Last week's meeting recorded here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-09-02 This week's meeting recorded for posterity here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-09-09 *Sudo Room Meeting 9 Sep 2015* =Intros= * Icebreaker: Do you see the fnords? * marc/juul/he: i _do_ see the fnord. they're everywhere * robb/he: all the time * morgan: i do not see them, and i fixed chrome * lesley/*(gender pronoun is speakers' choice): some fnords I can see, but most likely not all. * matt/he: all i see is fjords (fnords). * jeremy: still don't know what a fnord is * sigma-remote/they: see a what? This icebreaker makes me uncomfortable * remote-jnny/she: wut =Announcements= * Matt finished the flyer for the upcoming Omni rent party where we're going to try to make the shortfall of funding up ($5000). We're gonna have a rummage sale and need people to help find stuff in sudo that we can sell for the sale. ** Sat 9/19 10 am to 8 pm. Live venues in too places. It's gonna be a big ass blowout. We need volunteers to cook, setup, teardown, etc. etc. =Finances= * $2,871.49 in the bank * Monthly expenses are on the order of $2400/month. * We should endeavor to have at least $7500 in the bank as reserve * $400 filing fee for 501c3 application * Will need to pay rent early this month to ensure Omni can pay rent, luckily we'll be able to! =New Members= =Proposals= * Kyle Mitchell, who's been working on our 501c3 application, has volunteered to be sudo's official Secretary, one of the 3 roles we have to fill for our nonprofit status ** Matt previously Secretary, bump to 'President'? (I prefer supreme ruler of heck hell +1 +1 ) *** Let's ask around for people who can act as officers. *** Matt would prefer to be neither secretary nor president. *** Matt will do whatever is necessary to keep the sudo room community alive. ** Marc listed as Treasurer. Does he want to remain so or hand off to Jenny? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ Some concerns that it might not be ideal for all the parties (Kyle, sudo room, the membership, etc). Should hear Kyle out see what he things makes doing this worth it. =Conflicts/Bans= * Manual (also goes by 'Manny') was asked to leave and never return for repeatedly stealing from sudo room after being repeatedly told not to. May assert that 'Jake told me I can take e-waste'. ** See https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2015-September/011054.html for more context * Draft of message to send all the members: ** Warning to all members: *** If you see anyone, specifically a person named Manny (or Manual), removing items from the sudo room, demand that they consult a member of the sudo room first before doing so. Manny has repeatedly taken usable, desirable items from sudo room (effectively theft). Manny has been told he is not welcome at sudo room and he is not welcome to remove any items from sudo room for any reason. Do not trust name-dropping, especially if they refer to "Jake" or say "Jake says it's okay". Demand you see the actual message, or contact the member directly before letting someone go with items. Thanks, Matt * We will put up a big sign saying "get permission from a member before removing anything from sudo room" that we generate with http://rasterbator.net/ * sigma-remote: Worth suggesting to people who are asking individuals to leave to take a picture as an initial step? If so, maybe including in the mass email? =Action Items= * Send Kyle our bank info for 501c3 filing fee [Jenny] ** Question of what is our bank account number? IFCU lists a generic ICFU 'account number' in addition to routing number and suggests adding a note listing our individual account #. I see a Member # on our bank statement but can't find anything specifying an 'account number.' Maybe someone who set up our Stripe or Paypal knows? With many credit unions, "member number" = "acount number". Thanks for that tip! Sure, I'm trying ot google 'IFCU' specifically but am not even finding a definite result. *** https://internetcreditunion.org/special-posts/wire-money-to-your-account/ Ok...well, I can't find anything on their site, but according to https://www.oregoncommunitycu.org/resources-tools/glossary, "member number" is "the unique number that identifies you as a member of our credit union." *** Account Number = Member Number -- Matt =Interesting talks= * CCCamp talks: https://media.ccc.de/browse/conferences/camp2015/index.html * Battlemesh talks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxfh-2aOR5hZUjxJLQ2CIHw * Defcon talks (incomplete?): https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2023/DEF%20CON%2023%20presentations/ -- Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

caught someone apparently stealing from sudoroom

by robb

today a guy (claimed his name was manny) was taking 2 monitors and trying to take more stuff when i asked him who he was and what he was doing (jeremy had already informed me he was "e-wasteing" in coordination with jake. sounding similar to a prior incident that matt intervened in, i pressed him for when he last spoke with jake about e-wasting the things on our shelves. he claimed he last talked to jake months ago, which sounded even more like the case matt described. i informed him that he needed to bring the items back and he left, not to return. matt (the senate) can i get a description of the guy you caught "e-wasting" our harddrives? ~r

Invitation: Conversations about Race at the Omni

by transcultural cinema

Dear friends, lovers and acquaintances of the Omni Commons, Consider these questions: * How does racial justice relate to economic justice and anti-capitalism? * How does racism affect each of us as individuals and as a community? * Why is there no such thing as “reverse racism”? * What does it mean to experience intersectional oppression? * What kinds of structures and processes can help us dismantle forces of oppression at the Omni? If you have ever wanted to discuss any of these questions, if you are interested in racial justice, or if you have experienced racism at the Omni, you are invited to join in a series of conversations about race and racism to be hosted weekly at the Omni for the month of September. The conversations will be structured as racial identity caucuses. Racial identity caucusing is a strategy that recognizes racism as a system that effects different racial groups very differently. There will be space at the start of each caucus to discuss the use of this strategy. Anyone unfamiliar with the strategy is encouraged to check out the resource attached to this email. We will begin with a three-part series for September, which can be continued if there's interest: *People of Color-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 13th, 12pm-3pm *White-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 20th, 12pm-3pm *Open to all Caucus*: Sunday, September 27th, 12pm-3pm *Lunch: 12pm-1pm, Conversation: 1-3pm* The conversations will be hosted in the *Disco Room*, and there will be a potluck lunch beforehand, so please bring an open heart and something tasty. If you plan to attend, RSVP to transculturalcinema(a)gmail.com with the following information: which caucus you plan to attend, what food you can bring, whether you are interested in co-facilitating, and any questions or issues you would like to discuss. These caucuses/conversations are being hosted as part of the *Becoming Omni *process, which is a 30-hr. Visioning and Planning Process currently being planned for the beginning of October. We welcome all those interested in helping shape the future of the Omni to join in this process. If you want to learn more, please email becoming(a)lists.omnicommons.org Love & solidarity, Libbie -- *Omni Commons* 4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland, CA 94609 *omnicommons.org <http://omnicommons.org>*

sudoroom Cube -> 3D Model (anyone interested in making a SudoRoom tesseract?)

by Romy Ilano

We were talking about different projects last Thursday night. It got us into discussing tesseracts, which are 3 dimensional representations of 4 dimensional space. Just digging this up from our folders - because I'm not sure everyone has seen this. but did you know that someone made a *3D model of a SudoRoom cube?* - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:96468 Would this picture of a tesseract be an honorary SudoRoom cube as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract#/media/File:Schlegel_wireframe_8-ce… Then, since all the tesseract models depict a cube, would this 3D printed model be a SudoRoom Tesseract? http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-4-Dimensional-Tesseract-Hypercube-Model-… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
