Hi all!
The Omni Oakland Collective is the non-profit organization serving as an
umbrella for the current 'collective of collectives' seeking to move
together into 4799 Shattuck. We are currently in the process of
applying for 501c3 status.
"OMNI Oakland Collective is comprised of several Bay Area collectives.
Its express purpose is to build consensus among member collectives
with minimal possible bureaucracy for the administration of a common
…
[View More]space and sharing of resources for the use and stewardship of the
greater community.
The point of the OMNI Oakland Collective is NOT to function as any
sort of governing body for the groups involved in any general sense.
There are no senators. Its only and sole point is to administer the
space, pay bills, make group decisions about the shared space, resolve
any conflicts between the groups in the space, interface with the
state, banks, authorities, etc. Logistics and bureaucracy: That's it."
See the current draft of the bylaws here:
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Bylaws
Feedback is requested over the next month to incorporate them into the
new version of the bylaws. You can post feedback or questions to this
thread, make a diff on the wiki, or add to the Riseup pad:
http://pad.riseup.net/p/omnibylaws
Cheers,
Jenny

Subject: Join the Open Coalition, and Help us Build a Better Open World
To:
Dear friends in the open world
We're insanely proud to announce the launch of the Open Coalition - a
collaborative project for all organisations working in the open space.
Since late 2013 is has been apparent that many organisations working in the
field of …
[View More]open share areas of overlap. The Coalition aims to eliminate
duplication, keep lines of communication between organisations and
communities strong and open and help develop closer ties between open
groups.
The project has been initially funded by Wikimedia UK, and is proud to
include Creative Commons, Open Knowledge and Open Streetmap as first-phase
collaborators.
In order to celebrate this exciting new collaboration, we'd like to invite
any organisations in London to an Open Coalition Meet & Greet:
When: Mon, May 19, 4pm
Where: Wikimedia UK Office and online
Why? To help us start building the Open Coalition
We'll also have a dial-in set up for those who are outside the UK, so
everyone can take part.
Can't make it to the Meet & Greet? There are some simple things you can do
to get involved and help us build the coalition:
Follow @opencoalition on Twitter for all the latest news
Tweet this: Help spread open collaboration across the web. Join the
#opencoalition
Send us an email: stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk or bekka(a)p2pu.org
Join the coalition - get involved on this
wiki<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Open_Coalition>(later to be
followed by a shared presence) and help to shape the project
as it grows

For background on the latest drama in net neutrality, try this:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/net-neutrality-issue-puts…
I wrote about this one nonprofit community technology org I am a member of
and how this could potentially put us in a position where we would have to
sacrifice our communications reach in order to continue providing free
technology access and training.
These additions to our articles of association were consensed upon at the
previous sudo room meeting. I think they may not have been announced:
= Article 5. Empowerment of members =
== Section 5.1 Non-member access ==
* To empower members to deal with problematic non-members:
** Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets (and require
the non-member in question to vacate the physical space) at any time, with
no reason given, unless some other member currently present in the …
[View More]space is
willing to vouch for the non-member in question as a guest.
** Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the non-member in
question to vacate the physical space), the member must ask both the
non-member and the members present in the space if any member is vouching
for the non-member as a guest.
** For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate the
physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may return
after 12 hours.
== Section 5.2 Domestic Use ==
The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the abundance of
resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of those resources is
unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to fulfill the basic human
need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a creative community and hacker
space, must maintain a division between habitation and usage of the space.
As such the following are resolved:
* sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic purposes.
* No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time.
* Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must leave
immediately.
* Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or
permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its physical
space.

I'm down to train folks in basic wiki editing and create documentation for
future trainings! I also reached out to a friend who I've trained in the
past, to see if they'd be interested in joining in and bringing their
perspective. I/We will be at the next Monday meeting to chat with folks
about their needs and interests. ;]
Hello all,
I have two friends in town who are headed southward tomorrow. Is anyone driving that direction who would like more interesting conversation and gas contributions?
Thanks for reading!
Les
Does anyone out there have a way to help a very tech unsavy me unlock my
iphone 4? Cash, trade, or work? I'm willing to learn myself, or if u know
of a local shop I could take it to. So far I tried AppleNBerry and
iHackWireless with no success. I don't have a computer and I hear u need
itunes to do it yourself?
Thanks a ton
