Women has provided legal services to women and some men, including from a converted bus in the Tenderloin and Mission in SF. Queer Strike (formerly Wages Due Lesbians) was founded in 1978, organized a Lesbian Mothers Day in the Park in 1984, opposed police violence in the LGBT clubs, and most recently helped the campaign to get Chelsea Manning honored by SF Pride. We do ongoing work supporting the grassroots movements for justice vs. occupation in Haiti and Palestine. We are campaigning for a living wage for mothers and other caregivers. 3. Participation in the Omni Why are you interested in becoming a member? How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? (less than 5 sentences) We have had a good experience organizing several meetings as well as a film screening at the Omni. We are interested in becoming a member because it is clear that the Omni is a movement space and, especially given the difficult times, it is vital for those of us at the grassroots to be able to share space and ideas, and to support each other. We want to be part of building and promoting the work of the Omni. We need space for our work on projects and campaigns, meetings, self-help legal casework. Our needs are for a small space for our own meetings and projects, and use of larger collective space for meetings and events. 4. Group finances and paying rent What does your group do to support itself financially? What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? (less than 5 sentences) We are a volunteer-run organization, and we depend on in-kind and other donations to function. Our core members make regular monthly contributions. We have applied for and received grants for specific projects. We would continue to seek funding from our supporters as well as grants, and to organize fundraising film screenings and other events to contribute towards rent. We get speaking fees at times from colleges, and we sell literature, t-shirts, and accessories related to our campaigning. We can contribute $300 per month to the Omni and we are planning to help raise more funds as we can and as we work together. 5. Dedicated space If your group would like some dedicated space at the Omni, what square footage and what features are you looking for? Which specific rooms do you feel might be suitable? (1-3 sentences) If possible, we would prefer a small secure office space where we can keep a computer and other equipment, and hold a desk, table, and some chairs. This would provide some privacy especially for the casework we do, and for phone and Skype meetings and regular center work. 6. Other contributions to the Omni This question should inspire some imagination. We are exploring ideas to pay rent and purchase the building in the long-term. The basic plan is for each group paying a share of rent. Potential plans include groups sharing profit from their activities, producing Omni events, and booking other events. What is the best-case scenario for using the Omni space to further support your group? (less than 5 sentences) We had a successful screening at the Omni where we raised funds for the Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders and brought in an audience that packed the space and was overwhelmingly people of color. We see organizing other films and varied events to not only fundraise but also to bring people who might not yet know of the Omni or connect with it. One idea we have discussed with Women of Color in the Global Women’s Strike is to have a Rock Against Racism event. This would make people more aware of the work the Omni is doing as a community/communal space. We agree with profit sharing from our activities. In using the Omni space we will expand the reach of the Omni as well as our campaigning work, and will help build the movement for change. 7. Additional Is there any other information that you think would be useful for us to know about your group? (as many sentences as you like) We fought against welfare reform which was brought in by Clinton and has increased poverty and homelessness for women, children and men. We recently launched an international petition campaign demanding a Living Wage for Mothers and other Caregivers and are involved in an effort to support legislation in Congress to attack women and children’s' poverty. We have a justice work focus. US PROS been involved in legal case work with sex workers in the Bay Area, including Oakland, and recently on winning the removal of a discriminatory regulation in the California Victims Compensation Program, which denied compensation for sex workers who have been raped and brutalized. In SF we have a history of organizing against violence against sex workers – from police violence and racism to serial murders. For example, when a serial rapist was targeting women in the Mission in San Francisco, he was arrested because sex workers came forward and identified him, but a judge let him out on bail; we became involved in a 2-year campaign monitoring the court, and ultimately he was convicted. It is our view that women should be protected, though we oppose the death penalty, support closing all SHUs, and fight against torture conditions in prison. web: http://uspros.net/ We work with men who are part of Payday men's network web: http://refusingtokill.net/ We are (and have always been) anti-sexist, anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-every discrimination and anti-capitalist. We want an end to the capitalist market which is ruining our lives, health, and the earth.

$10 MyNet N600 wifi router (compatible with sudo mesh firmare)

by Marc Juul

Maximum two per customer. This is not quite as good as our recommended TP-Link N600 (internal instead of external antennas) but it's $10 instead of $40 sooo... Actually if a few people are willing to buy the maximum two per customer the mesh will buy them from you. -- marc/juul
