Every Sunday Occupy Oakland meets at OGP (e.g. Frank Ogawa Plaza) at
2PM for what is rather grandiloquently still referred to as General
Assembly, but lately it has been colder then the proverbial bucket
full of penguin guano and we would like to have our meetings at the
sudoroom common space through the end of January if no one objects
unduly. These days GA is perhaps a dozen folks, mostly dotards like
me, unfortunately predominantly cursed with a Y chromosome. We
almost never riot and torch the town these days, mostly just rehash
the previous weeks' political actions and plan the next weeks'
protests against the evil empire. These days our main focus is
labor & debtor solidarity, anti-repression organizing (e.g.
police brutality and surveillance), and attempts to protect the
commons & the environment.

Also, we would like to participate in the crypto-parties next Sunday
and in January. We certainly want to figure out how to protect our
own communications from being unduly monitored by the state and
Daniel & I may try and train a few of our folks how to use the
Wordpress interface for our web site. Anywho, I plan to attend the
sudoroom weekly meeting tomorrow after the Oakland
Privacy Working Group meeting and see if anyone objects to our
presence for the next month and a half.

I'd be honored to have occupy as our guests!
Careful though, you might run into some trans folks and biohackers,
neither of whom you want to make offhand comments about chromosomes
to.
It's nice to know that SudoRoom (www.sudoroom.org) in Oakland, our sister
hackerspace, has instituted lockers. we could ask them for any learnings,
fails, etc.
Hey SudoRoom -
how have your lockers been going? Anything that works or doesn't work for
you?

Hello, I was asked to post this message about a bunch of possible parts here by a member. Let me know if anyone finds this useful.
My name is Gideon Weisberg, and work I with the non-profit Riekes Center in Menlo Park (mentoring in sports, fitness, the arts, music, and nature awareness). Years ago (10?) we were given a Bod-Pod to allow the fitness department to offer a (then) state-of-the-art body assessment system to low-income students, as well as the other athletes who train at our center.
While at the time this version of the Bod-Pod system ran about $50,000, it is now obsolete. It likely has lots of useful parts for a tinkering lab. I am looking for ways to find a new home for the system, and am especially interested in helping any useful parts find their way into innovative reuse or educational programs (or at least becomes somebody's weird furniture/studio prop).
Any proceeds from selling this system will go directly into our programs (the first $750 I can raise will be buying new tires for our passenger van). The Bod Pod (with it's computer station, manual, and calibration/maintenance records) can be delivered within the Bay Area.
I am open to thoughts and suggestions regarding the ultimate fate of this devise. I don't want it to go in a land-fill.
Thank you for your consideration,
