please use found soldering equip. and working laptop

by eric james Anderson

Found a box of soldering supplies and dropped it off at Sudo, along with a working laptop suffering from minor mechanical issues. The screen-spring is unhinged, requiring it to be leaned against something, but it'd make a decent, maybe a public terminal. -- Eric Anderson 206.295.1751 Oakland Local Archive <http://oaklandlocal.com/author/amasym/>

Too much free food, please come eat it :)

by yar

There is this fancy food startup in San Francisco which donates a meal for every meal purchased: https://munchery.com/how-it-works/ Apparently "we provide a meal for someone in need" means their truck drives around various places in Oakland until it's empty. And the Omni has become the truck's last stop, which means this will happen every Saturday. I counted 150+ packaged meals this run. We may supplement this feast with an impromptu screening of Slavoj Zizek about "the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpAMbpQ8J7g

solid-ink printer for printing circuits

by Jake

sudoroom needs a wax-ink printer for printing circuits onto this copper-clad material i have. noisebridge had a couple of them that almost worked, but apparently they threw them out. lame. so if you know where to get one for sudo, bring it in and we'll usher in an era of electronic hackery unseen in history. basically, like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Flexible-Printed-Circuits/?ALLSTEPS unfortunately the process doesn't work with a laser printer, so we need a wax printer. http://origin.arstechnica.com/journals/hardware.media/nr_Xerox_Phaser8860.j… http://www.northwoodcomputers.net/image/cache/data/8570dn-500x500.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_ink

They are no longer welcome at Noisebridge. FYI, I was looking through the Noisebridge wiki history and found these 3 edits: https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=34442 https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=37451 https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=37452 They're all from the same IP address within 10 minutes of each other. The first two erase a record of Pigeon being asked to leave, and the third adds a record about Pigeon asking somebody else to leave. I'm not sure who made those edits or what it means, but it seems pretty weird so I thought I should mention it.

pidgeon (human) trying to squat sudoroom / the omni

by Jake

last night (sunday) as the last of us were getting ready to leave after a long day of BACH, i noticed that Pidgeon was sitting alone in CCL with headphones in and using a laptop. [pidgeon prefers the pronoun "they" but it is a single person] knowing that this person made trouble at noisebridge in the past, and assuming that they were trying to squat the omni, i went up and gave notice that "we are getting ready to leave and close up" and Pidgeon took the hint and started packing up their backpack... twenty minutes later pidgeon was still slowly gathering things together to get ready to leave.. it was annoyingly obvious that they were trying to delay leaving so that I would leave first and they could stay. tonight, Korl mentioned that Pidgeon was present but did not seem to be anyone's guest, and I agreed that they were here without anyone's sponsorship of any kind. A person with no member-sponsor present can be asked to leave for no reason, but before doing that I went to speak with others present about the situation. No one present claimed Pidgeon as their guest, or objected to asking them to leave. I mentioned this to marc and started posting the following to irc: https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2014-February/042… https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-October/0399… a minute later marc returned from a "sweep" of the building and found Pidgeon in a downstairs room with the door pulled shut, getting comfortable, lying on their belly listening to music. Marc asked if they were part of a collective, Pidgeon said they were not, and Marc said that we are not open to the public and asked them to leave. please be aware that people are already trying to squat the omni and it will only get more intense. I have no patience for this because I feel that the omni is more valuable to us as a community space, shared for all, rather than a big building to be turned into private quarters for the few who care little enough about their community to do something like that. Noisebridge regularly has problems with people sleeping on top of the elevator, above the loft areas, and in the basement of the building, and their building is not nearly as cavernous and expansive as ours. -jake

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Need help cleaning the ballroom this weekend!

by Jenny Ryan

Call to action for folks to come by tomorrow and help with ballroom/stage cleanup! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 5:31 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] 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 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss

Beehive Design Collective – event at Omni, Oct 21

by Danny Spitzberg

Hey Omni booking folks + Sudo and friends, The Beehive Collective was told by UC to relocate their Tuesday, Oct 21 event. They reached out to Omni through friends at the Gill Tract (see occupythefarm.org). I know it's last minute, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the calendar, so I put a hold for them. Their request is to show their giant, portable murals about global issues of all kinds at Omni, 6:30–9pm Tuesday, with appx. 25–50 guests. They are an all-volunteer group on tour but can chip in some $ to Omni. Before I confirm it this event I want to ask, *Does anyone have any blocking concerns about this event?* For more details, here's the blurb: Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine, the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of activists, artists, educators and organizers. Our main focus is creating and presenting graphic works about global issues internationally. These portable murals are teeming with intricate images of plants and animals, illustrating surreal but meticulously researched scenes of sociocultural realities in the modern world. Not only are our graphics detailed, beautiful works of art, but they also are tools in understanding the big picture of a region's struggles.

The bees do intense research on subjects like mountaintop removal coal mining and now, California Water Politics (which i haven't seen yet) and then they make a giant poster with compelling artwork that makes it easy to see the big picture. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:37:47 -0700 From: Sakura Saunders <sakura.saunders(a)gmail.com> To: Beehive Design Collective <pollinators(a)beehivecollective.org> Subject: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21 PLEASE FORWARD! We have some exciting news: the Bees will be swarming the Bay Area with a new graphic and tour focused on California water politics in the midst of a massive drought. Sucked Dry: Examining Drought and Privatization from Mesoamérica to California, draws inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, connecting local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. Oct 19: 2pm Dolores Park, SF Oct 20: 6:30pm Greenpeace warehouse, 955 7th St., W. Oakland co-sponsored by Rising Tide Oct 21: 5:30pm Gill Tract Farm, Albany (at the intersection of Marin & San Pablo) co-sponsored by Food & Water Watch & California Student Sustainability Coalition About the tour: California is in the midst of a historical drought, the most severe the region has had in the last 500 years. This water crisis has devastated resources, with several communities facing the prospect of running dry. A number of projects advocating infrastructure development such as the BDCP and Prop 1 have been proposed as solutions for the state, but are they truly in the interests for all? What are their impacts to our drying rivers and reservoirs? Fisheries and communities? Drawing inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, the Bees will take you on a visual journey touching on the local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. We will also be introducing a *brand new graphic* (still in draft form) that deals specifically with the fight to stop the Tunnel project that threatens the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta About the Bees Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine, the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of activists, artists, educators and organizers.
