The oakland internet choice initiative is picking up speed!
> The Oakland Internet Choice Coalition (OICC) is organizing to provide a
legal path requiring landlords of large multi-tenant buildings to allow
*any *qualified Internet service provider to serve their tenants.
Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan is looking for community
support in the next couple of months.

support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.

Hey there,
We'll be holding the Sudo Mesh annual board meeting tonight* 20 October
2020 from 7:30-9pm. *Agenda and notes will be taken here:

The meeting will be held on Jit.si at this link:
https://meet.jit.si/sudomesh2020 (reminder that Jitsi works better in
Chrome or other non-Firefox browsers). If we have technical difficulties
with Jitsi, I'll send over a Zoom link we can use.

*Please reply to this thread or privately if you do not wish to serve on
the Board. *
*Current board members are (based on last annual meeting minutes) *
* Marc Juul
* Mai Sutton
* Ben Elam
* Lesley Bell
* Benny Lichter
* Ben Goering
* Sierk Beij
* Robb Benson
* Blake Griffith
* Jenny Ryan
* Jake Watters
Maybe members?
* Seth Carolina
* Benny Lichtner
* Daniel Alvarez
* Jehan Tremback
You may nominate yourselves or others in addition to my nominations for
directors, as well as officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer).
Officers may also be re-elected. Current officers are Mai Sutton
(President), ??? (Secretary), and Jenny Ryan (Treasurer).
I'd also like to discuss whether it makes sense for Sudo Mesh to continue
to stay on as an Omni Collective member. We'd need to designate a new
delegate to go to the meetings as I'll be stepping down from the board and
will likely discontinue attending regular Omni delegates meetings starting
in Jan 2021.
Hope you can make it! It'll be nice to see all your faces, even remotely!
Mai

Hey there,
I wanted to propose we have our next board meeting in two Tuesdays from
tonight on *October 6 @ 7pm*.
We need to examine who sits on the board and accept any nominations for new
members, and deal with some of those bureaucratic things. But also we can
use it as a chance to re-connect and re-align.
I was gonna just call it but thought I should check in first.
*Anyone have any conflicts/objections to holding it at the above proposed
date?*
Hope everyone's healthy, both physically …
[View More]and mentally. Things are hella
overwhelming these days.
best,
Mai

If anyone has a disaster radio board they'd like to lend me, I'd like to experiment with a long-haul LORA link from here (coastside) across the bay to Oakland.
