Hello everyone,
If you are interested about what's up with Omni, I suggest you come to the
hackathon tomorrow, as Matt said:
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/05/03_Omni_Hackathon
INFOS WILL BE LIBERATED PROMPTLY AT 11AM ON THE DOT.
"Doors" open at 10am with breakfast and coffee. Contact Matt Senate if you
wanna help setup. Highly suggest Bring coffee (coffee grounds are best, one
of the big containers), donuts, bagels, etc. We got our work cut out for
us..
Suggest those with inquiring minds attend. Please?
Because we need you. Now.
So much love!
David
Be there before and or after the Rally+March at the Lake. Thanks!

A lot of conversations are still happening. We're going to have even
more conversations at tomorrow's hackathon. Look forward to seeing you
there. :)
Just "curioso".

so i spent all evening (and some of last night) to finally spool up the
gigantic pile of black filament for the TAZ 3D printer.
i finally got it hung from the wall with a dust cover over it and ready to
feed smoothly into the printer, and then i discovered that the heating
element in its extruder head is dead.
oh well.
so, we need a new resistor to go in there. I don't know what the original
spec is, but since the whole thing runs on 24VDC and assuming 24 watts of
heat, that would be a 24 ohm resistor or so.
Is someone other than me interested in contacting Lulzbot and asking
whether they want to send us a new resistor, or if they can tell us what
part number of resistor we should get as a replacement?

P.S. yes i tested the resistor and it's dead, infinite ohms, it's burned
out. When we get a replacement we can glue it in there better than they
apparently did. If the glue goes bad it dies.

Sorry for the late reply!
There has been a growing consensus that Omni things should move faster
than originally planned. At this meeting, we ratified and affirmed the
consensus that has been called for repeatedly over the past few weeks:
* We affirmed our commitment to the Omni project
* In particular, we committed to paying our first/last/deposit to the
Omni project
* Finally, we decided that should happen sooner than May 15 (the date
suggested last week)
We did this all with a keen mindfulness towards the process. It was a
difficult discussion, but we took into account the text of our
articles, all previous conversations in the community, and our human
understanding of the situation. We concluded that not only was last
night's meeting empowered to make this decision, but it was pressing.
The votes were unanimous, with quorums of 12-15 voting members (some
people left partway through).
Please note this doesn't commit us to particular details or
arrangements, only our confidence that those will be worked out. There
is still a lot more to decide, particularly with Counter Culture Labs
at our unconference/hackathon/thingamabob this weekend, which everyone
interested should attend. :)
Now that sudoroom is moving to a bigger space, would there be any interest
in
https://groups.freecycle.org/group/oaklandfreecycle/posts/39254461/Hammond%…
If not, perhaps one of the other new residents of the Omni?
Thought about it for myself, but don't think I can fit it down the stairs
of my house to the music room.
It's at Alameda High School, and they'd like to get it out of there soon,
but there doesn't appear to be any real deadline.
It's a Hammond Concorde, but not sure of the specific model number.
Probably needs a bit of restoration (replace some capacitors and fix some
broken keys) to make it deluxe, but it could be a really cool addition.
If you are interested, please contact serenadietrich(a)comcast.net and
jrandell(a)alameda.k12.ca.us. The email address in the freecycle ad is wrong.
