Today 4/4/15: Pidgen and Daren have been temp banned for safer spaces policy violations

by WIld Cat

Today Pidgen was asked to leave in violation of the safer spaces policy on an admitted account of sexual assault in the past as well as recent behaviors of harassment. Daren was asked to leave in violation of the safer spaces policy by aggressive behavior (aggressive swearing, intentional misgendering, inappropriate sexual comments (Told me in an aggressive way that he liked phone sex, than began to yell at me.) He has had a history of being banned from spaces for similar behaviors of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior. I would like to begin a mediation process for Daren and I do not feel safe with him being in the space during such process. To my knowledge there is an ongoing mediation between Pidgen and Centi. that Pidgen has allegedly violated due to harassing behavior. Pidgen has been banned from several other radical spaces for entitlement problems - theft - aggressive behaivor - accountability issues. I do not feel safe in the presences of Pidgen and would call on the community to permanently ban Pidgen.

April invoices !

by Sarah Pritchard

Hi friends, Hopefully some of you have received invoices for April rent and March shared expenses at the Omni. You may have noticed that we've switched our invoicing software over to Quickbooks. Their credit card processing fees are much lower than Wave's (our previous software), so we're able to save the Omni a little bit of $$. Yay! If you haven't yet received your rent and shared expense invoices, check your spam folders! I noticed that emails from Quickbooks get delivered to the "promotions" tab on my gmail account. You should still be able to pay your invoices with a credit card, but let me know if you have any trouble. This is the first round of invoices we've sent using Quickbooks so there may be a few glitches to work out. Please pay your invoices as soon as you're able and let the finances working group know if you will be late in paying them or if you have any questions. Thanks and <3, SP + Finances WG

yesterday i brought a bunch of stuff donated to sudoroom, including a really nice large workbench (blue, with a tool hanging rack, it only made it to La Commune so hopefully people can get it to sudo somehow...) there were three decent 64bit desktop computers, and also... a dot-matrix printer!!! a Panasonic KX-P1180: http://www.orgprint.com/imaged/O/OtODmJjWMS_9758_preview_465_240.jpg it's made for tractor-feed paper. they were using it to make wire labels, and i got some wire-label paper if we need that. But i think we should use it to print out THE IRC CHANNEL... LIVE or the TWITTER FEED... live. Since tractor-feed paper is a continuous feed, we can just print it like a continuous scroll, and always have a paper record. i dunno, maybe it's a dumb idea. maybe we should just trash it. does anyone have a box of tractor-feed paper? http://thumb7.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/137608/115044349/stock… http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2013/07/tractor-feed-printer-66…

Re: [sudo-discuss] International Space Apps Challenge @ Omni

by Ryan

I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the event, but I'd really like to see it happen. I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to do it! Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Hello all you lovely humans, I hereby - Resign as board 'president' of Omni Oakland Commons. - Rescind entirely my various omni-related memberships to: Bay Area Public School, Sudo Room, and Black Hole Collective Lab. - Will unsubscribe from all omni-related mailing lists immediately following this email - I spent a substantial amount of of my life the last couple years working on, and getting other folks to believe in, this project. But as all things must end at some point, it is now time for me to bid thee all a fond farewell. I love you all, and give the greatest thanks imaginable to all the untold hours, days and years of work put into making this dream real. Nothing but love - good night David

Gratipay Payout and Internet Archive Federal Credit Union deposit issue

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, We had some issues getting Gratipay (our donation service provider at https://gratipay.com/sudoroom) to work with their payment processing Balanced Payments to make successful payouts (transactions) to our bank account with IAFCU, the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union, aka the Internet Credit Union. Now, the issues should be resolved. I am waiting to see the credit appear in our IAFCU account records, but I got confirmation that Gratipay successfully transacted the payout today via Balanced Payments. These were the primary issues, which took substantial digging to figure out: 1. There seem to be some federal regulations that required our credit union to explicitly post payments to either our savings or our checking account, without ambiguity. This is done by adding a suffix to our account number for any given transaction, i.e. add "000" to correspond to our savings account. 2. However, also, when this suffix is appended to our account number, there must also be a matching value that corresponds to "savings" or "checking" called a "TRANS code". Unfortunately, gratipay did not expose this value option in their interface, despite it being supported by Balanced Payments's API. We should now have the correct suffix and the correct TRANS code that matches to deposit gratipay payouts to our savings account at IAFCU. Whew. // Matt
