Omni Proposals!

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudo! There's been little to no attendance at the sudoroom weekly meetings lately, but we have a couple of important Omni proposals we need to discuss and consent on this Wednesday: * Optik Allusions tenancy: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Optik_Allusions_Tenancy ** tl;dr: Optik Allusions is seeking to become a tenant of the Omni, converting and stewarding the 'crow's nest' room above the stage into a reservable common space for media and post-production work. They intend to contribute $100-$150/month to Omni, provide production assistance for events, and throw dinner-and-a-movie type fundraisers. * Black Hole Collective Lab proposal: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Proposals#Black_Hole_Collective_Lab.7CProposal… ** tl;dr: Black Hole, an Omni member-collective, would like to build their celluloid film editing labs in one of the small rooms in the basement, and would be setting up their wetlab in the northwest corner of the basement. They're offering to renovate the moldy basement room and pay $400/month rent after that work is done and the space is usable. * Omni Yoga to steward the Disco Room ** "we interface with all users/renters of the disco room (to make sure they have insurance or get on our plan as additional insured) ** therefore we handle booking for the disco room ** a portion (to be determined, sliding scale, situational dependent) of proceeds/fees go to the insurance fund ** we keep the room clean, and pursue cleaning deposit deductions ** get insurance as a collective UA!" Thoughts, feedback, questions, concerns and especially meeting attendance appreciated :) -- Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

[omni-consensus] Proposal: No Sidewalk Boozin' (fwd)

by Jake

I think sudoroom should ask our delegates to second and support this proposal. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:47:00 -0700 From: David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Proposal: No Sidewalk Boozin' Posted to the Proposals page for y'alls consideration: No Sidewalk Boozin PROPOSAL: NO DRINKING OF ALCOHOL ON SIDEWALKS OUTSIDE OMNI[EDIT] * Proposal date: 2015-03-23 * Put forward by: DK * Proposal that no alcohol is to be consumed on the sidewalks immediately outside the Omni by Omniers. * Rationale: + Recent evidence that, and communication from, Omni neighbors who like the Omni generally but have shown that at least some will call the cops on 'drunk people' hanging out outside Omni. The neighborhood is beginning to push back on this and we should respect that. + Drinking outside has also attracted local drunks who are not Omninoms with attendant safe space issues + This is a clear legal and liability issue for Omni. Cameras on buildings across the street record this activity 24x7 and this could be used to buttress any argument against Omni as a solid, safe place for community gatherings. + We recognize that this practice began after a long hard day of working on the space - laying up drywall etc - that folks wanted to simply sit outside, take a break and perhaps have a beer. However it shouldn't be the case that it is normal for having beers outside omni on a daily basis as inevitably trouble will result. + This is not a proposal for omni to be a 'dry' space which would be pretty much impossible considering the need of the frequent fundraisers, 'socials', ballroom rentals, etc. It is to say though that no alcoholic beverages are to be consumed in the immediate area outside the premises of Omni.

Contact for the cool half Filipino smart chick

by Romy＠snowyla

Ok I hate to be racial but there's a cool half Filipino half black chick who's smart who I hang out with at Sudoroom. Does anyone have her contact ? I'm bad with names! We were planning on hanging out!!! Sent from my iPhone

Arduino For Total Newbies workshop 29-March

by Mitch Altman

( Sorry -- wrong month on that last post! :p ) There's still seats available for my fun and popular workshop -- a week from today! Arduino For Total Newbies Sunday, March 29th, 1pm - 4:30pm. Anyone can learn. All welcome! All ages. Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested. photo from the first Arduino For Total Newbies workshop at Noisebridge Learn all you need to know to make cool projects with Arduino! You've probably heard lots about Arduino. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a TV-B-Gone remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you. Summary: What: Arduino workshop for total newbies, using TV-B-Gone remote controls as an intro example project When: 1:00pm to 4:30pm, Sunday, March 29th Where: Noisebridge map (including where to push the buzzer) Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun learning Arduino. Ages 10 to 100 Max #: 50 participants -- This workshop will fill up, so please arrive early! -- Precedence given to those who register in advance at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Cost: $35 -- includes everything you need! And you get to bring your Arduino TV-B-Gone home with you. Optional: $20 communications/programming cable -- (some will be available to use for free during the workshop). Instructor: Mitch Register for the workshop: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Optional: Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it. Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Description: Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well. This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino. Taught by Mitch Altman. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can. Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original TV-B-Gone for Arduino. Itinerary: Intro to ArduinoVery short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught well over 50,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Evil Mad Scientist: DiavolinoNow that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine! And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available after the workshop. You are now ready to download and hack zillions of Arduino projects that are available for free online! Best, Mitch.

Sudo gear in CCL

by Patrik D'haeseleer

FYI, I moved a bunch of stuff that got pushed into CCL during the Sudo cleanup last week back into Sudo. Including a bunch of wood, some slabs of countertop marble/granite, and two black trunks that were blocking the fire exit. Is all the random junk piled up in front of the vending machines supposed to get recycled / disposed off? I would greatly appreciate if someone could take care of that. Thanks! Patrik
