Hi all,
Marc and I are currently tap-tap-tapping away on a grant application
for $100/250/500k due tomorrow at midnight. We have the honor of being
fiscally sponsored for this application by Media Alliance, an Oakland
nonprofit supporting citizen media, advocacy and youth technology
education. They are awesome!
I've been diving deep back into the Oakland broadband feasibility
study published in 2009:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Oakland#Research
In pursuit of more recent information on the state of Oakland
organizations addressing the digital divide, and Internet access more
generally, here's what I've been reading:

^ This one even mentions the Oakland North article on Sudo Mesh, with
the accompanying phrase "has largely been met with political
gridlock." I've written to Susan Mernit asking for a correction to the
article and updating her on where we're actually at - and offering to
write an article on our project.
I'm going to reach out to Kevin at the East Bay Broadband Consortium,
and set up a meeting to talk about how we could work together.
Your feedback, links to other articles/studies, appreciated.
I'll be documenting the local stuff here:

Mesh the planet!
