help find dolly & fire-safe 2-drawer file cabinet (missing from Omni ballroom)

by David Keenan

Hi everyone, I was planning on taking this to Reed Brothers today to rekey so we could have a safe place to store our important documents and petty cash. However as of last night at least, it appears to have disappeared from the ballroom. I have done a quick walk around the building and asked around but it cannot be found. We really need this and that dolly, too. If someone took it or repurposed it, can you please let me/us know asap? Love, David

Recycling: Please come cash in our bottles & cans!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I just threw several dozen bottles and cans in the recycling bins. If someone wants to pick them out and cash them in, feel free! There's a big blue recycling bin in CCL that I originally bought because the Fermentation Station said they wanted more bottles. But inevitably, I'm the one who winds up having to empty and clean that bin every week anyway. So - IT'S FREE SEASON ON EVERYTHING WITH A CA REFUND VALUE! If the Fermentation station empties the bin in CCL, that's great. If someone else wants to come empty it on a regular basis, that's just fine with me too. Just don't leave a mess for us to deal with afterwards. Please put all non-refund recyclables in the small recycling bins, and all non-recyclables in the black trash bin. Thanks! Patrik

I just saw these and thought they were pretty cool: Google cardboard (https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/). Low tech virtual reality glasses assembled by cardboard. They can be bought from google or the designs can be printed out, assembled DIY. - Louis

All kitchen appliances moved to Sudo, due to kitchen electrical issue

by David Keenan

All electrical appliances (toasters, microwave, hot water maker) in the kitchen have been temporarily moved to Sudo Room, following the electrical breaker powering the upstairs & la commune tripping with increasing regularity. This circuit powering the kitchen used to be on breaker #8 of the subpanel in Rise Above (west wall), now it is on #7 moved by Steve Bloom. Unfo it's now tripping way more than it een used to before, and hi-amp appliances in the kitchen such as toasters etc almost immediately trip the circuit. At this point this is a hazardous condition and an electricians are being called to try and resolve this. Please do not put any of these appliances back into the kitchen circuit until this electrical problem has been addressed. And contact me if anyone has any questions. Thank you :) Best, David

Electrical issue - please no space heaters right now, at least upstairs

by David Keenan

Hi all, I removed a space heater found in the upstairs 'treatment' room and stowed it below the stairs in the bunker room. Please everyone, do not connect any space heaters upstairs, or any high-amp-load device upstairs. For now the circuit has been left off pending a qualified electrician visiting. As stated in my email, this circuits powering the upstairs rooms currently has issues, is currently tripping constantly and any high-amp device sets it off. I also think there maybe should be no space heaters in omni, they suck an incredible amount of electricity. I would rather we run the furnaces. There is for example a furnace in Sudo/CCL that has never been turned on.. What do people think about no space heaters? Best, David

Gym equipment needs to be re-packed up, covered and removed

by David Keenan

Hi, someone unpacked the gym... I realize this is not obvious to many but for liability and consensus reasons we can't have the gym set up in a useable state. It was agreed that this equipment would be removed from the premises but that has still not happened.. it is just being stored, and hopefully, removed soon. I appreciate that someone wanted to set it up but please, put it back in a compact area and put the tarp back over it.. Contact me if you have any questions.. Best, David

Would Sudoroom like to host International Space Apps Challenge?

by Lisha Sterling

Hello Sudoers! Long time no see! It's been great to watch what's been going on in Sudoroom life, the move to Omni-Commons, the crowdfunding campaign, the classes and all the rest through the telescopic lens of the Interwebs. I miss you guys, though and look forward to visiting when I'm down in Oakland again. Today I'm writing to ask if you guys would be willing to be our host site for the Oakland site for the International Space Apps Challenge April 10-12, 2015. My colleague Lindsay Oliver is moving down to Oakland on March 1, and since she'll be a new local, we decided to celebrate her move by asking for the Oakland Space Apps license. Now that they've said that she can run that event, we need to find a site and hunt down sponsors to fund it. I thought about a couple different possible hosts, but then it dawned on me that Sudoroom and the Omni-Commons would be a WAY better site than any other I could think of. What we would would need from you is SPACE. Well,actually, we need space and internet and electricity. We will find sponsors to pay for food, beverages, and prizes (NB: We don't do cash prizes. We celebrate collaboration, not competition). If you guys have leads to help us find those sponsors, that's always appreciated, but not at all required. What you get: The awesomest hackathon of the year in your space, exposure to people who don't normally show up to hackerspaces but would probably love yours, mention in any press we get for the event, and of course, listing as a major sponsor of the Oakland site of ISAC. International Space Apps Challenge is a global hackathon with over 80 sites worldwide. This will be the fourth year of the event, and Geeks Without Bounds has been involved since the very first one. NASA curates challenges that have ranged from jewellery making to data hacking, educational development to interplanetary network design. There is literally something for everyone at a Space Apps Challenge, and it is our absolute favorite hackathon of the year. (Considering that we may do as many as 25 in any given year, that's saying something.) Geeks Without Bounds is a nonprofit organization fiscally sponsored by the School Factory. We support humanitarian open source projects through a combination of hackathons and an accelerator program where we take promising projects through a six month series of mentorships to help them reach sustainability. In the first year of Space Apps, GWOB ran the flagship event at Tech Shop in San Francisco. In the second year we organized three sites including Glasgow, Scotland and Krakow, Poland. Last year we were involved with 5 different sites around the globe. This year we will be organizing just two: Oakland, CA and Greensboro, NC. (Although people that we trained up will be taking over organization of sites in every city where we've organized Space Apps events in the past!) GWOB hackathons are always a little different than the stereotypical hackathon event. You can read more about our take on the form at http://gwob.org/why-i-love-hackathons/ And because GWOB was deeply involved in the original design of Space Apps when it first started, I like to think that this event is pretty awesome whichever site you may go to. We hope that you will say YES and that we can hack space with you and the 9000 or so Space Apps hackers around the world and on the ISS this year. Please let us know your answer by February 11, so that if you are not able to host us, we will still have plenty of time to find another location. Thank you! -- Lisha Sterling Executive Director, Geeks Without Bounds <http://geekswobounds.org/> telephone: 425-610-8636 hangouts: lisha(a)gwob.org schedule a meeting with me <http://doodle.com/lishevita>
