Would you forward the link below as well as the invitation attached to Sudo
Room? Edward was involved there a few times, and there may be some folks
who know him. We are trying to connect with his friends as best we can.

Thanks Jake! The event starts at 11am, goes 'til 5pm, but you can leave earlier if need be. I'll put you near an outlet.
Are you guys bringing a 3D printer? I'd really love to have one on the floor, so if you aren't bringing one, I'll reach out to someone else who can.
Please let me know if you need anything else or directions to the museum.
So happy to have you guys on board!!
Diane

Site!
To: eecs-announce(a)eecs.berkeley.edu
Please forward the following message about the Wikipedia Art+Feminism
Edit-A-Thon that will be hosted at UC Berkeley:
*What:* Wikipedia Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon
*Where:* BCNM Commons (near Free Speech Movement Cafe), Moffitt Library, UC
Berkeley Campus
*When:* Saturday, March 7, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the
Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify
as female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate; suggestions
include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public
comportment, and the sometimes contentious nature of Wikipedia’s talk
pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is
skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming
absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. Let's
change that.
Join Berkeley Center for New Media on Saturday, March 7 from 11 a.m. - 4
p.m. for a collaborative edit-a-thon of Wikipedia entries on subjects
relating to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner
Wikipedians, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop,
power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the
editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. Women,
women-identified, and male allies welcomed. *RSVP on Facebook and register
on our Wikipedia Meet-up page. We look forward to seeing you there!*

Subject: [omni-building] internet cable and garbage
To: omni-building(a)googlegroups.com
Hi All! I'm so excited to finally be moved into my space at the Omni. A
couple things have come up for me and I'm not sure if this is the right
place to reach out, if not can you point me in the appropriate direction?
1. There is a blue ethernet cable that comes in the wall between my shop
and the hallway and goes out the wall again a few feet away only to come
back in the doorway and then plug into the phone line (I think). I've been
asking for someone (from Sudo?) to reroute it so that it just comes in and
goes right to the plug instead of the wrapping around. I'm concerned that
it will be damaged by the door closing on it repeatedly. Who can help?
2. I know this may be more involved but I'm wondering if the placement of
the trash cans can/will be discussed soon? It's going to be a major drag to
work all day in that stink. I've heard the plan is to take them out of the
hallway. Is that true?
Thanks and love!
Gaby

hey all -
After niki et al made a special dump run with a ton of crap that had been
building up in the garbage room, theres still what looks like a useable
bike trailer in the trash room, as well as a bunch of other random stuff in
there too..
If this is y'alls - please remove it? If you know whose that stuff is, let
me know?
Same with the hallway - the hallway needs to be clear as it is a fire
corridor for the building plus an accessibility issue.
Signs have been put up and barring any objection I am planning on removing
all this stuff by next week.
Best,
David

I was the delegate last week, and I'd love to make this week's meeting, but
where I live they've trapped me in my room with mattresses I can't move and
I've told them and they said they'd move them half an hour ago, but they're
still there so I highly doubt I'll make the meeting tonight.
I'd try and convey what I'd say at the meeting, but my brain is instead
just freaking out about being trapped. There were other sudoers at the
delegates meeting.

It's unclear. Maybe. Some of the people with clues and answers would
have to get together and talk about it and decide something for sure.
Somebody should organize a meeting for that. Who's gonna do it?
