The film screening tonight is being pushed back to 9:30.
As the Oroboros event upstairs in the ballroom will be starting soon, from
8:30 to 9:30, competeing sounds and a lack of 7:15 attendees mean whomever
wasn't able to make it ealier, but would like to come, can still see the
screening of "Nothing" by Vincenzo Natali.
Perhaps I'll see you at 9:30?
Have a good night, all!

pair programming is a great way to learn and share computer skills. It is
best practiced at a desk where both people can see the same screen, and
each other's face at the same time - and each person has their own
keyboard and mouse.
as you can see here, I made a pair programming station (with help) for us:
http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/sudo/IMG_20141010_021851.jpg
it has everything it needs except for ONE MORE USB MOUSE so if you have an
extra, bring it on. ideally a matching DELL mouse.
also, it has a bad caster wheel on it, which looks like this:
http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/sudo/IMG_20141010_022958.jpg
this is a picture of the good one. If you have a caster like this that is
not broken, please bring it in and put it on the cart.
i'm trying to make it have wireless (it's a desktop computer right now)
which means learning about openWRT, to make a wifi bridge to ethernet.
That way wherever the cart is, it will have internet with spare ethernet
ports, for your beaglebone or whatever you're hacking on to plug into.
but of course, you don't need to use the computer on the cart - you can
plug the VGA cable into your laptop and the USB cable (one for both
keyboards and mice) into your laptop, and use that.
the two monitors are hard-wired to a single VGA cable, and don't try to
change it. i had to make that cable. and the screens are screwed down.
enjoy!

Dear April ,
Thanks again for presenting at LibrePlanet 2014. The next LibrePlanet
will be held March 21-22, 2015 in Cambridge, MA, and the call for
sessions is open now through Sunday, November 2nd. I hope you will
submit a proposal for a talk, panel, workshop, or strategy session for
LibrePlanet 2015.
If you want to run any ideas by me, or have any questions about the
application, don't hesitate to be in touch. The original email with more
details is appended below. Oh, and please pass this along to your
networks if you feel so inspired--we'd be grateful!
Looking forward to your proposals,
Libby Reinish
Campaigns Manager
LibrePlanet 2015 <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> is coming! We're
excited to announce that next year's conference will be held *March
21-22, 2015 in Cambridge, MA*. The Free Software Foundation is teaming
up with the Student Information Processing Board at MIT once again to
bring you a conference you won't want to miss. Our Call for Sessions
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/call_for_sessions/> is open now, and
you can also apply to volunteer
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/> or exhibit
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> at LibrePlanet 2015. General
registration will open in October.
You've got until Sunday, November 2nd, 2014 at 19:59 EST (23:59 UTC) to
submit your proposals <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/>. We
can't wait to see what you come up with!
This year, the theme of LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015>
is "Free Software Everywhere." We're looking for talks that touch on the
many places and ways that free software is used around the world, as
well as ways to make free software ubiquitous. Think "everywhere" in the
broadest sense of the word--it's not just geography-based talks we're
after. What are some contexts where free software is thriving, and some
others where it needs a push? How have you worked to gain a stronghold
for free software in your company or community? And what about free
software on all of the myriad pieces of hardware we use, including
laptops, phones, tablets, and even coffee makers? At LibrePlanet 2015,
we're taking software freedom around the world, to outer space, and
consider its role in industry, government, academia, community
organizing, and personal computing.
Should I submit a session proposal for LibrePlanet?
Yes! We encourage speakers of all experience levels to submit a
proposal. LibrePlanet is a great place for new and seasoned speakers
alike. While LibrePlanet always includes technical talks, our program
also emphasizes non-technical topics and topics that are appropriate for
newcomers. We are especially interested to see proposals from people who
use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic
research to community organizing, education to medicine and the arts.
LibrePlanet is committed to increasing the participation of speakers
belonging to groups traditionally underrepresented at free software
conferences, including women and people of color.
Some ideas for sessions
*
Sharing a story of how free software has been applied for social benefit
*
Tackling a threat or organizing challenge facing the free software
movement
*
Demonstrating a new and exciting piece of software or development
within an existing software project
*
Engaging youth, the future of the free software movement. We're
looking for proposals for all age groups, from young children, to
high school age, to college students
*
Thinking critically about challenges and opportunities facing the
movement, and charting a path to victory
*
Bringing a key part of free software history to life
*
Giving newcomers a way to learn about free software principles and
philosophy, and/or giving newcomers a way to start using free
software in their daily lives
At LibrePlanet, we are looking for sessions that embrace the free
software movement's ideals and also its language. For example, using
"free software" is better than using "open source".
Volunteer for LibrePlanet
LibrePlanet depends on volunteer support during the planning process all
the way through the event. We're looking for volunteers who want to help
us with the planning and preparation work for LibrePlanet. Learn more
about volunteering and sign up at LibrePlanet.org
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/>.
Promotional opportunities at LibrePlanet
LibrePlanet is the perfect place to spread the word about your
organization to an inspired and engaged audience. We have two kinds of
promotional opportunities for LibrePlanet 2015: exhibit tables and
sponsorships. Exhibit tables will be located in a highly visible primary
thoroughfare. Your table and program acknowledgement will reach hundreds
of software developers, free software activists, academics, students,
and computer users. You can apply for an exhibit table at
LibrePlanet.org <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> Exhibitors
will be accepted on a rolling basis until the hall fills, so apply early!
What makes LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> so special is
the amazing contributions from our speakers, exhibitors, and volunteers.
We can't wait to hear your ideas!

Hey all,
there's a 48hr live broadcast of hackathon-like happenings around the
world, HQ'd at Omni Nov 15 & 16. It's called Deconstruction (see
thedeconstruction.org) and it consists of a small crew of people on-site to
manage the video feed and possibly tour Omni.
The organizers asked me about Internet bandwidth... I haven't speed-tested
anything and figured there were folks who knew our capacity better.
Does anyone know the typical and min/max Internet upload/download heft?
Might it be >10mb? >20mb?
curious,
thanks,
Danny
Right now we have 10 lockers at Sudoroom. Most of them have locks, but
no names, so we don't know who uses them. From now on, if you are
using a locker, please:
* label the locker with a name, nym, email or other contact info
* send an email to sudo-discuss or info(a)sudoroom.org to say which
locker you've taken
* pay if you can. right now we are asking $30/month although we're
open to other models.
If some lockers are still unidentified after a month or two, we may
take extreme measures...
Thanks!
fyi!

Here's a great opportunity for folks interested in Internet advocacy. I
talked with Dave while they were putting the fellowship together and it
sounds really exciting.

Subject: We Launched! Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows...
To: Catherine Bracy <bracy(a)codeforamerica.org>
Hi Catherine,
Hope all is well. Thanks so much for the guidance over the past few months.
I’m excited to let you know that we launched the Ford-Mozilla Open Web
Fellows program last week. See the program here: www.mozilla.org/advocacy.
We’re accepting applications for 2015 Fellows now, and I am hoping that you
can help spread the news to your network — seems like an ideal opportunity
for Code for America alumni.
Here is a bit more about the program:
-
Protecting the Internet -- 2015 Fellows will work on a range of issues
-- from net neutrality to privacy to anti-surveillance -- that are core to
protecting the free and open web.
-
Attracting a Diversity of Talent -- Fellows will receive a stipend plus
all sorts of living expense add ons. We want to get the best and most
diverse pool of talent out there.
-
Using Tech to Inform the Policy Discussion -- Fellows will serve as
ambassadors, mentors, and guides to their nonprofit hosts. They will work
in the open helping to better inform the policy discussion throughout civil
society and government.
The application window closes in December. It would be so helpful to the
program — and to building the army to protect the Internet -- if you would
let your network know about the Fellowship opportunity. Let me know what
you think and, if you can help, I’ll send you messaging (tweets, posts,
etc.) to make it easy to spread the news. I’d also love to hear any ideas
you have as we shape and build the program for the future.
Thanks so much!
--Dave

Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space
To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Cc:
Just to update everyone on the proposal for the space I'm hoping to use for
my work at the Omni. If there is consensus on it I'd like to continue
preparing the space this month to move into it in November.
The space I'd like to print in is the old utility room adjacent to the
cafe. Once the kitchen is moved I will move the wall behind the stoves back
to where it is in the floor plans, leaving a hallway that supplies
sufficient egress to the exit.
For the wash out room I would like to use a portion of the upstairs spa
room, as in the drawing below. Although it wold be nice to have that on the
same floor as my shop I'm not sure that installing the plumbing to the area
near the walk in fridge is as feasible financially or time-wise right now.
Perhaps that can be done further down the road.
I'd also like to have a small desk at some shared office space in the
building. Maybe either the ticket room or the old TIL space?
If the delegates approve this proposal I'd like to ask that the utility
room no longer be used to store trash. I am willing to help get the
building some more larger trash cans from waste management if the working
group in charge of those facilities is interested in that.
I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all on Thursday night.
Many thanks!
Gabriela

Two years ago I was given the opportunity to light a fire under the comfy
haunches of some of Oakland's finest hackers. The Sudoroom hosted The Bay's
last screening of Bike Smut, a touring, erotic, bicycle film festival

510 in Oakland. This is the only screening in Oakland.

Adults are not given agency to claim their adulthood in many positive
forms. We need your help in bringing more joyous liberation. Its time to
take control of our sexuality and our transportation!
The only way to see the Bike Smut Film Festival is when it plays for a live
audience. The various artists' interpretations about what is great about
sex and cycling are creative, clever, funny, and aware! Bike Smut has never
been just a single person's vision, rather, a coalition of the horny bring
this synthesis of transportation and sexuality to life.
Past contributors include Gus Van Sant, Courtney Trouble, Madison Young,
Tinto Brass, Pandora Blake, and countless more rad, sex-positive
filmmakers! This years submissions are from Oakland, Vancouver, Chicago,
Gainesville, Montreal, Berlin, Milan and Geneva!
I just rode my bike across Europe for 6 months then rode it south from
Oregon to Oakland. This weekend I start to ride south to LA. Come ask me
about hacking sexual health or better yet make a suggestion about how to do
it better. This project would not be as successful without the combined
brilliance of many curious and passionate minds.
