Do you mean the convention, or the ferry? The convention doesn't allow dogs. According to the ferry website, non-service animals need to be in a carrier. I've met your dog, though, and they're small. I bet they could get away with sitting on your lap, but I don't have enough experience with the ferry to say for sure. I've CC'd the rest of the mailing list. Does anyone know if the ferry enforced the dogs-in-carrier rules? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org> On Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 9:14 AM Jonathan Cadle <jcadle(a)pm.me> wrote: > > Taking the ferry over sounds like fun.

fixing the leak in the sudoroom roof/ceiling

by Jake

As you all might remember, the roof leaks a lot in the southwest corner of sudoroom, when it rains. Going up there, we concluded that there is a low area in that corner, due to settling of the building. There may be other ways to "fix" this, but the most obvious to me is to install a new drain on the roof, in the middle of the low spot. I have acquired a drain that's SOMEWHAT like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Plumber-s-Choice-3-1-2-in-4-in-Kitchen-Sink… we have pipes and a drain in sudoroom (that's presently connected to a traffic cone funnel catching rain from the tarp) that we can connect to this drain. I have a plan for connecting to the drain from inside, after installing it in a hole in the roof, that does not involve a person reaching the ceiling inside sudoroom. Instead, we would put the threaded lower part of the drain assembly on the end of a pipe, and screw the pipe onto the drain from below, by holding the lower end of the pipe from the top of the ladder we have (saving about 10 feet I think) Cutting the hole in the roof is straightforward, using a hole saw through the tarpaper and wood that makes up the roof in that spot. Then we place the upper part of the drain assembly into the hole and hold it there while the person inside threads the pipe / lower threaded assembly onto the drain. Then we connect a hose/pipe to that pipe to the drain on the floor in sudoroom. anyone who is available to help do this task, please get with me. This idea has already been run through the omni building group and after an initial freakout of "omg drill a hole in the roof!?!?" people realized that the roof has several drains in it already and that's how you remove water from it. There are not objections from that group anymore. -jake

Hello from noisebridge hackerspace, and question about opensauce.live (fwd)

by Jake

-------- forwarded message from Ryan Sternlicht --------------- Hey hope you all have been doing well, I know some of you know who I am and some don't or might not remember me, I am Ryan Sternlicht (pyconaut), I am a long time Member of Noisebridge hackerspace, and proponent of bay area makerspace and hackerspaces. I have often been an event orginiser at noisebridge and have helped out at many maker faire booths and local maker events, as well as I have advised a few makerspaces and hackerspaces on tools to buy, how to orginise events, and how to create a good community. I am guessing some of you know that this weekend in San Francisco will be a big maker / maker youtuber event called opensauce.live. Since the loss of Maker faire bay area, there has been a severe lack of get togethers of the bay area maker community. I know since the pandemic and even before then some of our spaces have been in need of help, space wise, finacially, community wise, etc. And events like this can be a good way to help get the word out to the larger maker community. At the noisebridge booth we will be having a FIND A MAKERSPACE / HACKERSPACE table with info from spaces around the bay (this means all of you). PLEASE FILL OUT INFO IN THIS DOCUMENT (So that I can make a few booklets for people to look through) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URzM_MKuVCH04BezEwmHSRBGYdTZAs44JR4HdlX… If possible I would also like to get things to hand out such as Stickersbuisness cardsStamppinsPostcards from as many of you as possible Feel free to drop these off at noisebridge over the next few days (there will be a box inside of the main space near the roll up door that says FOR OPENSAUCE). Or if you know anyone going to opensause have them come drop them off at our booth to put on our table. I will also have space at the booth for some small projects, If you want to have one of your projects on display please fill out this form. https://forms.gle/FEAhhTm5FhPuqKpk8 I will be at noisebridge today from around 4pm to 1am, tomorrow from 6pm to 1am, thursday from 6pm to 1am, and friday during random hours. If you want to drop a project off, please do it while I am there or give it to someone you know at the space that can put it in a locker for you. So that projects do not get messed with, I will be putting them in lockers, or bringing them home with so that they do not sit out at noisebridge. Bring as many projects as you want, (as long as the are not massive), any that do not get displayed at Open Sauce will be safley stored and returned to you after the weekend (or can be picked up to show at the parties). I will be hosting Parties at noisebridge on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Feel free to drop by and hang out, show of a project that can't be brought to opensauce, and meet people. I will have the stage set up if you want to announce about your space.

help with processing grant to sudoroom

by Jake

i'm somehow in the middle of a bunch of paperwork for a grant that Judy and Peter helped Sudoroom get. We have been approved for the grant but there is a bunch of followup required, including documenting the things we repair (or try to repair) at sudoroom, and reading through the agreements and staying on top of this. i'm overcommitted so hopefully someone else can step in and help me, Judy and Peter stay on top of this, so we can get the money. It's $10,000 which is pretty important for sudoroom (and Omni) to stay afloat, since our monthly donations are not enough to pay our rent. -jake

[omni-consensus] Application to Become a Member Collective: TANC (fwd)

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom, this proposal came in today. I haven't read much of it but it looks ok to me so I would be inclined to vote in favor of the proposal on behalf of sudoroom. As our delegate to the Omni Commons meetings, I represent our collective will about issues like this. If Sudoroom discusses this then I can forward and represent whatever we agree on according to our own bylaws. I would love for someone else to step up and act as sudoroom delegate instead of me! I am not available to make all the meetings anyway so if we want representation someone else will have to step in in august at least. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2023 13:58:18 -0700 From: Daniel Tutt <daniel.g.tutt(a)gmail.com> To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org, discuss(a)omnicommons.org Subject: [omni-consensus] Application to Become a Member Collective: TANC Hi all, Been at the last couple delegate meetings and talking with some of you, but here's the official application for TANC (the tenant union, https://baytanc.com/) to become a member collective at the Omni! This is also going up for a vote at the TANC assembly in later July, so it would have to be tentative until then, but my sense is there is broad support! We could move in as early as August, though perhaps September is more realistic. Also, TANC is a 509a2 organization, which is under the 501c3 umbrella. Thank you, Dani TANC Onboarding Coordinator *1. What do you do that makes a difference in the world?* TANC is a tenant union, so we are tenants getting organized to fight back against the landlord class. From our website: We are a group of Bay Area tenants who are fed up with rising rents, evictions, and harassment at the hands of landlords. We are fed up with our neighbors having no option but to live unsheltered and at constant risk of police harassment. We want to stop landlords, developers, and cops from looting our communities. Capitalism is what connects all of these housing issues. Profit has been prioritized over our quality of life. There is only one way to push against a system that exploits our need for housing: we have to get organized. Together we can take collective action, and begin to force overdue rent reductions across the Bay Area. If you or someone you know wants to organize for lower rents, timely maintenance, end landlord harassment, or focus on any other housing issue—reach out to us. *2. **Briefly recap your history as an organization.* TANC was founded in 2018, and has grown since then, splitting into multiple union locals and approving an official constitution. We now have about 800 dues paying members and are actively organizing multiple buildings at any time. *3. How do you make decisions? How many people are involved?* TANC has various ways of making decisions, detailed here <https://baytanc.com/constitution/>. Organization-wide decisions are made at monthly assemblies or yearly conventions by vote of the membership. At least 20 people must vote to make a quorum for any decision, and it's currently rare to have more than 60 people vote. *4. Please include links to any organizing documents you may have: bylaws, mission statement, etc.* Same link as above, here <https://baytanc.com/constitution/>. *5. State your goals for becoming an Omni member collective. How would your presence in the Omni contribute to its purpose and Statement of Solidarity?* TANC organizes working class tenants, generally aligns with the statement of solidarity, and also puts a lot of effort into language justice. The union also has many members and should be able to contribute consistently to the culture and operations of the Omni. *6. What dedicated space do you need? What will you do in it? (For example: office, work space, etc)* TANC would be looking to move our office to the Omni. We use the office for union work, meetings, some storage, and weekly office hours. *7. What shared space do you need? What will you do with it?* TANC already uses the Omni shared space for our North-West local meetings and our conventions and other large events. We plan to continue doing so, and would pay similar rates while the OMNI is in financial difficulty. *8. Will you need to modify the building? (Include floor plans if that makes your proposal clearer.)* We've looked at an office space upstairs, currently being rented unused by the Chiapas Support Committee and the Global Woman's Strike groups, with the understanding that they would be happy to hand over the space. No modifications necessary! *9. How much are you able to pay?* TANC can pay $700 per month for the office space.
