Hey sudoers and noisebridgers,
Wondering if anyone has 2 channel AMP I can borrow for MakerFaire these
weekend? I don't need the speakers, so not a guitar amp, but just the
amplifier itself. Alternately, if there is no just-an-amplifier available,
a guitar amp would do in a pinch.
If anyone has one available they would be willing to lend me, pls email me
privately.
Thanks,
Cere

Subject: [omni-discuss] Announcement: Re-Keying is Coming!
To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
At our last delegates meeting we agreed that, after almost a year, it's
time to re-key the locks and re-communicate our community agreements around
access to and use of the space.
(Obviously, a larger access system will eventually be implemented down the
road.)
If you are a member of a member collective you should discuss how to go
about receiving a new key with your collective.
If you are not a member of a member collective, there will be a now be a
process for requesting a key. We will be sure to communicate that process
prior to changing the locks.
Re-Keying will happen no sooner than (and more likely, sometime after) our
next delegate's meeting in two weeks.
If you have any thoughts regarding information you think should be included
in the communications we're developing around space use and access, please
feel free to contact me!
Please distribute this message to your respective collectives!

Niki

For people with cool projects they'd like to show off at the Cre8 Summit in Shenzhen China, there is a possibility for a free, all-expenses paid trip. Check out the info, below, and if you are interested, please contact me off-list, and I'll connect you to the organizer of Cre8 Summit.
Best,
Mitch.
The event will have ~25 makers and hackers
from China, Japan, and US presenting their projects in a publicexpo, which is expected to have ~15,000 attendees. The first day willbe keynote speeches followed by a public display of all the projectsthe attending teams are working on. These will be things involvingdrones, VR, EEG systems, etc. The second day has talks focused oneducation, creativity, and the role China will play in the future ofinnovation, followed by a networking event for attending teams,manufacturers, and whoever else wants to participate (this part won'tbe open to general public). The last two days feature tours ofShenzhen companies for the visiting teams.
Our informational website is here, which has our list of speakers:
http://www.cre8summit.io/
We have a strong set of teams based around virtual reality, EEG systems and artistry/making. We currently have a small contingent for robotics and internet of things, and we're looking to fill a couple last spots there.
We're able to provide full accommodations and plane tickets for teams with very cool (accessible + interesting) demos in these areas, and we're open to having a team from another area not mentioned above.
:D
We have a ton of construction projects planned over the next two weeks and
have requested a moratorium on scheduling events in the ballroom during
that time.
Today's work day has been cancelled due to an event that was scheduled.
Please check in w/the Commons Working Group if you have questions!

Hey hackers,
sorry if this is a weird question or not appropriate for this listserv.
Do any of you know of a good one-day intermediate excel class I can take
around here? My work will pay for it but it has to have a somewhat
legit-looking website and payment situation so I can send a receipt for
reimbursement. It'd be cool to find some one in my community to support,
but there's gotta be some institutional elements. The kind of thing I'm
talking about is like
http://www.academyx.com/training/san_francisco/excel/intermediate/
or
http://www.pryor.com/mkt_info/seminars/desc/Y7.asp?EventCode=170028
Again, sorry if I'm way off base in asking this list. Just tryna get
educated on my work's dime and send the proceeds to a rad community
member...

Someone in IRC #Sudoroom posted:
"does sudo still rely heavily on Gratipay?"
"if so https://medium.com/gratipay-blog/gratipocalypse-42fd0ec0d9e8 is
very relevant"
Anyhow, a paste of the article (Published on May 7):
Gratipocalypse
------------------------------
Three weeks ago, we announced
<https://medium.com/gratipay-blog/balancedshutdown-3a9fdb32e9c6> that our
payment processor, Balanced Payments, is going out of business. At the
time, we said that, “we will have to change Gratipay in some
yet-to-be-fully-understood fashion in order to survive the transition away
from Balanced, and it will be hard.” We’re now beginning to understand the
changes we have to make, and they couldn’t be harder.
Balanced is directing their customers to Stripe, and Stripe rejected us
because they believe our model “qualifies as money transmission
<https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3245#issuecomment-91112973>.”
They followed up to specify changes
<https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3324#issuecomment-93562216> we
would need to make in order to use their service. These changes are drastic
enough, but the suggestion that Gratipay might be regulated as a money
transmitter is even more serious.
As soon as Stripe notified us of this possibility, we immediately
beganresearching
the issue <https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3321>, and we
quickly hired a lawyer
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/193> to help us
understand our situation. Yesterday, we concluded that the concerns Stripe
raised are real, and that therefore it would be both imprudent and immoral
for us to continue processing payments as we have been. Unfortunately, we
were unable to change course in time for this week’s payment cycle, and so,
after 152 weeks of continuous operation, *we are for the first time today
skipping Gratipay’s weekly payment cycle*.
Our intention is to quickly implement a revised model
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/192> that is true
to ourmission <http://inside.gratipay.com/big-picture/mission> and
compliant with regulations, and resume processing payments. However, *a
revised model will almost certainly exclude some of you who have been
receiving money on Gratipay in the past*. Simultaneously, we will work with
regulators to resolve any past noncompliance, a process we’ve already
initiated.
This really sucks for you, our users, especially those who have come to
depend on the income you’ve been receiving through Gratipay. We’re deeply
sorry for not discovering and handling this situation sooner, and we look
forward to processing payments again as soon as possible.
If you have any questions please contact us privately via email
<support(a)gratipay.com>, or publicly on this GitHub issue
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/192>.

Hi, I used to be in a cool group called the Cartoonist Conspiracy SF.
It dissolved, but it was a group of super Nerdy and talented cartoonists.
We did a lot of comic book jams at the Church Coffee shop as well as the
Cartoon museum and Rock Paper Scissors Collective.
*I'd like to have an informal cartoonist jam that runs alongside the
Counter Culture Labs and Sudoroom thursday night.*
I'm putting it in the calendar and if anyone objects I'll take it down.
I'm keeping it super short, but the idea is that before I or any other
cartoonist leaves the space we have at least one cool cartoon related to
the:
- hardware hacking
- mushroom / fungus growing
- artificial cheese creating
- 3d printing
- yoga dancing
- naked autonomous activist poetry reading
- graffiti techno bear woodshed making
- etc.
that goes on at SudoRoom.
Much love! I'm going to tell the Cartoonist Conspiracy this too.
