Fwd: [omni-consensus] Backspace Space proposal

by Jenny Ryan

New Backspace proposal for Omni, please discuss! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sara Larsen <saralarsenyoga(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 1:26 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Backspace Space proposal To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Please find Backspace's space proposal below, and on the Omni riseup pad. Skip to the section labeled "Space" if you don't want to reacquaint yourself with our vision and mission. Thank you! Backspace Wellness Collective Vision The Backspace Wellness is a worker-owned wellness network providing an array of accessible, responsive, safe care, while elevating neighbors, diverse communities and Oakland activists. Guided by an ethics of decolonization and of difference, we believe that self-care and community access to wellness resources is a radical act. We encourage organizations and individuals committed to making our city a more just, livable place to care for themselves and go about their work in a sustainable way. We believe that abundance of resources is often linked to good health and that abundance is possible through proper relations, and so are mindful of the nuance of each relationship, gearing our exchanges towards this mutual benefit and mutual aid of persons, land, community/s. The Backspace Collective is also committed to facilitating a deepened, educated community of learners and teachers of the healing arts, and to explore in conversation what a healthy person, community and bioregion will look like, and how they are intertwined. Mission Backspace Wellness Collective, a collective within the OMNI Commons, is a worker-owned wellness collective encompassing a broad range of healing modalities to make opportunities available for healing, wellness, care and growth in the community. We offer: - Wellness center services via private practice(s). - Regular donation-based clinics that provide wellness services to a diversity of populations from a range of economic backgrounds. - Regular events, talks, panels, teach-ins and classes in our space to engage and empower the community on an educational and participatory level. - Ongoing contemplative classes and workshops (e.g. meditation, yoga, martial arts, etc.) Space Backspace proposes to move into the ADA accessible Storage Area on the Shattuck Ave side (former TIL space), the small BDRM upstairs and the upstair Den (re: the Den - Backspace plans to offer this room part of the time as a Commons to other Omni collectives). See Appendix A. Den: Backspace is interested in the Den that overlooks La Commune (next to TIL’s upstairs office). We will use this room in a multi-purpose way: for use for yoga, martial arts, open affordable holistic clinic hours, meditation, wellness special events, etc. We will offer this room as a common space by reservation during the times when it is not reserved for Backspace use. A public calendar that Backspace would be very happy to administrate would be set up for this room (alternately we can link to an existing calendar but just need more info on how to do so). Small BDRM upstairs: We need one small, private room for use as a small studio space for practitioners, as well as for locked Backspace storage (which will include herbs and tinctures that must be locked and not available to the public). ADA accessible Storage Area We envision this as a private ADA accessible clinic room for Backspace (for massage appts, etc, where the practitioner would need to lock the door behind them). Governance/Structure Backspace is a worker owned and operated collective. We make decisions via modified consensus. Membership is obtained through a vote by all the existing members. We strive to be engaged with the larger Omni community and have been since the very first delegates meeting. We rotate our voting delegates monthly and routinely participate in working groups, other collectives, or other valuable projects relating to the Omni. Financials We would pay $1000 per month starting in October. Backspace founder Andrew Lowe put forward $6000 to the Omni for Backspace in May 2014. This money was paid ahead as a commitment by Backspace to the Omni and vice versa. We would like to allocate that money in the following way: $3000 for July Rent (first month, last month, deposit) $1000 for Septemer $1000 for October $1000 for November Our income will come from contributions from member practitioners. We plan to use our profits to help keep our free/donation based clinics sustainable.

We already have two paired lines with two phone #s, so I think all we need to do is wire up the other one. We could try to change the payment setup, although Sonic gave us grief for trying that at 2141, which was why we switched to LMI. :/ I just put this month's bill on the wiki: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Example_Internet_Bill As you can see, the way they charge us is complicated. It's $140 but most of that obviously goes to internet, including line items that non-Sudoers probably don't care about like static IP address. All the tiny fees for phone service probably add up to ~$10 per line on their own.

kitchen wg report-back

by yar

I went to this Sunday's kitchen working group meeting. Some things to know: 1/3 of the industrial stove is working. The other 2/3 needs new parts which Joe can get for the very discounted price of $300. I propose that Omni collectives pay for this since we will be using it a lot. They are working on replacing the large water boiler with a tiny instant heater, cutting & rotating the large metal basin sink, and installing the 3-basin sink from Noisebridge via CCL between that and the stove. They would like to open up the northwest part of the room by disassembling the old shelves & countertops, and removing the street-facing drywall to expose the windows hidden behind them. Does anybody know if the landlords have been notified of this kitchen work yet? Do we need to write up more detailed plans before doing this stuff? The downstairs kitchen will not have room for any of our appliances from upstairs such as fridges or stoves. FNB cooks are already concerned about space being too tight. We will have to keep the fridges out in the basement common area, or somewhere else in the building. We may not need the electric stoves once the wolf range is fully lit. Joe will find another home for the chest freezer, as it belonged to him and apparently nobody has used it here.

Sonic Account Info

by niki

Hey friends, Reaching out again - who should I contact to get the info for our account w/Sonic? I know Sudo has been footing this bill but perhaps Omni should take it over. The cafe would like to add a phone line so, at the very least, we'd like to contribute to the expense for this service. Makes sense to us to use the existing service rather than setting up a new one. Thanks, in advance, for pointing me in the right direction! xo N
