Remember how a few weeks ago we all got together to shoot a video? Well,
the good news is it's almost done! But before we can publish our
Kickstarter/Indiegogo/whatever campaign, we've gotta rustle up some perks
and rewards for our contributors. What does that mean? Well, you know how
on Kickstarter you can get a copy of a musician's album if you donate X
amount? We need to have things to offer, too. What are those things, and at
what dollar amount?
Some ideas:
3d-printed schwag, $10
Badges!, $25
One-on-one sessions with the giant robotic arm, $2000, limit: 5 sessions

Damn, wish I had taken a closer look at that event description. I
agree with hep, it looks pretty alienating. Let's have a robot-themed
halloween party instead. Beep boop.
Hey!
I am doing the final cleaning / touching up of stuff in the ballroom today

To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Hi friends,
The Naomi Klein event is happening this Sunday morning at 10am.
I am going to spend as much time as I have tomorrow (Saturday) cleaning up
the ballroom and doing any little touch up jobs that I can.
If anyone is around I would greatly appreciate your help!
Things that need to get done:
- Remove from windows and store sound proofing baffles (these can probably
go into the ticket booth room - extra points if you feel like painting them
black!)
- Putting away tools on the stage - I organized these several weeks ago and
look at them! (cry!!!)
- Moving all sound equipment / speakers from stage - anyone know who this
stuff belongs to? If you can direct me, I will contact them!
- Moving punching bag - is this meant to live in the ballroom? Can we
identify a place to store it during events? Maybe the ticket booth room?
- General sweeping / dusting / cleaning

Hi all,
SudoInfo just received this email about an upcoming November event.
Is anyone interested in attending this event?
I'm interested in popping in and at least seeing what it's about.
I would be willing to go as a Sudo ambassador (to at least make contact
with the group/s who put this together) if no one else is interested/ free.

Add another projector? Did BAPS get another one? :)
I really would love to see an Omni-wide inventory management system that
has an integrated reservation protocol, which would help streamline aspects
of events like this. Unfortunately, this would be a lot of work to maintain
(I'm told).
So for now, I think having an online database with all of Omni's (and it's
collectives') open access tools/machines/etc with contact info for each is
the best way to go.
I.e. Sending a direct email or text to whomever owns/stewards the
tool/machine someone wishes to use, and the owner/steward keep track of the
item's calendar.
It's what people have already been doing, but I still see that there is
confusion around the topic.
I hope this helps a bit, but we ought to solidify this process into a
version that's more accessible to everyone.

Hello!
The Omni needs funds. Dia de los Muertos is a thing. We would like to
introduce new people to the space and expand our community.
I have attached a flyer for a possible event, a funky transhumanist/Dia de
los Muertos themed costume ball. Should this happen? Is there a reason
anyone would like to block?
Also, steampunk zombies! Mechanical corpses! Post-singularity glittery
things covered in LEDs! Ordinary awesome humans!

If anyone remembers this "reporter" please contact Haley at
samarasteele(a)gmail.com
--------begin snip------
I meet a reporter at the Unconference a few weeks ago who expressed to
me that his "beat" is worker's co-ops. He gave me his card, but I seem
to have lost it.
If either of you knows the reporter I'm talking about, would you mind
forwarding that last email on to him? It would be great to have him at
the meeting tonight!
Thank you so much!!
Hayley
