<div>'''A Commons in Oakland, California'''<br />
<br />
From Latin omni-, "all, every, the whole, of every kind,"<br />
<br />
Omni Commons is comprised of several Bay Area collectives with a shared political vision—one that, at its most basic level, privileges a more equitable commoning of resources and meeting of human needs over private interests or corporate profit.<br />
<br />
We invite you to join us in establishing a hub: a safe productive place to pool resources for the collective use and stewardship of the greater community. A space that fosters an ethic of radical collaboration across disciplines and between individuals, creating a living model for future radical spaces. By collectivizing, we are able to consolidate expenses for the purpose of amplifying one another’s goals. Omni is far greater than the sum of its parts.<br />
<br />
OmniI is making manifest a different way of being together. This is not a project that aims to realize the impossible. Rather, Omni represents a complete perspectival shift, one that allows us to model a way of living outside of the mandates of private interests and corporate profit. It is a reclamation of the Commons. We are creating a space where resources are mutually cared for, cultivated and shared.<br />
For more info: http://www.omnicommons.org/<br />
<br />
=Delegates meeting and joining the collective=<br />
<br />
Delegate meetings are open for anyone to come and witness. If you would like to formally join the Omni Collective as a member, we have created this short sheet to facilitate the procedure:<br />
<br />
*Please read our vision statement / governing principles to determine if your collective would be a good fit.<br />
*Attend an Omni [[Meetings|Meeting]] 7–9pm Thursdays at 4799 Shattuck Ave in the basement.<br />
*Present your collective to the group. This should include *IN WRITING* a description of what you do, points of synergy w/the Omni collective, some thoughts as to how we can help one another (i.e.: what can you provide to the community? what do you need?) What you'd like to provide to the greater community. <br />
*Please answer the questions below and submit to Omni *IN WRITING* in preparation.<br />
*After your presentation, the Delegates will take the information to their respective groups for a week of deliberation. We will make a decision at the next Delegates meeting, in a closed vote.<br />
<br />
If approved, the following:<br />
*Choose a delegate to represent your collective in Omni Delegate meetings<br />
*ATTEND Omni general meetings and participate in/contribute to the ongoing evolution of the project!<br />
<br />
=Potential member group proposal guidelines=<br />
<br />
In preparing a membership proposal for your group to join Omni, please make sure to include the following points. You can answer using these questions directly or incorporate them into a format that suits your style.<br />
<br />
1. Mission statement<br />
* What do you do? What happens in the world because you exist? (1-3 sentences)<br />
<br />
2. Origin and group history<br />
* How did you start? What have you done? (1-3 sentences)<br />
<br />
3. Participation in the Omni<br />
* Why are you interested in becoming a member? How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? (less than 5 sentences)<br />
<br />
4. Group finances and paying rent<br />
* What does your group do to support itself financially? What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? (less than 5 sentences)<br />
<br />
5. Dedicated space<br />
* If your group would like some dedicated space at the Omni, what square footage and what features are you looking for? Which specific rooms do you feel might be suitable? (1-3 sentences)<br />
<br />
6. Other contributions to the Omni<br />
* This question should inspire some imagination. We are exploring ideas to pay rent and purchase the building in the long-term. The basic plan is for each group paying a share of rent. Potential plans include groups sharing profit from their activities, producing Omni events, and booking other events. What is the best-case scenario for using the Omni space to further support your group? (less than 5 sentences)<br />
<br />
7. Additional<br />
* Is there any other information that you think would be useful for us to know about your group? (as many sentences as you like)</div>Stationaeryhttps://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Campaign_action_kit&diff=2327Campaign action kit2014-11-27T23:10:32Z<p>Stationaery: /* Campaign action kit */</p>

<br />
= Actions you can take =<br />
<br />
== The most important action is to ask people early and directly to support our campaign: ==<br />
<br />
Reach out to friends and allies who might donate to Omni ASAP with an open invitation to learn more about Omni. Ask if you can tell them about Omni, be concise, and listen genuinely to their questions and interest – introduce the effort underway and the $70,000 we need to raise by January 1st in order to open our commons, and ask if they can commit to donating and spreading the word on Day 1, Nov 28th. Hold space at Omni and give tours, talk to people about our upcoming campaign. Tell them to check www.omnicommons.org/donate and make a personal note to remind them yourself. <br />
<br />
Why is this so important? Like a snowball, the more critical mass we have on launch day, the more momentum we’ll have as the campaign continues. Reaching out now will make Omni more familiar and part of a growing relationship. As well, receiving over 30% of our goal in the first 48 hours means the Omni campaign will likely get featured on indiegogo.com. What’s more, people coming to the campaign with relatively little information about what Omni might be will get a strong, positive impression by seeing solidarity in the form of donors and donations.<br />
<br />
== Other actions include email, social media, and making connections: ==<br />
<br />
Here are a few best practices to consider:<br />
* Share, like, and retweet what Omni Commons posts on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms – the more you interact with a post, the more it spreads to other audiences.<br />
* Share your own images and stories!<br />
* Invite people to our Nov 29th/30th launch party and open house<br />
* Change your Facebook cover photos with this Facebook cover image https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/iWkuUCwYN9mD2NDcyQvaWSzGCKTDM2pqAiCnVOHoWq_mUGp9PG5IL_MVYHs6QO4VvwuVfg=w1370-h649<br />
* Post this digital flyer to post and send with emails https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/m8QYR01_-_7cBqAwptoiZhVfLwl905AgNU2kHNBB-Evou4-sAwOwPB8pcXjLhsmnI1endw=w1370-h649 on friends' Facebook walls, add it in emails, and share it widely!<br />
* Update your email signature – write a concise and compelling personal message with a link to our donate page (see example, below)<br />

Hi <name>,<br />

I’ve seen your work at <publication>, covering stories in on <awesome community stuff> and I want to reach out about Omni Commons, a collective of collectives I’m volunteering with.<br />
<br />
The Omni Commons is a collective of collectives building a replicable model for shared space and resources in Oakland. We’re renting and one day purchasing a 22,000 square foot building that is home to a self-sustaining biotech laboratory, a horizontally-organized, all-volunteer public school, and a community wireless network providing free public Wi-Fi, among a dozen other initiatives and dozens of events. To get a taste of what we’re up to, check at www.omnicommons.org.<br />
<br />
We’re preparing to open our doors to the public. Because we are an all-volunteer effort, we’re covering critical expenses and building community around this project with a crowdfunding campaign launching November 28th through January 1st.<br />
<br />
We’re looking for partners in media to help us get the word out, and this project seems like a great fit with your previous work. <br />
<br />
For more insights and images, I’m attaching a press kit with this email. I’m also happy to talk more on the phone, or could arrange a tour of the building if you’d like to visit.<br />

To support Omni friends and allies with content they can adapt for their personal part in the community-building + fundraising effort, we compiled this action kit. You're invited to add edits, comments, and anything else you need to support your outreach during and especially before the campaign launches.<br />
<br />
Our goals are to invite participation in making Omni valuable to our communities and beyond, and to raise >$70,000 (all the way to $700,000?) from people allied & aligned with Omni.<br />
* The campaign page goes live on Friday, Nov 28th to start accepting donations<br />
* The campaign effort launches on Nov 29th/30th (with our party and open house)<br />
* There will be other exciting events and ongoing efforts to promote the campaign.<br />

<br />
===permits===<br />
we need to buy:<br />

* 3 panic bar door handles for ballroom ($120-$400 each)<br />
<br />
building inspection:<br />
* will happen soon but is not yet scheduled, they have to accept our plans. we are in a revise-resubmit cycle<br />
<br />
the lift:<br />
* we need a lift approved for commercial use. we have a lead on one available for $nearlyfree, but it ''might'' require us to build a small shaft that would protrude into the downstairs kitchen a bit.<br />
<br />
the TIL wall:<br />
* will probably not be loved by inspectors (for example: screws were used instead of nails for the rough wood framing)<br />
* is a structural wall if it incorporates existing load-bearing elements<br />
* is only done on one side (at the moment)<br />
<br />
the ballroom:<br />
* electrical needs to be mapped out and spec’d out for the AV people running the upcoming events (cere will help)<br />
<br />
cafe bathroom:<br />
* making it ADA accessible by removing a toilet made one of the agencies unhappy because now we have too few toilets. hashing it out.<br />
** having fewer toilets might significantly impact building occupancy<br />
<br />
events:<br />
* Danny asks: A group inquired about having phone/computer/wristwatch-free, alcohol-free party and concert on New Years Eve. Construction and soundproofing looks like it'll be sufficiently complete by then to host this event. Permiting is moving ahead. The group wants tentative confirmation (like a deposit) by Friday. Questions? Concerns? <br />

== Backspace ==<br />
Proposal Summary: see full text at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hi2_xRKwEu8VPHZlm3xym6rLuM4lJeGiNhZuvwfXXGs/edit<br />
<br />
Backspace proposes to move into the ADA accessible Storage Area on the Shattuck Ave side (former TIL space), the small BDRM upstairs and the upstair Den (re: the Den - Backspace plans to offer this room part of the time as a Commons to other Omni collectives).<br />
<br />
Den: Backspace is interested in the Den that overlooks La Commune (next to TIL’s upstairs office). We will use this room approx. 50% of the time in a multi-purpose way: for use for yoga, martial arts, open affordable holistic clinic hours, meditation, wellness special events, etc. We will offer this room as a common space by reservation during the times when it is not reserved for Backspace use. <br />
A public calendar that Backspace would be very happy to administrate would be set up for this room (alternately we can link to an existing Omni-wide calendar but just need more info on how to do so).<br />
<br />
Small BDRM upstairs: We need one small, private room for use as a small studio space for practitioners, as well as for locked Backspace storage (which will include herbs and tinctures that must be locked and not available to the public).<br />
<br />
Former TIL office: We envision this as a private ADA accessible clinic room for Backspace (for massage appts, etc, where the practitioner would need to lock the door behind them).<br />
<br />
=== discussion ===<br />
* den: "half backspace and half common"<br />
* why so fast? they need more people. the people interested want to know what kind of space there will be. catch 22. and they have rent & utilities coming up. need to get moving in order to be a member collective and actually exist.<br />
* danny: what about the disco room? less cafe chatter. sara: they considered it. but are supporting the commons wg in that<br />
* they're thinking of covering the balcony with windows<br />
* what changes to the den? painting definitely. needs new floors because the tiles are cracked. possibly openable windows at the balcony, not sure yet.<br />
* some classes will be sliding scale donations, some will be free.<br />
* baps is worried about having class space. putting windows on the ballroom mezzainine classroom would help with that.<br />
* sara: i'm a founding public school member. obviously i care about baps. :)<br />
* margit: there's groups with huge spaces, and groups scrambling over little spaces. how are we gonna be commoning these spaces?<br />
* yar: 12 hours per day of classes would be great for the omni. sara: it wouldn't be 50% of space, it would be 50% of access. does that make sense? yar: no but i'll ask you later.<br />
* baps would need to store a table and chairs in the den in order to use it for classes<br />
* margit: start having classes in omnidance's space on monday! we have an open schedule! response: awesomeeeee.<br />
* discussing consenting on giving backspace the eyeball room tonight<br />
* backspace meets every friday at 8am at mama's royal cafe<br />
* eyeball room would have a door that locks so that herbal mixtures aren't accessible to everyone. will mostly be 1-on-1 massage sessions with clients. will require quiet outside. for example, don's martial arts class is too loud.<br />
* scott: omp people can help with soundproofing. also, basement room will be good for those sessions.<br />
<br />
==Proposal from Commons Working Group==<br />
* 10.14.14: The Commons Working Group proposes to collectively steward several common spaces in the Omni, including the ballroom and the Disco Room (as of December 1). The Commons Working Group will create systems for maintaining all these spaces as common spaces as well as making them available to the community to rent hourly. <br />
* Specifically, the Disco Room will be maintained as a space for body-based and somatic practices (i.e., dance, yoga, martial arts, meditation, etc.). <br />
* As the Commons Working Group expects to garner income for the Omni from hourly rentals of these spaces, we propose that no new tenant be given exclusive use of them. <br />
<br />
==20 minute breakout discussion==<br />
* What does "commons" mean to us?<br />
* Why is maintaining a commons important?<br />
* What are your dreams for the commons in the Omni?<br />
* How can we all steward the Omni commons together?<br />
<br />
== building modifications & bans ==<br />
* since these now must be considered at meetings, let's always keep a section here to remind us<br />
* Soundproofing - need to approve approx $1k for preliminary soundproofing measures in the ballroom<br />
<br />
== kitchen ==<br />
proposal from the kitchen working group: We order a second compost bin and another recycling bin from Alameda County Waste Management. The bins cost $9.75 each per month and will show up on the collection day after we ask for them. The one green bin we have gets overloaded by Tuesday when FNB needs to use it, and there seems to be a similar problem with recycling. One complication is that the pipckup is listed as a residential pickup. I suppose it is still in John's name. I also suppose that we are actually paying for it. If we switch to a business pickup the rates may be different - presumeably higher. I'll try to find out by Thursday. (Helen)<br />
* see email<br />
* kitchen wg envisions times where groups can reserve it EXCLUSIVELY. fnb, phat beets, etc.<br />
* there will need to be a backup kitchen. mezzanine one is small, but might have to do. All it needs is a fridge; it's complete otherwise.<br />
* proposal: $1019 to spend on fixing the stove and reimbursing joe & helen for metro racks, hood filters, stainless steel table, plumbing repair + electrical parts</div>Stationaeryhttps://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Event:2014/10/21_Beehive_Collective_(HOLD)&diff=1991Event:2014/10/21 Beehive Collective (HOLD)2014-10-18T03:06:34Z<p>Stationaery: </p>

** emerging concept:<br />
*** communicates the long-term promise we see in Omni<br />
*** represents all of the contexts we come from and the transformations we're making<br />
*** focuses heavily on the tangible - "a communal space and venue" as well as "heritage" (as opposed to gentrification) and "self-organizing" (an extension of occupy)<br />
*** see notes from last meeting<br />
** preliminary goal and deadline: $70k by Dec 12<br />
** stretch goals of $88k, $111k, for example (we need a budget of the reasonable minimum to sustain Omni through January, including construction costs)<br />
** note: depending on projections, it might be wise to start at lower goal<br />
1. Schedule<br />
* Sep 22: jump 1 -- getting pledges<br />

** making estimates of money for Day 1<br />
* Sep 29: jump 2 -- producing materials<br />

** launch party?<br />
* Oct 11 onward:<br />
** full calendar of events<br />
** full press, media, and social media campaign<br />
* Dec 12: victory!<br />
** Dec 12 because it's after "#givingtuesday" and safely before the holidays; we can get the word out BEFORE other seasonal fundraisers and meet our first goal (or "tilt" if Matt believes we should use tilt.com) before continuing onward to our next, larger goal<br />
2. Strategy going forward<br />
* three parallel strategies:<br />
** 1) organizing inner circle<br />
** 2) reaching wider audience<br />
** 3) hosting events and stunts<br />
* group exercises AKA thought experiments:<br />
** 1) setting the scope: assume 3% of people reached make an avg. donation of $35 (a "conversion rate"), how many people do we need to reach our goal of $70,000? (66,667 people reached!) How many individuals does that add up to? (2,000 donors!)<br />
** 2) drafting lists: take 15min to list individuals and organizations that might donate, noting why they might want to, how much $, and how likely<br />
*** PROJECTIONS: we estimated potential for $15–30k in pledges via direct, individual asks, meaning a $70k initial goal is realistic!<br />
*** these large, one-time donations are in addition to recurring weekly microdonations<br />
* top priorities across the 3 parallel strategies:<br />
** coordinating Omni collectives<br />
** inviting people with great reach to be on our "host committee" and champion the campaign<br />
** soliciting individuals who can make large gifts, high net-worth and with values aligned<br />
** leveraging press contacts<br />
** leveraging local partners/org relationships<br />
** hosting excellent events<br />
** securing grants<br />
3. Action<br />
* propose schedule of dates (campaign launch, first goal deadline) to delegates on Thursday<br />
* announce workshop on fundraising to support more people getting involved (see priorities, above)<br />
* establish weekly Monday work party for fundraising<br />
** next week: donation platform and other materials</div>Stationaeryhttps://omnicommons.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Event:2014/09/22_community_and_fundraising&diff=1758Event:2014/09/22 community and fundraising2014-09-24T07:28:19Z<p>Stationaery: </p>

* top priorities across the 3 parallel strategies:<br />
** coordinating Omni collectives<br />
** enrolling campaign "host committee"<br />
** soliciting high net-worth individuals<br />
** leveraging press contacts<br />
** leveraging local partners/org relationships<br />
** hosting excellent events<br />
** securing grants<br />
3. Action<br />
* propose schedule of dates (campaign launch, first goal deadline) to delegates on Thursday<br />
* announce workshop on fundraising to support more people getting involved (see priorities, above)<br />
* establish weekly Monday work party for fundraising<br />

* what we're building on<br />
** emerging concept:<br />
*** communicates the long-term promise we see in Omni<br />
*** represents all of the contexts we come from and the transformations we're making<br />
*** focuses heavily on the tangible - "a communal space and venue" as well as "heritage" (as opposed to gentrification) and "self-organizing" (an extension of occupy)<br />
*** see notes from last meeting<br />
** preliminary goal and deadline: $70k by Dec 12<br />
** stretch goals of $88k, $111k<br />
** note: depending on projections, it might be wise to start at lower goal<br />
1. Schedule<br />
* Sep 22: jump 1 -- getting pledges<br />
** drafting lists of prospects<br />
** asking people personally to pledge<br />
** making estimates of money for Day 1<br />
* Sep 29: jump 2 -- producing materials<br />
** campaign page text<br />
** "ask" template<br />
** video<br />
** editorial calendar of emails, social media, etc<br />
* Oct 5: video filming<br />
* Oct 9: video edits complete; Noemie leaves town<br />
* Oct 10: donate page live, with video!<br />
** launch party?<br />
* Oct 11 onward:<br />
** full calendar of events<br />
** full press, media, and social media campaign<br />
* Dec 12: victory!<br />
** Dec 12 because it's after "#givingtuesday" and safely before the holidays; we can get the word out BEFORE other seasonal fundraisers and meet our first goal (or "tilt" if Matt believes we should use tilt.com) before continuing onward to our next, larger goal<br />
2. Strategy going forward<br />
* three parallel strategies:<br />
** 1) organizing inner circle<br />
** 2) reaching wider audience<br />
** 3) hosting events and stunts<br />
* group exercises:<br />
** 1) setting the scope: assuming a 3% conversation rate and an avg. donation of $35, how many people do we need to reach our goal of $70,000?<br />
** 2) drafting lists: take 15min to list individuals and organizations that might donate, noting why they might want to, how much $, and how likely<br />
