Hi there,
I wanted to make sure those of us on this list are aware that we (Tracy of Media Alliance and a few of us at Sudo Mesh) decided to postpone the Build Your Own Internet event, which was scheduled to take place this Sat March 14.
We made the decision based on increasing concerns around COVID-19 and calls from public health officials to cancel any public events that could further spread the virus. It also did not seem wise, strategically, to hold a panel discussion about the Oakland Internet Choice ordinance when local lawmakers are plenty distracted by this public health crisis. We hope to check back in 2 weeks from now and see about potentially having the event late April if things have blown over by then (fingers crossed).
We hadn't done a great job publicizing this event anyway, so I'm fairly confident that most people didn't even know about it to begin with. However, please let others know that it's not happening if you have told others about the event.
Stay safe out there.
best,
Mai
Apparently David and Niki's house has an antenna partially set up but it
was never turned on. Anybody know what happened or how to get it finished?
Thanks!

Hey meshers,
Come check out this event where I'll be on a panel called "The Future of
the Internet: Protocols vs. Platforms" in SOMA on Thurs Feb 20 6:30pm. It's
free!
I'll be joined by Mike Masnick (Techdirt), Cory Doctorow, Ashley Tyson
(Web3 Foundation). The Lincoln Network, the organization putting it on, is
a tech-libertarian non-profit think tank so there might be some
conservative folks there. Wanted more of you to show up and support and
help me make those other audience members uncomfortable! lulz.
Here's the link to register:

Hope to see some of you there!
Mai

Hey Meshers,
In case you don't know: Omni urgently needs help fixing up the building ahead of a visit from the insurance company on Thursday Feb 13. If Omni gets dropped from its insurance policy, it's likely that we might lose the building... D:
SOOoo. There's a big list of tasks that need doing and so I'm rallying a group of us to help knock those tasks out! Come by for any amount of time and help Sudo Mesh show up for Omni.
WHAT: Let's fix up Omni!
WHEN: 1-7pm Sunday Feb 9
WHERE: Omni, obvs
HOW: Wear clothes you can get dirty in, or even paint a building in.
If you can't find us, feel free to ping me on Rocketchat: https://peoplesopen.net/chat/ (https://peoplesopen.net/chat/)
My handle on there is @iamai
Hope you can make it!
Mai
I plan to come :)

Subject: [ORCA] In case you're interested in the Bay area mesh thing...
To:
This Friday, January 17th, 7 PM at the San Francisco Veterans Administration
Building 7:
Kiley KD8DRX & Greg W2GMD will present the San Francisco Wireless Emergency
Mesh project.
We'll cover the basics of "How we got here?", "Why we're building this?",
"Who will use it?" and most importantly "Why is crimping ethernet jacks so
triggering for Greg?"
This presentation is open to all interested parties, regardless of SF Radio
Club membership.
Bonus, we'll have hardware available for anyone interested in connecting to
the mesh, and we'll be on hand to help you flash & configure your hardware
at
our Flash Party afterwards.

Hey there,
*Just in case* there was someone who was planning to attend the Sudo Mesh meeting tonight (Dec 24) or Dec 31, we are officially cancelling those meetings due to the holidays. Of course people are welcome to show up and still hack on stuff but just know that all the regulars say there will not be there. :P
Hope y'all have a relaxing and warm holidays!
cheers,
Mai
