Hey all, In an effort to throw together a promo for the collective-of-collectives, Joel from Timeless Infinite Light was hoping to film Sudo and BAPS at work in the space tomorrow. Matt S. has sent him the opt-in policy on filming at Sudo room, so he's up on that. He's hoping to film / photograph a bit basically everywhere - in the common room, in sudo, in baps, and the back (east) room along broadway that George is opening for the BAPS class that will be held in there. FYI Joel doesn't want to 'interview' anyone or have anything overtly expository, more like just show brief clips of people in action / quitely doing their thing. Close ups of computer screens? putting radios together? who knows but, I wanted to give everyone a head's up - let me know if you have any questions et al - I will also be there. David

Please go to this. The event will serve two purposes: EXCITING SPEAKERS! In particular, Silvia Federici is a world-famous anarcha-feminist who literally wrote the book on large chunks of medieval european womens' history. Her revolutionary consciousness spans millennia. I'm pretty sure she exists outside of linear time. SUDOROOM'S FUTURE! We could move into a giant building with a bunch of other groups and own it. We could really do it. Really! Come see the building. There will be tours starting at 6pm (talks at 7). Also meet people from the many other groups and talk to them about how great it would be to move in together and how we're going to do it. I really hope to see you all there.

At The Omni: Sylvia Federici and George Caffentzis on Capital, Labor and Reproduction

by Andrew

Hey Sudoers, Come check out this even at The (soon to be) Omni Collective space this weekend! Saturday March 22nd 6pm: https://www.facebook.com/events/1398000470462548/ Join Silvia Federici, Peter Linebaugh, and George Caffentzis for a discussion on Reproduction, Labor, and Capital at the Omni (4799 Shattuck Ave) in Oakland on Saturday, March 22nd. Please click the link below for details. George is author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the Crisis of Capitalism. Silvia is author of Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle. Peter is author of Stop, Thief!: The Commons, Enclosures, and Resistance. George will present his latest work, In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and Value (PM Press, 2013) a collection of essays that draw upon a careful reading of Marx's thought to elucidate political concerns encompassing twenty-first-century capitalism, information technology, immaterial production, financialization, and globalization. Emphasizing class struggles that have proliferated across the social body of global capitalism, Caffentzis shows how a wide range of conflicts and antagonisms in the labor-capital relation express themselves within and against the work process. He will also discuss his recent PM release, The Debt Resisters' Operations Manual. Sylvia Federici's Revolution at Point Zero (PM Press, 2012) collects forty years of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women's struggles on this terrain--to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in "alienated labor" is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with Federici's organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons. Peter's Stop, Thief! is a majestic tour de force that akes aim at the thieves of land, the polluters of the seas, the ravagers of the forests, the despoilers of rivers, and the removers of mountaintops. Scarcely a society has existed on the face of the earth that has not had commoning at its heart. "Neither the state nor the market," say the planetary commoners. These essays kindle the embers of memory to ignite our future commons. The Bay Area Public School is a school with no curriculum. It is not accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything. -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

hacker schools discussion

by Romy Ilano

FYI: I know a lot of the people running the hacker schools and who have graduated from them. I think most of these schools are legit, but I'm wondering if that is because it is due to the location (SF Bay Area) and the very high talent pool here. None of these bootcamps claims to replace a university education, they are offering a very different thing. I'm spooked by people who would advocate replacing an education with vocational bootcamps. I don't see these bootcamps competing with computer science departments at universities. I can see a lot of potential abuse occurring as well: - 1997 New Yorker article on the University of Phoneix, a for-profit institution: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1997/10/20/1997_10_20_114_TNY_CARDS_000379… >>> Message: 10 Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 18:22:50 -0800 From: Pete Forsyth <peteforsyth(a)gmail.com> To: GtwoG PublicOhOne <g2g-public01(a)att.net> Cc: Sudo room <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] "learn to code" events subject to full-WTF scale crackdown...any ideas? Message-ID: <CAGWts0Gg0pb- Gw4mLX9DdVxkcSNR2iEsksf1okHOKbpuKD=-Zg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I think Sudo Room has a stake in the existence of effective hacker-training programs, regardless of whether they are offered *by* Sudo Room. So, thanks Hol for posting the link. I agree with GtwoG that there is some possibility for abuse; but neither the article nor the agency's web site offer a concise presentation of what it means to "be in compliance". Is the agency throwing up regulations that will deter good work? It's hard to tell! I posted this to a couple email lists in the Wikipedia space, so check out these discussions too if interested: * http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2014-January/thread.html * http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-sf/2014-January/thread.html -Pete peteforsyth.com ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
