French documentary interviews at Sudo Room?

by Mitch Altman

Hi, An acquaintance of mine is a documentary filmmaker. He's in the Bay Area now, and is looking for people to interview at a hackerspace, about Silicon Valley -- positive or negative or nuanced or whatever. I told him about Sudo Room and CCL, and he thought it would be a good place to interview people, if people there are OK with it, and if there is anyone there who would like to be interviewed (especially women and POC). Cheers, Mitch

mask policy in sudo/omni

by Jake

when I got to Sudoroom, a guy named Patrick was here and not wearing a mask. I welcomed him to sudoroom but I mentioned that building policy is presently that everyone has to wear a mask. He asked me who's in charge and who made that rule, and I explained how Omni is run by delegates from the individual collectives etc, and that we were complying with the law I believe. I would appreciate an update on our situation so that I can answer questions about our mask policy more accurately, if anyone can help me with that. As for Patrick, he explained that his "spiritual choice" (he doesn't like religion) is to not wear a mask ever. Then he said that if this is our policy, then he will gather his stuff and leave and never come back. I asked if he wanted me to contact him if our policy changes, and he said no, and left. -jake

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

[omni-consensus] FIRST DRAFT PROPOSAL: Village of Love

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom members, We will have to send our delegate (me) to the delegates' meeting in two weeks with a position on the following proposal to operate a day center in the basement of Omni, as described here: https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220505/d539bbca/a… When I first heard about this idea, I didn't think it would be practical, but having been in the delegates' meeting and tonight having heard directly from Joey who is leading this operation, I'm confident that it will be a positive use of the space, and in line with the common values that Omni collectives share. Also, this proposal will significantly increase the chances that we'll not lose the building in 210 days when the baloon mortgage comes due, as the money coming in from Village Of Love will help us present as a viable operation to banks considering giving us a loan. I know we don't want to make decisions based purely on money, or purely because we want to keep the Omni, so I think it's great that this proposal seems to me like it's going to be a good thing. If sudoroom members have specific questions or concerns about this proposal, speak up now so that we can start the process of addressing them. If nobody has anything to say about it, like what happened with MOP, I will represent that Sudoroom is in favor of this proposal Forwarded below is some context, and a link to the meeting notes from the latest delegates' meeting discussing this proposal. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 5 May 2022 21:54:56 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] FIRST DRAFT PROPOSAL: Village of Love Update: a few points were clarified at tonight's delegates meeting https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/05/05_Delegates#vol VOL's initial proposal is to pay a total of $1800/mo beginning June 1, for these four existing basement rooms: 1) The former FYE room 2) The room next to that, currently used as FNB storage 3) The room next to that, formerly Liberated Lens 4) The larger enclosed space which joins all the above rooms For the first few months (June, July, August) VOL would also like to use the entrance hall during their operating hours (10-3 M-F). Their use would be compatible with the free store and with ANV. Once we finish building the new basement room (approved 4/21) they would like to pay $800/mo for that as well. Once all construction finishes in that area of the basement, they would also like to pay $400/mo to occupy and curate the open space adjacent to these two rooms. These could come as separate proposals, but it'd be good for delegates to agree to the broad outline if possible. At that point, their total would be $3000/month.
