by Marina Kukso

thought folks here might be interested. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rebecca Kahn <bekka(a)p2pu.org> Date: Thu, May 15, 2014 at 3:06 AM Subject: Join the Open Coalition, and Help us Build a Better Open World To: Dear friends in the open world We're insanely proud to announce the launch of the Open Coalition - a collaborative project for all organisations working in the open space. Since late 2013 is has been apparent that many organisations working in the field of open share areas of overlap. The Coalition aims to eliminate duplication, keep lines of communication between organisations and communities strong and open and help develop closer ties between open groups. The project has been initially funded by Wikimedia UK, and is proud to include Creative Commons, Open Knowledge and Open Streetmap as first-phase collaborators. In order to celebrate this exciting new collaboration, we'd like to invite any organisations in London to an Open Coalition Meet & Greet: When: Mon, May 19, 4pm Where: Wikimedia UK Office and online Why? To help us start building the Open Coalition We'll also have a dial-in set up for those who are outside the UK, so everyone can take part. Can't make it to the Meet & Greet? There are some simple things you can do to get involved and help us build the coalition: Follow @opencoalition on Twitter for all the latest news Tweet this: Help spread open collaboration across the web. Join the #opencoalition Send us an email: stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk or bekka(a)p2pu.org Join the coalition - get involved on this wiki<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Open_Coalition>(later to be followed by a shared presence) and help to shape the project as it grows

DearFCC petition by the Electronic Frontier Foundation

by Vicky Knox

Sign it here: https://www.dearfcc.org/ For background on the latest drama in net neutrality, try this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/net-neutrality-issue-puts… I wrote about this one nonprofit community technology org I am a member of and how this could potentially put us in a position where we would have to sacrifice our communications reach in order to continue providing free technology access and training.

Announcing changes to articles of association

by Marc Juul

These additions to our articles of association were consensed upon at the previous sudo room meeting. I think they may not have been announced: = Article 5. Empowerment of members = == Section 5.1 Non-member access == * To empower members to deal with problematic non-members: ** Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets (and require the non-member in question to vacate the physical space) at any time, with no reason given, unless some other member currently present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member in question as a guest. ** Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the non-member in question to vacate the physical space), the member must ask both the non-member and the members present in the space if any member is vouching for the non-member as a guest. ** For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate the physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may return after 12 hours. == Section 5.2 Domestic Use == The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the abundance of resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of those resources is unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to fulfill the basic human need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a creative community and hacker space, must maintain a division between habitation and usage of the space. As such the following are resolved: * sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic purposes. * No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time. * Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must leave immediately. * Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its physical space. ----------------- Our current articles of association are always available here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association

by Vicky Knox

I'm down to train folks in basic wiki editing and create documentation for future trainings! I also reached out to a friend who I've trained in the past, to see if they'd be interested in joining in and bringing their perspective. I/We will be at the next Monday meeting to chat with folks about their needs and interests. ;]

Redirect of the "Gentrification" Thread into a more encompassing awareness.

by Oren Beck

There's a set of presumptions that can inherently defy our best efforts at redirection even when we can offer concrete factual refutations. I unhesitatingly use the phrase "Breaking Set&Setting" as a most apt one, Call it an "Anti-Fnord! so to speak... Do look up the ancestry of the terms if they're not old friends:) Summary- We've a set and setting that demands inflation of rents as if it were desirable, or even mandatory. the end result is inevitable yet NOT mandatory. Can we discuss strategies to fix the Rent Problem? Oren Beck 816.632.3695
