Re: [sudo-discuss] [OMNI] Skill-sharing for Communication / Collaboration / Coordination

by Vicky Knox

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. ;]

Redirect of the "Gentrification" Thread into a more encompassing awareness.

by Oren Beck

There's a set of presumptions that can inherently defy our best efforts at redirection even when we can offer concrete factual refutations. I unhesitatingly use the phrase "Breaking Set&Setting" as a most apt one, Call it an "Anti-Fnord! so to speak... Do look up the ancestry of the terms if they're not old friends:) Summary- We've a set and setting that demands inflation of rents as if it were desirable, or even mandatory. the end result is inevitable yet NOT mandatory. Can we discuss strategies to fix the Rent Problem? Oren Beck 816.632.3695

[OMNI] Skill-sharing for Communication / Collaboration / Coordination

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, At the Omni Collective's communications working group meeting, we discussed how it is immediately critical to share the skills and knowledge of using communication, collaboration, and coordination tools. Some tools are already in place, such as the Wiki http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/, a simple Calendar http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar, and email lists for logistics https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omnilogistics and announcements https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omni-announce It would be most excellent if sudoers could join us in: (a) Sitting down for 1-on-1 walk-throughs on tool usage (b) Creating curriculum, resources, and simplified tutorials for tools (c) Holding workshops or other engagements for skill-sharing (d) Maintaining the wiki http://wiki.omni-oakland.org (e) Joining the communications working group to work on sensitively adopting good tools and practices that are relevant, useful, and keep the overall experience inclusive and empowering for all members of the Omni Oakland Collective. Next meeting is Monday May 19th: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/05/19_Communications_Committee_Me… // Matt

At the expense of other people. Even if the data in that study is reliable (I have my doubts), the overall analysis reduces people to numbers. It suggests that some of us are expendable for the "financial health" of others. It's not "a rising tide lifts all boats". It's more like a rising tide lifts 70% of boats, so let the others drown. It also does not ask why some neighborhoods are undervalued in the first place, when in fact divestment and gentrification are two faces of the same system. I would never blame people for doing what they need to do to survive, but we can never gentrify our way to justice. We need to address problems at their root, remain critical of the system, and work towards a society where EVERYBODY can prosper.

Google engineers are being vilified ... As much as I love my Googler friends, I bristle at comparing anti-Googlism to racism, or oppression based on "creed" or "gender preferences". I'm not even sure what "gender preferences" are.

I don't think there is any danger of that. Our community already includes many people who work for large tech companies. Some of my favorite people. They generally have nuanced analyses of the ethics involved, recognize the compromises they are making, and will probably say they are "working within the system," or at least donate their disposable income towards good things. Very few would say "I'm profiting. Yay!" In fact, I'd say the average tech worker is very bad at profit motive. Otherwise we'd have a strong union, be earning a larger piece of the pie, and not letting our labor, talent and wealth be so transparently leeched off by big companies and landowners, which is exactly what's happening, to the detriment of everybody else. > I know you're not exclusionary, I just wanted to make sure there's a clear > voice in the discussion that welcomes all people, Google engineer or not, to > Sudo room to come and help us make the community and world better through > technology. Standing up for the subjugated voice of Google engineers is great and all, but I wouldn't quite call it "welcoming all people". May any of us someday earn the right to use that phrase.

(same time as LOL hack night unfortunately).

We are getting this exciting-looking router and free software, and someone from Inventables is going to demo it at a workshop this week at DU. Sorry for the short notice! - liz ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Natalie Freed <eilatann(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, May 12, 2014 at 10:35 AM Subject: CNC workshop at Double Union on Wednesday To: Sho Sho Smith <shosho(a)hackermoms.org> Cc: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Hi Sho Sho, Hope things are well! Meant to send this sooner but it slipped my mind, along with a few other things this end-of-semester... In case anyone at Hacker Moms is interested in CNC routers, Inventables is going to be teaching us to use one of theirs at Double Union hackerspace this Wednesday evening. It's an open event, Hacker Moms invited! (Wendy will hopefully be there, too). Details and RSVP link here: http://doubleunion.tumblr.com/post/84976864349/learn-to-use-the-shapeoko-cn… If there is interest but this comes at too short notice, or is a bit late on a school night, let me know - we'll likely host some more teaching and making events after we get our own assembled!
