I'm not usually into hackathons and don't send stuff like that to this list
but this is pretty cool

WHY immigration?
This country was built on a dream, and a belief that the course of our
lives does not have to be determined by the country, culture, and
socioeconomic status that we were all randomly born into. Immigration is a
proven solution to this “unjust lottery” of life, but somewhere along the
way we lost sight of that dream.
Join us on May 29 and let's help bring back the American Dream, together.

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!

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.

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
;) "

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
