Tom's data indicates that neither cis men and cis women can be fully trusted to keep toilets clean. The solution is clear: only trans and genderqueer people should be allowed to pee at the Omni.

I'm going to pee sitting down at the omni: A call for others to join.

by Maximilian Klein

Please excuse the unusual nature of this email and take me seriously for a moment. I have started the practice of sitting down to pee at the Omni, which is not something I do anywhere else in my life. Before I continue, you may well be wondering if I am assuming that my readership are the owners of "hoses" as Arnas called them . "No" is the answer, but of course if you already urinate while sitting then perhaps this call to action is less germane. Here is my reasoning: 1. I Care about bathroom cleanliness at the Omni. 2. After close inspection, and many trials, even with the utmost care I cannot urinate standing up in a way that gets all my urine securely in the bowl without splashing a very small amount. 3. In my experiments peeing sitting down is almost fail-safe at getting all my urine in the toilet bowl. 4. I have the option to sit down to pee. Since there are two options, and one is superior from a cleanliness point of view - albeit slightly more labour intensive - and since cleaning will be done in solidarity by one of our members; I therefore am pledging to sit down to pee at the Omni. I hope you will take this position with me, if you can, to build a cleaner Omni. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

a pirate's map of sudoroom - for the sudokit education project

by Romy Ilano

Hi. I'm working on SudoKit <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit> . - the goal is to make a physical artistic "learn how to use sudoroom" kit that uses the internet, digital phones & tablets as much as possible + encourages folks to use the sudroom It's basically a series of boxes with paper placemats inside. each placemat represents a project I want to put out periodic Maps like this one that are fun. here's a very rough draft *- does one already exist? has someone worked on it* - i want these to be playful - there should be an adventure every time someone visits - hopefully solves the problem of being overwhelmed... encourages exploration https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit#SudoRoom_Treasure_Map ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Noemy, Yes LEDs! They should be in every room, somewhere. For safety, at least! Motion sensors, auto timers, the whole gamoot! I'm not any of expert at lighting, really, but I'm open to helping figure it out. I at least have ideas of where key safety lights oughta go, and what features are best fir each room. I'd love to see if we could set them up on the network and task them! Connor, Both! We have, I think, two or three mate plants in CCL right now, and they need a better setup. If we are able to smarthouse then, why shouldn't we? I've never worked with rasp-pi, but I'm still young, and my brain's still mostly made of rubber... so why not take a crack now. ~ Korl 500px.com/eske 510.689.4484 On Jan 12, 2015 9:48 PM, "Connor Hogan" <conn.hogan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hey! > > Re: RasPi moisture sensor...

Elliot Hughes

by Matthew Senate

While I wasn't there for this latest instance, this is the second time in our new location (I was present the first time) and at least the fourth instance related to sudo room, of Elliot escalating a situation to a physical, even violent, response on his part. I am no longer willing to tolerate this behavior and continue to risk all the love, care, and work that goes into making all of omni commons, and each collective, a thriving and safer community and space. In sum, it seems evident that Elliot's continued involvement in omni commons is already a greater cost, and even greater potential risk, than a revocation of his privilege to use the space. I propose sudo room in particular revoke Elliot's non-member privilege to access the sudo room, and therefore the omni commons, until Elliot can provide the sudo room membership with tangible evidence of a new investment in the prevention of physical violence and marked improvement of his own behavior in this regard. // Matt

We're in a tricky legal situation. But you should stop by anytime and check it out. There are almost always people in the building willing to vouch for guests and give tours. You can also call Sudoroom's phone # ahead of time: 510-858-7155

Seeking volunteers to follow up with info@sudoroom.org emails

by yar

We get a lot of emails to info(a)sudoroom.org and only a few people are on that list. A lot of good people and opportunities have sadly fallen through the cracks because the same few people are overextended. If you would like to help us with this labor of love, please join the list here: https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/info Thanks!

Update on sudo-discuss problems

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, The two previous posts did not go to this gmail but did go to my yahoo email -- of course into my spam folder. So, the main thing is for someone to forward my posts so everyone can see them. And can someone tell me how I can get my posts to come to this email where everyone else's posts arrive at, but not mine for some reason (and here none go into the spam folder). Hope I haven't taken up too much time and space with all this, but the yahoo spam folder thing is something everyone should be aware of. Have a funny day. Best, Ira Brightman
