Hi Sudo Room,
A friend of mine with a small woodshop in the area is looking to move
places, and is interested in joining me in making another shared makerspace
in Omni, with a focus on woodworking.
I don't know if the delegates will vote on the proposal this week, but if
so, that will be before the Sudo Room monthly meeting. I would appreciate
comments and questions about the idea now, ideally so that Sudo Room could
make a vote by Thursday. I will be around today and tomorrow but welcome
…

Thanks,
Paige

Hi,
This is proposal for creating a woodshop in the Omni (as a project or
tenant):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-KbFCJnFfS9wCaGCentj8Ie5fCpdBgfHeQ9Ba9V….
It is still a working document but I hope the information here is
sufficient for the delegates and collectives to understand our aims.
Thank you,
Paige

we need a volunteer to help administer the front door access control system.
Someone comfortable with shell commands and vim and ssh, please speak up!
extra bonus if someone is available to help with cgi scripts for basic html
stuff, in order to make a way for nontechnical people of omni (who have
password access) to approve card access.
we can collaborate on this of course but i need someone to take over the basic
responses to the keycard requests now.

Hi Sudoers:
See below: Sodoroom member Thomas Lopes also runs the Raspberry Pi
interest group of the Berkeley Linux Users Group, he'll be holding their
meeting from 11am-2pm at Sudoroom, it'd be great to have a bunch of
veteran Sudoers present to hang out, help him host and welcome newcomers.
Thomas also knows how to flash the locked Dell Chromebooks so if you
wanted to unlock some more Chromebooks tomorrow would be a good day as
he's around. (We could use some more to hand out as …

laptops.)
Cheers, -Peter

Now with Pi 5!
I still have one Pi 5 8gb from the launch event last month and a 4gb
that I pre ordered from the announcement.
The launch event went pretty well. People were interested in how the 5
would work in their projects. And one 8gb Pi 5 was given out (and a
couple of 4s).
Sorry no giveaways this time.
So at SudoRoom in Sunday November 19 from 11 am to 2pm. There is a
buzzer at the door or call or txt me at 510-984-2455 for access.
I'll be 3d printing some parts and looking at Sudo's little metal lathe.
Alan had been checking out the lathe and we have gotten some parts but
there is still some things to check.
Hope to see you there.
Thomas

Hey Sudo Room, what do you think about this statement that was posted to
consensus? The last two paragraphs were taken out by another editor but I
prefer them left in.
Solidarity for Palestinian Liberation
We at Omni Commons demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, an
end to the murder and genocide of Gazans, and all forms of apartheid,
occupation and ethnic or religious supremacy. We demand full human rights
for all people, including the right of return for Palestinians.
Israel …
[View More]allows Jews from anywhere in the world to move there, and become
full citizens. They give free plane rides and ten-day tours to young Jews
age 18-25, full of Zionist propaganda. This trip is called “Birthright
Israel” - it preys on ignorant and vulnerable Jewish youth by recruiting
them for Israel’s settler colonial project. Young people who fall for this
recruitment are then drafted into Israel’s occupation army. Even as war
rages, Birthright is shamelessly continuing with all their Winter trips.
Meanwhile, Palestinians’ freedom of movement has been restricted since the
1948 war, when Zionist terrorism drove hundreds of thousands to flee their
homes. Many of these families, now millions of people, still live in
refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank. The largest is
Gaza, with almost 2 million refugees. Some elders still carry the keys to
houses they left 75 years ago. If Israel was willing to recognize THEIR
birthright, we’d have had peace 30 years ago. Time and again, Israel walked
away from peace talks over this very issue. Instead, many Palestinians'
property was simply given to Jewish immigrants, with no consent or
compensation. This is stolen land.
Jews have always been the minority in Palestine. It was true in 1923, it’s
true in 2023. Israel maintains the illusion of a Jewish “majority” only by
brutal suppression of Palestinian human rights. This is Zionism! All human
rights should be respected, including Jews, but no government built on
minority rule has any right to exist.
We do not welcome Zionism at the Omni Commons. We are critical of anybody
who accepted Birthright trips to apartheid Israel in their youth, including
among our own organizers - but we also recognize that people can learn,
grow and change. Peace and justice require us to forgive people for their
mistakes.
We acknowledge that a stand for Palestine has to be a stand against
imperialism as a whole.
Biden is sending billions of dollars to fund Israeli settler colonial
projects to massacre the Palestinians while millions of us struggle to
survive here on the streets.
We believe in abolition. The abolition of open air prisons, caging
indigenous Palestinians genocide. The abolition of the Zionist state. The
abolition of US imperialism and greed for profit.
Liberation must be fought for. We must fight to make each other free.

There's an entire slack channel on Women Who Code of women from Latin
America learning English through programming chats. I'm learning Spanish
(Argentinian but Mexico is cool too)
I mentioned this for Women & NonBinary nights... but would it be cool to
suggest for SudoRoom in general?
I am travelling to Buenos Aires at the end of the month and won't be able
to be in a lot of the mondays and Tuesdays in November. I think this would
be a cool initiative though - help SudoRoom's wings spread!…
