Walked up in the Sudoroom like what up, I'm cfarivar

by Cyrus Farivar

Hey all, Cyrus (suh-ROOS) here. My day job is at Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/author/cyrus-farivar/) where I write about business, tech policy, privacy and surveillance. I'm also the author of "The Internet of Elsewhere" (http://amzn.to/lVg5Cj) a book about the history and effects of the Internet in four countries around the world. I also love Oakland, tacos and biking—the East Bay Express gave me a "Best Bike Tour" award back in 2010 for my "Tour de Taco." (http://bit.ly/ZszktY) I also am active in radio, and have done lots of reporting for NPR and other public radio. I lived and worked for two years ('10-'12) in Germany, working for Deutsche Welle English (German intl public radio). I've also lived in France, Senegal, Australia and Switzerland. (French is my best foreign language, but I speak some German, Persian and Spanish too.) I met Matt at the Techliminal party the other and am curious to meet the Sudoroom community. I came by the space today and worked for a little bit and am hoping to become a member. I have a standing engagement on Wednesday nights but I'm hoping to come to a meeting sometime next month.

Help with a senior thesis project studying the effects of the internet on young minds

by Anca Mosoiu

Hi everyone, Meet Kevin. He's a senior at Met West High School, where they do a senior thesis project. Kevin is looking at the effects of the internet on young people, and how to get them focused more productively. If you'd like to be interviewed, let me know - we can pick up a time to invite Kevin to the Sudo room and talk to a few people at once. I know you have some opinions (and experience...) about this. :) Here's his proposal summary: My project idea is to help young people become aware and know what the internet and technology are doing to the planet and to our brains. Not only are young people, millennials, wasting their time on the internet with social networking sties, but they don’t gain anything educational and useful or for financial benefit while on these sites. One thing they are losing is time on the internet for social networking and not accomplishing work or homework with the same effort and competence. We should care because it is controlling people and just making them spend most of their time on the sites. Recent studies show that technology is changing how our brain works; reading, concentration, contemplation and our capacity, which are also losing the full abilities of the human brain. Since we depend on technology so much, I want to make people aware of how our brain is being impacted and find different ways that we can minimize our loss. I want to tell them that they should use their brain power and time on something that will help them in the future so they do not lose both of them during the same time at a young age. -- Cheers, Anca. -- -=-=-=- Anca Mosoiu | Tech Liminal anca(a)techliminal.com M: (510) 220-6660 http://techliminal.com | T: @techliminal | F: facebook.com/techliminal

Re: [sudo-discuss] Meeting tonight, but where is the agenda?

by Yardena Cohen

It's been on the local pad all along. I've just copied the contents to https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom and starred the revision, but good luck keeping it up there... Sorry I probably won't be there tonight. Still recovering from a bad cold. (I had to tunnel through ssh to do this...)

sudo-crowd mailing list

by Eddan

Dear Sudo folk. I am pleased to announce the formation of a new mailing list focused on crowdfunding, theory and practice. We will be collecting background resources and commentary on crowdfunding to fill out the JOBS Act page on the Sudo wiki - http://sudoroom.org/wiki/JOBS_Act. To sign up for the list, please go to: http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-crowd. In addition to discussion, we will use the mailing list to collaborate on crowdfunding related projects. The first one being the drafting of public comments on behalf of Sudo Room ( http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/jobsactcomments.shtml). You can see the comments currently submitted to the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobs-title-iii.shtml. There are a bunch of them, so I think the most substantive comments to perhaps start with are the two Rockethub white papers on Regulation ( http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobstitleiii-39.htm) and Implementation ( http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobstitleiii-39.htm). sent from eddan.com

Spare Quality Coffee Grounds

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Yo sudosicles, Sudoshroom has started shrooming today. We have a deal with Farleys and get their awesome espresso grounds for free. This means that>> 1) right now we got around 3/4lbs of high quality grounds at sudoroom leftovers. Come pick em up asap and use em in your garden/shrooming. This wont be the last time we will have leftoer grounds. 2) sudoshroom won\t need grounds collected by ourselves space. We can still keep collecting but personally Im unsure what it will be used for, because for shrooming, the grounds we get from farleys are plentiful and with less risk of contamination, more dry and easier to handle. The alternative to collecting is composting in the bins mr Senate set up (good job Matt!), which seems pretty fine too. Make a great night, Morten

Reminder: CORE I Class on Thursday from 6:30-9pm!

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers! This email is to remind y'all that this Thursday, Feb 21st from 6:30-9pm we will be holding our first CORE (Communities of Oakland Respond to Emergencies) class at sudo room (which will actually be taking place in the Public School's room as they're hosting a poetry reading that same evening). This is the first in a series of three classes offered by Oakland's First Responders. This class will cover basics of self-reliance in the event of a disaster or emergency that could take out power and other essential infrastructure for up to weeks at a time. The CORE I class teaches students how to prepare a family disaster plan, reduce common household hazards, create emergency supply kits, and respond to a number of possible emergencies, including earthquakes and fires. To RSVP, please email me directly. The current RSVP list is here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/CORE_I_RSVP \o/ Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

TPB_AFK and other questions

by :::Marty:::

Hi Sudoers A couple of things. I didn't get much of a response for screening *The Pirate Bay film* and as Jenny pointed out Tuesdays are super busy. How does this *Friday 2/22 *work for people? There are no conflicts i can see on either the Sudo calendar or the Public school. Also i wanted to know that i've acquired a *first aid kit for Sudoroom* so we can take it off the wish list. Ill bring it in later in the week. I am also looking for folks interested in *developing The Public School *website. There are a lot of improvements to be made and there is a test server already running. The site runs on Drupal. So if any dev types have some extra time or interest i can get you access or we could do a hackathon to shore up the site.
