Fwd: Vigil in San Francisco for the open Internet

by Mitar

Hi! Hmmm. This does not sound good. Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Nathan White, DemandProgress.org <info(a)demandprogress.org> Subject: Vigil in San Francisco for the open Internet Hey, The FCC's Net Neutrality proposal just leaked, and it's terrible. Four million people spoke out against "slow lanes" and cable company censorship, and the FCC's rules explicitly open the door for that kind of abuse. From what we're hearing, they're finalizing the rules right now. We can still stop this, but we have to act swiftly and show a strong response right away. [1]Find out about Thursday's emergency protest in San Francisco. Sign up and spread the word! Here's the plan: we need to send a strong message to President Obama and the FCC right now that the Internet using public won't just roll over and let them take our rights away. So, taking some inspiration from mass protests in Hungary that just defeated an unfair Internet Tax there, we'll gather after dark at the White House and government buildings nationwide and hold up our glowing cell phones, laptops, tablets, to shine light on the corruption unfolding in Washington, DC that threatens our most basic freedoms. Will you join us on Thursday in front of the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco, CA? If you can't make it, can you spread the word? [2]Yes, I'll share or go to the action in San Francisco on Thursday! The battle for the net is coming to head. Everything you can do right now matters more than you know. Here are the details for the event, please spread the word: What: Vigil in San Francisco for the open Internet When: November 6th, 6pm PST Where: Civic Center Plaza, San Francisco, CA 355 Mcallister St, San Francisco, California 94102 Bring your cell phone, flashlight, or candle! See you there, Demand Progress -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Intro and website note

by Trav

Hi All, Found a flyer for this at Scarlett City coffee, and sounded interesting. As an intro, my name is Trav, I'm a designer/developer in Emeryville. I do front-end work currently, although have done server-side stuff in the past. I'll just be lurking for a bit to find out what goes on here, but I thought I'd note that for the last several days when you navigate to peoplesopen.net, you get a certificate error. You may want to either update your cert, or not auto-redirect to https (which may be better if you don't really need an encrypted connection for most of the content.) Hope that makes sense, happy to provide more info (and sorry if this is off-topic for this list). Trav

connecting to Laney College 5ghz node

by Matthew Senate

hey all, I'd like to implement a connection to the 5ghz node sitting on top of the 7-story building at Laney College. We've got some 5ghz antennas: http://www.l-com.com/wireless-antenna-49-58-ghz-27-dbi-lightweight-die-cast… I believe we do have some 5ghz Ubiquiti Nanostations, but as far as I'm aware we would have to hack them to work with the directional antennas we have around. Sub-ideal. Looking for a cheap alternative, I'm thinking about buying one or two of these Ubiquiti Bullet5 routers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UbiQuiti-Bullet5-5GHz-802-11a-100mW-outdoor-wireles… Does anyone recommend an alternative device? Also, let me know if you want to participate! // Matt

Fwd: Submitting Tax Information to State of California by Nov 7

by Matthew Senate

I just received the same notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board for Sudo Mesh as well. See below for how we're dealing with this for sudo room. // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 12:41 PM Subject: Submitting Tax Information to State of California by Nov 7 To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org>, Board of Responsiblity and Little Power <board(a)lists.sudoroom.org> We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board, notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3 application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year, 2013. I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached: "state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf" which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields. We need a few things: 1. Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!) 2. Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability 3. See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly 4. *Submit before Friday November 7* (30 days from October 9, 2014) "Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100 with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon written request." // Matt
