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.
If you live in Oakland, read more about it and send her an email:

I think passing this ordinance is going to be a really important step to
support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.

Hey sudomesh crew!
Just a quick update that I have filed the 990 e-postcard (990-N) and the
199-N for Sudo Mesh's federal and state 2020 tax requirements, respectively.
Financial reports covering 2020 are attached, and I'll update the github
shortly, also.
I'll leave discussions of generally rebooting to their own threads (on
mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org) - at the least there are some Omni proposals to
consider. :)
We are timely in our contribs to Omni, but I need to double check we've
been contributing to Sudo Room.
Sudo Room is strapped for $$ right now - a grant from Sudo Mesh to Sudo
Room is a proposal I've been considering making. But for the moment -
getting Sudo Mesh caught up on due diligence, and rebooting activity
generally, are my priorities.. (others more than welcome to start those
threads tho!)
Love,
Jenny
