my workplace is getting rid of 2 very nice tables/desks that would be
appropriate for sudo room/omni on the condition that they be picked up from
our office in the mission in SF.
the desks are these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S89842465/
they are 63" x 31.5" and pretty much in perfect condition.
they come with 2 optional desk chairs.
if you would be willing to come get them from SF sometime in the next week
(they need to be out by 5/30), please let me know.
thank you!

Hiya, sudoroom.
I was visiting the space earlier this week. Quite a lovely place y'all have
there. My home base is in Akron, Ohio, where I am returning to this Sunday
night.
It was a pleasure to meet you folks. I certainly do plan on returning to the
bay area in the near future for various reasons, including visiting you
wonderful folks again :)
Thanks for the hospitality <3

gasifier to methane digester, the Fab Lab is an incubator for new ideas in
a solutionary future. The space is better suited for metal and wood
working, soldering, custom bike frame & trailer fabrication. We have shared
equipment including a welder, chop saw, band saw, drill press and several
hand tools. We are looking for others to bring their own equipment to share
with other makers, so we can create a more robust and versatile working
environment.
Daytime use 10am to 6pm is consistently available. Most evenings til 10pm
is also available, although there are occasional activities in the
adjoining Art Barn that may require quiet due to the nature of the event

like.

Hey all,
See this opening festival schedule:
http://www.theflightdeck.org/blog/the-flight-deck-opening-festival-schedule
This week I spoke with Trevor runs the co-working space Oakstop down on
18th and Broadway. He was invited to join a panel about co-working on
Tuesday June 10th for the opening festival of http://theflightdeck.org/. He
mentioned the organizers wanted to get in touch with other co-working
spaces in the area for that panel.
I put Trevor in touch with Anca from Tech Liminal. However, I wanted to
reach out to the sudo room community since Trevor offered that he'd connect
us with the organizers of this event about having a sudo room
representative on the panel.
Hub Oakland is also going to be on the panel, and the panel itself seems to
be advertised at an attendance fee. I presume the fee contribute to
proceeds for The Flight Deck, which /is/ a non-profit.
What do ya'll think? I was offered to join the panel, but I think we could
send any one of us once we're put in touch with the panel organizers and if
we'd like to.
I thought it could be good to show that balance of the types of spaces that
folks /do/ creative work at in Oakland, and especially downtown.

there was a rather disturbingly large fire at the crippled Fukushima plant
on the evening of the 20th.
so if it rains in the next few days,
it would be wise to keep kids, especially very young ones, out of it.
at least so my conscience bids me inform you all.
video proof below.
have a nice day.

Should Oakland endorse Prop 42? CMs Kalb and Kaplan are putting a
resolution to the Council tonight to support this new law; final vote.
They're inviting the public to speak on tonight, agenda item #16. I'll be
stepping out for a minute this evening to speak in favor. - Phil
Text:
Resolution in SUPPORT of California Proposition 42 - Constitutional
Amendment to protect the public's right to know by requiring compliance by
local agencies with the Public Records Act and the Brown Act for open
meetings
WHEREAS, public transparency and freedom of information safeguards are of
significant importance to and benefit for the citizens of Oakland and
California and the integrity of government; and
WHEREAS, the California Public Records Act, passed in 1968, is a critical
tool
for the public and the press and facilitates obtaining government records,
awareness of the activities of government, and effective advocacy in the
interests of the community; and
WHEREAS, the Ralph M. Brown Act, passed in 1953, guarantees the public's
right to attend and participate in legislative bodies of local agencies,
including boards, commissions, and councils; and
WHEREAS, state and local governments have been in disagreement regarding
the amount of state financial support that is required address the costs to
local
governments with complying with these transparency laws and, at times,
local agencies have used the failure of the state to reimburse their costs
as an excuse for not complying with the transparency laws; and
WHEREAS, requiring the state to reimburse local governments for compliance
costs with these laws does not encourage local governments to take steps to
reduce their compliance costs, such as through proactive transparency
procedures; and
WHEREAS, California Proposition 42 on the June 2014 ballot would secure the
California Public Records Act and the Ralph M. Brown Act in the State
Constitution and relieve the State from paying for local governments' costs
of compliance with these open government laws; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That the Oakland City Council hereby endorses Proposition 42.

Subject: [sfchalkboard] looking for open-web enthusiasts and programmers
To: sfchalkboard at lists.riseup.net
Hi All
We are looking for some skilled freelance programmers to help out on a
project for the next couple of months, with the possibility of extension.
We received a grant to create a collaborative web platform to support
open/participatory data, and digital story-telling centered around water
crisis. The idea is to develop a web resource, combining government and
activist-science datasets that both publicizes issues of water
contamination and serves to build resilience and political change on these
issues.
The content of the website will be generated through our community
organizing and community-based participatory research. We are looking for
self-driven folks who have worked in some of following - jekyll,
angular.js, html5, node.js, python, - or are generally experienced at web
development and data visualization. There are currently two people working
on the tech development side of the project and we are expecting whoever
joins to work collaboratively and divide tasks with them.
Because we are a new organization and working on a starting budget we are
looking for people who are interested in the project because they support
open data and the community nature of the project. We are able to pay
stipends and compensation is negotiable depending on experience.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the job or project.
If
interested, please send a resume and some examples of projects you have
completed to [ask Vicky for contact info]
