Anyone want this ancient oscilloscope that John left behind? If not, I may
advertise it on the dorkbot list and a few other places. We could ask John
to come take it, but it would be a shame to junk it - there's people who
are really into this kind of stuff.
Does anyone ever go the Electronics Flea Market
<http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/> at De Anza College? That would be
the perfect audience for this kind of item. Next one is this Saturday.

Dear Omni members
Tomorrow, Sunday the 5th is the long awaited SHOOT of the Omni fundraising
video!!!
The OptikAllusions film collective has been working hard to make it happen,
and it looks like it will be an awesome and fun day at the Omni!
WE NEED ALL OF YOU!!
In order for the Omni to look like a place buzzing with life and
potentialities, we need as many people as possible to show up and help!
Production meeting will be at 11:45! We need everyone to be there so Liz
can assign everyone to a spot and a role, explain the course of things, how
to prepare, etc!
We will then shoot from 12:30 to 4pm
Help make the Omni look like a wonderful, crazy, wacky, fun, creative and
crucial social project!
Make your collective look awesome!
Help prepare the space!
If you want to be a baps student, dress nerdy! If you want to be a yoga
student, dress accordingly! if you want to look like your busy drilling
stuff, wear your overalls! If you want to juggle or play the banjo, bring
your props!
Look videogenic!
Love and solidarity
Noemie and the OptikAllusions Film Collective

What do folks think about this discussion on the *omni-discuss* email list?
Curious about your thoughts.

David,
I understand what you're sharing about the experiences you have had with
people seeking voice and space in this project.
However, I do not believe that flipping bits from public to private on our
email list archives will change that. I think Jordan's implementation of a
*helpdesk@* list (private archives to protect senders), and leveraging
clear public-facing, private (or semi-private), and alternative
communication channels (e.g. physical "anonymous comment box" by the front
door) are all *excellent* ways to approach these situations. We should set
up a *whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org
<whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org> *or *leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org
<leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org>* for instance!
Historically, I have had more than a handful of conversations with folks
(some active members, other allies elsewhere in the world) who have used
and read the public archives of the sudo room email lists for their
information and for all of our benefit. We depend on this form of
participation to continue to exist. Further, we link to these discussions
in our email threads, on the wiki, and elsewhere.
We must be *clear* about what is *public* versus *private,* but we should
challenge ourselves to make more communications available (indexed by
google also means we can link to it on the public web... the structure of
the web that was valuable *even before *search engines and the information
search engines use to crawl content and formulate rankings, etc). We can
also encourage search engines not to index this content to keep it
unsearchable, but probably the folks who typically want to search it will
be us and our community.
To me, a good number of our problems right now correspond to *access*,
*transparency*, and *engaging new participants*. In light of these issues,
there is a clear direction for us to travel in which we should value *"open,
public discourses over closed, proprietary processes"* as well as *"access
and transparency over exclusivity"* in order to *"solve real problems over
hypotheticals, while respecting visions of the future"* -

All three of us on this thread so far are sudo room members, what do you
all think about these values I've shared?

I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that
has a Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also
includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as
a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter
project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the
same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will
fit into a Model B+ case.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429174725/orion-ogs-affordable-3-in-1…
I am also launching a separate Kickstarter campaign with the same OS distro
on a 16GB SD card for the Raspberry PI. It includes some unique software
that I have developed for the RPi.
I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have on this project. The
marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment
industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers
as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and
promotion shortly.
Thanks!
I know it's a little bit late notice, (so many distractions!) but we're
having our second film night tonight, in the basement!
Come by a little after 7, too catch City of Lost Children, or around 9:30
for Delicatessen!

I hope ooc folks will come out for this show- it's sure to be amazing, and
tickets will only be 5$
some needs for the show:
1. do we have a *mixer*? they have pa speakers and cables but no mixer.
I'll definitely need one by the 10th at the latest!
2. do we have a mic stand? I think I got the two micstands covered, but
jic...
3. how well does the ballroom black-out light from the outside? do i need
to get some butcher paper or blankets to cover the shattuck ave windows?
any other places with serious light leakage?
Thanks and xo!

Dear all
Just a reminder: this Friday a 6 pm, Robert and I will be giving a workshop:
Discover the footage of the documentary that is being shot at and about
sudoroom, and the crazy adventure that the community is going through!
We'll use Interlace <http://interlace.videovortex9.net/>! Some of the sudo
footage will be in there.
Do come with your own sudo room footage so we can incorporate it! (if
possible not compressed)
Coders: come check out and play with the code, tag, index, make crazy edits.
Film people & editors: check out this mad collaborative editing tool and
give us feed back. Tag, index, make crazy edits.
Sudo-ers: Participate in telling your community’s story! Remix and play!
All types of humans: all of the above and more!
A demain!
Noémie

Wow, thanks Alice! I hope we get a lot of volunteers! I am helping a
friend move today, at the same time, alas. :(
Hi all!
The Community Print Studio (owner of the printing press equipment in the
basement) has submitted a new membership proposal to the Omni:
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Print_Studio_Proposal
We'll discuss this at the meeting later today. If you can't make it, you
can add your thoughts to this thread or to the etherpad.
Cheers,
Jenny
