Fwd: This Tuesday! East Bay Mini Maker Faire 2014 Town Hall & Kick-Off @The Crucible

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone planning to go to this? I've helped staff a booth at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire for the past three years, and it's a blast. Very different vibe from the giant San Mateo MF - much more family and local oriented. Plus, the site at which they've been holding the EBMMF is literally walking distance from the Omni! (Park Day School and Studio One Art Center, between 42nd and 45th near Broadway) If we're involved in the planning, we might be able to wing having a whole Omni pavillion to ourselves, with booths from all the member groups. Either way, I'm volunteering to help run a booth for CCL.

Can Mary take the empty boxes located in the basement?

by Somebody

Hello, Mary just asked if she can take the empty boxes located in the basement. I mentioned to her that I would find out, because I didn't know. I will be leaving Sudo soon, someone please feel free to tell her or John. And please let me know, so I know she has gotten the answer. Many Thanks!

looking for OLPC donations

by Mitch Altman

My friend Hilary, in Oakland, is looking for donations of OLPCs for a school in Tanzania. If you can help, please see below: WANTED: OLPC XO-1 laptops. These machines were introduced through a ”Give One Get One” offer by One Laptop Per Child <www.laptop.org> a few years ago. Please check your closets to find these wonderful learning tools now hiding there. The XO is a potent learning tool designed and built especially for children in developing countries, especially those living in some of the most remote environments. It’s about the size of a small textbook. It has built-in wireless and a unique screen that is readable under direct sunlight for children who go to school outdoors. It’s extremely durable, brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, and fun. We are collecting these laptops for a new school in a rural area of Tanzania <http://www.aiscs.org/projects.php>. If you have no further need for your machine, please contact AISCS info(a)aiscs.org or call us: 510-273-9044 to donate it, even if you are not sure it still works. Thanks, Mitch.

Yes! I really hope that the Sudo community can put our weight behind this project. It is an extremely important one, and has AMAZING potential.

floor cleaner available

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I'm planning to rent a Hard Surface Cleaner from Home Depot this evening (If I can figure out how to transport it), to clean the concrete floor in CCL: http://www6.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/Hard_Surface_Cleaner/L08992029/ Only $48/day, plus cleaning solution! I'm planning on renting it for a full day, so once we're done with the CCL floor, Sudo, BackSpace or FNB might want to borrow it to clean their concrete floors as well. Much easier than wet-mopping... Is there anyone who can help me get this thing from Home Depot in Oakland, between 6 and 7 this evening? Patrik

me n' meetings -

by David Keenan

Hey everyone, I hope this wont seem weird to formally announce this, but I decided tonight that if I am gonna attend any meeting, I am going to attend the whole meeting all the way through to its initially-slated / official ending-time, or I will just not attend. I decided it is just too disrespectful to others to hop in and out of meetings before they are slated to be finished, even if it is for other, equally pressing omni business (which has, in every case I can think of, been the only reason I have ever felt compelled to do so.) Therefore I respectfully ask anyone that feels I personally need to step away to attend to something else or answer a query, or even wants a quick sidebar on somethin at a given merting, simply not ask but wait until the meeting is done - barring of course some sort of all-out emergency. By the same token, if a meeting runs over its running time, I may have to leave that meeting at some point thereafter - and I sincerely hope that no one at that extended meeting will be offended if I do so at that point - I encourage others to try this model with me, which I probably should have been following all along. Honestly, I am really not the best multitasker in the world (as I am sure this is already readily apparent to everyone anyhow), so I dont know why I tried to attempt otherwise. I hope this doesn't seem narcissistic or anything to announce publicly - as if its sooo important somehow - but I just want to make sure moving forward, that no one is offended if I have to defer talking to em (or otherwise engage with another matter) right away whilst I am still in a meeting, or have to leave a meeting that is running over. Love to all, David
