3/31 @IFTF Dewayne Hendricks wireless pioneer, activist, FCC techie & Darknet explorer

by Mike Liebhold

Dear Friends, Please join us Tuesday 3/31 in Palo Alto for the next event in the Institute for the Future's Second Curve Internet (insurgent Internet) Speaker Series Featuring Dewayne Hendricks, is a long time wireless pioneer, activist for world net development, FCC Techie and Darknet explorer I hope to see you there! MIke Looking Back to Look Forward: The Future of the Internet In this talk, Dewayne Hendricks will take us on a walk back through history— starting with the British science historian James Burke who pioneered using the ‘Connections’ methodology—and reveal how the principles behind the Internet have manifested themselves before in other communications methods. From that perspective, Dewayne will look at today’s Internet and speculate on just what its ‘Second Curve’ might look like. o The rediscovery of the end-to-end principle and how this could be put to use. o The implications of growing the new Internet from the bottom up (grassroots style), rather then top down. o The effects of the growth of user owned communications infrastructure on the future Internet. o How the use of peer-to-peer applications are changing the capabilities of the Deep Web (aka Darknet). o How wireless devices might change if spectrum policies such as 'Open Spectrum' were allowed to flourish.

Tetherless Access offers a comprehensive range of products and services, including research and product development, for wireless communications via the Internet. He is also a past member of the Federal Communications Commission's Technological Advisory Council (FCC/TAC), where he served for eight years. In 2002, Wired Magazine did a profile on him, titled "Broadband Cowboy." Prior to forming Tetherless Access, Dewayne was General Manager of the Wireless Business Unit for Com21, Inc. He joined Com21 participating as Co-Principal Investigator in the National Science Foundation’s Wireless Field Tests for Education project. That project successfully connected remote educational institutions to the Internet. Test sites ranged from rural primary schools in Colorado, USA to a University in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. About the Second Curve Internet Speaker Series This event is part of IFTF’s Second Curve Internet Speaker Series, an exploration into the critical elements necessary to reinvent the Internet, stemming from our 2014 Ten-Year Forecast research. The series gathers leading minds together with IFTF’s deep experience thinking about technology and the ways of communicating, coordinating, and organizing in the changing world around us.

Reed, The Videos are online here: Redesigns for a Broken Internet - Cory Doctorow [Video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J_9EFGFR-Y ""The Internet's broken and that's bad news, because everything we do today involves the Internet and everything we'll do tomorrow will require it. But governments and corporations see the net, variously, as a perfect surveillance tool, a perfect pornography distribution tool, or a perfect video on demand tool—not as the nervous system of the 21st century. Time's running out. Architecture is politics. The changes we're making to the net today will prefigure the future our children and their children will thrive in—or suffer under." Cooperate and Thrive, or Divide and Conquer? David P. Reed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RAnHWPS-Iw "You never step into the same river twice. So it is with the Internet. The Internet transcends any particular physical devices, any particular services, country boundaries etc. But today it remains a collection of rivers, with firm banks, a few major sources, and a vast undifferentiated ocean of "consumers." The Internet has begun to encompass the air around us. That is, almost all of us in the West now carry the Internet with us, maintaining constant connections to the rivers, attempting to create "rivers" in the sky. Technically, rivers in the sky makes no sense at all. What will the next phase of the Internet look like? How will it be built? In this talk we will focus on two major technology issues that challenge the future evolution of the Internet—radio networking architecture and proximate interaction. In each, the core principles that helped the Internet succeed are being discarded. What will happen?"

Lost USB Memory Stick with Important files

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I lost a USB memory stick that contains very important files. On Saturday (March 14th) in the afternoon I stopped by Omni to do some computer work, but since my laptop was running out of space, I transferred a lot of files into a 32GB or 64GB (cannot remember exactly) memory stick (that later I put in my pants front small pocket), so that I could have some extra disk space. I left the OMNI about 7:00PM. I believe I may have dropped it at the time that I was looking for food at the fridge. I believe it was there, because right after getting food at the OMNI I went straight to Ed's place. It was at Ed's place when I tried to retrieve it and I realized I have lost it. Please someone pass this email to the OMNI list if possible. Many thanks in advance, Daniel

California Telleconnects Fund

by max b

http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/puc/telco/public+programs/ctf/ Apparently we might be eligible for a 50% discount off any "on select communications services". It sounds like it would take a few months to apply and receive eligibility.

sudoroom.org downtime tonight

by yar

It's at maybe the worst possible time (6pm tonight) but there's nothing we can do about it. We'll try to make it as quick & smooth as possible. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <support(a)linode.com> Date: Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 11:35 AM Subject: Linode Support Ticket 4254236 - Critical Xen Maintenance / Reboot Schedule Hello, Linode recently received several Xen Security Advisories (XSAs) that require us to perform updates to our host servers. In order to apply the updates, hosts and the Linodes running on them must be rebooted. The XSAs will be publicly released by the Xen project team on March 10th, therefore we must complete the updates before that date. These updates are required to protect the security and safe operations of not only our infrastructure, but yours as well. We understand that a disruption with such limited notice is inconvenient, and we hope you understand that these measures are warranted due to the severity of the XSAs. Your Linodes have been assigned a maintenance window in which a reboot will occur. These times are listed within the Linode Manager[1] in the timezone set in your user's My Profile[2]. Your schedule in UTC timezone is as follows: * 2015-03-06 2:00:00 AM UTC - sudoserver During the maintenance window Linode instances will be cleanly shut down while we perform the updates. Your Linode will be inaccessible during this time. A two-hour window is allocated, however the actual downtime can be much less. After the maintenance, each Linode will then be booted. See our Reboot Survival Guide[3] for tips and hints on configuring and testing that your Linode services boot properly after the maintenance. Unfortunately, due the logistical demands of this effort, your assigned windows are not changeable and the host reboots are mandatory. For general information, please see our status post: <http://status.linode.com/incidents/2dyvn29ds5mz> Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist.

Assuming this is the PHLO+ dual-bonded VDSL Business service, they're stating 60-100Mbps @ 1000 feet from the local Central Office: http://www.lmi.net/services/phlo-faq Sudo Room is about 900' as the crow flies (though it's the cable length and quality that matters): Building CLLI/Name: OKLDCA11 (OAKLAND (45TH STREET)) Address: 479 45th St, Oakland, CA 94609-2135 http://www.lmi.net/phlomap.html LMI offers static addresses for an extra fee. from http://www.lmi.net/services/adsl: "Bridged static IP’s are available for: $5 / one static, $10 / four static, $20 / eight static per month."
