Hacking at sudoroom tomorrow? (non-member)

by Stephen Whitmore

Hi there, I've been to sudoroom a couple of times for JS Study Groups and was very excited to find sudo's views on tech and social justice seem to resonate with my own. The space seems really cool and friendly and I'd love to spend some more time there and meet folks: I have tomorrow off and was thinking of coming by to hack on some projects for part of the day (July 2nd). I was thinking of heading over early afternoon (maybe around 1200h-1300h). Is anyone going to be in the space tomorrow around then that can let me in and feels like showing me around? Thanks! -noffle

We all go through this

by Romy Ilano

Adam We all go through these issues. We've all been there I attempted to work on a children health eating idea a few years ago. I was was also burned out Engineers don't immediately respect you if you look like a young girl despite years of experience ; having money is so important ; People give advice but it's not always correct; there are lots of cool people who who'll help you ; Start up events are important but you must prioritize ; you'll meet a lot of people but it's important to filter politely ; this stuff is hard; if people find out you're working on a Health App they'll aggressively push 1500 calorie greasy burritos on you; Unfortunately there are a lot of cultural forces at play ; companies do not really make money when people eat less and get healthy ; most major health problems can be solved in the U.S. By avoiding most processed and fast foods not by buying more healthy food ; exercise doesn't really make you that much healthier compared to avoiding most snacks and standard American diet Like Marc said take notes. Usually most of your thoughts are wrong often you're right I came out of it learning how to code, avoiding making html 5 apps, lost a marriage, a boyfriend, still nearly bankrupt but I learned a lot!

RV needs off street parking for fire refugee use

by Robert Benson

I regrettably learned of some of our fellows' misfortune with fire recently & wish to relay an offer that may provide temp housing for some of those affected. Offer: RV needs registration & therefore off street parking for a few months in exchange for free use w/hacking privileges. RV is in good condition & owner hopes it stays in such. Cheers

Midsummer Finance Report: Somewhat Dire

by Jenny Ryan

I've just paid July's rent and June expenses totalling $2299.29. We currently have $644.98 in our bank account. This is approximately $6355 less than we want to have in order to have 3 months of expenses in our reserve. We are currently making $309.96/week on Gratipay, payouts being sent to our PayPal account in lieu of Balanced payments shutting down. We made $675 this month via Stripe. If you haven't switched over yet from Gratipay, this is your reminder to do so! You can register and sign up for payments at https://sudoroom.org/humans, or make a one-time $ or BTC donation through https://sudoroom.org/donate. All told, this means we made $1911 this month, about $400 less than we need to be making to be in the black. If you're a member and not donating, please for the love of bob, get on it! Sudo needs financial support now more than ever.

The R vs M Effect

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Humans, A person of color writing here, if that means anything. I said that if that means anything, because every time I go to the Omni I am NOT checking out what color is who, but instead I look for who I can work together with, or share ideas with, or socialize with, etc.. About a week ago or less I meet a Black Woman at Sudoroom, and we talked very briefly. And, even though it was only for about ten seconds or so, I felt that she means well. Her energy felt in place. I think she was Rannette. She wanted to use a phone charger; but were being used and she said will come back later on when the phone be done (or something along the line).I wish I had more positive things to say about about Rannette, but I haven't other opportunities to be in the same area at Omni when she is there. I have been part of Sudoroom for about two years, and even thought Morgan and I only have had very few short conversations I have never felt threaten by her. I have respected her space and she has done the same in return. So, based on my observations I want to share that Morgan cares for our community. Outside the Omni I have also observed Morgan in many rallies and marches. I have seen her giving her time, energy, passion, and care while fighting for the communities, specially for people of color and poor. And that for me, means a lot. And I respect that. I would like to remind everyone that we all are not perfect and that if from time to time we may do something wrong, but let's not the last thing the have done what will stain us forever. Perhaps when we make a mistake is when our comrade needs us the most, and not only when all is happiness. Solidarity is more than a word. Let's not get divided. I hope this situation be resolved in the good of Rannette and Morgan; and for the good of the community; one leaving or both leaving I will consider it a lost. Sincerely, Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rannette attacked someone physically for the second time

by WIld Cat

Rannette physically attacked a woman here today for the second time in one month. Rannette was being very loud about an incrimiwhile but eventuallyg thing when I asked her to not have that conversation in the space she began screaming at me and another woman stepped in telling her to stop yelling saying that she also needed to stop sleeping here and Rannette walked up to her drawing her hand back like she was going to slap her screaming bitch in her face then started screaming bitch at me. Threatening to leave and I affirmed that she should leave. Then She attacked the woman physically by checking her. We asked her to leave for violating the safe space policy and refused for a while eventually left. This month I have sent multiple emails about Rannettes behaivour to the mediation group and but i have gotten no response.
