The city council is voting tomorrow on the Domain Awareness Center.
There will be a protest at Oscar Grant Plaza at 6:30 pm. There are strong arguments to wear a mask:
1) A protest is intended to show support or opposition to an idea. It's not about the individual, just the message.
2) A mask may prevent you from getting fired from your job: http://pastebin.com/MMSaL5Pc
3) A mask may suggest to the city council that if they continue with this center that wearing a mask will become a style (in a similar manner as sunglasses) in Oakland and therefore only further complicate law enforcement.
In other words......... I hope I don't see you there tomorrow.

...I feel really awkward proposing this, but lately it seems like the thing
to do with some of the newcomers goes something like this-
1. Get loaded somewhere else
2. Head to Sudo
3. ???
4. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! (and/or pass out, depending)
As someone who used to do this on a nightly basis, I kind of get it but
even in my finer moments I don't think I would have shown up at a space
where people were trying to work and expected a warm reception. And, as
someone who has chosen to embrace sobriety I have no quarrel with people
who haven't, but since I haven't really developed the patience required to
deal with drunk folks yet I tend to retreat or act somewhat distant towards
them. Sometimes this results in them chasing me around the space because
they want to "hang out," especially if I'm working on music stuff...that's
okay if they can do so in a non-disruptive manner, but I'm kind of screwed
if they can't so I'm more or less forced to deal with them or (sacre bleu!)
leave Sudo to try to get shit done.
What I am NOT proposing is making Sudo a sober space. If it comes to that,
sure, but as a first measure I think it's heavy handed and doesn't really
serve the interests of the community that can have a couple of beers and
function equally well as without. I think what I am asking is that we, as a
group, need to send the message that Sudo is not the afterparty, and that
if it continues to be treated like one that the individuals involved will
be asked to leave for the night. I think being somewhat forgiving in this
situation is probably not a bad idea...and of course, repeated behavior of
this sort will probably be brought up in a meeting (i.e. is having *****
around worth it?) and appropriate action will be taken.
Needless to say, Sudo/BAPS events would be more or less exempt since the
actual drinking will be taking place here and any situations that arise
from said drinking will be dealt with as needed.
I would like to hear what everyone has to say about this.

This cryptoparty took place on 16 February 2014 with no less than 20
engaged attendees :)
==Areas of Interest==
*Mobile security
*Backups (especially photos)
*Cyanogenmod
*Threat Modelling
*VOIP
*Installing Linux
*Installing Lastpass
*Running DNSSEC
*Playing with alternative, secure email systems
*Chat/OTR on Android
*Image metadata
==Agenda==
*Intros and what you're looking to get out of this cryptoparty
*Why security is important
*Split up into groups:
**Mobile security
**Lastpass (password management)
**Threat modelling (eg; activists on the street)
==Takeaways==
*GPG
*Tails is hard to get running on my machine
*TextSecure is easy!
*Helped people set up secure chats, emails, and texting
*Great one-on-one conversations
*Learned a good deal about Keypass and got it running with help!
*Learned about F Droid - an app store for procuring APKs without going
through GOogle Play
*Made a self-signed certificate and locked down CalDav
*Threat modeling - we're not much better prepared than we were with Occupy.
As an iPhone user, I'm pretty screwed no matter what. Need to talk to
lawyers re: handing over keys and such
*DNSSEC sucks! DNS is already terrible, but DNSSEC makes it worse! Clients
don't use it, registrars don't accommodate it, and if you try to use it
you're in for a headache.
*The latest version of Cyanogenmod forces you to use their cloud for your
contacts, which now must be sync'd with a cloud.
*Suggestion: Cryptoparty Movie Night!
*Suggestion: Linux Install Parties
*Feedback: Splitting the group into "let's do this now" and general
discussion was a great idea!
*Homemade vs. commercial Faraday cages for phones, and general physical
security
*How to make this knowledge more palatable to the general public? Comics
etc;
*Best cryptoparty yet! Folks came with specific questions; paired off
really smoothly; no uber-techie debates taking place; specific tasks and
breakout topics.

Please let me know if you foresee any conflicts - I didn't notice any on

Subject: [sudo-discuss] someone hacking the SudoRoom Wiki
Date: Fri, Feb 7, 2014 15:58
Hey, I just fixed a hack on the SudoRoom main page.
Someone is hacking the SudoRoom Wiki - I don't know who, I know this probably happens often. Are there safety precautions?
https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Sudoroom&action=history
I undid the "hardcore jerkey action" - and I saw that someone also undid this shortly before I went on the page.
Any idea wh'os doing this?
