Hello Folks, The meeting with CAST was incredibly sweet and wholesome. They shared more about their values. We shared a number of our existing problems OMNI has had in the past, we also shared the essence of who we are, what we do, and what we believe. They appeared to be genuinely impressed and excited. We also gave them a tour of the building. While they didn’t give us much information on whether they have intention to help us with our many needs, I believe they see hard work that has gone into the OMNI, the positive outcomes it has delivered in the past, as well as the potential it has for great things in the future. The next meeting is on May 1 (6:30-8PM) to discuss representation and experience for QTBIPOC Collective Members. If you are QTBIPOC and would like to attend please reach out. We should invite QTBIPOC folks to represent their experience at SUDO, if you know someone who you feel would be at this please reach out to them directly. *Feel free to:* - Invite members to this event personally - Reply to this thread if you are interested in attending. - Email Directly to confirm attendance (williamrmyers(a)gmail.com) I'm Looking forward to working with them to make great things happen! Best William

Last night some more explorations of WebXR (virtual reality on the web)

by Romy Ilano

Hung out at SudoRoom last night, met some cool people and am continuing to bring new and fresh faces to the hackerspace! I'm still exploring web hosting of virtual reality. Aframe is a promising framework and this would make for a clean and easy workshop! https://github.com/aframevr/aframe It's great socializing with folks. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

How is everyone doing? What have you worked on this week?

by Romy Ilano

I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light projection. I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to hardware hack night Tuesdays! One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many. Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would distract me and try to get me into that the past few weeks. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Safety Volunteers at SUDO/OMNI

by William Myers

Recently the OMNI has experienced some serious safety issues, including a situation that resulted in police being called into the space. The delegates are asking for volunteers that can be available generally to respond to safety issues relating to Safe Space Bans, and other safety issues... - responding quickly to Safe Space bans - making sure building access is revoked for banned people - making sure that the Process's for safe space bans, as well as and a process for reporting unsafe behavior, are publicly visible and available in the space. This will likely be formalized into an official committee later on, which will include de-escalation training, but for now we would like to ask for more volunteers. If you have time for helping improve Safety at SUDO and OMNI please reach out! Thanks William

tuesday hardware hack night was magical!

by Romy Ilano

Last night was quite magical! It reminded me of why I love hackerspaces so much. I invited 5 or 6 cool people from AI and augmented reality / virtual reality meetups and hackathons I knew. I think most of them had never been to a hackerspace before. three new people showed up, and none of them had ever been to SudoRoom before. We got an exhibiting artist to visit! I'd like to get more painters, artists etc. to be visiting SudoRoom. Talked about paintings, and making 3D models, and using the light projectors to project art. Introduced them to the media lab with CeCe (sic) and the sewing machines. Dane put up a light projector (I'm face palming becusa I keep talking about this but never bring the ones I have, one of them is a loaner from SudoRoom that I need to leave at SudoRoom), and he projected the hackers movie onto the wall. A cool new person came and we did multiplayer augmented reality with our headsets. Augmented reality is at a nascent stage right now, but I love creating art on it the most. We mirrored what we were seeing for others. We talked about doing an ongoing blender class and I learned how to do Booleans to cut shapes out of others shapes. I think since I'm time constrained I might as well run a small pod of people Tuesday evenings. Went over kitbashing. Had some great green goddess pizza with Paige and folks. Thanks Paige for supporting the pizza! Explored the neighborhood (Temescal) with the folks who had never been to SudoRoom before. AN ongoing theme is that we never seem to grab the awesome foot traffic of the neighborhood. There were so many people walking to restaraunts last night even though the area has relatively little parking. More than you might see in a lot of downtown oakland There were regular community gatherings at the board game store across the street (is it called it's your move) there's a kitchen appliance store that was having a cooking workshop (they could be at omni commons!) Only took a quick look at the new telepresence robot. I spoke to Jake, i will have to email the company that made the robot, hopefully we can connect to them and get a free software update since we are a non profit While I was there I got an AI APi to work, might make something fun for a hackathon or sudoroom demos. I'm very interested in using AI to help people create art manually instead of replacing artists. It was nice to see the dance event going on tuesday nights. wonder if I should reach out to them and interact with them more! we talked about fundraising for sudoroom, omnicommons and the MADE game museum in old oakland. A lot of the stuff at Sudoroom is suitable for a museum - it'd be nicve to have augmented reality exhibits of what stuff is and "educate people" step by step beased on their engineering level and computer history knowledge what things are. There are going to be great things ahead this month! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

tool lending request for car repair

by Paige P

Hi, Freeway (Wood Street Commons member) is requesting the following. "Joel needs the following tools to fix our brakes: 14 mm socket,a jack, 21mm socket, a wire brush, a large flathead screwdriver... if anyone can loan him these tools for the day, we can return them as soon as he's done... thanks in advance!" does anyone have a jack to lend them? I believe the rest of the items we could lend from Omni's supplies Thanks, Paige
