CCL label maker missing - please return!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Has anyone seen CCL's label maker? It's been missing for a week or two now. This is the second label maker I've bought that has gone missing. If you see it, PLEASE bring it back to CCL - it is clearly labeled (duh) Time to start putting locks on the door, and security cables on all essential equipment? Sigh... Patrik

Re: [sudo-discuss] Today 4/4/15: Pidgen and Daren have been temp banned for safer spaces policy violations

by Rachel Wolfsohn

This is very important to me, because I said I wouldn't keep including sudo discuss, and now i'm going back on that but WildCat does keep including sudo-discuss, so I feel like I can't leave it at some long email to one side bias, whether mine or not so I'm responding to sudo discuss to be heard by the group who is already hearing this sigh, i'm sorry, but I'm upset now.... *People NEED to be given a chance to change. * *Just because you knew someone for a long time and saw problematic behavior before doesn't mean they can't come to a new place, * *and a reformed community, * *where they can try to learn and grow. * *If people are not given a chance to grow what would you do with them?* * If you don't believe people can change, you don't believe in RJ or TJ, * *and I would LOVE to hear your alternative* *to my eyes the only other options are punishment or annihilation, like the state does,* * if you're really radical, you'll seek alternative forms of resolution* * besides exile, punishment and "training" people, * *whenever possible. * *NOT ONCE have I seen you actually pursue mediation. * *IN FACT WildCAt is currently refusing to participate in more than one mediation, * *and while in some cases i actually agree with that other person being banned, and see the issues clear* * my problem wtih this is not about that person being banned,* * I often think WildCat is right,* * but it's about THE PROCESS AND RESPECTING IT* *You Still Have To Go To Mediation * *In Some Case In Your Life, * *If You Recognize The Process At All* *If You're Willing To Work On It, * *The Refusal Of Mediation Is There To Keep People Safe* * In Dire Circumstances * *Not In Any Case You Want* * And Every Case All The Time* * Because You Feel Like It And It's Your Privilege* *I don't feel like you're respecting that process....* PERSONALLY I feel: Exile is not a real option for the world. If someone is continuously exiled and not educated and transforming, they will have no where else to go. This is part of the world, you can't just close yourself off from it and ignore people *If you want it to get better, really get better, judging people and pushing them out is not the way to actually help it* *What would you do with them? * *Put them all in one country? * *Kind of like a concentration of them?* * Like a camp? Kill them all off? **All bad ideas. * *We need to help people grow, and * *if you consider yourself an organizer * *or a helper of the world* * it IS your job to help people grow a* *nd give people another chance, * *provided they seek new conditions that will faciiltate growth* *It has to come from them. Yes.* *And it is coming from Darin, * *however slowly he's learning* Btw "WildCat" You are not yet a member of sudo yet. And you're scaring people, with all your bans in a row all of a sudden, now that you think you have power *i'm not quitting, but this email put me back over, i'm taking another break.* On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Cere Misc <cere.misc(a)gmail.com> wrote: > PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF THE SUDO-DISCUSS LIST! > > On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 11:32 AM, WIld Cat <wildcatofthewoods(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Also with that one month ban I feel that from then on there would need to >> be zero tolerance for any of these behaviors to continue.

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!
