We expect to hit the target before midnight just from more
crowdfunding, Ed! If you really want to forgive some debt, we can
forward your email to the finance list, but it' s not necessary to
finish the crowdfunding campaign IMO :)
I know we have a couple of broken TVs in the sudoroom. Does anyone know
if they are solid waste or if they can be fixed?

Anyway, I inherited a 32" "Dynex" LCD TV from a deceased friend that I
have no use for if we want to use that instead. It isn't great (720p),
but it works. Should I bring it in or would that just increase ambient
clutter? I think I have a wall mounting bracket for it if we want to
put it somewhere else.

Also, it looks like we're closing in on our Indiegogo target, we're at
about $38,500 of $40k. I hereby excuse $1500 of the geld I guess the
Omni is in the process of repaying me (I advanced some clink for the
ballroom lift), if Niki or someone can tell me what to do to formalize
that I guess it would be a goodness. No sense in channeling it through
Indiegogo and letting them rake off 6%.

Hello Sudoers!
As you may know, the Omni recently paid the State Farm insurance policies
for all collectives through June 2015. Because our lease requires that all
groups maintain current insurance policies, we decided to pay everyone's
insurance up front rather than risk incurring fines from John Givens due to
accidental lapses in individual policies.
Below is a link to an invoice for Sudo Room's State Farm insurance policy
through June 2015. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
If it would be helpful for you to pay the Omni in monthly installments,
that's fine too. Just let me know what you'd like to do.
Thanks so much!
Sarah + Finances WG
Below please find a link to Invoice #137.
Amount due: $581.46 USD
Due by: 2015-01-28

Not yet on the main page, or at the top of the Community page, but its
getting there :) -- lets keep building this momentum!

*Watch Berkeley's free lecture series on fixing the world's broken food
systems*
/"Eating is, among other things, an ecological act."/
By Vlad Savov
Jan 28 2015
http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/28/7927077/berkeley-edible-education-lecture…
Some of the world's preeminent food policy thinkers and researchers are
taking part in a new Edible Education lecture series at UC Berkeley this
spring semester, and their lectures are being made available to stream
online. Starting this Monday with an introductory note from Michael
Pollan (video above, jump to the 9-minute mark to skip the preamble),
the series will be updated weekly with contributions from Marion Nestle,
Eric Schlosser, and Raj Patel. You can stream those live on the day
itself and participate in a Q&A on Twitter and Facebook, or you can just
pick up the video on YouTube later on.
The decisions made when setting food policy, argues Pollan, have broader
consequences than most of us imagine. "Eating is, among other things, an
ecological act," he says, before detailing some of the more devitalizing
impacts of high-volume agriculture on our environment and ecology. He
also echoes the words of New York Times writer Mark Bittman, another
participant in this Edible Education initiative, in asking for more
political attention to be granted to the centrality of food to so many
issues:
"These are all related: You can’t address climate change without
fixing agriculture, you can’t fix health without improving diet, you
can’t improve diet without addressing income, and so on. The production,
marketing and consumption of food is key to nearly everything."
The series will run all the way through the end of April, with the final
few lectures looking into ideas for a more sustainable food system that
can serve the planet's population without sapping its resources as
aggressively as the current one.
thanks Null (whoever that is) for bringing this up and suggesting good
pointers on how we should deal with such situations.
I agree with Patrik that it's important for someone to take a picture,
when someone makes enough of a problem that it takes multiple people to
deal with them, a photograph is essential for two reasons:
1. it allows us to share with each other the knowledge about a problem
person in case they come back (expecting no one will remember them)
2. it lets them know that we will not forget who they are, and that they
should forget about us and never come back.
I must stress that #2 is the most important aspect of this, because
ultimately our goal should be for problem people to go away and never come
back. Ideally they will tell their friends "don't bother, those people
are not the victims we believed them to be" or a paraphrase of that.
in particular, read the story of "Thief" from the noisebridge 86 wiki:
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/86
"This guy went into the back classroom and took Rayc's wallet out of his
backpack. Rayc saw him with the wallet in his hand and the guy tried to
say it was his. He then started running towards the door and was tackled
by Jake. We made him show us that nothing was in his pockets, and he kept
avoiding the big pocket in the front of his jacket. This pocket turned
out to have Sasha's smart phone. During the search his crack pipe fell
onto the floor and broke into many pieces. We let him go and told him
not to come back."
It took several people holding onto him to keep him from exiting down the
stairwell with people's property. He really wanted to leave but he did
not hit or strike anyone at any time, which is why we let him go after
searching him and getting the stolen items back.
When there is no photograph, it's basically impossible to prevent a person
from coming back whenever they want unless there is a person there who
will recognize them. We can't be playing cat and mouse with people who
want to take advantage of us.
