Hi Sudoers,
I'd like to tell you about a new hackerspace that I'm helping to form in the East Bay. It's called HayHackers, and it'll be located in Hayward. Why Hayward you may ask? Well because there aren't any in the area. The closest hackerspaces are in Oakland, Mountain View, and Livermore, but nothing really covering the Hayward, San Leandro, Union City, Newark, Fremont, Castro Valley, and Dublin area. We're right in the center of this area. There's also Cal State East Bay, Chabot and Ohlone community colleges.
Being located in a more suburban community, we'd also like to make this a more family-friendly community space. It'll have a section for adults and one for children / families. It'll be a collaborative workspace where people come together, share and learn, use tools such as laser printers and 3D printers, learn about technology, science, computer programming, and work on building their inventions.
Hayward could also REALLY use a general-purpose community space as well. There's nothing like it here!
We also hope to be located near a BART station, so you can come visit us anytime. We could really use your help though. Please reach out to your network of friends in the East Bay and tell them about us!
Also, as we're just starting our outreach and marketing, we will be launching our big fundraising campaign in mid-May. We could use your help and donations to lift us off the ground.
We'll be tabling at the Maker Faire on May 17 & 18th, come visit our table!
Please visit our website, watch our 1-minute video, and sign up for our newsletter:
http://hayhackers.org
If you happen to be in the Hayward area, we'll be holding a Meetup at Eko coffee in downtown Hayward, within walking distance from Hayward BART, this Thursday 4/24. There will be other meetups in case you miss this one. Please signup on our meetup page here:
http://www.meetup.com/HayHackers/
Also like our Facebook page and follow our Twitter feed if you'd like.
Let me know if you'd like to help in any way.
Thanks!

Some of you may know I am wiki crazy, and I would like to help create the
Omni's wiki. Only I am on holiday and am taking an e-break. Can anybody set
this up, on there own server at the moment so all that needs to be done is
point wiki.omni-oakland.org DNS to it?
I can help with tech support from the sidelines over email.

Updated lease, to put it in sudo room's name. I'm requesting one change which is to list sudo room as a "public nonprofit" since we have created a state public benefit nonprofit corporation and are in the process of obtaining 501(c)3 status.

Hi Matt-Attached is the revised lease. I am also sending a revised bill, with a referral fee to you to pretty much offset the other charges. The additional $90 security deposit is the Sudo Room’s money in any case.Laurie From: Matthew Senate [mailto:mattsenate@gmail.com]

I had been checking our previous thread and did not expect to see messages outside of the original thread, my mistake.

We ordered a new netgear router today online from Frys which should work a better and faster. We’ll let you know when it’s installed or if there is a problem with its installation. You are under the terms of the old lease until we have agreed to the new one, and we have been trying for 2 weeks to get this settled---this is the first that I have heard from you since I started emailing you simply asking for your address!Had you replied we could have been talking about new lease terms early in the month and had it settled well before now, but somebody told me that you were out of town—maybe you weren’t picking up your emails while you were gone?

Subject: Re: 2141 My last message to Laurie requested a new lease under sudo room's name for this month. We provided the information needed. Just now I saw her most recent message to me (sent 5 days ago) that I missed in my inbox. Laurie suggested adding additional terms to the lease. I have not paid rent because I was waiting for the new lease. We cannot wait any longer with the lease as-is. Can we please change it to sudo room's name, and then also discuss additional terms for the lease afterward? Eddan has wanted off of the lease for months and we satisfied all of the baseline needs to make the transition. This is really important to complete ASAP, in all of our interests. Replacing the modem should not be difficult to install (just plug in the same cables as the old one). If it doesn't work, Sonic provides on-site service that should be covered by your internet service payment. - Matt On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 8:33 PM, George <travology(a)mindspring.com> wrote:We have not received rent for april you are late as usual.

Hackpacks must have hacksnacks.
What kind of emergency snack/meal/drink/tools do you always carry with you
in your hack pack? Mine are:
Drink:
Yerba mate (dried tea)
Yerba mate straw
5-hour-energy or similar
No-prep snack:
Nuts or granola bar
Meal:
Instant oatmeal packet
Ramen packet
Food-related hygiene:
Folding toothbrush
Small toothpaste
Dental floss (doubles as general purpose string)
Tools:
Collapsible silicone cup/bowl
Filtering water bottle
Spork
P-38 can opener
Knife (in multi-tool)
zip-lock bags
All of the food/drink items have in common that they don't weigh much and
don't really go bad. We usually buy these items bulk and re-fill missing
item when at home base.
I'm not sure I'm happy about the ramen (so salty) and all of the granola
bars I've tried are so sugary (bleh).

I understand the landlard entered the premises a couple of days ago and
gave folks 5 minutes to evacuate before setting off several bug bombs.
I'm pretty sure that kind of behavior is illegal without at least 24
hours notice. I haven't noticed much sign of non-landlord related vermin
in the room, but I don't spend extended amounts of time at the space.
When folks objected to this intrusion I understand that the landlord set
off one or more foggers in a garbage can, which, of course, rather
defeats the purpose, particularly since Elliot bravely (if perhaps
foolishly) took the still fuming trash can outside, I hope he's OK.
Anywho, I stopped by the room last night to drop off a bag of bread and
hung around gabbing for 20-30 minutes and noticed that my exposed skin
was burning & itching and my lungs felt weird. I think I suffered from
contact dermatitis, I took a shower as soon as I got home and threw all
of my clothes in the laundry hamper even though I'd only been wearing
them for a week or two, but I'm still feeling a bit of intermittent
tingling.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogger
Personally, I suspect that a fair amount of the hoopla over exposure to
household chemicals is overblown, even neurotic is some cases, but given
the landlord's cavalier and abusive actions I surmise that he may have
visited during the middle of the night and set off a large number of
TRFs. Now I'm beginning to see why so many sudoers are agitating for a
change of venue. Cue the music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDo_Ub-s9U
So if this has not been done yet, I recommend that all utensils and
plates get washed and all surfaces get wiped down with a damp cloth.

Clean Surfaces to Remove Residue
Upon returning to the area it is important to properly clean the
pesticide residue from all major surfaces. Counter tops, especially
those that encounter food, cookware, and/or dishes, should be wiped
thoroughly with warm soapy water. Carpets and rugs should be
vacuumed, as should any cloth furniture that was not covered prior
to fogging the area. Bedcovers, pillows, and any clothing left out
during the treatment should be washed with detergent and hot water.
Wood and tile floors should be swept and mopped to prevent pesticide
particles from being shuffled up into the air.
In the meantime, I suggest not using utensils, cups, plates, etc.
without giving them a rinse first.
While we are on the subject of landlords, pests and food, I pick up a
fair amount of bread and pizza every Friday night from a local
collective to share with the community. If there are not a lot of
demonstrations or picnics scheduled for the weekend I typically drop off
some of this bounty at the sudoroom. Is this largess welcome? Does
anyone have an opinion about how much I should deposit, say 1 bag of
bread, 10 pizzas or some such number?
The devil take all landlards (except me),

The omni neighborhood is so bougie. I hope people aren't still worrying about crime. I'd be concerned about the opposite .. On a weekend it's like watching tech guys walk their trophy girlfriends around the marina. Lots of changes
It's very pretty though . Maybe there's an incentive that sudoroom will keep the neighborhood rad .!
