The Internet is great because it belongs to all of us equally. It's a level
playing field -- whether you want to promote your music, apply for a job,
play a game or start a business. But that could soon change.
The web as we know it today is founded on the principle of *'Net Neutrality*:'
The idea that "content" should be given the same priority no matter who
it's coming from and who it's going to. Policymakers in the U.S. are
currently considering whether or not to adopt rules that protect Net
Neutrality. Millions of people asked them to. Even President Obama (
http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality).
*Come learn more about your digital rights and what Net Neutrality means
for you – and actions you can take!*
** Speakers **
We will have *speakers from really cool organizations* who can talk about
these issues and their impact.
*MALKIA CYRIL* is founder and director of the Media Action Grassroots
Network (MAG-Net) at the Center for Media Justice. For more than a decade
MAG-Net's 175 member groups have worked together to expand media access and
rights for marginalized communities. http://mag-net.org/

hi all,

dec. 6th.
i know that there was a nice projector setup that we had for BACH. could
someone please let me know where the pieces are for that system?
thanks,
marina
Hi all,
The sean I am speaking of is not the awesome sean of Spaz fame here, but
the guy with dreads.
A lot of us have known him from around, for a while. I've seen him crashing
at various group houses and generally around since about 2006 going back to
Apgar days, if anyone remembers that house.
He says he is a sudoer, although I am not sure if he is or ain't. I suspect
he ain't.
I know Sean has cognitive difficulties, but after watching him dump about a
pint of coffee on the ground and simply refuse to take any time to clean it
up because he had 'other priorities', I am not happy to have him sharing
our space.
After Niki and I confronted him after much - much - haranguing, he
eventually got a mop and cleaned it up, yelling at me about some total
nonsequitur like how I should care more about Max from FNB being hurt than
him cleaning up his own mess (as it happens I drove Max to hospital the
other day right after that happened, but whatever.)
This is the second time I have had to confront sean about something like
this while I have barely been around this last month, but I suspect a lot
people don't engage with him when stuff like that happens, so I'm
guessing it probably happens frequently.
Since he identifies with sudo, I would like to ask Sean to come to a Sudo
meeting where he can can be informed as to the the general attitude of
respect towards the space and people in it. If anyone can mention this to
him or if you know his email?
I would like to ask that Sean be unwelcome here until he does come to a
sudo meeting. If he is not a sudoer but a guest of a sudoer, I would like
to know who will be responsible for dude when he is here, cleaning up after
him, etc.
I do not think sean is a bad person, just totally in his own
world really, and because of that self-centeredness, mental issues or not,
he is just uncaring about how he treats others and his environment. I can't
believe he expected others, on their hands and knees stocking the fridge
full of donated food, to clean up his own mess that he basically pored
right in front of them to kneel in. It's just not at all cool.

hi all,
does anyone know if there's a working desktop at sudo that we can take
apart and put back together? this would be for a class for workshop weekend
<http://workshopweekend.net> to demonstrate what the different parts of a
computer are and how they work. (it's ok if it's a very old computer.)

Hi Bay Area Net Neutrality activists,
My friend Julia is spreading the word about a hearing on Net Neutrality at
the SF City Hall coming up next week.
Please check out the forwarded message for more info...
---
Obama has made it clear: He wants real Net Neutrality.1
Obama's bold statement on Monday marks a critical turning point in the
fight for the open Internet -- but we haven't won yet. We need to keep the
pressure on until the FCC listens to the president and the public and does
the right thing.
We know so many folks like you in the Bay Area care deeply about this issue
-- so we're working with our allies to set up a space for you to speak out.
On Thurs., Nov. 20, we're co-hosting Bay Area Speaks: A People's Hearing on
the Future of the Internet.
We need as many people as possible to speak out in favor of real Net
Neutrality. Can you be there?
<http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163>
We've got some great participants lined up -- former FCC Commissioner
Michael Copps, Jay Nath of the Mayor's Office of Civic Innovation, Corynne
McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Ana Montes of the Utility
Reform Network and Amy Sonnie of the Oakland Public Library -- but YOU are
the true star of the event.
We've set aside lots of time for you to share your stories and push the FCC
to save Net Neutrality and stop Comcast from taking over the Internet.
*Here are the details:*
*What: *Bay Area Speaks: A People's Hearing on the Future of the Internet
*When:* Thurs., Nov. 20: Doors open at 6 p.m. for light refreshments; the
hearing starts at 7 p.m.
*Where:* San Francisco City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place
*Who:* We're partnering with our allies at ColorOfChange.org, Common Cause,
the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Media Action Grassroots Network
(MAG-Net) and the Media Alliance to host this event.
*RSVP:* Sign up here. <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163>This
event is free and open to the public.
This is your chance to speak out alongside other activists in your area.
<http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163>
Your voice matters -- can you join us?
Hope to see you there!
Julia, Mary Alice and the rest of the Free Press team

P.S. Help spread the word. Forward this email to your friends and neighbors!

Thanks for an awesome meeting everyone!
The discussion. The food. Just everything.
The only thing bad about it was that I feel kinda sorry for the sudoers who
missed it.

Hey everyone! I totally forgot that I was suppose to be hosting newbie
night tonight. Would somebody who's already there be willing to cover for
me, just in case a newbie actually shows up? It's suppose to run from 5
until 7.

Shotspotters are microphones. They can capture other sounds and it is
not clear how many other sounds and how long those sounds are retained.
Their use would be less controversial if they were an oracle that just
spit out 4 .40 caliber rounds were fired at the intersection of Grand
and Broadway at 23:12:32 (15 seconds ago) instead of capturing any audio
at all.
