URGENT: Your sudo room payment is failing!

by Marc Juul

Gratipay (our payment provider) stopped working! We now have our own payment and membership system called sudo-humans: https://sudoroom.org/humans You should immediately sign up for an account! You should then go to your profile page, click edit, and set up a recurring payment! That's it! Thanks for helping sudo room stay afloat! More details: We are hard at work integrating the payment system with our upcoming improved building access control system, so it will not be long before payment or non-payment will directly affect your ability to access Omni and sudo room. If you for some reason prefer to pay in cash, then you can still do that by finding e.g. me and handing me tall stacks of green. If you have a work-trade agreement with sudo room then don't worry about it for now. We will send an email when sudo-humans support work-trade verification (basically you will need to find another member and have them log in and verify that you did the work. If you _really_ need to be fully anonymous (meaning that not even a couple of sudo room admins will be able to see who is paying) then you can wait for Gratipay to start working again, but please try to compensate your payments for the time that it has not been working (I believe two weeks so far). Gratipay will probably start working again at some point, so please check that you are not double-paying. sudo-humans is not just for payment, but for stuff like building access and finding members to work on projects with, but we are just starting out so if you want to help sudo-humans improve you can find the code here: https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-humans Thank to substack for developing the core sudo-humans app! -- marc/juul

SPAZ wants to throw a party in the downstairs again, like last First Friday! we should officially sponsor the event as Sudoroom, and get involved in the whole event. SPAZ people will bring the amplifiers and set up the party space (in the basement like last time) and make the whole event go smoothly. will Sudoroom officially sponsor the event? It will be a lot of fun. -jake

Apology from Nick

by Dante Cassius

I am handling the mediation for Nick, and at the Omni meeting before last, we decided that he should write a letter answering the open-ended question, "What have I learned?" (since being asked to leave). I read the letter at the most recent Omni meeting, and we decided that with Nick's permission, the letter be reposted to sudo-discuss. He asked me to post it here on his behalf since he is not a subscriber. At this point, we're asking everyone who has had issues with Nick to read this letter, and attend the next sudo meeting on Wednesday to vote on whether or not to allow him back into the space based on that. If you can't attend or have any other concerns that need to be handled privately, email me and let me know. Here is the letter: "Dear Sudo Room , Members & whom it may concern . I Nicholas Oakley am writing this this to share what have i have learned during my time with the Omni-Community , & the mediation process i have been participating in. . Coming to Omni Commons i was very excited and eager to share my ideas, suggestions , opinions etc. I however learned that being uber gung-ho in the community when one has not established a trusted rapport is a delicate process especially due to the progressive , radical &slightly complex nature of the omni-community . I have learned that expressing my opinions may not not be well received if one has not taken their time to acclimate to existing flow of the social atmosphere & governing processes . Being a massage Therapist I am a highly tactile person when it comes to communication. Also being massage professorial i am highly aware of the ethics of touch ...however bad habits are hard to break when your used to being in a more open and receptive environment . The safe space policy takes a moment to learn and adapt and i myself have slipped ..tho i feel its part of a learning curve . I have also learned that open ended jokes that may be misconstrued & taken personally & offensively by members of the community are not a good idea , especially if people do not know who Iam or what I am about .Personal space bubble are very important , i shouldn't invite myself if not invited , being curious about what your neighbors doing and peeking over their shoulder is frowned upon and rude if not given expressed consent . Contributing to a topic without first knowing history & process at hand or without collaborating with others isn't wise . I have learned a great deal on how to be a better and more effective member of the omni community and look forward to being able to return to commons , keeping this conversation open for benefit of myself & the community at Large . If further elaboration is needed at this time please let me know so i may accommodate . I am look forward to another opportunity to work , play ,learn grow with omni-commons a.s.a.p :) p.s. I am not a cop or undercover agent ...pls take a chance & the time to get know me before making such conclusions...i feel its defamation to my character :/ .... I am just highly curious & high spirited :) I have also learned not everyone is receptive to that aswell and require a larger bubble p.s.s. It has been said " The only way to trust somebody , is to trust them ;) "

Open Tech vs Closed Tech debate?

by Louis Huang

Hey guys, so i'm back... with a proposition! With such a welcoming email chain last time i replied about my start up, im thinking where all this anger was coming from? And so to try to resolve some hostility between two worlds (open tech and closed tech), anyone down for an live IRC debate? A spill of opinion between open tech (hackerspaces such as Noisebridge, SudoRoom) vs closed tech (TBD). I want to host it. Nubbii being an unbiased news platform, its feels right to be able to discuss such matters between the two worlds. Any takers? Of course I will have to find some closed tech people willing to do this. Truly, Louis http://nubbii.com | Unbiased News, Anonymous Discussions
