this friday 1/29 at 7PM people will be meeting up to learn about proteins
and protein structure and to begin work on building protein models,
visualizations, and ultimately protein design.
if you're interested in what computational biology is all about and what it
would take to model brand new proteins, you should come!

Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] Hack the Left: An Anticapitalist Hackathon
Hack the Left is an anticapitalist hackathon, February 5-7 at Noisebridge.
This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and anticapitalist projects using
technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks
and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Terrorism Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for
liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it.
We also need people involved with left-aligned organizations, technical or not, to show up and help guide all the technical folks towards doing things that are actually
useful. We want to build with, not for.
More information and the answers to probably all of your questions, please check out the website, hacktheleft.com (redirects to the Noisebridge wiki page).
Cost is a recommended donation of $15. In the unlikely event that this makes any money, it will be donated to Noisebridge.

the quikest solution would be to change the mode to auto-relock...if it's

i guess we could just poke around on it to discern.

Thanks Matt for holding it down so long! Maybe some of our newer
members can start hosting regular events.
i've been having a brainstorm over the last two days that has led me to the
conclusion that the best way for us to fundraise to save the omni might be
to host 215 only (no alcohol) lounge nights. we could charge $20-30 and
have different themes each night, i.e. hip hop, reggae, jazz, etc.
the oakland dispensaries are not allowed to has lounges like in sf.
we don't currently have a liquor license
the oakland dispensaries that get busted for having lounges only get simple
possession charges...even for having 30 pounds.
anyone with me?

Hey all,
Putting Linux Installfests on indefinite hiatus effective tonight!
Looking forward to more linux- and *nix-related events, etc. Looking
forward to starting fresh this year, open to supporting others, drop me a
line.

isn't anyone interested in hacking radio anymore? start a pirate radio
station or something.
this is my ad:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/5413874550.html
over a dozen high-power VHF radio transcievers from police cars and fire
trucks, and some from relay towers (those are 2.1GHz)
all powered by 12VDC and transmitting up to 150 or more watts, on various
bands, mostly around 150MHz i think. Several types, mostly motorola brand.
I don't have the wiring harnesses, expecting you would just use them as RF
amplifiers since SDR transceivers are so cheap these days.
Ideally you will take them all. Please write with questions.

I may or may not be able to make it tonight, but I just wanted to say
that I'm really happy The Mess wants to be part of Omni, I
enthusiastically give my consent to our delegate saying "yes"
tomorrow, and I encourage others to do the same! Thank you!
They came to our last Omni meeting, and we took notes. You can read
the whole discussion here, with many questions answered:

Hi sudoers,
I am borrowing some kinects for an augmented reality project. I only need

We have a lot more trash to haul, and there are probably some desirable
goodies in the pile for you scavengers out there, anyone able to make it to
omni tomorrow by 11am??

I always wondered about this. So the people with money are the ones
who decide who gets their money. Seems like the decisionmaking process
is tilted towards people who are middle class and wealthier, right?
Has there ever been talk about sponsoring decisionmakers who don't
have $100/mo to spare? That'd be awesome.

*Description*
“This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the
tranquilizing drug of gradualism” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
Over the last year, in the Bay Area alone, there have been dozens of police
murders. In San Francisco, we have most recently seen the brutal execution
of Mario Woods, in addition to police beating a disabled man in front of
the Twitter building and racist text messages exchanged between SFPD
on-duty officers.
In Oakland, we have seen 8 Black men murdered by police since only June of
2015. In fact, a recent graphic by Mapping Police Violence shows that in
2015, Oakland ranks third in police killings per million people in 60 of
America's largest cities. (https://www.facebook.com/

Police are the shock troops of gentrification. Mayors give them a mandate:
make this city appealing to developers by any means necessary. City
Councils fund police and constantly seek to expand their numbers and their
powers. As a result, people of color are being pushed out of cities at
unprecedented rates, by an out of control rental market, increased police
occupation and terrorism against communities of color, as well as
crackdowns on those who dare protest these unjust policies.
A year ago, people across the country began taking to the streets in
unprecedented numbers; storming shopping centers, blocking streets and
highways, interrupting cultural events and public transit. And the people
SHUT IT DOWN. We SHUT IT DOWN because there is a state-sponsored war on
Black, Brown, and other marginalized peoples in the United States. WE SHUT
DOWN BUSINESS-AS-USUAL because business-as-usual is an out-of-control
epidemic of police terror.
Last year, in partnership with comrades and allies, APTP launched 96 Hours
of Direct Action in the Bay Area, and answered a national call to Reclaim
King’s Radical Legacy which we did through a march that brought over 7,000
people into the streets of Oakland. We believe it is important for our
movement to draw on King’s legacy to ground ourselves, to reinforce our
conviction and confidence in the tactics and strategy of disruptive direct
action.
A year later, while we are starting to have an impact, we also see that we
have a long long way to go. So this Martin Luther King Day weekend,
Oakland’s Anti Police-Terror Project* is calling on you to help us SHUT IT
DOWN - again. Together, we will unleash the vast creativity and organizing
capacity of our communities to produce a spectrum of disruptive and
creative activity. In the spirit of MLK, we want these to actions to
meaningfully interrupt business as usual whether that be with direct
action, teach-ins, concerts or prayer vigils and to do so with action logic
that links our resistance to fighting racism, economic injustice, and
imperialism. We want you to plan these actions independently, but together
we will coordinate collective support for these actions through a
spokescouncil so that they have maximal support and impact.
The weekend will once again culminate in a King Day march that embodies the
true spirit of King's resistance to capitalism, imperialism and racism:

The immediate termination of Chief Greg Suhr
The immediate termination of the officers involved in the murders of
Richard Perkins, Mario Woods, Yuvette Henderson, Amilcar Lopez, Alex Nieto,
Demoriah Hogg and Richard Linyard
The immediate reallocation of city budgets: reduce police budgets and
reallocate those funds to provide for affordable housing that allows Black,
Brown and other people of color to remain in San Francisco and Oakland.
This year, we shut it down in the names of:
Yuvette Henderson
Nate Wilks
Richard Perkins
Richard Linyard
Demoriah Hogg
Yonas Alehegne

I've been a trustee of the SF chapter of the Awesome Foundation since it started in the summer of 2010. Since then we've given a $1,000 grant, no strings attached, to over 60 awesome projects that people have submitted to our website.
There's a new Oakland chapter starting up, and they're looking for trustees. Here's what's required to be a trustee:
* a sense of awesome
* put in $100 per month
* the ability to read through lots of projects once a month and show up to a meeting to consense upon an awesome project with the other 9 trustees
The Awesome Foundation is not an "official" non-profit. It's totally anarchy. There are over 80 Awesome Foundation chapters around the world. Collectively we've given away $1,875,000 to 1,875 projects since 2010.
http://www.awesomefoundation.org/
If you're interested in being part of the new Oakland Awesome Foundation chapter, please email me off-list.
Best,
Mitch.
Hi all, in case you haven't heard -- Wikipedia is celebrating its 15th

"weird old days" of early Wikipedia, to gender bias in the encyclopedia's
content. I will be hosting a panel with various perspectives on the
significance of Wikipedia from a journalist, an education specialist, and a
social justice activist. I've posted interviews
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnDuxSh4Rp5gsvae2Iegcom5-fzK6nk0d> with
the panelists.
