Pallet Jack for the Omni?

by Ed Biow

Can the sudoroom and/or Omni use a pallet jack? I also have a few pallets. If so, where should I stick the thing(s)? Ed

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Global Women's Strike

by Ryan

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: niki <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 9:09 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Global Women's Strike To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hi all, I've been in communication with members of the Global Women's Strike for the past several months regarding potential Omni membership. *Please read and distribute among your collectives the potential member proposal that they sent out!* I have asked them to attend one of the delegates' meetings in August in order to discuss / answer any questions but *PLEASE* let me know if you, or any member of your collective, has a question, concern, etc, that I can attempt to get answered before that time. Since our next regular delegates' meeting is not until August 6th, this should be plenty of time for people to review and respond to the proposal. This is an incredible group of activists who have done a tremendous amount of important work over the past 40 years. They are being evicted from the space they've worked out of for many decades in SF and I would love it if we were able to provide them with a home. <3 N _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus -- Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/35215676?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/35215676?utm_med…>

Fwd: A man forced himself into my car last night

by Jenny Ryan

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 4:47 PM Subject: A man forced himself into my car last night To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> ...outside the Omni on Shattuck around 3am. He seemed nice and was asking if I had anything to eat. I was rummaging in the backseat for foodstuffs when he opened the door and got into the car with me, moving into my space. Thankfully, Maxamillion was on his way out the door and pulled him out of the car. The man proceeded to grab him by the hair and they were at a standoff shouting until I got in the middle, broke them apart, and we jumped into the car and drove off. ~6'4", wearing grey sweats, possibly a Jamaican accent, and tiny braids a bit past shoulder-length. Be careful out there, friends.

Letter of Resignation

by Jenny Ryan

Friends, Friday will be my last day in the Omni for an indefinite period of time while I address a couple of personal issues that are bound up with my increasingly problematic behavior, aggression, stress, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and burnout. I realize that I take my leave at a critical juncture, and intend to continue remotely helping with the following: * Building/Finance bookkeeping * Ethnographic research of other commons-based projects * Legal entity research and fundraising work * Several of Omni's IndieGoGo perks * Brainstorming on a new booking/calendar system * Procuring necessary documents from David Keenan and organizing them at htps://omnicommons.org/cloud * Visioning (I believe my distance will enable a more coherent perspective to contribute to these important conversations) * Followup and resolution of all outstanding working group action items (primarily for Commons, Building, Fundraising aka 'Until the Revolution', and Finance). * sudo mesh <https://sudomesh.org> documentation, finances, regular email updates, organizing node mounts and public outreach (i realize i've been dropping the ball on this but would like to shift my focus back to other projects dear to my heart) Things I've been responsible for that others will need to step up to help with include: * Paying sudo's rent / utilities / insurance bills, * Finance updates at weekly sudo meetings, * Acting as an Omni delegate for sudo room, ** Omni proposals and announcements at sudo room meetings, * Regular Costco runs for general Omni supplies such as toilet paper, dish soap, etc; * Purchasing materials for building-related projects, * Helping with many events renting space <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Booking_System> at the Omni, * Maintaining the ever-buggy Omni calendar <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Calendar_System>, * Co-facilitating monthly Open Circle meetups <https://omnicommons.org/connect> with Antoinette, supporting families of victims of police violence, * Weekly front door shifts (Thursdays 2-6pm) and pestering Omninoms to volunteer to be a front door greeter, * Documenting working group meeting minutes on the wiki and general wiki maintenance, * Various communications and relationships I intend to hand off to the appropriate people, * Organizing work parties for Building projects, * Creating a direct point of contact with neighbors around the Omni, * Figurehead role of Secretary of the Board of the Omni Commons and Board Member on behalf of sudo room. Things I've already dropped the ball on: * Proper onboarding of new sudoroom members * Monthly Cryptoparties <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cryptoparty> (Third Sundays in sudo) * Facilitating the Welcoming working group <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Welcoming_Committee> * Facilitating the Communications working group <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Communications_Working_Group> I love you all very much. Please know that I'm not doing this out of spite but rather out of love for this project, this community, and myself. I apologize to anyone I've hurt over the course of this project and hope to recontinue building and dreaming with you all once I've healed myself and risen to a better place than where I've been. I will be at the community meeting tomorrow evening to discuss the Fundraising WG's proposals for moving forward to buy the building, and Friday evening to help out with the Digital Detox event that will be utilizing much of the building. I will be travelling in Europe and visiting my family for the entirety of August. Please get in touch directly if you'd like to talk about anything.

craigslist posting advertising newbie nights 5-7pm wedensdays

by Romy Ilano

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ats/5135762910.html If anything is incorrect here, I'll take it down or edit I think there's a slow period in July-August, especially when school's out and people are traveling If anyone is interested in any more outreach do tell! For me the huge advantage SudoROom has are the hours, the people, the punk rock mentality and... the late hours! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

free plywood

by Rachel McConnell

Large drops from our CNC shop. 3/4" shop maple. http://imgur.com/a/uBhxX Free in Hayward, 1424 west winton ave at Saklan, around the back of the building. IS THIS OF GENERAL INTEREST? If you think it's not, or you think it is, please let me know. We have scraps of useful size to get rid of fairly often and I'd love it if they could be used, but if ppl don't want to know I won't spam the list. Rachel1.0
