Hi all, I'm not sure what's the best way to contact folks in Sudo Mesh
For legal reasons, every omni collective needs to have 1 member
formally represented on the Omni Commons executive board. Right now
Sudo Mesh appears to not be represented by anybody, because we haven't
updated our bylaws since you joined as a member collective. Could you
all figure out who you want on Omni's board? We are hoping to have a
formal meeting to update Omni's bylaws this Thursday. It would be
great if Sudo Mesh …
[View More]could send a delegate to this meeting!
Thursday March 4th 7-9pm https://meet.google.com/diw-hszw-msr or
515-428-1108 (PIN: 465 814 905)

I've been putting this off for a while now, but I think it's important
that I finally come out and say this.
I'm no longer interested in a being a member or in any way involved with
sudomesh. This might surprise some folks, largely because so much of the
dysfunction in this group has been swept under the rug, but I don't want
to continue to participate in the facade of "everything is fine here and
we're building a community mesh network". I don't think it's fair to new
folks or to the …
[View More]community at large.
The ownership and power structures of the organization are choking a
really good idea to death. At first I tried to cope with it, thinking
that it was better than nothing. Later I attempted to take action to
help correct it, but was met with a complete unwillingness. The work is
difficult enough. I no longer feel any need to compound it with the
interpersonal, power dynamics, and bureaucratic difficulties that
sudomesh is burdened with.
As I'm currently the owner and maintainer of the sudomesh exit node, if
people are using a "peoplesopen.net" router and want to continue to do
so, they should speak with someone involved with sudomesh (probably
Juul) to coordinate ongoing functionality. I will continue to maintain
some infrastructure, mostly those nodes that I personally installed. I'm
happy to support folks who I personally met with and helped setup.
I do continue to care deeply about building community owned and operated
internet infrastructure. I'm happy to talk about my future plans with
folks as well as what I think went off the rails here. Obviously there
is a lot of work to be done in this domain and though I'm discouraged by
the situation here, I do think that we can move forwards in positive
directions. Feel free to reach out directly to me if you'd like to be a
part of that.
Max

Subject: [sudo-info] Anticapitalist Hackathon
To: info(a)sudoroom.org
Hey all,
I'm organizing an anticapitalist hackathon called Hack the Left (
http://www.hacktheleft.com). I'm looking for subject matter experts who
might want to lead projects or just help provide some real-world grounding
for projects brainstormed at the event.
While this is an open call for …
[View More]projects and people, at the moment I'm
especially interested in connecting with contributors to the People's Open
Network. I think it would be really cool to have some mesh-related projects
at the event. If you're involved with that and have a project in mind or
would just be willing to sit down at the event and brainstorm projects,
please get in touch.
Cheers,
Brandon

Hey folks,
I wanted to let everyone know about this event that will be happening in
Richmond this Saturday, Nov 21st. Sudomesh/peoplesopen.net is a co-sponser
and will have a table there. I don't have a particularly good idea of what
it will look like, but I do have a ton of respect for the work that BBK and
OTX do and it'll be a really good opportunity to see what grassroots
digital literacy work looks like.
The fair will be at:
Building Blocks for Kids
312 9th St, Richmond, CA 94801 (a …
[View More]pretty short walk from the BART station)
11/21/2015 10am - 1pm.
We were asked to show up at 9am to prepare for tabling, etc. I'll be there
to bottom line it, but if other folks want to show up and talk about
sudomesh/peoplesopen.net I'd love the company.
Facebook event:

Thanks!

Our last Tuesday of the month general meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday October
27th at the Omni!
We've been busy alpha testing the network and have been getting some
promising results! More info on that process can be found here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog#Alpha_Testing_Network
We're especially interested in finding a handful of new folks who would
want to host nodes. If you're willing to share some of your home bandwidth,
generally reliable, and interested in our project, it's a great …
[View More]way to
learn about the network while helping us out a lot with very little initial
investment! If you're able to email me in advance of the meeting letting me
know that you're interested in hosting a home node, that would be
especially helpful, but if not that's ok too.
We take notes of our meetings (which everyone is encouraged to check out
even if you're not in attendance) here:
http://pad.sudomesh.org
Feel free to add agenda items if there are things you want to bring
up/ask/etc.
We're also generally on IRC on freenode servers in channel #peoplesopen.net
For information on how to join, check out
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh#Join_Us
Hope to see you there!

I'm thinking that I'd like to do some updates/maintenance to the (dev alpha
test) exit server tonight. Does anyone have any objections/time concerns?
I was thinking probably midnight tonight (Thurs 10/15). I know it's a
little late notice, but I think it may help with some of the issues we've
been experiencing. If everything goes correctly, it should be about 15 min
of downtime around midnight.
Thanks!
Max
Hey just curious who out there thinks there gonna be at the hacknight
tonight?
If anyone doesn't already have a mesh node, I can provide one tonight, but
it'd help to know if anyone is gonna show.
Thanks!
Max
Would someone be interested in talking to this person? I'll get you in
touch.

Hello Max,
I just wanted to follow up on a few things with you. I either didn't ask,
or didn't write it down, but can you tell me how much area geographically
is being covered with the mesh during the developers rollout?
I …
[View More]also wanted to clarify that phase two you hope to have 100 nodes in
testing? How much area do you think that will cover?
I did a bunch of research on the proposed FCC rule and I'm angling my
article towards that. There is an open comment period ending Oct. 9, which
was extended by a month. It's not very common for that happen. I have some
quotes from you on that, but I'd really like to get another voice in the
article from someone on the mesh project to speak about it.
I'm interested in knowing how you all think it will impact the project (and
future projects) and workarounds you are considering. I'm hoping to get the
article out quickly so it can run with some time before the comment period
closes.
I can be reached by email or by phone. If you can think of anyone on the
mesh project who would be interested in talking to me for the article, feel
free to pass my contact info along.
Thanks again for your time.
Jen
