Computers for the Public Setup+ ALERTS (DNS + Speed)

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, *Good News!*We now have a total of 10 new data drops at the second floor where the computers for the public are. Four computers are already setup and ready to use. The other six are already active, so it is matter of bringing more computers to the table and set them up. The second one from the left was not booting up, and since I had a bootable USB with Debian 8 with me; well.. I installed Debian on it. User name: user Password: user Root's password: user -Feel free to modify that if one wish or if it required. I just wanted to have it running at least. I removed all the extra unnecessary and/or unsafe equipment that was there on that table. Excuse me that it was brought down to one of the tables at Sudo, but I was too exhausted that I just wanted to go home. *ALERTS:* DNS: At the time that I left the building, 5pm, there were some DNS issues. DNS was not resolving. Pinging Google's DNS IP 8.8.8.8 worked, but not when trying the domain name. The issue seemed intermittent. BANDWIDTH: Also, I ran a few speed tests and they area about 20Mbps / 1.5Mbps. Thanks Hassan, Sierk, and Francisco for your help during these three days of work.

The heavy breathing session at omni Sunday morning was in the New Yorker magazine

by Romy Ilano

I'm so proud of sophia ! So the cool heavy breathing event Sunday at the omni was featured in New Yorker magazine ! You all should come!! Facebook.com/heavyheavybreathing.

PHOTOGRAPH BY LISA RYBOVICH CRALLÉ > Chani Bockwinkel was wearing silver striped leggings with a pink, flowered silk muumuu because, as she said, “I feel as the instructor you’ve got to bring it.” The photographer and member of the feminist dancers’ collective SALTA read her favorite lines from Sappho, as translated by Anne Carson: > > For she who overcame everyone > in beauty (Helen) > left her fine husband > > behind and went sailing to Troy. > > “Helen’s not a passive trophy here,” Bockwinkel explained. “She has her own agency, her own desires. Sadly, that’s radical for this period of writing. So, yeah, the hope for this class today is how can we be Sapphic about it and feel our desires rather than just trying to achieve something externally?” She turned up the volume on a Dusty Springfield song. “So let’s embody that deep femme drive.” The bodies inside the Edoff Memorial Bandstand, on the shore of Oakland’s Lake Merritt, began to writhe. “Do you feel loose, heavy, buoyant?” The music changed. “We’re going to pick up the pulse here, step-touches!” > > The class, “Sappho and Sweat,” was the second offering from “Heavy Breathing,” which its co-founders describe as “a summer series of free critical theory seminars in the form of absurd, artist-led conceptual fitness experiences.” The idea came to Sophia Wang, a dancer who recently completed her Ph.D. in literature, last year. She and Lisa Rybovich Crallé, a multimedia artist, were collaborating on a sculptural installation when they took a long walk up a hill and discovered that discussing Aristotle’s conception of topos while huffing could be uniquely stimulating. > > “Of course, the body and the mind work together all the time, but it’s easy to forget the body when you’re in deep thought, or on your own,” said Wang during a class break. The Heavy Breathing kickoff, at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in June, drew about four hundred people for a marathon of Laughter Yoga, Sonic Meditation, and a “Get Pumped Up for Nothing!” session with the gay-night-club performer-turned-multimedia-performance-artist Julz Hale Mary. One session in the series combined Emily Roysdon’s essay “Ecstatic Resistance” with—naturally—resistance training, and another one, scheduled for later this summer, will offer participants the chance to discuss global risk practices while trying out Reichian somatics inside a bouncy castle. > > Only a dozen people had come for “Sappho and Sweat”—the Pride Festival was in high gear across the Bay in San Francisco—but the attendees were indeed perspiring. “So who are the contemporary people that embody this femme goddess vibe?” Bockwinkel asked as she turned on a Eurythmics song. “We’ll do jumping jacks and call them out.” She blew her gym-teacher whistle. > > “Frida Kahlo!” someone shouted. > > “Beyoncé!” > > “Annie Lennox!” > > “Jane Fonda in ‘Barbarella’!” > > Then it was time to embody someone on the list. A young woman with blonde pageboy bangs, wearing a gold shirt the texture of popcorn, began to wriggle on the floor. “Call out someone we all can be!” Bockwinkel said. > > “Angela Davis!” The group strutted. > > “Now I’m going to pass out these excerpts of Sappho, and you’re going to read them to your partner, while squatting or lunging.” When that was over, everyone shook to a Nicki Minaj song, did push-ups against partners’ backs, and learned a dance routine that began with a wild-eyed reach that Bockwinkel said reminded her of a move the British art-pop star Kate Bush would do. “Kate Bush feels it in a way that looks very Grecian to me,” she said. > > There was a cooldown of improvised goddess poses. “This is a chance to play with archetypes. Which feel powerful to you, and which feel like flat boring clichés that you don’t want to participate in?” Everyone gathered in a circle. “So, I kinda would love to hear what came up for you,” Bockwinkel said. > > “When you move while listening to the poetry, you find the rhythm in your body, which is cool,” said Rachel Simkover, an Oakland resident. > > “That is cool!” Bockwinkel said. Then she made some points about how, rather than objectifying her lover with external descriptions, Sappho uses small, specific details that let the reader inhabit the female gaze. “She doesn’t describe the lover as, like, ‘my blonde, beautiful lover,’ ” Bockwinkel said. “Instead it’s ‘Your skirt makes me want to weep.’ ” > > As the class broke up, no one seemed ready to write a dissertation, but the informal reviews were good. “It’s cool to think of being in your body as a feminist act,” said Sara Linck, a North Oakland dancer, pasta salesperson, and tenants’ rights worker. > > Adrian Leong, an intern at the Buddhist Peace Fellowship in Berkeley, towelled off. “Embodied learning is new to me, but now it is something I very much want to explore,” he said, his cheeks flushing. As he and the other participants filed out of the bandstand, Bockwinkel stood with legs hip-width apart and chin lifted high, and offered them parting verse: > > I simply want to be dead. Weeping she left me > > with many tears and said this: > Oh how badly things have turned out for us. > Sappho, I swear, against my will I leave you. > > And I answered her: > Rejoice, go and > remember me.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Pallet Jack for the Omni?

by Ed Biow

I don't believe so, Robert. But you could leave it under a pallet that has a load of equipment that we want to be semi-mobile and it wouldn't take up much extra space.

happy the omni's trying to buy the building - thanks for sticking together

by Romy Ilano

I know it's difficult, but thanks for sticking together. Jenny and other SudoRoom members have been doing a lot of sh!twork like writing grants, cleaning and getting stuff done -- it's hard work! I haven't been able to be part of any financial committees, but I know it's important even if it's not always fun. I'm passing along a notice from RPS Collective. After 10 years they are being forced to leave their space on Telegraph and 23rd It's very cool that the Omni is trying to buy the building. I can only see the rent going up steeply in Oakland in the near foreseeable future. Not only due to gentrification but also to many other macroeconomic factors. If anyone has time to help reps collective with their move you can email community(a)rpscollective.org After more than a decade in the same location, we are being forced out of our space on Telegraph and 23rd to make way for a new vision of the transforming neighborhood. The Collective's long time landlord plans to charge market value for the space, well beyond what we can afford as an all-volunteer run nonprofit. Eleven years ago we could afford market value for the space, but thanks to our success in building a vibrant community in downtown, market rate is now far out of reach. The increase will more than triple our current rate. Eleven years ago, downtown Oakland was home to mom and pop shops, socio-economically diverse, occasionally dangerous; a sometimes eccentric, sometimes wonderful, and always dynamic community. A group of artists, crafters, organizers and makers found a vacant little storefront among a sea of vacancies. With a little volunteer elbow-grease and fundraising effort, the Rock Paper Scissors Collective (RPSC) was born — a destination where the community could come together, organize, share skills, knowledge and create. ALL were welcome in the space. In the following years, a group of underground and outsider galleries, including Rock Paper Scissors, created the First Friday Oakland Art Murmur. Artists could showcase their work to an organized audience and share promotional materials, local crafters could sell their work, experimental performers could establish and gain recognition for work with little bureaucracy. Payment was on a sliding scale so no one was left behind because they were unable to pay. These types of intentional and inclusive actions drew international attention as First Friday grew to be one of the best-attended arts events in the country, drawing upwards of 20,000 visitors to the area every month who spend tens of thousands of dollars on art, music, and food supporting Oakland businesses and artists. Oakland became a city known to foster creativity thanks to the work of so many collaborating individuals and groups. The Downtown, Uptown, and KONO districts became more attractive for tourists, restaurants, and independent shops. While the original spaces that created the artistic explosion in Oakland have closed down, Rock Paper Scissors Collective continues to foster the spirit of building community through the celebration of art, skillshare and performance. Building an exciting, creative, and challenging neighborhood has been a long term project. Telegraph Avenue is rapidly transforming, and enjoys its current attractiveness due in large part to the events started by Rock Paper Scissors Collective. We are the only founding gallery that remains in business despite First Friday’s massive success, and we receive no money from the event beyond what sales we make. First Friday is a locus of Do It Yourself (DIY) and Do It Together (DIT) art, but we are one of the few galleries in the area that fully embraces emerging and outsider artists. We provide a space for everyone to feel comfortable and invited. This space has become attractive to wealthier tenants BECAUSE of the years of hard work we have put in building a community of engaged artists, musicians, and performers, and as a reward we are being kicked out to make way for a wealthier class of renters. Will they share RPSC's dedication to making art accessible for everyone? Will they be as community focused? Will they stand in solidarity with the people of Oakland, as we have? We have been a reliable, consistent tenant for over ten tumultuous years, as businesses opened and closed, as the country went through war and recession, as Oakland and the Bay Area went from boom to bust and back again. We have hosted thousands of shows, concerts, and classes, on everything from Street Art to programming, from activism to zines, featuring artists and musicians from around the East Bay. We are being priced out of our space not because of anything we have done, but simply due to the cold calculus of gentrification. There is more money to be made in this space from something other than community-driven art, and that is enough and more than enough to push us out the door. Rock Paper Scissors Collective will continue, despite this. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive artistic community accessible to everyone regardless of their income level, perceived ability, or socio-economic status. We will find a new space here in Oakland, and continue to build and support a diverse community of artists, crafters, performers and makers. We will continue to provide space, materials and time to all residents of Oakland, and to forge connections and solidarity between movements, people, and organizations. The only way to push back against the rising tide of inequality and injustice is TOGETHER. Please contact us with any suggestions or ideas about our current circumstances. Only with the help and support of the community can we continue to ensure a safe and open space for everyone. —Rock Paper Scissors Collective ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Offering TV tuner cards for media hacking

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, I just added three older TV tuner cards on the "free stuff" page on the wiki. (Does anybody else use this page? https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Free_stuff ) They're not useful for broadcast TV any more, but I think they could be used with certain kinds of cable TV, to set up a MythTV server. Let me know if you want to mess with 'em -- I'd like to get them off my hands. Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

Fwd: Next steps for buying the Omni: 3 proposals from the fundraising working group

by yar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 1:20 PM Subject: Next steps for buying the Omni: 3 proposals from the fundraising working group To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hello Omni Commoners! Did you know that we could seriously buy the Omni in the next few months? There are people with a lot of money who want to give and/or lend it to us. All we have to do is create the legal structures to make this happen. The fundraising working group has been meeting for the past month to talk about the details, and we're informally calling ourselves the "Buy the Building" working group (aka the "Until the Revolution" working group). We meet on Mondays at 6:30 PM. There are still many details to figure out, but we're ready to make some initial proposals to the Omni delegates, to be decided at the next scheduled delegates meeting, which is Thursday August 6th: PROPOSAL #1: The Omni community should decide if we actually want to buy the building PROPOSAL #2: The Omni should apply for federal 501c3 status PROPOSAL #3: The Omni delegates should go back to meeting weekly. There is a lot to do, and decisions will need to be made quickly. We are going to have more proposals soon. In particular, we think the land beneath the building should be given to a Community Land Trust. But we don't have all the details ready for a formal proposal yet. There's no delegates meeting scheduled tonight, but we will be meeting at 7pm anyway to provide information and answer questions. Please come. This is very important!
