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

by Romy Ilano

Hi, i'm working on a good for humanity non profit type educational game (mobile) does anyone know any groups of people learning basic math? I'm looking at teaching order of operations, etc. Would like to see if anyone would like to test things out - I'd like to avoid browsing through too many TED videos though, or having to wade through press articles about why _____ city is the new Silicon valley <3 Might as well make it decent! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Coordinating Omni events with Friday night Linux installs

by Romy Ilano

Hey - there was a Linux adventure night running in parallel last night with a film showing in the ballroom. It was cool & although we had a sparse turnout that dissolved people got to see the film Wondering since Friday is so social if we should coordinate the Linux install night with a film Night that either is run by someone else or can be played on the TV set in Our Sudoroom ? We could install Linux alongside an open source documentary and make it a potluck ? Sent from my iPhone
