Tonight we have a delegates' meeting. I didn't make it to the last one and I
didn't do a good job of relaying the discussions (seen in the following
meeting notes) to this list so that people could weigh in on them:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/12/15_Delegates
Tonight in the meeting the elephant in the room was a sudden proposal to open
the ballroom (and basement to some extent) to use as an "emergency shelter" as
written here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13JXhQ5Oefuf5DXvSd_sZZI6QbeKcrsmjOOtV5MW…
that proposal is for opening parts of the omni tomorrow until wednesday as an
emergency shelter. We talked about it at length, and personally i am hopeful
that everything will go smoothly. Advertisements for Omni as a shelter have
somehow already appeared on instagram and twitter and even been
retweeted/advertised by the city of oakland on a list of storm shelters.
When it came time for the delegates to vote, I abstained or "stand aside" on
behalf of Sudoroom since I didn't get a chance to get input from our
membership on this proposal. It passed though, there were enough yes votes.
If anyone wants to help support ah shit this email isn't even going out until
the last day of the scheduled shelter event. They are now talking about
extending it another day.
As your delegate i should really be more on-top of things and not postpone
emails in the middle until they're too old to send.

Hello everyone,
Jake said someone might be borrowing one of the spot welders. Does anyone
know if there is a suitable spot welder for batteries that my friend could
use in the space on Tuesday night? Thank you!

Hi Peter,
We’ll have the crew arrive at 8PM. We’re going to be attending only one
workshop that is on the 10th.
Also If possible we will need to speak to coaches who are helping people
repair their stuff.
Happy New Year,

Hi all,
My company had a fire incident with a laser cutter (let this be a lesson
for all of us about laser cutter safety!). Although most of the parts are
still good, they've decided to simply replace the entire machine with a new
one.
Let me know if you are interested in taking the old one. It's offered as-is
with no guarantees made and no responsibility taken, but we think it could
be brought back to working condition with a little elbow grease and,
obviously, replacing the cover.
The laser still works, as do the Y and Z axes. The X axis needs the belt
changed and the cover needs to be completely replaced. Then everything will
have to be recalibrated. We estimate it's something like 6-10 hours of work.
You would also need to arrange for transport from West Oakland.
It's a 100W Omtech unit
<https://omtechlaser.com/products/100w-co2-laser-engraver-cutter-usb-gr57-us>,
selling new for $3899. We really liked it, and replaced it with an
identical model.
Let me know if interested and when you could pick it up.

Hi! I was at sudoroom a few months ago and saw that there was an embroidery machine (babylock ellageo esg2 i think) in the downstairs sewing lab. It was kind of disassembled at the time. Does anyone happen to know if it's working or needs parts/repairs?

dear Finance comrades,
can someone with access to Quickbooks and Unify CU please tell us whether
sudoroom is "paid up" to omni commons, and/or how much is in the "sudoroom"
CU account?
thank you and happy new year!
