Hey Sudo! Hope you are all well and the Omni is working out the kinks of starting something new. I'm writing because Positive News, the newspaper I co-create, is looking for support in making a program that will bring together 100 positive news items per day. I've cc:d our editor, Ilonka, on this so please reply all if you are interested in connecting on this. The first thing we need is to figure out how to speak about the project on a technical coding level. Feel free to pass our contact on to other programers/hackers who might be interested in working with us. Thanks for making the world better, Kazoo * Kazoo Studios * <http://www.etsy.com/shop/kazoostudio>

Sudo Room "Rummage Sale Game"

by Matthew Senate

*Game ends at: 10am Sat, 9/19* There's only three rules!!! 1. Find *something* in sudo room that almost never gets used. 2. Determine if it's *valuable* to pretty much anyone (or pretty much anyone who would show up to the *Omni Commons Rent Party* https://omnicommons.org/rentparty ;) 3. If it's valuable, *guess a price* and give it to me (Matt) to sell at the rummage sale! Just follow steps 1 through 3, rinse, repeat, and you'll finally be free of lice -- I mean free of stuff sudo room doesn't use. // Matt

I think "preliminary consensus" means yes, a shorter trial period would be better than nothing. It would keep them at the table long enough to continue building a relationship, and if they reject this offer because it's not a full year, at least we come out looking reasonable. Even if LM doesn't end up accepting a shorter period, I think the symbolic weight of the Omni community consenting to this shorter period would go a long way in mending our community fractures and keep our community from falling apart. I also think 2 or 3 months would look a lot better than 1 month, which is only four services. Would you block 2 months?

It occurs to me that 3 months would be October 1 - January 1. It would kind of suck to leave a church in limbo right around Christmas and New Years. Maybe the end of January makes more sense. But that's 4 months.

Becoming Omni schedule and tentative agenda

by Laura Turiano

Friends, Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey on the meeting schedule for Becoming Omni. Results show that meeting on 3 consecutive Sundays is the first or second choice of most people, and no one put it as their last choice. Given that, the schedule for the 3 workshops and tentative agenda will be: *Sunday, October 4* 10am - 1pm: Introductions to each other and the process/agenda; What is the purpose of the Omni Commons? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: What values are we all holding in our work at the Omni Commons?; What are our current patterns of working together and what changes can we make to improve them?; What do we want to see going on or in place in 3 years as a result of our actions? In other words, what is our vision? *Sunday, October 11* 10am - 1pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th; What is blocking us from achieving our vision. In other words, what are the underlying contradictions? 1-2: Lunch 2-6 or 7: How do structures of oppression reinforce the underlying contradictions, and how might anti-oppression work help overcome them? What can we do to deal with the contradictions and realize our vision? What do we need from each other to be able to be successful? *Sunday, October 18* 10am - 6pm: Introductions; review of the process/agenda; review of what we accomplished on the 4th and 11th; some elements will need to be decided when we know the outcomes of the previous workshops, but most of this day will be developing the concrete actions we need to take to achieve our vision, and making a work plan on a time line. Hopefully, we can complete all this on schedule. If not, the work plan can be finished afterwards in separate meetings with the collectives and working groups. We will work on having remote participation, probably through Google Hangouts. While participating remotely is better than not participating, it can't completely replace actually being in the room. Let us know if you would like to help with this. We are also planning for childcare. The next meeting of the design team is this Sunday the 20th, 3-6pm. Please join us if you want to help organize the 3 workshops. If you are unable to attend all the workshops, but can choose which to attend, the first day is the most important as it sets the foundations for the rest of the work. That said, if possible, please try to attend all 3. Please forward this to your collective! Love, Your facilitation team

Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-info] Becoming a Contributor

by Jenny Ryan

Apologies for the delayed response - many thanks for reaching out, Brandon, and for your support of what we do! We are always open to donations in the form of components/equipment/tools and, at this particular point in time, especially funding! We are preparing to file our 501c3 application within the next few weeks, at which point any donations received can be made retroactively tax-deductible. Our monthly expenses are on the order of $2500/month for rent/utilities/insurance, and we're 100% supported by sliding-scale member dues and donations. Currently, our monthly income is just slightly over this amount, and we have no standing reserve funds. If your organization would like to support sudo room financially, one-time or recurring donations can be sent via PayPal or Stripe on our donations page: https://sudoroom.org/donate/ If you'd like, I can notify you when we've filed our 501c3 application, so that your donation can be made tax-deductible. Many thanks for your support! It is much appreciated. :) Cheers, 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.

After much thought, I think the best framing question for now is: what length of trial period can we tolerate? I would like to hear from all Sudoroom members currently blocking this proposal. Would you also block a 3 month proposal? 1 month? 1 week? What's the magic number? Thank you.
