It came into being in response to a collective recognition of the crucial need for free, public spaces in which to engage in the shared exploration, contemplation and generation of new ideas through group discourse, collaborative learning, and creative inquiry.<br /> <br /> It is our belief that spaces which are unrestrained by institutional pedagogical models and agendas, which are completely free, which are open to and determined by the public, and which allow for the exchange of ideas and methods, inform the types of creative practices that help us to understand, articulate and respond to the conditions of our own time within a greater historical context. We are of the opinion that the division of study into distinct and separate categories intended to produce “Specialists” and “Authorities” as arbiters of what is culturally and socially valuable, is antithetical to the synthesis required for the development of truly new modes of thinking and being in the world, and, ultimately, for the construction of creative modes of expression necessary to meaningful, considered inquest into prevailing systems, their historical antecedents, and future potentialities.<br /> <br /> As a part of this experiment, the Bay Area Public School maintains that all classes, events and resources will always be completely free to all people. We are critical of the prohibitive costs of higher education and, in turn, the exclusion of those unwilling or unable to submit to lifelong debt, from participation in the philosophical, political, and aesthetic discourses which largely mediate the social and cultural content that shapes our world.<br /> <br /> = Chiapas Support Committee =<br /> * http://compamanuel.com/<br /> * https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chiapas-Support-Committee-Oakland/86234490686<br /> * contact: cezmat@igc.org<br /> <br /> The Chiapas Support Committee / Comité de Apoyo a Chiapas (CSC) is a grassroots all-volunteer group based in Oakland, California.

We currently are working on an anthology of East Bay poets called Its Night in San Francisco but it&#039;s Sunny in Oakland, as well as a set of calendar reform tracts by Hakim Bey.<br /> <br /> * https://vimeo.com/89037660<br /> * https://vimeo.com/user9045346</div>

<p>Liberated Lens admin: </p> <hr /> <div>Here is a list of Omni&#039;s member collectives and information about them!<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[join|How do I start a collective?]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> = Agua Viva =<br /> [[File:aguavivalogo.jpeg|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://aguaviva.coop <br /> * contact: aguaviva &quot;at&quot; omnicommons &quot;dot&quot; org<br /> <br /> Several members of the Omni community are forming a worker-owned cafe co-operative that will concurrently serve two purposes:<br /> <br /> * Provide a warm, welcoming and familiar cafe environment at the entrance of the space in order to invite members of the public to enter and explore.<br /> * Act as a conduit for community engagement by hosting community events and providing information about the various groups, meetings, events and resources available to the public. <br /> <br /> We are currently in a buildout phase and are aiming to open to the public by October 1st, 2016.<br /> <br /> = Art Bison Design Cooperative =<br /> [[File:Abdclogo.jpg|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://artbisondesigncoop.blogspot.com/<br /> <br /> Art Bison is a feminist collective that shares resources and produces media. Our principal media is screen printing and we are as much makers as we are teachers. We empower youth, womyn, those with barriers to employment, LGBTQIA folks, and all who are curious, to make their own media. Through work/trade we are able to produce shirts and posters for, often at no cost, to a wide variety of social and political events. <br /> <br /> = Bay Area Public School =<br /> [[File:Logo-baps.png|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://bayareapublicschool.org/<br /> * contact: publia.pigeon &quot;at&quot; gmail &quot;dot&quot; com<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;A Free School&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> The Bay Area Public School is an ongoing, evolving experiment in bringing forth radical alternatives to existing institutions. It came into being in response to a collective recognition of the crucial need for free, public spaces in which to engage in the shared exploration, contemplation and generation of new ideas through group discourse, collaborative learning, and creative inquiry.<br /> <br /> It is our belief that spaces which are unrestrained by institutional pedagogical models and agendas, which are completely free, which are open to and determined by the public, and which allow for the exchange of ideas and methods, inform the types of creative practices that help us to understand, articulate and respond to the conditions of our own time within a greater historical context. We are of the opinion that the division of study into distinct and separate categories intended to produce “Specialists” and “Authorities” as arbiters of what is culturally and socially valuable, is antithetical to the synthesis required for the development of truly new modes of thinking and being in the world, and, ultimately, for the construction of creative modes of expression necessary to meaningful, considered inquest into prevailing systems, their historical antecedents, and future potentialities.<br /> <br /> As a part of this experiment, the Bay Area Public School maintains that all classes, events and resources will always be completely free to all people. We are critical of the prohibitive costs of higher education and, in turn, the exclusion of those unwilling or unable to submit to lifelong debt, from participation in the philosophical, political, and aesthetic discourses which largely mediate the social and cultural content that shapes our world.<br /> <br /> = Birdhouse =<br /> Birdhouse&#039;s mission:<br /> * To bring into the Omni community artists whose perspectives, experiences and artwork challenge the dominant culture.<br /> * To increase free, donation based arts programming in the Bay Area<br /> * To create a visible arts presence and broadening the perception of the Omni as an arts space.<br /> * To provide a platform for artists and non artists alike, to use the infrastructure, community and resources of the Omni for free and horizontally organized arts and arts education programs.<br /> * To collaborate on creative projects with other member collectives and horizontally organized groups in the Bay Area.<br /> <br /> = Chiapas Support Committee =<br /> * http://compamanuel.com/<br /> * https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chiapas-Support-Committee-Oakland/86234490686<br /> * contact: cezmat@igc.org<br /> <br /> The Chiapas Support Committee / Comité de Apoyo a Chiapas (CSC) is a grassroots all-volunteer group based in Oakland, California. CSC serves as a center for education and information about Chiapas, the Zapatista communities and Mexico.<br /> <br /> CSC works with Indigenous Zapatista communities to support and accompany their process of constructing autonomous health care, education and economic development.<br /> <br /> The Chiapas Support Committee regularly organizes forums and other events and activities to share and discuss ideas, analyses and developments related to the Zapatista communities, Mexico and U.S.-related policies.<br /> <br /> = Counter Culture Labs =<br /> [[File:Logo-ccl.png|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://www.counterculturelabs.org/<br /> * contact: info &quot;at&quot; counterculturelabs &quot;dot&quot; org<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;DIYbio homegrown in the East Bay.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Counter Culture Labs is part of the burgeoning global DIYbio movement here to excite curiosity and empower exploration. It is a place to share tools, knowledge and experience - a comfortable, open community in which to learn, create, tinker and innovate. We are open to biohackers, biotech professionals, citizen scientists and empiricists of all stripes!<br /> <br /> [[File:Ccl.jpg|noframe|400px]]<br /> <br /> = Food Not Bombs =<br /> [[File:Logo-fnb.png|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://www.ebfnb.org/<br /> * hefinkel &quot;at&quot; gmail &quot;dot&quot; com<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Free Food for the People! Cultivating community alternatives to the money economy...&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> East Bay Food Not Bombs has been operating in Berkeley and Oakland continuously on a volunteer basis since 1991. We cook large scale community meals and serve free food six days a week. Food Not Bombs functions on a paradigm of grassroots recourse re-distribution, bringing free food to parks, political events, neighborhood gatherings, and social centers.<br /> <br /> Through Food Not Bombs we create infrastructure outside of money through which abundance can be shared. Food Not Bombs is excited and intrigued by the Omni project and the collaboration between collectives. We believe that a community kitchen is integral to creating a space of “commons”. Over and over we have seen the kitchen as a main artery and gathering point in liberated, autonomous space.<br /> <br /> = Global Womens Strike - Omni Collective =<br /> [[File:Logo-gws.png|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://www.globalwomenstrike.net/<br /> * lori &quot;at&quot; allwomencount &quot;dot&quot; net<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Invest in caring not killing!&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> International network for recognition &amp; payment for all caring work, and the return of military spending to the community starting with women the main carers everywhere.<br /> <br /> Women &amp; girls do 2/3 of the world&#039;s work, most of it unwaged. +$1 trillion/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic health, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Who we are:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * The Global Women&#039;s Strike is a grassroots network with national co-ordinations in a number of countries. Invest in caring not killing is our strategy for change. We campaign for the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main carers in every country of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and throughout the year. We work to ensure that power relations among us are addressed, and that each of our struggles is backed by our collective power.<br /> * Women from different sectors are involved: women of colour, Indigenous &amp; rural women, mothers, women in waged work, lesbian, bisexual women &amp; TT women, sex workers, religious activists, women with disabilities, older &amp; younger women...<br /> <br /> = Liberated Lens =<br /> * [[Liberated_Lens_Collective|https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Liberated_Lens_Collective]]<br /> * contact: Liberated_Lens@lists.riseup.net<br /> * announcements mailing list: https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/liberated_lens.announce<br /> * Open Meeting Time: Sundays, 7pm<br /> <br /> See their [[Liberated_Lens_Collective|wiki page]] for info!<br /> <br /> = Phat Beets =<br /> [[File:Logo-pb.png|right|noframe|200px]]<br /> * http://www.phatbeetsproduce.org/<br /> * contact: info &quot;at&quot; phatbeetsproduce &quot;dot&quot; org<br /> <br /> Phat Beets Produce is a food justice collective.

We have a west coast lean towards the experimental/political/mystical.<br /> <br /> We have published works by Ivy Johnson, Olive Blackburn, Justin Carder, Amy Berkowitz, Zoe Tuck, Sasha Fletcher, Emji Spero, Otis Pig, and many others. We currently are working on an anthology of East Bay poets called Its Night in San Francisco but it&#039;s Sunny in Oakland, as well as a set of calendar reform tracts by Hakim Bey.<br /> <br /> * https://vimeo.com/89037660<br /> * https://vimeo.com/user9045346<br /> <br /> = Youth Empowerment Services =<br /> * http://www.globalcommunicationservices.org/y.e.s.-program.html<br /> * contact: http://www.globalcommunicationservices.org/contact-us.html<br /> <br /> The mission of YES is to advance and support youth in educational breakthroughs in life development and other activities focusing and envisioning a community where all young people have the opportunities and the access to education, without restrictions from race or socioeconomic status.

So it may boil down to whoever&#039;s acount we use to stream it, if we can&#039;t find a good download.<br /> * No blocks, just uncomfortable silence<br /> <br /> ===Research film night===<br /> Survey people to understand how they find out about film nights:<br /> * FB<br /> * flyers<br /> * Indybay<br /> * Omni calendar<br /> * MOCMADA<br /> * LLC Announce list<br /> * an LLC member?<br /> * Another event website<br /> * What days would work best for them?<br /> * What kinds of films are they interested in?<br /> <br /> ===Other suggestions===<br /> Women&#039;s films:<br /> * womeninfilm.org has a list of 52 films by women<br /> * http://cinema-fanatic.com/2015/08/22/a-year-with-women-103-essential-films-by-female-filmmakers/<br /> * http://gowatchit.com/channels/52-films-by-women<br /> * http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/female-directors-pick-their-favorite-films-made-by-women-20150709<br /> * http://lwlies.com/articles/100-great-movies-by-female-directors-part-1/<br /> * Fundi: The Story of Ella Baker. Icarus Films sells the DVD and indefinite distribution rights for $348, but they also do rentals. Liz emailed them to ask about their rates because they have a lot of other interesting films in their collection. Fundi is also available at UC Berkeley but it may not be removed from the premises. :P<br /> * Anna Mae Aquash: documentary about her murder and the corruption between Hollywood and the American Indian movement. May need more research<br /> * 3 Laura Poitras films: Citizen Four, &lt;two other films&gt;<br /> * Biography of Rosa Luxembourg<br /> * A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<br /> * Persepolis<br /> * Black Girl<br /> * Doc on Fanny Lou Hamer<br /> * Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo - Argentinian mothers looking for their disappeared sons<br /> * Free Angela Davis<br /> <br /> Other films:<br /> * Marcus garvey film<br /> * Winter on Fire, suggested by a film night attendee (Netflix Original, also nominated for Academy Award)<br /> * Bandit Queen - women in India (directed by a man)<br /> <br /> TBD: When Justice Isn&#039;t Just<br /> *Shirah will let us know when the director is in town so he can attend<br /> <br /> TBD: The Waiting Room<br /> * Bryan wrote to the director, he&#039;s asking us to set a date<br /> <br /> TBD: Occupy The Farm<br /> * Director has asked for a springtime showing<br /> <br /> TBD: First Friday<br /> * Bryan knows the director N&#039;jeri, he&#039;ll reach out to her<br /> <br /> ==Seeds of Struggle==<br /> Reportback for visioning session Friday (2/26) at 7pm:<br /> Next steps:<br /> * Filming at Mandela Foods this Monday, 2/29, 5-7pm - Food Demos<br /> * Moving forward on a Growing/Production short.<br /> * Reviewing transcripts &amp; scenes.<br /> **Bryan will print transcripts.<br /> **Reviewing scenes next Friday @ 7pm.<br /> <br /> Reportback: promo for Freedom Farmer&#039;s Market:<br /> * Emailed interested members, Kwaku will .zip and send photos, Dennis has a CD of photos, look for Gerald&#039;s footage, ask for Dre&#039;s interview footage?<br /> * Gail&#039;s email addressed bounced, so there has been no communication with her yet.<br /> <br /> Reportback, Rhythms of the Land:<br /> * No contact with Gail yet. Phone number: (415)374-0608<br /> <br /> ==Internal operations==<br /> ===Level up to Ticket Booth room?===<br /> Let&#039;s take a look at it. I think at $130-$150/mo (depending on square footage calculations) would be a fair offer. Do people think we can make that?<br /> * Might need to ask for membership fees again, but not much<br /> * People like the room, we could use the extra space<br /> * Liz will draft a proposal for Omni<br /> <br /> ===Birdhouse Omni fair booth===<br /> Ideas?<br /> * Liz would like to open up the broken GL2 so people can see how a digital camera works. Also a busted lens in the room we can display, also would like to print out this Wiki image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera#/media/File:E-30-Cutmodel.jpg . Other educational stuff as well?<br /> * Screen our work at a little viewing station<br /> <br /> ===Administrative stuff===<br /> (Liz writing here)<br /> <br /> I&#039;m working on something like a guidebook for running Liberated Lens (a directory of our internet accounts and login information, checklists for film nights, things we&#039;ve learned that we could pass on to future members). This book would be made available only to people who are trusted with administrative access to our accounts and finances. I was thinking I would print it out and keep it in a lockbox, and core organizers would get keys. Does that seem secure enough?<br /> <br /> I also made a new, simpler equipment checkout form. [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/116dPvQxOxOuhICL-Yz9bl-_Hi0X1SPGEq033UyFQcgc/edit?usp=sharing ] It&#039;s very straightforward, and I would like for us all to get in the habit of using the forms to keep track of equipment. For how informal we&#039;ve been about taking out gear, we&#039;ve been lucky to have very minimal loss or damage (like the back of the zoom recorder or the screws on the LED panel barndoors). But as we grow our equipment library it will be necessary to be more attentive.<br /> <br /> ===Interpersonal stuff===<br /> Defining acceptable use of the LLC suite:<br /> * Napping is understandable, but we cannot permit overnight sleeping. We need to talk about this (again) as a group because it presents a breach of trust between our members, and between LLC and other Omni collectives.<br /> * The crow&#039;s nest has no formal designated use; however, it is not appropriate for Liberated Lens members to annex that space for personal or collective use. If we want to expand our square footage, we need to go through the same process as everyone else who requests space in the Omni. <br /> <br /> Idea of a social contract/membership agreement?<br /> * I just went through this process with Buried Seeds to become a partner in their organization. I thought it was good for us to declare our interests and refine our intentions, and have everything written down so that we are accountable for our own social contract. We also clearly defined our roles in the group so there would be no confusion or diffusion of responsibility.<br /> <br /> ===Workshops and equipment===<br /> Next budget/workshop meeting: Before Sunday meeting, at 5pm<br /> * Kwaku, Gerald, Angel, Brian, Dennis, Anka, Liz, Josh<br /> To discuss at that meeting -<br /> * Liz has been researching equipment again, starting a fourth draft of a budget here: [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0badoGK9nqwJLwG9v-2o3Uz2CM2zIgAkaRzDJp-09c/edit?usp=sharing ]<br /> * How to get equipment donated, discounted from sellers (Shirah&#039;s email)<br /> **Brainstorm other approaches to giving the workshops<br /> **Look up places we could advertise. See google doc: [ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TSC3ZiPJtGA8CfRnCLvxRmRwkhfy2WIXVe6kOVCQ8NY/edit ]<br /> **Research other film courses and see what they offer, what we could offer that&#039;s different<br /> *** BAVC<br /> *** Berkeley Community Media<br /> *** Bryan Gibel&#039;s classes<br /> *** OWH Studio is looking for volunteers <br /> <br /> ===Planning ahead===<br /> Ongoing contingency plan for Omni fallout:<br /> *Rent a garage somewhere?<br /> *Berkeley spot? ask Gerald<br /> *Team up with other displaced Omni collectives<br /> *Look at other venues to screen in (Rev Cafe, Starry Plough)<br /> <br /> ===Finances===<br /> * Cash box: $469.36<br /> * Savings: $90.01<br /> * Checking: $4,570.30<br /> <br /> ==Action items==<br /> √ Flyers for What Happened Miss Simone? ready by this Tuesday (Anka)<br /> ** √ FB, Omni calendar (Anka, Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Ukraine guy (Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Occupy director, screening in April (Liz)<br /> * Waiting Room director, screening in April (Bryan)<br /> * Finish Gail transcript<br /> * update Patxu OS (Liz)<br /> * Call Gail about trailer, promo (Liz)<br /> * Gather FFM photos: √ Kwaku .zip, Dennis inquire about CD, look for Gerald footage, Dre have interview?<br /> √ Proposal to Omni (Liz)<br /> * Friday Nights at 7pm: SOS work<br /> * Sunday meetings at 5pm: discuss equipment and workshops<br /> * Get a working printer by any means necessary... &gt;_&gt;</div>

<p>Liberated Lens admin: </p> <hr /> <div>[[LLC Notes Archive | &lt;- Back to archive]]<br /> =Sunday Feb 27th=<br /> <br /> ==Attendees==<br /> * Kwaku<br /> * Dennis<br /> * Dre<br /> * Bryan<br /> * Anka<br /> * Liz<br /> <br /> ==Announcements and cool stuff==<br /> * Kwaku is going to San Diego next week. Cool!<br /> * We&#039;ll have more information about the shooting after the neighborhood meeting tonight<br /> * Fill out the when2meet page!<br /> <br /> ==Film nights==<br /> Feb. 23rd: Skin. Reportback:<br /> * ≈15 non-LLC attendees<br /> * $44 in donations<br /> * Discussion afterwards was a bit unfocused, and the mic was handed to a man who didn&#039;t attend the screening and only used the opportunity to soapbox. Let&#039;s not do that to our audience next time.<br /> ** Prepare discussion questions ahead of film night: What understanding do we want people to leave with? What prompts can we offer to help them get there?<br /> ** Bench arrangement is not conducive to group discussion; maybe have a circle of chairs for people to move into?<br /> <br /> Next film night, March 8th: What Happened Miss Simone?<br /> * Research about legal issues: No evidence of Netflix pursuing infringers, but they will terminate the account of any subscriber who is in violation of their contract. So it may boil down to whoever&#039;s acount we use to stream it, if we can&#039;t find a good download.<br /> * No blocks, just uncomfortable silence<br /> <br /> ===Research film night===<br /> Survey people to understand how they find out about film nights:<br /> * FB<br /> * flyers<br /> * Indybay<br /> * Omni calendar<br /> * MOCMADA<br /> * LLC Announce list<br /> * an LLC member?<br /> * Another event website<br /> * What days would work best for them?<br /> * What kinds of films are they interested in?<br /> <br /> ===Other suggestions===<br /> Women&#039;s films:<br /> * womeninfilm.org has a list of 52 films by women<br /> * http://cinema-fanatic.com/2015/08/22/a-year-with-women-103-essential-films-by-female-filmmakers/<br /> * http://gowatchit.com/channels/52-films-by-women<br /> * http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/female-directors-pick-their-favorite-films-made-by-women-20150709<br /> * http://lwlies.com/articles/100-great-movies-by-female-directors-part-1/<br /> * Fundi: The Story of Ella Baker. Icarus Films sells the DVD and indefinite distribution rights for $348, but they also do rentals. Liz emailed them to ask about their rates because they have a lot of other interesting films in their collection. Fundi is also available at UC Berkeley but it may not be removed from the premises. :P<br /> * Anna Mae Aquash: documentary about her murder and the corruption between Hollywood and the American Indian movement. May need more research<br /> * 3 Laura Poitras films: Citizen Four, &lt;two other films&gt;<br /> * Biography of Rosa Luxembourg<br /> * A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<br /> * Persepolis<br /> * Black Girl<br /> * Doc on Fanny Lou Hamer<br /> * Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo - Argentinian mothers looking for their disappeared sons<br /> * Free Angela Davis<br /> <br /> Other films:<br /> * Marcus garvey film<br /> * Winter on Fire, suggested by a film night attendee (Netflix Original, also nominated for Academy Award)<br /> * Bandit Queen - women in India (directed by a man)<br /> <br /> TBD: When Justice Isn&#039;t Just<br /> *Shirah will let us know when the director is in town so he can attend<br /> <br /> TBD: The Waiting Room<br /> * Bryan wrote to the director, he&#039;s asking us to set a date<br /> <br /> TBD: Occupy The Farm<br /> * Director has asked for a springtime showing<br /> <br /> TBD: First Friday<br /> * Bryan knows the director N&#039;jeri, he&#039;ll reach out to her<br /> <br /> ==Seeds of Struggle==<br /> Reportback for visioning session Friday (2/26) at 7pm:<br /> Next steps:<br /> * Filming at Mandela Foods this Monday, 2/29, 5-7pm - Food Demos<br /> * Moving forward on a Growing/Production short.<br /> * Reviewing transcripts &amp; scenes.<br /> **Bryan will print transcripts.<br /> **Reviewing scenes next Friday @ 7pm.<br /> <br /> Reportback: promo for Freedom Farmer&#039;s Market:<br /> * Emailed interested members, Kwaku will .zip and send photos, Dennis has a CD of photos, look for Gerald&#039;s footage, ask for Dre&#039;s interview footage?<br /> * Gail&#039;s email addressed bounced, so there has been no communication with her yet.<br /> <br /> Reportback, Rhythms of the Land:<br /> * No contact with Gail yet. Phone number: (415)374-0608<br /> <br /> ==Internal operations==<br /> ===Level up to Ticket Booth room?===<br /> Let&#039;s take a look at it. I think at $130-$150/mo (depending on square footage calculations) would be a fair offer. Do people think we can make that?<br /> * Might need to ask for membership fees again, but not much<br /> * People like the room, we could use the extra space<br /> * Liz will draft a proposal for Omni<br /> <br /> ===Birdhouse Omni fair booth===<br /> Ideas?<br /> * Liz would like to open up the broken GL2 so people can see how a digital camera works. Also a busted lens in the room we can display, also would like to print out this Wiki image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera#/media/File:E-30-Cutmodel.jpg . Other educational stuff as well?<br /> * Screen our work at a little viewing station<br /> <br /> ===Administrative stuff===<br /> (Liz writing here)<br /> <br /> I&#039;m working on something like a guidebook for running Liberated Lens (a directory of our internet accounts and login information, checklists for film nights, things we&#039;ve learned that we could pass on to future members). This book would be made available only to people who are trusted with administrative access to our accounts and finances. I was thinking I would print it out and keep it in a lockbox, and core organizers would get keys. Does that seem secure enough?<br /> <br /> I also made a new, simpler equipment checkout form. [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/116dPvQxOxOuhICL-Yz9bl-_Hi0X1SPGEq033UyFQcgc/edit?usp=sharing ] It&#039;s very straightforward, and I would like for us all to get in the habit of using the forms to keep track of equipment. For how informal we&#039;ve been about taking out gear, we&#039;ve been lucky to have very minimal loss or damage (like the back of the zoom recorder or the screws on the LED panel barndoors). But as we grow our equipment library it will be necessary to be more attentive.<br /> <br /> ===Interpersonal stuff===<br /> Defining acceptable use of the LLC suite:<br /> * Napping is understandable, but we cannot permit overnight sleeping. We need to talk about this (again) as a group because it presents a breach of trust between our members, and between LLC and other Omni collectives.<br /> * The crow&#039;s nest has no formal designated use; however, it is not appropriate for Liberated Lens members to annex that space for personal or collective use. If we want to expand our square footage, we need to go through the same process as everyone else who requests space in the Omni. <br /> <br /> Idea of a social contract/membership agreement?<br /> * I just went through this process with Buried Seeds to become a partner in their organization. I thought it was good for us to declare our interests and refine our intentions, and have everything written down so that we are accountable for our own social contract. We also clearly defined our roles in the group so there would be no confusion or diffusion of responsibility.<br /> <br /> ===Workshops and equipment===<br /> Next budget/workshop meeting: Before Sunday meeting, at 5pm<br /> * Kwaku, Gerald, Angel, Brian, Dennis, Anka, Liz, Josh<br /> To discuss at that meeting -<br /> * Liz has been researching equipment again, starting a fourth draft of a budget here: [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0badoGK9nqwJLwG9v-2o3Uz2CM2zIgAkaRzDJp-09c/edit?usp=sharing ]<br /> * How to get equipment donated, discounted from sellers (Shirah&#039;s email)<br /> **Brainstorm other approaches to giving the workshops<br /> **Look up places we could advertise. See google doc: [ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TSC3ZiPJtGA8CfRnCLvxRmRwkhfy2WIXVe6kOVCQ8NY/edit ]<br /> **Research other film courses and see what they offer, what we could offer that&#039;s different<br /> *** BAVC<br /> *** Berkeley Community Media<br /> *** Bryan Gibel&#039;s classes<br /> *** OWH Studio is looking for volunteers <br /> <br /> ===Planning ahead===<br /> Ongoing contingency plan for Omni fallout:<br /> *Rent a garage somewhere?<br /> *Berkeley spot? ask Gerald<br /> *Team up with other displaced Omni collectives<br /> *Look at other venues to screen in (Rev Cafe, Starry Plough)<br /> <br /> ===Finances===<br /> * Cash box: $469.36<br /> * Savings: $90.01<br /> * Checking: $4,570.30<br /> <br /> ==Action items==<br /> √ Flyers for What Happened Miss Simone? ready by this Tuesday (Anka)<br /> ** √ FB, Omni calendar (Anka, Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Ukraine guy (Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Occupy director, screening in April (Liz)<br /> * Waiting Room director, screening in April (Bryan)<br /> * Finish Gail transcript<br /> * update Patxu OS (Liz)<br /> * Call Gail about trailer, promo (Liz)<br /> * Gather FFM photos: √ Kwaku .zip, Dennis inquire about CD, look for Gerald footage, Dre have interview?<br /> √ Proposal to Omni (Liz)<br /> * Friday Nights at 7pm: SOS work<br /> * Sunday meetings at 5pm: discuss equipment and workshops<br /> * Get a working printer by any means necessary... &gt;_&gt;</div>

Reportback:<br /> * ≈15 non-LLC attendees<br /> * $44 in donations<br /> * Discussion afterwards was a bit unfocused, and the mic was handed to a man who didn&#039;t attend the screening and only used the opportunity to soapbox. Let&#039;s not do that to our audience next time.<br /> ** Prepare discussion questions ahead of film night: What understanding do we want people to leave with? What prompts can we offer to help them get there?<br /> ** Bench arrangement is not conducive to group discussion; maybe have a circle of chairs for people to move into?<br /> <br /> Next film night, March 8th: What Happened Miss Simone?<br /> * Research about legal issues: No evidence of Netflix pursuing infringers, but they will terminate the account of any subscriber who is in violation of their contract. So it may boil down to whoever&#039;s acount we use to stream it, if we can&#039;t find a good download.<br /> * No blocks, just uncomfortable silence<br /> <br /> ===Research film night===<br /> Survey people to understand how they find out about film nights:<br /> * FB<br /> * flyers<br /> * Indybay<br /> * Omni calendar<br /> * MOCMADA<br /> * LLC Announce list<br /> * an LLC member?<br /> * Another event website<br /> * What days would work best for them?<br /> * What kinds of films are they interested in?<br /> <br /> ===Other suggestions===<br /> Women&#039;s films:<br /> * womeninfilm.org has a list of 52 films by women<br /> * http://cinema-fanatic.com/2015/08/22/a-year-with-women-103-essential-films-by-female-filmmakers/<br /> * http://gowatchit.com/channels/52-films-by-women<br /> * http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/female-directors-pick-their-favorite-films-made-by-women-20150709<br /> * http://lwlies.com/articles/100-great-movies-by-female-directors-part-1/<br /> * Fundi: The Story of Ella Baker. Icarus Films sells the DVD and indefinite distribution rights for $348, but they also do rentals. Liz emailed them to ask about their rates because they have a lot of other interesting films in their collection. Fundi is also available at UC Berkeley but it may not be removed from the premises. :P<br /> * Anna Mae Aquash: documentary about her murder and the corruption between Hollywood and the American Indian movement. May need more research<br /> * 3 Laura Poitras films: Citizen Four, &lt;two other films&gt;<br /> * Biography of Rosa Luxembourg<br /> * A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<br /> * Persepolis<br /> * Black Girl<br /> * Doc on Fanny Lou Hamer<br /> * Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo - Argentinian mothers looking for their disappeared sons<br /> * Free Angela Davis<br /> <br /> Other films:<br /> * Marcus garvey film<br /> * Winter on Fire, suggested by a film night attendee (Netflix Original, also nominated for Academy Award)<br /> * Bandit Queen - women in India (directed by a man)<br /> <br /> TBD: When Justice Isn&#039;t Just<br /> *Shirah will let us know when the director is in town so he can attend<br /> <br /> TBD: The Waiting Room<br /> * Bryan wrote to the director, he&#039;s asking us to set a date<br /> <br /> TBD: Occupy The Farm<br /> * Director has asked for a springtime showing<br /> <br /> TBD: First Friday<br /> * Bryan knows the director N&#039;jeri, he&#039;ll reach out to her<br /> <br /> ==Seeds of Struggle==<br /> Reportback for visioning session Friday (2/26) at 7pm:<br /> Next steps:<br /> * Filming at Mandela Foods this Monday, 2/29, 5-7pm - Food Demos<br /> * Moving forward on a Growing/Production short.<br /> * Reviewing transcripts &amp; scenes.<br /> **Bryan will print transcripts.<br /> **Reviewing scenes next Friday @ 7pm.<br /> <br /> Reportback: promo for Freedom Farmer&#039;s Market:<br /> * Emailed interested members, Kwaku will .zip and send photos, Dennis has a CD of photos, look for Gerald&#039;s footage, ask for Dre&#039;s interview footage?<br /> * Gail&#039;s email addressed bounced, so there has been no communication with her yet.<br /> <br /> Reportback, Rhythms of the Land:<br /> * No contact with Gail yet. Phone number: (415)374-0608<br /> <br /> ==Internal operations==<br /> ===Level up to Ticket Booth room?===<br /> Let&#039;s take a look at it. I think at $130-$150/mo (depending on square footage calculations) would be a fair offer. Do people think we can make that?<br /> * Might need to ask for membership fees again, but not much<br /> * People like the room, we could use the extra space<br /> * Liz will draft a proposal for Omni<br /> <br /> ===Birdhouse Omni fair booth===<br /> Ideas?<br /> * Liz would like to open up the broken GL2 so people can see how a digital camera works. Also a busted lens in the room we can display, also would like to print out this Wiki image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera#/media/File:E-30-Cutmodel.jpg . Other educational stuff as well?<br /> * Screen our work at a little viewing station<br /> <br /> ===Administrative stuff===<br /> (Liz writing here)<br /> <br /> I&#039;m working on something like a guidebook for running Liberated Lens (a directory of our internet accounts and login information, checklists for film nights, things we&#039;ve learned that we could pass on to future members). This book would be made available only to people who are trusted with administrative access to our accounts and finances. I was thinking I would print it out and keep it in a lockbox, and core organizers would get keys. Does that seem secure enough?<br /> <br /> I also made a new, simpler equipment checkout form. [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/116dPvQxOxOuhICL-Yz9bl-_Hi0X1SPGEq033UyFQcgc/edit?usp=sharing ] It&#039;s very straightforward, and I would like for us all to get in the habit of using the forms to keep track of equipment. For how informal we&#039;ve been about taking out gear, we&#039;ve been lucky to have very minimal loss or damage (like the back of the zoom recorder or the screws on the LED panel barndoors). But as we grow our equipment library it will be necessary to be more attentive.<br /> <br /> ===Interpersonal stuff===<br /> Defining acceptable use of the LLC suite:<br /> * Napping is understandable, but we cannot permit overnight sleeping. We need to talk about this (again) as a group because it presents a breach of trust between our members, and between LLC and other Omni collectives.<br /> * The crow&#039;s nest has no formal designated use; however, it is not appropriate for Liberated Lens members to annex that space for personal or collective use. If we want to expand our square footage, we need to go through the same process as everyone else who requests space in the Omni. <br /> <br /> Idea of a social contract/membership agreement?<br /> * I just went through this process with Buried Seeds to become a partner in their organization. I thought it was good for us to declare our interests and refine our intentions, and have everything written down so that we are accountable for our own social contract. We also clearly defined our roles in the group so there would be no confusion or diffusion of responsibility.<br /> <br /> ===Workshops and equipment===<br /> Next budget/workshop meeting: Before Sunday meeting, at 5pm<br /> * Kwaku, Gerald, Angel, Brian, Dennis, Anka, Liz, Josh<br /> To discuss at that meeting -<br /> * Liz has been researching equipment again, starting a fourth draft of a budget here: [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0badoGK9nqwJLwG9v-2o3Uz2CM2zIgAkaRzDJp-09c/edit?usp=sharing ]<br /> * How to get equipment donated, discounted from sellers (Shirah&#039;s email)<br /> **Brainstorm other approaches to giving the workshops<br /> **Look up places we could advertise. See google doc: [ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TSC3ZiPJtGA8CfRnCLvxRmRwkhfy2WIXVe6kOVCQ8NY/edit ]<br /> **Research other film courses and see what they offer, what we could offer that&#039;s different<br /> *** BAVC<br /> *** Berkeley Community Media<br /> *** Bryan Gibel&#039;s classes<br /> *** OWH Studio is looking for volunteers <br /> <br /> ===Planning ahead===<br /> Ongoing contingency plan for Omni fallout:<br /> *Rent a garage somewhere?<br /> *Berkeley spot? ask Gerald<br /> *Team up with other displaced Omni collectives<br /> *Look at other venues to screen in (Rev Cafe, Starry Plough)<br /> <br /> ===Finances===<br /> * Cash box: $469.36<br /> * Savings: $90.01<br /> * Checking: $4,570.30<br /> <br /> ==Action items==<br /> √ Flyers for What Happened Miss Simone? ready by this Tuesday (Anka)<br /> ** FB, Omni calendar (Anka, Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Ukraine guy (Liz)<br /> √ Respond to Occupy director, screening in April (Liz)<br /> * Waiting Room director, screening in April (Bryan)<br /> * Call Ella Baker center for Fundi (Dennis)<br /> * Call Stanford, UC Berkeley about Fundi (Gerald)<br /> * Finish Gail transcript<br /> * update Patxu OS (Liz)<br /> * Call Gail about trailer, promo (Liz)<br /> * Gather FFM photos: Kwaku .zip, Dennis inquire about CD, look for Gerald footage, Dre have interview?<br /> √ Proposal to Omni (Liz)<br /> * Friday Nights at 7pm: SOS work<br /> * Sunday meetings at 5pm: discuss equipment and workshops<br /> * Get a working printer by any means necessary... &gt;_&gt;</div>

<p>Liberated Lens admin: </p> <hr /> <div>Liberated Lens Collective is a community media project based in Oakland, California. We share resources, skills and knowledge to tell stories that might otherwise remain untold. We believe that story telling belongs to everyone. We do not depend on mainstream media or an expensive film school: we empower ourselves to make our own images!<br /> <br /> We learn by doing. We teach eachother. We work horizontally, and operate by consensus. We make films in a spirit of collaboration, inclusivity and solidarity, maintain a film equipment library for creative projects, organize free, at cost or donation-based workshops, and host film screenings. <br /> In May 2015 we organized the [[FTP Short Film Festival|Films 2 The People Short Film Festival]].<br /> <br /> To contact us, write to: <br /> Liberated_Lens@lists.riseup.net<br /> <br /> To be updated about what we do, join our announce mailing list: <br /> Liberated_Lens.announce@lists.riseup.net<br /> <br /> To get involved, come to our meetings on Sundays, 7pm at the Omni Commons!

<p>Liberated Lens admin: </p> <hr /> <div>[[LLC Notes Archive | &lt;- Back to archive]]<br /> =Sunday Feb 21th=<br /> SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT<br /> <br /> ==Attendees==<br /> * Gerald<br /> * Dennis<br /> * Kwaku<br /> * Liz<br /> * Anka<br /> * Angel<br /> * Josh<br /> * Shirah<br /> * Bryan<br /> <br /> ==Announcements and cool stuff==<br /> ===Gunshots on Shattuck last night===<br /> First of all, here is the official communiqué to the neighbors about the incident last night:<br /> <br /> Hi all, We are writing to inform everyone that at approximately 11pm Saturday 2/20, shots were fired at the intersection of 48th &amp; Shattuck, outside of the Omni Commons community resource center. As far as we know at this time, no one was struck, but at least one car on the corner was hit. The incident occurred at the end of an alcohol-free, family-run birthday party hosted in our community ballroom. There was no violence at the event itself or inside the building, and security personnel were present. As a community center established for the purpose of uniting Temescal and Oakland at large, we are committed to the safety and well-being of our community and our neighborhood. To this end we&#039;d like to hold a neighborhood meeting to discuss issues of safety in the community, on Sunday 2/28, at 7pm in our ballroom at 4799 Shattuck Ave. In the interim, if anyone has any questions or concerns, please reach out to: neighbors@omnicommons.org<br /> <br /> ===Some emails that need responding to===<br /> Hey all! My name is Emilytricia and I am a coordinator at H.O.M.E.Y. (Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth). I just realized that we are both screening Black Power mixtape but about 2 weeks apart. Our youth chose to do this movie not only in honor of black history month, but to help them fund-raise for their first ever snowboarding trip. Luckily SkiDuck is an organization that focuses on providing the snowboarding experience for free to low-income and at risk youth. I was wondering if you could show us some support on your event page and share our event so that those that are not able to attend your event could come support the youth. We would love to do the same, despite the short notice and coming across your event tonight. Here is our event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1055742437797261/ Just an fyi we have to raise about $1000 more to help us cover the lodging, transportation, and food costs.<br /> <br /> Response?<br /> * They seem legit. Jenny already added it to our event page, let&#039;s add it to the .announce email. Perhaps there will be opportunity for collaboration later.<br /> <br /> Hey film folks! Some Omni volunteers met with the new director of the Temescal BID the other week, and she mentioned that they&#039;re looking for someone(s) to take over organizing for the annual Temescal Street Cinema this summer. Is this something folks in Liberated Lens might be interested in doing? http://www.temescalstreetcinema.com/ Let me know and I can put you in touch with Shifra &lt;3 Jenny<br /> <br /> Response?<br /> * Big responsibility, but also opportinity for development and meeting neighbors.<br /> * Lead up to our FTP festival?<br /> * It would be cool but a lot of work<br /> * Get our name out further and expand our audience<br /> * We might get a budget for it<br /> * We have to be realistic.

If it&#039;s just for promoting Temescal businesses, she&#039;s not interested. We could change the direction of the festival<br /> <br /> We can still email them and get more information. Questions to ask:<br /> * Permitting issues?<br /> * Do we get a budget?<br /> * Are there sponsors? Who finds them?<br /> * Communication lines for promotion?<br /> * Who determines the programming? Can we change the focus?<br /> * Can we use it to promote and raise funds for Liberated Lens?<br /> <br /> ==Film nights==<br /> Look into incorporating other arts, like live music, art showings.<br /> <br /> Reportback on Feb 16th: Black Power Mixtape. <br /> * ≈30 non-LLC folks attended<br /> * $103.80 in donations<br /> * ≈10 sign-ups for the .announce list<br /> * Kwaku and Dre facilitated some discussion afterwards<br /> * We talked about showing Dennis&#039; interview but on second thought, we&#039;d like to finesse it some more with b-roll, music<br /> <br /> Feb. 23rd: Skin.

<p>Liberated Lens admin: Created page with &quot;=Sunday Feb 21th= SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT ==Attendees== * Gerald * Dennis * Kwaku * Liz * Anka * Angel * Dre * Josh * Shirah * Bryan ==Announcements and cool stuff== ===Gunsho...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>=Sunday Feb 21th=<br /> SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT<br /> <br /> ==Attendees==<br /> * Gerald<br /> * Dennis<br /> * Kwaku<br /> * Liz<br /> * Anka<br /> * Angel<br /> * Dre<br /> * Josh<br /> * Shirah<br /> * Bryan<br /> <br /> ==Announcements and cool stuff==<br /> ===Gunshots on Shattuck last night===<br /> First of all, here is the official communiqué to the neighbors about the incident last night:<br /> <br /> Hi all, We are writing to inform everyone that at approximately 11pm Saturday 2/20, shots were fired at the intersection of 48th &amp; Shattuck, outside of the Omni Commons community resource center. As far as we know at this time, no one was struck, but at least one car on the corner was hit. The incident occurred at the end of an alcohol-free, family-run birthday party hosted in our community ballroom. There was no violence at the event itself or inside the building, and security personnel were present. As a community center established for the purpose of uniting Temescal and Oakland at large, we are committed to the safety and well-being of our community and our neighborhood. To this end we&#039;d like to hold a neighborhood meeting to discuss issues of safety in the community, on Sunday 2/28, at 7pm in our ballroom at 4799 Shattuck Ave. In the interim, if anyone has any questions or concerns, please reach out to: neighbors@omnicommons.org<br /> <br /> ===Some emails that need responding to===<br /> Hey all! My name is Emilytricia and I am a coordinator at H.O.M.E.Y. (Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth). I just realized that we are both screening Black Power mixtape but about 2 weeks apart. Our youth chose to do this movie not only in honor of black history month, but to help them fund-raise for their first ever snowboarding trip. Luckily SkiDuck is an organization that focuses on providing the snowboarding experience for free to low-income and at risk youth. I was wondering if you could show us some support on your event page and share our event so that those that are not able to attend your event could come support the youth. We would love to do the same, despite the short notice and coming across your event tonight. Here is our event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1055742437797261/ Just an fyi we have to raise about $1000 more to help us cover the lodging, transportation, and food costs.<br /> <br /> Response?<br /> * They seem legit. Jenny already added it to our event page, let&#039;s add it to the .announce email. Perhaps there will be opportunity for collaboration later.<br /> <br /> Hey film folks! Some Omni volunteers met with the new director of the Temescal BID the other week, and she mentioned that they&#039;re looking for someone(s) to take over organizing for the annual Temescal Street Cinema this summer. Is this something folks in Liberated Lens might be interested in doing? http://www.temescalstreetcinema.com/ Let me know and I can put you in touch with Shifra &lt;3 Jenny<br /> <br /> Response?<br /> * Big responsibility, but also opportinity for development and meeting neighbors.<br /> * Lead up to our FTP festival?<br /> * It would be cool but a lot of work<br /> * Get our name out further and expand our audience<br /> * We might get a budget for it<br /> * We have to be realistic. Logistically, may not be a good time<br /> * If we can&#039;t fully commit as a group, do we know any other people who could help handle the work load?<br /> ** Shirah does, but she needs more information<br /> * Does this pertain to our mission statement?<br /> ** Taking over a street to show movies seems up our alley<br /> * Anka attended a few years ago, was not impressed by the lineup. If it&#039;s just for promoting Temescal businesses, she&#039;s not interested. We could change the direction of the festival<br /> <br /> We can still email them and get more information. Questions to ask:<br /> * Permitting issues?<br /> * Do we get a budget?<br /> * Are there sponsors? Who finds them?<br /> * Communication lines for promotion?<br /> * Who determines the programming? Can we change the focus?<br /> * Can we use it to promote and raise funds for Liberated Lens?<br /> <br /> ==Film nights==<br /> Look into incorporating other arts, like live music, art showings.<br /> <br /> Reportback on Feb 16th: Black Power Mixtape. <br /> * ≈30 non-LLC folks attended<br /> * $103.80 in donations<br /> * ≈10 sign-ups for the .announce list<br /> * Kwaku and Dre facilitated some discussion afterwards<br /> * We talked about showing Dennis&#039; interview but on second thought, we&#039;d like to finesse it some more with b-roll, music<br /> <br /> Feb. 23rd: Skin. Who can attend?<br /> * Set-up at 5:30: Liz, Angel, Gerald, Anka<br /> * Foodstuffs: No food<br /> * Clean-up: Bryan,<br /> * Lead discussion? Kwaku<br /> ** Lets get the wireless mic going then<br /> * Bring in music? -(Dre)<br /> <br /> Next month: Films by women<br /> * What Happened Miss Simone? We need to get a copy, or stream it. Ramifications of screening a Netflix special at a public event? Risk of pissing off Netflix?<br /> * Consensus: no blocks! Let&#039;s show it<br /> <br /> <br /> Other suggestions for later:<br /> * womeninfilm.org has a list of 52 films by women<br /> * Fundi was suggested. Here is a description: <br /> FUNDI: THE STORY OF ELLA BAKER reveals the instrumental role that Ella Baker, a friend and advisor to Martin Luther King, played in shaping the American civil rights movement. The dynamic activist was affectionately known as the Fundi, a Swahili word for a person who passes skills from one generation to another. By looking at the 1960s from the perspective of Baker, the &quot;godmother of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,&quot; FUNDI adds an essential understanding of the U.S. civil rights movement. [ http://icarusfilms.com/cat97/f-j/fundi45.html ]<br /> * Anna Mae Aquash: documentary about her murder and the corruption between Hollywood and the American Indian movement. May need more research<br /> * 3 Laura Poitras films: Citizen Four, &lt;two other films&gt;<br /> * Biography of Rosa Luxembourg<br /> * A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<br /> * Persepolis<br /> <br /> Other suggestions by audience members:<br /> * Marcus garvey film<br /> * Winter on Fire<br /> <br /> TBD: When Justice Isn&#039;t Just<br /> *Shirah will let us know when the director is in town so he can attend<br /> <br /> TBD: The Waiting Room<br /> * Bryan will let us know when the director is available, sometime in March or April<br /> <br /> ==Liberty Hall==<br /> Reportback on their open house yesterday:<br /> * Gerald and Liz attended<br /> * They have a top-notch studio: estimated $5 million in mostly new gear that got donated to them. You won&#039;t find a setup like this outside of a mainstream television station. It&#039;s a very special resource<br /> * They are looking for more volunteers and knowledgable film-folks<br /> * Recommend that we organize a field trip to meet them, see the place, think about ways to collaborate<br /> ** PICK A DAY: when2meet.com<br /> <br /> ==Seeds of Struggle==<br /> Gail&#039;s request: an edited promo piece (00:30 to 01:00) for Freedom Farmer&#039;s Market. Does anyone have the time or interest to volunteer?<br /> * We have her interview, we can use that to storyboard some b-roll to grab at a farmer&#039;s market.<br /> * It would be good practice!<br /> * Kwaku would like to be involved<br /> * We have some photos, Liz will edit in AFX<br /> ** Email: Anka, Kwaku, Gerald, Liz (add Dennis)<br /> <br /> She also needs a trailer cut for her film, Rhythms of the Land.<br /> * Gerald: We should jump at opportunities to work with local artists. I would certainly like to help with that.<br /> * Anka: Trailers are a lot of work. It&#039;d be great to work<br /> * Kwaku: I would like to learn how to edit a trailer, and this is a good project to start on.<br /> * When to work: Ask for Gail&#039;s availability, we need to work with her on the footage. email: jpmyers@farmstogrow.com<br /> ** We also need to set a deadline<br /> <br /> Next brainstorming session: Set a regular schedule - Friday nights 7pm. Followed by Karaoke!!<br /> Discuss crafting the story - Input from Shirah:<br /> * Hey guys are we going to put something on the calendar for sitting down and hatching out the structure of the story and what information we hope to cull from the interviews?<br /> * Additionally, I think in terms of focusing on the struggle of the bay area black food movement itself (as Dennis mentioned last week), some interesting people to interview would be Policylink&#039;s founder, Angela Glover Blackwell, and to discuss how to build a movement would be Alicia Garza, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter.<br /> <br /> Reportback from editing &amp; visioning session last Monday (Feb. 13):<br /> * Liz, Dennis, Josh, Bryan attended.<br /> * We re-ordered Mr. Scott&#039;s interview, trying to create a narrative that flows<br /> * Bryan recommended a book called Documentary Storytelling: Creative Nonfiction on Screen, by Sheila Curran Bernard. It looked really good!<br /> * Liz did some more technical fudging. Everything is now consolidated into one project file. <br /> * We might want to re-do several sequences that were created in the wrong video resolution (they are 1440x1080 instead of 1920x1080, which means they&#039;re being cropped and they will require extra rendering when we drop them into other sequences of the proper resolution)<br /> <br /> * Note to any editors: I&#039;m not sure that nesting the synchronized sequences is what we want to do. For now I would recommend syncing and editing for content within the same sequence.<br /> <br /> ==Internal operations==<br /> ===Workshops and equipment===<br /> Next budget/workshop meeting: Before Sunday meeting, at 5pm<br /> * Kwaku, Gerald, Angel, Brian, Dennis, Anka, Liz, Josh<br /> To discuss at that meeting -<br /> * Liz has been researching equipment again, starting a fourth draft of a budget here: [ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0badoGK9nqwJLwG9v-2o3Uz2CM2zIgAkaRzDJp-09c/edit?usp=sharing ]<br /> * How to get equipment donated, discounted from sellers<br /> **Brainstorm other approaches to giving the workshops<br /> **Look up places we could advertise.

<p>Liberated Lens admin: </p> <hr /> <div>=One set of equal signs makes a large header=<br /> <br /> ==Two sets of equal signs makes a sub-header==<br /> <br /> ===Three sets of equal signs makes a topic header===<br /> <br /> * An asterisk makes bullet points<br /> <br /> If you put a space before a sentence, wiki puts your text in a little box like this. <br /> <br /> You will notice that when writing regular text, wiki doesn&#039;t acknowledge paragraph breaks unless you put a blank paragraph between them...<br /> <br /> ...Like the way this line is divided from the one above.<br /> <br /> If you were to only hit &quot;return&quot; once, like this -<br /> wiki puts everything in the same paragraph. Notes can get confusing pretty quickly this way.<br /> <br /> [[File:Smiley.png]] &lt;big&gt;Got all that so far?? Time for level 2!&lt;/big&gt;<br /> <br /> To insert a picture, first you have to upload the file. On the left of your screen, there&#039;s a navigational section called Tools, with a link that says &quot;Upload file&quot;. Go there and follow the instructions for uploading, and make note of the file name. To put the picture in your page at its original size, all you have to do is type, in double brackets, File:whatever_the_file_name_was.jpeg (or whatever the file type was). There are also two other options for displaying images described on the Upload page.<br /> <br /> If you want to link to an outside page, all you have to do is put the &#039;&#039;full&#039;&#039; URL. For example, http://noematic.space. If you want to give the hyperlink a different name, you put the full URL and the hyperlink name in square brackets, separated by a space. Example: [http://noematic.space Noemie&#039;s page]<br /> <br /> If you want to link to another page somewhere in this wiki, you use two square brackets and the complete name of the wiki page, and capitalization DOES matter! See how [[LLC Notes Archive]] takes you where you want to go, and [[LLC notes archive]] doesn&#039;t exist.<br /> <br /> By the way, that&#039;s all you have to do to create pages on wiki; &#039;&#039;make an interior link to a page that doesn&#039;t exist&#039;&#039;. Then you can go to that page and edit it. &#039;&#039;&#039;Be aware of how your website is structuring. You have to build in your own navigation.&#039;&#039;&#039; Personally, I like to put &quot;back&quot; links on each page, so it&#039;s easier for the user to navigate.<br /> <br /> Naming hyperlinks for interior wiki pages looks like this: [[LLC Notes Archive | &lt;- Back to archive]]</div>

Jan 24th 2016=<br /> <br /> ==Attendees==<br /> * Liz (remote)<br /> * Shilmat<br /> * Gerald<br /> * Josh<br /> * Dennis<br /> <br /> ==Announcements==<br /> * The Alt Ex event went well. We made a couple contacts, and set out flyers for our next few film nights, which several people were interested in attending. Let&#039;s make it good!<br /> <br /> * The Humanist Hall---Debate on Bernie Sanders February 5--possibly for documentation<br /> * February 6th Unitarian Universalists (same event)<br /> <br /> * Rally for Prisoners Rights, February 1st--Sacremento 1-5p<br /> <br /> ===Marcus bookstore event===<br /> Feb 4th, 7th pm, Marcus bookstore. Any update from Josh or Anka?<br /> <br /> ==Film nights==<br /> ===Bryan Gibel&#039;s film, Chicago Confessional===<br /> Tuesday Jan 26th is coming up quick!<br /> * Who will be there to set up, and what are our designated roles?<br /> ** Shilmat (Audio)<br /> ** Dennis (Doorman)<br /> ** Gerald (Popcorn)<br /> <br /> * Currently there are 8 people who have RSVP&#039;d on facebook (one of which is Liz, who won&#039;t actually be there...). Where else can we publicize?<br /> ** .announce list (done)<br /> ** Flier places we haven&#039;t been yet<br /> ***Long Haul<br /> ***Health food stores<br /> ***Qi&#039;lumbo<br /> ***Merritt College<br /> <br /> * Did Gerald and Kwaku finish the short they were working on?<br /> **Still needs work<br /> * Need another short to fill time <br /> **Found some short peices on current events in Chicago<br /> ***BLM gatherings in Chicago<br /> **Need more<br /> ***Death penalty<br /> ***Chicago corruption<br /> <br /> ===Black History Month film nights===<br /> Feb 16th: Black Power Mixtape. <br /> * Last time we talked about the possibility of inviting long-time organizers in the black power movement. This would require more organizing and publicizing. Any reportback from Josh or Gerald about contacting people?<br /> **//Discussion// on whether or not we should let the audience talk amoungst themselves or have a panel present<br /> ** what about the guest speakers casually talking with the audience in small groups? pod discussions. and this won&#039;t matter if we don&#039;t have any guest speakers, so what&#039;s the report-back?<br /> ***Some e-mails were sent, no responses---Gerald will hook it up with the Angela Davis/Bobby Reed contact<br /> ***Lets move on for now then<br /> * Needs to be posted to Omni calendar and FB (Indybay is done already)<br /> ** Liz will post to Omni<br /> ** Ask Anka on FB<br /> <br /> Feb. 23rd: Skin<br /> * Needs to be posted to Omni calendar and FB (Indybay is done already)<br /> ** Liz will post Omni<br /> ** Ask Anka on FB<br /> <br /> ==Seeds of Struggle==<br /> ===Editing process===<br /> Last session was rife with technical issues. We edited Gail&#039;s interview for content but it needs to be re-synced, and the edits remade. Liz can do this but she&#039;s out of town till Feb. 3rd. In the meantime, Wanda&#039;s interview needs transcribing, syncing, and editing. Can anyone commit to a transcription first? Remember to keep track of the movie file and the timecode for her comments, so that it&#039;s easy to find in the footage later. Please check the text file for Mr. Scott&#039;s interview (Documents -&gt; text docs -&gt; &quot;Mr. Scott transcribed&quot; or something) to see what I mean.<br /> * Note to any editors: I&#039;m not sure that nesting the synchronized sequences is what we want to do. It doesn&#039;t seem to update when changes are made in the original sequence. I could be wrong about it, but it needs more testing. It would be problematic in the future. For example, with Gail&#039;s interview, one of the camera angles was not synced with the audio. I didn&#039;t notice because I was just looking at the other camera angle the whole time, and I erroneously assumed someone else had synced it already. When I fixed it in the original sequence, the change was not reflected in the nested sequence. I will correct the problem later, but for now I would recommend syncing and editing for content within the same sequence.<br /> ** What footage do we need yet? <br /> ** I think this is recorded in some past notes, but we haven&#039;t gone through the material again to determine for sure<br /> <br /> ===Social Media===<br /> Jessica set up a Twitter account for Seeds of Struggle: https://twitter.com/SeedsOfStruggle<br /> * Liz: I&#039;m completely ignorant about this. There are all sorts of re-tweets that aren&#039;t related at all to the topics presented in Seeds of Struggle... Is this normal? Is it just a way of keeping followers engaged?<br /> *we&#039;ll talk to her later<br /> **discuss what political or ideological followings the twitterhandle is associated with<br /> <br /> The interview Jessica and Dennis did last week is available in a folder called &quot;Behind the scenes&quot;, in the Seeds of Struggle folder on the LaCie hard drive. It was suggested that someone take this opportunity to show Jessica how to open a project file (the settings you want are DSLR -&gt; 1080p 24fps, unless someone changed the frame rate on the camera, but we usually use 24fps), import footage, sync video with audio (we didn&#039;t do a clap, you&#039;ll have to find a hard consonant in his speech), make edits, basic sound filtering, possibly make titles, add music (optional), and export (and those settings will depend on the distribution). We could at least begin the process, if there are any volunteers.<br /> <br /> ==Internal operations==<br /> ===Filmmaking course preparation===<br /> Getting a compehensive discussion going about equipment and filmmaking workshops has been like wrangling cats. Liz is starting a communal document where everyone who is able and willing to put on a workshop can outline more precisely what they plan to do. This way we can start to build a syllabus and finalize which equipment/software is most useful and necessary.<br /> * Located here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TSC3ZiPJtGA8CfRnCLvxRmRwkhfy2WIXVe6kOVCQ8NY/edit?usp=sharing<br /> <br /> TABLED<br /> (meant to go on the doc anyway, so it doesn&#039;t have to be discussed now)<br /> <br /> ===Finances===<br /> * Cash box: $264.56<br /> ** Liz took out $7 for bridge toll to AltEx event<br /> * Savings: $90.01<br /> * Checking: $4,592 minus $17. Will update again soon.<br /> <br /> ==Action items==<br /> * update patxu OS &lt;- Liz did not do this before she left, tsk tsk :(<br /> ** then try Pluraleyes<br /> * fix printer, if anyone can look up how<br /> **Gerald must get off his ass<br /> **Also, he&#039;s gonna bring a couple printers by<br /> **Sean will look into Sudo fix on printer<br /> ***which one? the large inkjet one? yeah because I didn&#039;t mean that one, I meant the black one in our suite still yeah can you also look up a fix for our black one... &gt;_&lt; ehhhhhkay thank you!<br /> ***Josh to look up B/W Laser printer options<br /> * Liz: sign lease, send to Jenny &lt;- will do from San Jose, just gotta connect to a printer</div>
