Re: [sudo-discuss] there are no LPFM slots on the FM band in the bay area, period.

So you can inflict a $20,000 fine on Sudo Room as quickly as > humanly possible? it takes a long time and a lot of work and listeners before you even get the ten-day warning, let alone an unenforcable fine. Don't forget that Berkeley Liberation Radio has been broadcasting for almost ten years now, interrupted more often by their own failures than by two FCC raids where the FCC basically snatched their equipment and fled like cowards. No one at BLR has ever been successfully "fined", and even the NAL (Notice of Apparent Liability) filed against Stephen Dunifer of FRB before them has just sat uncollected, like almost all NALs against pirates, for twenty years now. Stephen's very public response to the Notice of Apparent Liability was "Apparently not." The FCC's fine enforcement mechanism is to threaten to revoke your stations lisence. This works when they fine lisenced broadcasters for the seven deadly words or whatever, but filed against an unlisenced person it's a joke. Witness the fine against Daniel Robert of Pirate Cat Radio, which is an example of a person who put his full name all over everything and even corresponded with the FCC in the mail, making it personal. They haven't even collected anything from him. here's the story of pirate cat's fine: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/10/fcc-fines-monkey-man-radio-pirat… The point is, if sudoroom decides as a group to broadcast a signal from the roof or wherever (we can stream over the internet you know) then sudoroom can decide for itself whether it wants to keep going after getting a "ten day notice to cease broadcasting" If that EVER happens. http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-264276A1.html and if a broadcast is not coming from the building where sudoroom is, then it is not even a matter for sudoroom to have to decide on. Sudoroom can continue to have an internet streaming radio station and leave it at that.

Table at Oakland Nights Live?

by Jeremy Dalmas

Sudo-ers, I mailed this list a couple weeks ago, but wanted to ask again. For the next Oakland Nights Live, on the evening of November 9th, we are having a series of booths to visit rather than a proper stage show. There will be a variety artists, performers, and informers who will interact with a few audience members at a time. We would love to have 1 or 2 people from the Sudo room have a booth or do a demonstration if any of you are excited about it. I'd be happy to answer any questions, and I can give you more info to anyone who is interested. Thanks for any interest and thanks in general for sharing the space with us. -Jeremy

Hi everyone, Berkeley Wikipedia editathon on Nov 16: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Meetup/Berkeley/2013/Nov16 !

It will look very similar to the page for the previous one (ok, I copied most of it). Please add any edits that occur to you. I will run down and take a picture of the South Branch since the one on the BPL page doesn't have rights info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Berkeley/2013/Nov16 I hope some folks can make it. Note that this branch has been newly renovated and includes the tool lending library, one of the few of its kind. It also is next door to the Wat Mongkolratanaram Buddhist temple (known for its Sunday brunch, and whose article needs citations). I'll keep hacking away at the page over the next few days. kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle(a)kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf

math and machine learning classes

by Mike Schachter

Hi sudoroom! A little while back I mentioned an interest in starting classes that work towards data literacy, and wanted to give an update with some ideas and plans, with the hope that people who are interested in helping out or already doing similar things would come out of the woodwork. First - I've heard about the morning math meetups through the list and think it sounds great. My partner and I want to teach a hands-on curriculum for "Math Literacy" to interested people of all educational backgrounds. It would include everything from arithmetic to algebra to geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. I'm hoping to even have a basic introduction to plotting functions and working with arrays using web-based python terminals. I want to find interested students and teachers, so if any of this appeals to you, please let me know! I'm going to make a trip out to sudoroom probably in two weeks, perhaps we could meet up and talk about it. I'll be at Noisebridge this Tuesday as well. Second - I'm going to restart machine learning classes at Noisebridge, and am also looking for interested students and teachers. The ML wiki page, along with a link to join the mailing list, is here: https://www.noisebridge.net/Machine_Learning See you soon, mike

temporary email suspensions

by Eddan Katz

That having been said, I also would stand by Marc's actions. There should be some way to put a temporary suspension on an email address in the immediate term to stop a barrage of emails as a cooling off mechanism. I think it's worth acknowledging how thankless a job running a listserv can be and thank Marc for doing it for as long as he has, with very little help, and while being admirably responsive. I've never done that job myself, and don't envy the position.

How Giovanni has tried to go about convincing everyone of that has clearly been counter-productive.

Re: [sudo-discuss] cargo tricycle & burley bike trailer on CL

by Eddan Katz

Could this proposed list be more broadly a community marketplace, that allows people to offer their goods or services specifically to the sub-section of Sudo folks opt-in interested? I would imagine that such an exchange would also encourage barter of goods and services within the community. In the long term, perhaps an alternative commodity exchange could be supported.
