Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I wanted to reach out for some feedback. Seeking folks who would want to facilitate or participate in a men's group. I've previously participated in small groups like this and found them beneficial for various reasons. I would like to see if folks have had similar or different experiences. The way I'm thinking about this would culminate in something like a regular meeting for men in the sudo room community to discuss relevant issues including those of identity, oppression, privilege, patriarchy, gender, sexuality, stereotypes, safe space, and mutual support. This may not be the best or even a viable path to approach these topics, but I wanted to throw it out there to see if there is any interest. Thanks, Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] Tiny houses made for homeless in West Oak

by Mark Perlin

Fantastic example of making a difference!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Breaking: Oakland to lead country in, diverting anti-terror funding to ubiquitous warrantless surveillance

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.

Friday Filosophy: Software as Speech

by Eddan Katz

Dear Kopimists and the People who Love Them. For the featured Filo delicacy for Friday Filosophy, we will have potato burekas. I propose we talk about the difference between source code, object code, and executable code in regards to 1st Amendment protection. In other words, when is code speech and when is it a speech-act subject to less legal protection? Below is an excerpt from an essay by Lee Tien, a brilliant EFF attorney for more than a decade, on Software as Speech (2000). These two paragraphs are in the section: Viruses and other "dangerous" software. Of course, as always, we can talk about whatever else. Such as conscience and the unconscionable, perhaps. Lee Tien, Publishing Software as a Speech Act, Vol. 15 Berkeley Tech. Law Journal (2000) http://www.law.berkeley.edu/journals/btlj/articles/vol15/tien/tien.html > Let’s return to the virus hypothetical.192 The main concern lies in the fact that the software may be “diverted” toward unlawful purposes, regardless of the speaker’s intent. This concern is, however, not unique to software. It also applies to other types of information usable for mischief or harassment, whether highly technical like information about nuclear weapons, or utterly mundane like a person’s name, address or telephone number. > Even if the virus author merely posts the source code and fails to release it in active form, the issue remains whether the posting was done with an intent to communicate. If the author claims that she intended it to communicate, we would need to examine the context to decide the plausibility of that claim. There will often be a plausible claim. There is no question that people study viruses and other dangerous software in order to prevent or relieve harm.193 One way to control a virus is to publish its source code so that systems operators can disable or protect against it. Communicating a virus’ source code as part of such an effort qualifies as a speech act because the publisher intends to communicate how the virus works in a conventional way. In fact, one could imagine entire journals or Internet sites devoted to viruses and other dangerous software.194 When such publications aim to alert the world to these dangers, their intent is clearly communicative. sent from eddan.com

The RPS Collective was one of the worker’s collectives that helped start the Oakland Art Murmur. Here he checks out the zine library and is already coming up with ideas for different community projects. A recent SudoRoom collaboration involved SudoRoom donating Linux computers to RPS Collective in exchange for a beautiful sign painting. It’s pretty cool seeing the different volunteer-run collectives creating and helping each other out!

Fwd: Announcing Round 8 of Alternative Exposure

by Matthew Senate

Sudo Room received this grant in Round 7, so the grantees are "are NOT eligible to apply again as lead organizers in Round 8" but it seems that: "former grantees (both lead organizers and additional collaborators) from ALL previous rounds may participate in Round 8 applications for *new, completely unrelated projects as collaborators."* >From the FAQ: https://www.soex.org/alternative-exposure/faq *I received an Alternative Exposure grant during one of the past rounds. May I reapply for another grant?* Beginning with Round 7 (2013), select former grantees are eligible to reapply for new projects (not related to projects previously funded by Alternative Exposure). *For Round 8 (2014) only:* If you received an Alternative Exposure grant from Rounds 1-4 (2007-2010), you are eligible to apply again as a lead organizer if 1) you are applying for a completely new, unrelated project, and 2) the first project was successfully completed and the final report was submitted to Southern Exposure. Grantees from Rounds 5, 6 or 7 (2011-2013) are NOT eligible to apply again as lead organizers in Round 8. However, former grantees (both lead organizers and additional collaborators) from ALL previous rounds may participate in Round 8 applications for new, completely unrelated projects as collaborators. *More questions?* Please consider attending an Information Session <https://www.soex.org/alternative-exposure/information-sessions> or contact us at alternativeexposure(a)soex.org or 415-863-2141. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Southern Exposure <newsletter(a)soex.org> Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 10:19 AM Subject: Announcing Round 8 of Alternative Exposure To: Matt Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> The Alternative Exposure Grant Program enters its eighth year!

OMNI Access

by Matthew Senate

QUESTION: Is it appropriate to... Add our list of members from https://sudoroom.org/crm/ (membership database) to the full list of OMNI participants, in order to verify access to the new space? This was brought up by another OMNIer as an interim access solution before we have a more stable one installed. // Matt
