Today's Topics: 1. BYOI Office Hours Sudoroom 1pm - 4pm (Null) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be doing inventory of the cage, there will be a few of us come with questions(maybe I can answer em) or just to hang. --- * What are BYOI office hours? It serves two purposes: 1. A jumping off point for people interested helping with a scheduled Sunday node mount, but who are not able to attend a Tuesday night meeting or are not "in the know." 2. A friendly time for new people to get oriented to the project or just ask general questions about networking, the internet, and their service provider. We may also use the time to hold training sessions on a topic of choice, conduct outreach to potential node locations, address finances and purchasing, or tackle any other outstanding issues. -Null

Asylum Seekers Caravan: Update 2018-11-25

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I cannot go in details here, because it is not the proper place, besides that I still don't know why; but I was kicked out of the group by the person that I went to join, and later on other two members that came to join the group were asked to leave as well. In our last days the three that got kicked out worked together and it was for the best. We bonded and we became friends, brainstorming and decision making was way easier, horizontal. We, the original group of four, found two asylum seekers in Mazatlan. After that two of us, an Italian gay person and myself, supported the asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. While the two others the group flew from Mazatlan to Tijuana. One of the asylum seekers, man in his 40s, had an accident the day before about 1pm. He tried to aboard a cargo train while in movement. He hit his face against the train, and was ejected back out to he ground, where as he said, "went into sleep really quickly" until in the dark of the night when he was feeling cold. At that time he just dragged himself away from the railroad tracks to avoid potential incoming trains, to just to curl and continue sleeping again until the morning when the sun was too hot. A few hours later we found him. Cuts on his face and hands. In the same railroad area, among train containers, there was a 16 years old and he also was supported. Both of them are now in Tijuana. The kid is in a safe place, with shelter and food, wiht moms and kids, and already got a number enlisting himself for asylum. -I lost contact with the man. But last thing I know is that he has a place where to sleep and eat with the person that kicked me out of the group. I hope he is okay. Both were given new clothes, and shoes while in Mazatlan. The funds came from donations like yours. Thank you for that. We didn't help tons of people, we helped only two. At the beginning when I was in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco I did some short interviews and one of them was with Vivian https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/20/2018-11-18-vivian-a-computer-te… which we kept in touch. At the time, we couldn't help them. But at least we have been on WhatsApp. Yesterday latest news, they were in Mexicali for a few days already and has not eaten, he/she said was hungry. And that a bus was living tomorrow to Tijuana, but for only the ones that can afford the ticket. I sent some money, but they was not able to pick it up, the local store asked for Mexican Electoral ID. So, we lost, 1000 pesos. I had sent enough for Vivian and partner, and some change. I have to say that I didn't ask for money to support my flight ticket to Jalisco. And my expenses there, were covered by donations that my new gay friend had received. During the trip up north Mexico, I was in contact with another small group that was made up of three mom, two husbands, four children (including a baby that was born in Puebla, after jumps of the truck sent the mom to the hospital). https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/24/2018-11-23-ten-days-old-baby-th… There are not public videos of the two we helped directly, because they wanted it private. They allow me to interview them when we arrived to Tijuana, for me to remember them.But they are okay with some photos in my facebook account, you may see them there. Thank you to all of you that supported with moral encouragement, and some that donated. If you feel that you want to donate, because what I lived and experienced and the work I saw done today I recommend https://www.facebook.com/ActivateLabs/ donation point: https://www.facebook.com/donate/485476331860297/ The donate button at https://asylumseekerscaravan.org already reflects this new donation point. Many thanks to all of you, <3! Daniel

Layer 4 roaming?

by Marc Juul

Some of us had recently been talking about Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 roaming. Well, it looks like HTTP/3 is basically a TCP replacement on top of UDP, and it allows a connection to continue between IP address changes by using a per-connection UUID. https://blog.erratasec.com/2018/11/some-notes-about-http3.html We can expect this to be implemented, at the very least, in the most popular web browsers but possible other programs as well. This could really mitigate the issues with non-roaming capable mesh networks. -- marc/juul

Asylum Seekers Caravan update: flight change, two busses stopped by la migra and judicial police

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello all, A really quick update. For more deets, please check: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org. As Jessie had mentioned in a couple occasions, things there with the caravan can change from minute to minute. Well, the ticket from Mexico City had to changed for Guadalajara, and I am leaving tonight 11:20pm. One of the alerting things yesterday, is that a group of folks that went ahead in two buses, not supported by us have to clarify this, were stopped in Agua Prieta, Hermosillo. Based on a video taken by a local woman, a WhatsApp audio convo from one of the asylum seekers, and a report from Pueblo Sin Fronteras, two busses were stopped about 11pm on the night of the 15th. A child and a woman were hurt but Mexican authorities when they were forcefully were taken out the bus. They asylum seekers were scared because they were not being taken to any oficial facility and were just driven around for hours. The asylum seeker reporting at the time that things were happening said her phone was very low in charge. The Mexican authorities involved in this scary stop and arrest were the Mexican Immigration, and Judicial Police. According to one of the asylum seekers, at the moment of the arrest, middle of the night, some asylum seekers escaped. But, as things were developing, the authorities realized that they were getting themselves in a big trouble because there has been a judicial order (Amparo 16-18) given by judge, Jonathan Bass Herrera from a Court in Mexico City and notified to all authorities in the country, that the busses should not be stopped and the asylum seekers be let pass. Eventually all (about 60) were let go, some went to a refuge, and yesterday at about 5am they continue their journey to Tijuana. Also, as seen in the video, a child was with fever and the authorities were told, but as woman says, the Mexican Immigration didn't care and ignored them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=ED9QgsWs3JE Thank you to all of you for your moral support, and for your donations. To donate: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan Special thanks to Noisebridge <https://noisebridge.net> for directly assisting me during my preparation for this trip.Thanks Silver, thanks Steve, and others there.

2018/11/15 A quick update about the Asylum Seekers Caravan.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, this a very quick update. * Donation Status - https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan * New Website - https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/ * Caravan and Jessie's whereabouts. * Goal Status * I am going in. *Donation Status*, out current goal is 15K and so far we have close to 6k. Please donate and you haven't done it. The website it is here: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan *New Website*, this past Sunday I went to the Aaron Swartz Day event at the Internet Archive in SF. While there I got to see some familiar faces, and also I met more officially Steve Phillips from Noisebridge. Anyhow, to make the story short, since I have to go sleep, and wake up early for work, Steve kindly volunteered to help our group to migrate our just plain html static website to a WorkPress type, where the public and others group members can also add content. Steve and I did an all nighter right after the Aaron's event, working all night at Noisebridge and going home about 8am. Similar hacker schedule followed the next two night, which ended in our nice website. Many thanks Steve. Muy agradecido. *Jessie* followed the caravan from Mexico City to Queretaro, and then she returned to Mexico City when she learned that more asylum seekers were coming. Jessie, been talking and interviewing and learning more about the situation. T*he Goal*, which we are very laser focus, is as mentioned on my previous email and as the donation site mentions, is to provide transportation to as many we can to women, children, and LGBTQ vulnerable folks. And for what we have collected in donation, we are about to make the first trip from Mexico City to Tijuana. As Jessie reports, the situation there is very fluid, so not only things change moment to moment, but also she has to be very patience and wait for their choices. But, again, the first trip is this Sunday. *This weekend.* And the money that we have is only allowing about 60 people. We could offer more, if more folks would donate. The road I have taken many years ago, and there a very long one, and empty areas and distance town in between. Circling back to Jessie, in a way, because she is by herself, someone else (I am not sure if I can mention his name here) is coming over this Saturday. And, about half hour ago or so I bought a flight ticket to go help them both. Three of us will go with asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. I am scheduled to arrive to Mexico City on Saturday morning. *I am going in, *and my intention is to team up with the other two in this task, and at the same time try to document the trip photographing. I am not sure how long I am going to be there, but the most that I can push it is until Dec 8. I should be uploading photos at my flickr account, so if you want to help spread the word, feel free to use those photos, they are intended to be here: https://flickr.com/danielarauz/sets, as often as it will possible. Please, if you haven't donate, please do. We really are using every single cent to support those in need. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GB4sbZ9BtA Also here: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/14/2018-11-10-jessie-live-heart-br… Thank you, and sinceramente muchas gracias de antemano for your time and donations.

Asylum Seekers Caravan uncensored reports from Mexico City

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All! If you are interested on reading, watching videos and photos about the Asylum Seekers Caravan, uncensored reports, please visit Jessie's Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/jessie.sandoval. The reports are also being logged here: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org. Who is Jessie Sandoval? Jessie is a sister in struggle from Nicaragua, that I met and worked with during Occupy. She went to Mexico a couple days ago in support of the Asylum Seekers sisters and brothers, and she is already sending reports on her Facebook account. Her writing is blant, poetic, unapologetic, etc. I like her writing. Before I go.. a quote from one her post from last night. " *I am not sleeping on cold hard earth, after traveling north for a month.**And yet, there's been no burning, no breaking by this migrant community*" ~Jessie Sandoval Mexico City - 2018-11-07 Thank you in advance for any support to my/our brown folks.
