Fwd: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event

by Eddan Katz

Following the Sudo Room norms of transparency - a value I hold in high regard and try to practice to the best of my ability - I am forwarding the invitation I received below from the Bryan Parker 2014 Oakland mayoral race campaign. I have spoken with the campaign previously about the importance of tech policy to the future of economic development in downtown oakland. i have not contributed financially to the campaign - but feel comfortable sharing at this point that I am seriously considering supporting his candidacy. the fact that Bryan Parker made history by being the first candidate to crowdsource his initial fundraising seems like a significant acknowledgement and suggests to me an awareness of the power of peer production. they are interested in holding a roundtable discussion sometime within the next couple months on the subject of innovation and technology. i mentioned sudo room as a potential venue for this event and was planning on trying to move this discussion forward at the event tonight. it is my intention to make the case that oakland's edge could and should be openness and co-operation in the further development. i believe that there is a role municipal government can play in making this happen, in terms of both strategic investments and administrative regulations. > From: "Bryan Parker" <host(a)invite.pingg.com> > Subject: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event > Date: September 25, 2013 5:21:47 PM PDT > To: eddan <eddan(a)eddan.com> > Reply-To: Bryan Parker <usm(a)brightlineconsulting.com> > > > You have been invited by Bryan Parker to First 700 Club Event. > > > > > Dear Friends, > > It is with deep appreciation that I thank you for your generous support of my campaign for Mayor of Oakland 2014.

San Leandro Meet the CIO event report-back

by Eddan Katz

for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up somewhere. Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because of his background in real estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms. > From: "DAcosta" <DAcosta(a)sanleandro.org> > Subject: Summary of this morning's conference call for Meet the CIO event / Sept. 19th > Date: September 12, 2013 4:20:48 PM PDT > To: <mail(a)joelpool.net>, <erin(a)nextspace.us>, <eddan(a)eddan.com>, <eric(a)hackerlab.org> > Cc: <gina(a)hackerlab.org>, <michaelcarilli(a)aol.com> > > Team! > > Thanks again for everyone’s participation this morning. > > 1.

If you’ll need an internet connection, let me know ahead of time. > c. 6:15 to 6:30 – Audience Questions – some flexibility here, questions will probably go longer! > d. 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. – Networking and event end.

website & email hosting

by Eddan Katz

Dear Sudo folk. For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com. I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email. And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long. -Eddan

Fwd: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!

by Marina Kukso

news from double union, the new feminist hackerspace in sf. yay! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 2:15 PM Subject: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space! To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org> We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next steps for Double Union! Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/ http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/ The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good processes to manage the space, building access, and so on! Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once someone other than me has keys. Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to do that until there is more "there" there to talk about. Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist, Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing! https://www.librarything.com/profile/doubleunion Cheers, Liz YOUR FEMINIST HACKER SECRETARY -- Liz Henry lizhenry(a)gmail.com "Electric ladies will you sleep or will you preach?" -- Janelle Monae "Without models, it's hard to work; without a context, difficult to evaluate; without peers, nearly impossible to speak." -- Joanna Russ _______________________________________________ Doubleunion mailing list Doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org http://lists.doubleunion.org/listinfo.cgi/doubleunion-doubleunion.org
