Fwd: [omni-discuss] Announcement: Re-Keying is Coming!

by Matthew Senate

re-keying for physical (cylinder) keys is immanent. no change to existing access control system, see for updates on that at a later time/date. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, May 11, 2015 at 11:22 AM 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! <3 Niki _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss

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.

excel class

by Amgo Go

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... -- •amgo•

Gratipocalypse

by danarauz＠gmail.com

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>.

Event: Cartoonist Conspiracy Evening at SudoRoom Thursday Nights

by Romy Ilano

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cartoonist-Conspiracy-SF/84395061271?ref=aym… 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. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
