Fwd: Sunday: Documenting SF feminist/trans/queer/women-centered spaces & history

by Vicky Knox

Join me at Double Union this Sunday for a San Francisco LocalWiki editathon on the city's feminist/trans/queer/women-centered spaces and history. [details below] Please also make sure to read DU's policies < https://www.doubleunion.org/policies> before coming. :] -ykciV ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vicky Knox <vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com> Date: 2014-10-21 15:42 GMT-07:00 Subject: Sunday: Documenting SF feminist/trans/queer/women-centered spaces & history To: Come to our local feminist hackerspace this weekend to help build community documentation using the San Francisco LocalWiki <http://localwiki.net/sf/>. Tell all your friends! No computer required. :] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Britta <brittag(a)gmail.com> Date: 2014-10-21 15:12 GMT-07:00 Subject: Editing meetup at Double Union on Sunday October 26, 4-6 pm To: SFLocalWiki(a)googlegroups.com Hi everyone! Our first SF LocalWiki editathon at Double Union in August was fun, so let's do another one on Sunday afternoon from 4-6 pm or so (we could extend it a little earlier or later if that's easier for anyone). Here's a blog post with details about how to visit the space, which is a few blocks from the 16th Street BART station: http://doubleunion.tumblr.com/post/100591807764/san-francisco-localwiki-edi… The second part of the post proposes a theme - feminist, women-centered, queer-centered, and/or trans-centered spaces and history in San Francisco. It includes a bunch of links to local history materials that I've been excited about. The area around 16th & Valencia is really rich in interesting stories, and it makes a lot of sense for Double Union to help bring them out and share them. :) A related thing I've been doing is sending article links to the Mission Mission neighborhood blog, which sometimes publishes them: http://www.missionmission.org/2014/07/29/about-that-old-police-station/ + http://www.missionmission.org/2014/08/25/about-that-big-hulking-building-th… The San Francisco subreddit can also be a good place to post individual articles that are likely to appeal to a broad audience: http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2c5gpz/old_mission_police_sta… + http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2ee6gt/ever_curious_what_that… This shares the information with more people (yay!), and sometimes you get great comments with tips that you can integrate into the articles. It could be fun to aim for writing more articles that could be distributed like this.

Looks fun! Right now the way to book events is: 1) check the calendar for conflicts: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Calendar 2) submit this form: bit.ly/omniballroom Full explanation and future changes to the process will go here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/How_to_book_events

Perks for Fundraiser

by Timothy Baron

Remember how a few weeks ago we all got together to shoot a video? Well, the good news is it's almost done! But before we can publish our Kickstarter/Indiegogo/whatever campaign, we've gotta rustle up some perks and rewards for our contributors. What does that mean? Well, you know how on Kickstarter you can get a copy of a musician's album if you donate X amount? We need to have things to offer, too. What are those things, and at what dollar amount? Some ideas: 3d-printed schwag, $10 Badges!, $25 One-on-one sessions with the giant robotic arm, $2000, limit: 5 sessions

Damn, wish I had taken a closer look at that event description. I agree with hep, it looks pretty alienating. Let's have a robot-themed halloween party instead. Beep boop.

Please remove punching bag from ballroom by 6pm tonight!

by niki

Hey! I am doing the final cleaning / touching up of stuff in the ballroom today before the Alice Notley conference (which starts at 7pm) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 5:31 PM Subject: Need help cleaning the ballroom this weekend! To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hi friends, The Naomi Klein event is happening this Sunday morning at 10am. I am going to spend as much time as I have tomorrow (Saturday) cleaning up the ballroom and doing any little touch up jobs that I can. If anyone is around I would greatly appreciate your help! Things that need to get done: - Remove from windows and store sound proofing baffles (these can probably go into the ticket booth room - extra points if you feel like painting them black!) - Putting away tools on the stage - I organized these several weeks ago and look at them! (cry!!!) - Moving all sound equipment / speakers from stage - anyone know who this stuff belongs to? If you can direct me, I will contact them! - Moving punching bag - is this meant to live in the ballroom? Can we identify a place to store it during events? Maybe the ticket booth room? - General sweeping / dusting / cleaning <3 Niki 646-577-7957

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] [BAPS-Organizing] Need projector for event nov 1st

by Eske Silver

Add another projector? Did BAPS get another one? :) I really would love to see an Omni-wide inventory management system that has an integrated reservation protocol, which would help streamline aspects of events like this. Unfortunately, this would be a lot of work to maintain (I'm told). So for now, I think having an online database with all of Omni's (and it's collectives') open access tools/machines/etc with contact info for each is the best way to go. I.e. Sending a direct email or text to whomever owns/stewards the tool/machine someone wishes to use, and the owner/steward keep track of the item's calendar. It's what people have already been doing, but I still see that there is confusion around the topic. I hope this helps a bit, but we ought to solidify this process into a version that's more accessible to everyone. ~ Korl On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 9:07 PM, niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I think it should be fine - it doesn't look like there's anything else on > the schedule.. this along with some other events that have needed use of > the projector raises for me the need to set up some kind of reservation > system for stuff like this. > > Add yet another project to the list :) > > Sudo is setting up systems for this purpose, I believe so perhaps we > collaborate with them! > > xo > > N > > On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Scott Nanos <scott.nanos(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hey y'all, Ian from Baps is putting together a real cool event on nov 1st >> in the ballroom.
