Hello!
The Omni needs funds. Dia de los Muertos is a thing. We would like to
introduce new people to the space and expand our community.
I have attached a flyer for a possible event, a funky transhumanist/Dia de
los Muertos themed costume ball. Should this happen? Is there a reason
anyone would like to block?
Also, steampunk zombies! Mechanical corpses! Post-singularity glittery
things covered in LEDs! Ordinary awesome humans!

If anyone remembers this "reporter" please contact Haley at

I meet a reporter at the Unconference a few weeks ago who expressed to
me that his "beat" is worker's co-ops. He gave me his card, but I seem
to have lost it.
If either of you knows the reporter I'm talking about, would you mind
forwarding that last email on to him? It would be great to have him at
the meeting tonight!
Thank you so much!!

Hi,
Reaching out because I saw you have a company / organization related to 3D
printing, makers, etc.
Wanted to let you know about the newly launched 3D Printing Ecosystem map

At tonight's weekly Sudoroom meeting, we had a long conversation
brainstorming new ways to arrange the space. A lot of it hinges on
uncertainty about the robot arm. A while back we agreed it would move
against the west wall, but it hasn't happened yet. What are the
current plans for the robot? What needs to happen for it to move? How
can people help? Thanks!
Hi friends,
So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more
people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the
needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom.
Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make
an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in
joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week!
It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other
community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit
from learning what you all know.
For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the
activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and
would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on
robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay
Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll
show up :)
Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where
to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help.
Ever upward,
April
A PARCEL CONTAINING 16 POUNDS OF NFC RFID WRISTBANDS WAS SHIPPED TO THE
OMNI A WEEK OR TWO AGO. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO NIC WEIDINGER BUT IS INTENDED
FOR SUDOROOM HACKING.
I HAVE NOT SEEN IT NOR HEARD MENTION OF IT, SO I AM GUESSING IT IS SITTING
IN THE OMNI NEAR THE FRONT DOOR SOMEWHERE SINCE NOBODY KNEW WHERE TO PUT
IT. IF YOU FIND IT, OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF IT, PLEASE WRITE BACK.
<S>THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE USED FOR PERMANENTLY IDENTIFYING COLLECTIVE
MEMBERS AND WILL BE NECESSARY TO OPEN DOORS AND BATHROOM STALLS. YOUR
RFID WRISTBAND WILL BE LINKED TO YOUR WIKI PAGE AND PRIVILEGE KEYBASE.</S>
THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE FOR ALL KINDS OF FUN EXPERIMENTATION AND GENERAL
RFID HACKING, AND CAN BE READ BY MOST MODERN PHONES. THEY HAVE
USER-WRITABLE DATA SPACE IN THEM AND THE POSSIBLITIES ARE LIMITLESS.
WHERE ARE THEY?

P.S. TODAY IS CAPS-LOCK DAY.
Hello,
David and Alice have found a way to get us a free replacement compressor for the walk-in freezer at omni. But the way involves manual labor and we need your help. We have to help remove the replacement compressor and the entire walk-in that it is currently attached to from a bar in San Francisco. David, Joe, and I helped Alice with it today. It will require at least 4 more hours of work. If you are available to help tomorrow (the 23rd), please let us know. Sorry this is so last minute, but we do need your help.
Thanks,
Ben
