Any comic book artists at SudoRoom? I used to do a lot of comics, related
stuff at the RPS Collective ... would like to draw more ties to comic book
artists, tech and community and social activism.

Subject: APE Workshops
To: Volunteers 1 <gallery(a)cartoonart.org>
Once again, the Alternative Press Expo has asked me to put together some
programming for the convention. These one-hour workshops are a fun way for
beginning and would-be comics creators to meet with a creator, pick up some
new skills, ask some pressing questions and get the most out of their
convention experience.
I’m posting a copy of a previous schedule to give you an idea of what kind
of material you can cover in a one-hour workshop. If you participated last
year and would like to do something similar to last year’s workshop, that’s
great. If you’d like to try something completely different, that’s great,
too. If you want to recommend someone else, have topics that you’d like to
learn about, or know of subjects that the typical APE-goer will want to
learn about, lay them on me.
Thanks very much for your consideration! Looking forward to hearing from
you soon!
Best,
Andrew

Shareable is a great read on sharing/commons projects like Oakland Wiki
(which I consider to be a "local knowledge commons"). I highly recommend
checking out more articles if you haven't already! And if you'd like to
help build out the ever-evolving Oakland Wiki Resources portal
<http://oaklandwiki.org/Resources>, please get in touch!
Take care,

Upon further consideration and based on input from our community I
recommend we move forward in Stages.
First Stage: Service the server area (dedicated 20A breaker), 3d print area
and Museum with another 20A breaker. Thus satisfying the Fire inspection
needs.
Stage 2, phase 1: Install plugs along Eastern wall (3rd 20A breaker)
Stage 2, phase 2: Install 240V service to Robot on Eastern wall. Other 240v
needs?
Stage 2, phase 3: Install overhead power (either using the 4th available
position of the Balcony breaker or tying into the 3d printer/museum j-box)
I need to know about the Robot power requirements. I looked through the
manuals posted by Jake and have not found the amperage rating for the
control box+robot. Im working under the assumption that she requires a 30A
dedicated 240V supply and Jake will preform 3phase magicianary.
The reason I ask is because I need to size the breaker accordingly, and we
have limited real estate within the Balcony panel (located in the music
room). Currently (no pun intended) there are 4 breaker positions available
in the Balcony panel. I think that all 240V supply, be it 30A(robot?) or
50A(welder?) any exhaust fans, dust collection service or whatever will
have to be supplied from, not the Balcony panel, but the sub that feeds the
Balcony called "Above Stage" panel.
I recommend having dedicated breakers for the 240V supplies. Unless we know
exactly what will be powered, there is no way of passing the <50% amperage
usage per plug requirement of the NEC. This is simply the best practice.
Furthermore, this should not be an issue if we are using the "Above Stage"
panel because according to notes on the panel, most breakers within are not
being utilized- so there is plenty of space.
I'll continue to draft the drawings based on what I have written here.
Hopefully the package will be complete and ready for review by this Friday.

Whitney, sorry I just saw this now, so I don't think it got on our
meeting agenda.
You think we should be allocating $1k to electrification rather than
the $500 we agreed on last week - do I understand that right?

We definitely encourage people to consider their labor as dues if they
are otherwise unable to pay. :)

Once the draft is ready, I think we have two electricians in our circle so far:
* the person Jake suggested, not C10
* Dave Pedroli (gone til september)
Maybe we can ask one of them how permitting works?
are here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-08-20
Highlights:
* Two new prospective members: Sean & Adam!
* Omni potluck tonight, 6-8 in the ballroom. Please bring food!
* BACH unconference Oct 18-19
* new vending machine
* Julio is (tentatively) hosting Newbie Night on Tuesday
Most of the time was taken discussing general Omni issues. In sum, the
Omni is going through an exciting formative moment and needs as many
volunteers as possible, especially to:
* fix fire code violations - research fire extinguishers, put up drywall
* assist David Keenan in delegating other permit tasks
* attend working groups such as finance, legal, maintenance &
challenging dominant cultures
* come up with plans for: parking, litter, insurance issues
* replace our board secretary
* replace me as Sudoroom's delegate to the Omni :)
In addition, Sudo urgently needs volunteers to:
* set up new ways to donate money
* fix the internet!!!!!
Hey Sudoers,
I know that some Sudo folks have been temporarily storing some things in
the room off of the stage.
It seems that the door has been locked, however, and there are light
switches that control some outdoor lighting that we need to get to.
Anyone know who locked this room / who may have a key? We should keep that
door unlocked, moving forward (or give all collectives keys) in the event
that prospective new Omni members / tenants may want to consider using that
space.

I'm not making it to the meeting this evening. I have a draft together
minus the quantity sheets, however, current q estimates are included
in the shared
spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fgw5himtlmemiXReP-fG6rP-I2RoXsSP_MA…>
under
the Qty. tab. You will notice that the estimate is $1k. Please take a look
at the pdf's and mark them up however you like and send me red-lines I will
then make v1.1 of the package with hopes of getting the q sheet(s) done by
Friday. Additionally, I request that my August and September dues be in the
form of electrical design and installation. Lastly, because I am not a
licensed electrician, these drafts need to be reviewed by a professional
prior to construction. It would suck if we had to re-run or otherwise
modify our work once the inspector comes. So if anyone has an electrician
friend that can weigh in that would be helpful. Also has anyone put any
effort into weather or not we need a permit prior to beginning this
improvement?
Thanks,
Whit
