just a reminder that you and all your friends are invited to the women's
variety show taking place at sudo (in the ballroom, not inside sudo itself)
tomorrow night!
it's free and starts at 7:30PM.
more details here: https://sudoroom.org/upcoming-event-womens-variety-show/
i hope to see you all!

Hi all!
We are in the last stages of preparations to launch Omni's crowdfunding
campaign next weekend, and we need your help!
Please use this thread to brainstorm on perks we could offer, keeping in
mind that *experiences* are cheaper to produce and more interesting to
donors than shwag.
* Would any sudoers be interested in co-hosting maker workshops?
* How about making robot drawings (and recording the robot drawing it)
based on SVG images people send in?
* Can anyone bottom-line making 3D printed magnets? Or 3D printed something
or others?
* Marc and I are going to be putting together hackpacks <http://hackpack.me>
that people can buy for themselves or for us to donate to a teenager.
* Maybe we could offer a 'teleconference with a hacker'?
* Anything you can think of!
Fact of the day: 85% of successful campaigns raise 1/3 of their goal in the
first 72 hours. Please prep friends in your networks now for a donation
next week!
<3

Hi all,
I'm glad to see the JavaScript meetups resuming! While I've never been
able to attend, I like to refer people.
Is it okay if I post it on the Oakland Beginner Prorammers Support Meetup
Group (which I inherited recently)?
Cheers,
Anca.

I'm removing it, because nobody ever shows up to host.
I'll re-add it if someone can make an excellent case for why it should
remain!

Dear all,
I've been in touch with one of the organizers of Catalyst Project, an
anti-racist organization that educates and trains organizations/movements,
and they're requesting use of our space on Dec. 14th or Dec. 16th for an
event that would include 150-200 people.
I'm pushing forward and letting the organizer know that we can provide the
Ballroom for either of these dates. Please let me know ASAP if there's any
possible conflicts.
I feel strongly that we do our best to provide this space for Catalyst at
this time as we need to step up and provide whatever support and solidarity
we can for the PoC community.
Let me know if you'd like to help bottom-line this event. I expect there
will be a lot of new folks coming into our space for the first time, people
that we'd like to open relationships with now and into the future.
with love
st

I'm never comfortable with any kind of video surveillance. If it's
just pointed at a machine in the corner of CCL or something I wouldn't
make a fuss, but if it's recording common areas or access routes I
would. Whether we run facial recognition is moot - if a digital image
exists, it will be run through facial recognition software sooner or
later. That's life in the botnet of things.
We should also note that La Commune has already been facilitating
conversations for their own security needs, which right now means
locking up bookshelves when they close the store. It would be really
good if we could help them ASAP.
hi all,
the audio setup that was in the ballroom about a month ago when a couple of
us did an audio inventory for this saturday's variety show is no longer in
the same spot.
could someone please let me know where the amp, speakers, and their
connectors are?
thank you!

Yes, we probably should start thinking about some of these things. I'm
CC'ing sudo as well, since they may be able to help out with some of the
technological solutions.
A couple ideas I've mulled over in the past:
- Tags for equipment that shouldn't leave the building, a scanner at the
door that can detect them when they do, and a camera to record who's taking
it through the door. Could be combined with Marc's inventory system, of
course. (And could also be used to check out tools legitimately...)
- Motion or IR controlled lights to discourage stowaways (would need to be
sufficiently hard to disable). Plus maybe an overview panel (physical or
online) showing where and when movement was last detected in the building,
to assist people in closing up for the night.
- Lights illuminating the new bike parking when it gets installed
- Indoor bike parking with some form of access control (swipe card?)
- Equip outside doors with an alarm that starts beeping when the door stays
propped open for more than x minutes.
- How much video surveillance are we as a community willing to tolerate? Is
there an acceptable tradeoff between enhancing personal and property
safety, and respecting privacy? A static and well-advertized camera trained
at a piece of valuable infrastructure may be OK. A building-wide
surveillance system that can track people from room to room with facial
recognition presumably isn't OK. Can we agree on where that boundary lies?
- Put up signs to remind people that they are being video taped from the
apartment building across the intersection. That's a useful PSA for our own
community anyway.
