I am handling the mediation for Nick, and at the Omni meeting before last, we decided that he should write a letter answering the open-ended question, "What have I learned?" (since being asked to leave). I read the letter at the most recent Omni meeting, and we decided that with Nick's permission, the letter be reposted to sudo-discuss. He asked me to post it here on his behalf since he is not a subscriber. At this point, we're asking everyone who has had issues with Nick to read this letter, and attend the next sudo meeting on Wednesday to vote on whether or not to allow him back into the space based on that. If you can't attend or have any other concerns that need to be handled privately, email me and let me know. Here is the letter: "Dear Sudo Room , Members & whom it may concern . I Nicholas Oakley am writing this this to share what have i have learned during my time with the Omni-Community , & the mediation process i have been participating in. . Coming to Omni Commons i was very excited and eager to share my ideas, suggestions , opinions etc. I however learned that being uber gung-ho in the community when one has not established a trusted rapport is a delicate process especially due to the progressive , radical &slightly complex nature of the omni-community . I have learned that expressing my opinions may not not be well received if one has not taken their time to acclimate to existing flow of the social atmosphere & governing processes . Being a massage Therapist I am a highly tactile person when it comes to communication. Also being massage professorial i am highly aware of the ethics of touch ...however bad habits are hard to break when your used to being in a more open and receptive environment . The safe space policy takes a moment to learn and adapt and i myself have slipped ..tho i feel its part of a learning curve . I have also learned that open ended jokes that may be misconstrued & taken personally & offensively by members of the community are not a good idea , especially if people do not know who Iam or what I am about .Personal space bubble are very important , i shouldn't invite myself if not invited , being curious about what your neighbors doing and peeking over their shoulder is frowned upon and rude if not given expressed consent . Contributing to a topic without first knowing history & process at hand or without collaborating with others isn't wise . I have learned a great deal on how to be a better and more effective member of the omni community and look forward to being able to return to commons , keeping this conversation open for benefit of myself & the community at Large . If further elaboration is needed at this time please let me know so i may accommodate . I am look forward to another opportunity to work , play ,learn grow with omni-commons a.s.a.p :) p.s. I am not a cop or undercover agent ...pls take a chance & the time to get know me before making such conclusions...i feel its defamation to my character :/ .... I am just highly curious & high spirited :) I have also learned not everyone is receptive to that aswell and require a larger bubble p.s.s. It has been said " The only way to trust somebody , is to trust them ;) "

Open Tech vs Closed Tech debate?

by Louis Huang

Hey guys, so i'm back... with a proposition! With such a welcoming email chain last time i replied about my start up, im thinking where all this anger was coming from? And so to try to resolve some hostility between two worlds (open tech and closed tech), anyone down for an live IRC debate? A spill of opinion between open tech (hackerspaces such as Noisebridge, SudoRoom) vs closed tech (TBD). I want to host it. Nubbii being an unbiased news platform, its feels right to be able to discuss such matters between the two worlds. Any takers? Of course I will have to find some closed tech people willing to do this. Truly, Louis http://nubbii.com | Unbiased News, Anonymous Discussions

Locker Storage

by WIld Cat

Hey I have my stuff in storage in a locker and I would ask for a waive of the locker fee until June 1st. I will be moving my stuff out then regardless and in the meantime I will do extra cleaning and stuff around the omni. Regardless PLEASE NOTIFY ME BEFORE CUTTING MY LOCK and I will get my stuff out. I have very little money right now. I have been homeless for 9 months and was recently robbed of a bunch of money so this would help me out a lot. I am very grateful for all that the OMNI has done for me and I will not be upset if I cannot keep my stuff there until june 1st but I am about to get back on my feet and that will greatly assist me. Solidarity, Elliot

Re: [sudo-discuss] Omni Commons Delegates for the Sudo Room

by Rachel Wolfsohn

I would be wary, sudo, of how few people it already takes to have quorum, and if that changes... A small clique of friends can be at a meeting, and make decisions for all of sudo. It's a broken system. Our leaders can either say "there's the power, don't give it to anyone, let's split it consciously" or "where's the power? i don't see it" the latter is falsity in my opinion, it deters you from taking any the former is truth. I think 1-vote-per-member; remotely solicited when live-vote isn't possible, is a much sounder way of representing the opinions and needs of many people. to my eyes, consensus seems to be closer to high school social dynamics than a step in political evolution. i'm definitely disillusioned about consensus after seeing this project.
