Update on Foreclosure

by William Myers

Hello SUDO Community, I have an update on the foreclosure, I have attached a letter from CAST, which also summarizes all of the updates. Basically Mulberry has told us: 1. X organization intends to pay off Mulberry Trusts’s loan to Omni Commons of approximately $873,973.00 2. Here is a $10,000 non-refundable deposit to show we are serious. 3. Attach a copy of Omni's Board Resolution noting the agreement between Omni and the organization paying off the loan. 4. If we do not hear from you by Tuesday, May 14th at 12pm, we will direct the foreclosure trustee to file the paperwork. CAST appears to be willing to work with us even if the foreclosure is filed. But we also have the option to comply with Mulberry's requirements and fundraise to purchase the building with funding from another source within the 1 week timeframe. We will likely be entertaining proposals from Peoples Programs and City In Motion at tomorrow's board meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions, or ideas or insights. Best William > I’m sorry for the delay on this. It turns out that the LOI should be submitted by CAST to Omni Commons. We will turn around and submit this for consideration by Omi Commons. I wanted to highlight a few things: - I believe we have till Sunday evening or early Monday morning to share a signed LOI for purchase to the Trust. This is to be accompanied by a $10,000 check. We then have 24 additional hours to submit the full payment to the Trust at which time the title is released to Omni Commons. - If this timing cannot be met, the foreclosure action will be undertaken and there is 90 days to pay down the loan. The clock would essentially start on Tuesday the 14th. CAST has the ability to pay $10,000 for the deposit but not the balance within 24 hours after that. Given this reality, we will let the Trust know of our plans to pursue an LOI with Omni Commons and the need for additional time to secure the balance of funds. This assumes that they advance to foreclose. - CAST would like to sign an LOI with Omni Commons as quickly as possible so we can pursue funding to meet the 90 day foreclosure window. We will not negotiate to assemble a partnership for purchase. We encourage Omni Commons to explore all options. - People’s Program and City In Motion have both expressed interest and have reached out to CAST. I will respond to both and encourage them to speak with Omni Commons directly. - We recommend that you determine, separate from CAST, if their offers are viable and you wish to sell the building to either of them. We don’t want to hold you up if you are able and prefer to resolve the matter immediately.

safe parking around sudoroom?

by Romy Ilano

there have been members whose windows have been smashed - my first suggestion is to tell guests to park on the opposite side of Telegraph in the more ritzy residential neighborhood and walk 10-15 minutes have people had luck in the Macarthur bart parking structure how about parking by the piedmont police dept and then taking a rideshare or bikeshare? I have a guest who's coming who is driving all the way from Sonoma! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Tonight: Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: This week we have one person (Lily) signed up with a bunch of stuff (see https://bit.ly/itemcheckins) and we typically get lots of walk-ins too. Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do. So can someone try to arrive early say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get them started on their projects? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. Many thanks, -Peter

August 1st - Hackerspaces Roaming art walk starting at the Kara Walker exhibit at SF Moma

by Romy Ilano

We are announcing a new "let's get out of the room" event where we walk around art galleries exploring the math in art. This is a collaboration between Noisebridge and SudoRoom, but since we are on lu.ma now we are attracting people who I think are not part of our hackerspaces. This is a nice way to get folks to learn about hacking! Sign up at: https://lu.ma/vlirnlc8 https://sudoroom.org/events/hackerspace-roaming-art-walk-walking-meetup/ *Theme: Where is the math in art? <https://sudoroom.org/events/hackerspace-roaming-art-walk-walking-meetup/>* SudoRoom <https://sudoroom.org/morning-math-telenovela-parte-1-precision-globes-and-t…> and Noisebridge <https://www.noisebridge.net/> hackerspaces will be converging on the SF Moma during *Downtown San Francisco First Thursdays <https://www.dftsf.com/>* to interweave math, life, art and more! Schedule We'll begin at the SF Moma the new Kara Walker installation Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine) <https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/fortuna-and-the-immortality-garden-machin…>, which is in part inspired by science fiction writer Octavia Butler's novels *Parable of the Sower <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Sower_(novel)>* and *Parable of the Talents <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Talents_(novel)>*. The piece is on view at the SF Moma, which is is free for Bay Area residents <https://www.sfmoma.org/free-days/#first-thursdays>on the first Thursday each month! We could start by talking about how *mathematical ways of thinking* resemble and differ from the "Earthseed" philosophy <https://godischange.org/the-book-of-the-living/> from the* Parable* books, which the narrator at one point describes like this: *I’m trying to speak—to write—the truth. I’m trying to be clear. I’m not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them. If it happens that there are other people outside somewhere preaching my truth, I’ll join them. Otherwise, I’ll adapt where I must, take what opportunities I can find or make, hang on, gather students, and teach.* [image: image.jpeg] ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

What if we could make science and tech exhibits for adults not kids at SudoRoom

by Romy Ilano

Due to funding there are no good science museums in the Bay Area or California in general that are fun for adults! They are mostly geared to kids and parents for some reason I propose we create mini science exhibits aimed at people 18 and above! Let’s create the science museum exhibit that is not geared for teaching kids’ let’s make it as complex or simple as we want it to be … just make it for adults !
