Yes! Please go to this. The event will serve two purposes:
EXCITING SPEAKERS! In particular, Silvia Federici is a world-famous
anarcha-feminist who literally wrote the book on large chunks of
medieval european womens' history. Her revolutionary consciousness
spans millennia. I'm pretty sure she exists outside of linear time.
SUDOROOM'S FUTURE! We could move into a giant building with a bunch
of other groups and own it. We could really do it. Really! Come see
the building. There will be tours starting at 6pm (talks at 7). Also
meet people from the many other groups and talk to them about how
great it would be to move in together and how we're going to do it.
I really hope to see you all there.
Hey Sudoers,
Come check out this even at The (soon to be) Omni Collective space this
weekend!
Saturday March 22nd 6pm:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1398000470462548/
Join Silvia Federici, Peter Linebaugh, and George Caffentzis for a
discussion on Reproduction, Labor, and Capital at the Omni (4799 Shattuck
Ave) in Oakland on Saturday, March 22nd. Please click the link below for
details.
George is author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the
Crisis of Capitalism.
Silvia is author of Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and
Feminist Struggle.
Peter is author of Stop, Thief!: The Commons, Enclosures, and Resistance.
George will present his latest work, In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work,
Machines, and Value (PM Press, 2013) a collection of essays that draw upon
a careful reading of Marx's thought to elucidate political concerns
encompassing twenty-first-century capitalism, information technology,
immaterial production, financialization, and globalization. Emphasizing
class struggles that have proliferated across the social body of global
capitalism, Caffentzis shows how a wide range of conflicts and antagonisms
in the labor-capital relation express themselves within and against the
work process. He will also discuss his recent PM release, The Debt
Resisters' Operations Manual.
Sylvia Federici's Revolution at Point Zero (PM Press, 2012) collects forty
years of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social
reproduction, and women's struggles on this terrain--to escape it, to better
its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to
capitalist relations. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist
organization of work and the contradictions inherent in "alienated labor"
is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are
decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with
Federici's organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the
essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related
issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and
its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work
and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor,
and the politics of the commons.
Peter's Stop, Thief! is a majestic tour de force that akes aim at the
thieves of land, the polluters of the seas, the ravagers of the forests,
the despoilers of rivers, and the removers of mountaintops. Scarcely a
society has existed on the face of the earth that has not had commoning at
its heart. "Neither the state nor the market," say the planetary commoners.
These essays kindle the embers of memory to ignite our future commons.
The Bay Area Public School is a school with no curriculum. It is not
accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with
the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic
activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything.

FYI: I know a lot of the people running the hacker schools and who have
graduated from them. I think most of these schools are legit, but I'm
wondering if that is because it is due to the location (SF Bay Area) and
the very high talent pool here.
None of these bootcamps claims to replace a university education, they are
offering a very different thing.
I'm spooked by people who would advocate replacing an education with
vocational bootcamps. I don't see these bootcamps competing with computer
science departments at universities.
I can see a lot of potential abuse occurring as well:

Hol for posting the link.
I agree with GtwoG that there is some possibility for abuse; but neither
the article nor the agency's web site offer a concise presentation of what
it means to "be in compliance". Is the agency throwing up regulations that
will deter good work? It's hard to tell!

Start your week off in the most actively, technically and politically
correct way possible, with Techno-Activism Third Mondays!
Tomorrow, March 17th, at 6PM we brainstorm off the theme of:
Rightscon Decompression and Review
This month, San Francisco hosted Rightscon, the human rights and
technology conference organized by Access. We saw many familiar faces
there, and thought we'd spend this week's meeting informally talking
about lessons learned, questions raised, and what actions we can take
next. Whether you attended or not, come along, and hear about what
happened and what might happen next.
Also: the latest insider digital rights news from Burma, Venezuela,
Russia, plus your own projects.
All that, plus our usual strange assortment of snacks from Walgreens or
-- given we've just found a hidden Whole Foods market near the office,
perhaps something even *more* exotic.
Time: 6:00pm
Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco (we'll wait at the front door until 6:15; after that, call or text +1 408 480 3412 and we'll come let you in)
This is so awesome

Colorado News: Court Rules That Possession of Marijuana Convictions Can Now Be Overturned
A panel of three Colorado Court of Appeals judges unanimously ruled in favor of allowing some state citizens who have been convicted of possessing small amounts of marijuana prior to the implementation of Dec. 2012's Amendment 64 to request their convictions be overturned.
According to Al Jazeera America, Amendment 64 decriminalized marijuana possession up to an ounce. A woman's 2011 conviction for possessing the drug was under appeal when the panel of judges decided to overturn the conviction because of a "significant change in the law."
Brandi Jessica Russell's defense attorney, Brian Emerson, told the judges Thursday that Amendment 64 should be applied retroactively, which the panel agreed with because they said there are some legal exceptions.
"The general presumption of prospective application, however, is subject to a doctrine established by our General Assembly and Supreme Court enabling a defendant to benefit retroactively from a significant change in the law," Judge Mary Hoak said in her 16-page opinion.

Russell was convicted in Grand County for the possession of one gram or less of methamphetamine, marijuana concentrate possession and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
Brian Vicente, one of Amendment 64's authors, said the judges' ruling could ultimately affect hundreds of Coloradoans who were sentenced to jail terms for petty marijuana possession, while some inmates currently serving time could also be released. He also said that prior to the amendment, the state had prosecuted about 9,000 marijuana possession cases a year.
Emerson said the "tide is turning" on the national stance toward marijuana use, and that this ruling is an indication of that. The attorney also said that many prosecutors haven't given up their fight against marijuana possession and use as he still represents a number of marijuana appeals.
"This ruling shows it would be wise for them to focus on more pressing matter," he said.
However, following the judge's decision Thursday, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers released a statement with his plan to appeal the ruling because it could open up more case appeals that don't even involve marijuana. According to Suthers, nothing in the amendment shows that it can be applied retroactively and should not apply to previous cases.
"Well-established retroactivity law in Colorado indicates that statutory changes are prospective only unless the General Assembly or the voters clearly indicted an intent to require such retroactive application," Suthers' statement reads..
During the ruling, the judges agreed that there is nothing in the amendment stating they can throw out previous convictions, but they argued that sate law gives the defendant an opportunity to receive post-conviction relief "if there has been a significant change in the law."
And the judges claim Amendment 64 did in fact significantly change the law.

Hello,
I completed my hack of porting the Darkplaces gaming engine to the
Raspberry PI. Here are a few videos of the PI in action running
Quake-related games at 1080p.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtQQkRlrLIw&list=PLCnagLKAtPONIbS0AnuE47bHN…
Gameplay is 20-30 frames per second at 1080p with full audio. For a $25
computer this is not bad at all. In some parts of the world the PI is the
very first computer people have seen.
The package will be released sometime next week and source code will be
merged into Darkplaces afterwards.
Peace,

what do people think of the shotspotter system installed in oakland?
it's a network of microphones on telephone poles, each with a GPS (for
a precise clock) and a network connection. When a gunshot-like sound is
detected, they send the sound and its precise timing to a central server
that determines the location of the shot, and tells the police to go
there.
some people have expressed concern that the microphones are used to spy on
people, but it would be impossible to hear a conversation from the top of
a telephone pole that wasnt already loud enough to be heard inside nearby
houses (or the phone in your pocket).
apparently the city pays $264,000 per year to keep shotspotter going. I
think sudoroom people could do it for much less if they thought it was a
useful thing. They would be discontinuing it to save money, or perhaps to
avoid having to send cops to do actual work once in a while...
i mean.. sending police toward the gunfire? sounds like a good idea...

Now he's threatening to start throwing things in the garbage if I
don't go and help him clean up immediately.
As much as I don't like things being thrown in the garbage, I'm not
going to take orders from him. I helped clean the common area
thoroughly only a week ago, especially the kitchen area. I came here
to do actual work today.
If he tries to talk to me again, I am going to leave.
i can't tell if you replied to the list or just privately to me.
that sounds like it would be fun, but it would be more worthwhile if there
were a larger goal to be accomplished, ideally with funding.
it wouldn't be trivial - what is the right way to record timestamps onto
an audio recording from a GPS? perhaps use one of the two audio channels
as a SMPTE timing track? that's kinda ridiculous but there's probably
lots of code already written...

I was super-d-delighted to see Sudoers out at First Friday AND I'm jazzed
about the reboot on April 4th/5th AND curious to know what's being
prototyped for membership. I'm currently renewing my HUB membership
(already 3 years in, a really open-minded organizer is has their community
engagement role) and was prompted to click agree/disagree with the
following:
*I am joining Hub Oakland to become a member of a community of
entrepreneurs, activists, artists, purpose-driven seekers and professionals
acting on our passions and unleashing creativity in ways that make us come
alive! Our aim is to leave a legacy of a thriving, just and sustainable
world. We envision a future where each individual understands that they are
inextricably interconnected to all other beings and the Earth; a future
where every business, organization, or company will take courageous and
mindful action to become a part of the solution and use their potential to
create positive impact and equity for all.* *As a part of this community, I
understand that it is my responsibility to maintain, and advance the
following 8 Hub Oakland Principles:*
- *Authenticity*: We invite the whole person into the space and create a
container for authenticity to emerge.
- *Radical Inclusivity*: We believe in order to create a thriving and
resilient community all voices and perspectives must be invited to the
conversation. We thrive because we are diverse and multicultural.
- *Creativity & Expression*: We believe at the core of transformation is
creativity. We inspire each other to express our creativity and purpose.
- *Collaboration*: Our meme is innovation through collaboration. We
embody the African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want
to go far, go together”.
- *Inspiration*: We believe a spark of inspiration has the ability to
change the world. We consciously create an atmosphere of inspiration.
- *Respect*: We honor each other’s special gifts and differences and
keep sacred our physical environment.
- *Reciprocity*: We value the opportunity to give to our community and
receive from it.
- *Effectiveness*: We leverage each other’s strengths and resources and
gain the knowledge we need to effectively contribute to making a better
world.
Then I went back and re-read the Sudo purpose/values and membership
sections of the articles at
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Article_1._Purpose
So, my question: has there been any discussion around membership
recruitment/ retention/ rebooting?
Curious,

well i think it would be obvious to combine city funds and the mesh
network with shotspotter, but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people
were opposed for various reasons.
i feel that if our lisence is strong enough, we could accept money and
utility poles (and electricity) from the city without being forced to do
anything unethical.

I formally propose we move cleaning weekend to the 29th/30th.
The Public School was going to host a talk in our common area on
Saturday night, the 22nd: "Sylvia Federici and George Caffentzis on
Capital, Labor and Reproduction at the Bay Area Public School"
Because of our landlord's rave plans, they had to find another venue.
So it's going to happen 7pm at the Omni. The "Collective of
Collectives" is going to use this as an opportunity to introduce more
people to that building earlier in the day. It will be a great chance
to see the Omni for anyone who hasn't already, and to meet other
interested people and groups who want to move in with Sudoroom.
I want to be there as well. I think a lot of Sudoers should come too.
So are there any objections to pushing cleaning weekend another week
to the 29th and 30th?

Thanks for asking this, Hol. I've been sad about the shop area for a
while. Some parts have been getting some love recently, and I'm very
happy about that! Other things have disappeared and become harder to
find. My last straw was last night, when one of our community members
came by with a simple need, to file and hacksaw something. We found
one very large file but not the smaller file we used to have at some
point. We could not find any hacksaws at all. I know we had some
before. It felt very symbolic. How can a hackerspace not have a
hacksaw? We literally cannot hack!
Personally, having all of these different elements in one physical
space greatly increases the value of everything. While he was visiting
he told us about the exciting solar panel project he was working on,
and found potential leads for writing controller software for it. This
was a conversation that wouldn't have happened if the shop were
offsite, and I can't help but wonder how many more of these
interactions we miss out on, by not having a good enough shop area.
While there are challenges to having sawdust and metal shavings in the
vicinity of laptops and food preparation, I think it's well worth
meeting them. Noisebridge has a wonderful shop area - at last month's
reprap building party, Miloh showed me some wonderful tools that had
stayed around since 2008! All they had to do was enclose it. I think
for our new space, an enclosed work area is a must. I'm afraid of
sawing anything at Sudo because it commits me to then spending 10
minutes trying to track dust down behind a thousand nooks & crannies.
And I'll still never get it all. People who came just to hack on some
Javscript will leave coughing and rightfully upset. We took the
cheap-upfront route, and we've been in debt ever since.
Another example: our particle-board floor has been a huge limitation.
I can count a number of projects, including a metal-printing one,
which didn't happen or moved elsewhere because you just can't do it
safely over our floor. It's unsanitary, a dust/germ/toxin magnet, hard
to sweep, hard to vacuum, hard to find things you drop, easy to
dent... We could learn something from Double Union, a space that
recently opened in SF. When they rented their room, the very first
thing they did was tear out the carpet and seal the floor in hard
resin. Imagine the pain we would have avoided if we'd done that in our
current "Art Studio"! Well worth the money, IMO.
Which, speaking of money, my observation is that a lot of people who
were involved in Sudo's early stages - 2011 & 2012 - were hoping for
the fab & maker angle, and were disappointed by our meager facilities
and started putting their money & energy elsewhere. I think reaching
out to this crowd should be a component of our reboot. Our values and
energy are so important - let's try this again. :)
Greetings Sudoers,
This Saturday, March 15, is a #FreeBassel <http://freebassel.org/> Day
event in San Francisco at the Wikimedia Foundation offices.
If you don't know Bassel
Khartabil<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassel_Khartabil> (known
online as Bassel Safadi): he is an open web developer and dedicated
Internet volunteer who has been imprisoned (without charge) in Syria since
March 2012. He was Creative Commons lead in Syria, played a large role in
the translation of CC licenses into Arabic, and started the first
hackerspace (Aiki Lab, Damascus) in the so-called Arab world. You can hear
him discuss the hackerspace as well as the role of open source and maker
culture in Syria in this podcast from early
2011<http://www.talkinganthropology.com/2011/01/28/ta24-arabic-hackerspaces/>
.
Following the outbreak of violence in Syria in spring 2011, he converted
the hackerspace into a triage center, using it to provide first aid care
and training until it was no longer safe to do so.
This Saturday 15 March marks the second anniversary of his arrest, as well
as the third anniversary of the Syrian uprising. In support of Bassel and
in efforts to raise the profile of his case, #FreeBassel Day events are
being held around the world to mark this date.
Here in SF, the event will involve a Wikipedia
edit-a-thon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco_19>,
a potluck, the sharing of art, stories, and conversation about Bassel, and
whatever else you might bring. Given Bassel's involvement with
hackerspaces, making culture, and open source projects, we hope that NB
folks will attend - to learn about Bassel, discuss common interests, and/or
improve Wikipedia's coverage of hackerspaces and making culture.

Subject: [sudo-info] invite to tweet at #radicalcolophon + open mic
event on friday!
To: info(a)sudoroom.org
Hello everyone,
My name is Anna Moreno. I am an artist from Barcelona, Spain. I am in
SF now, I have been invited by SFMOMA to make an edition of my project
Radical Colophon for the symposium Visual Activism. It will take place
this weekend in the Mission.
My contribution to the program will be an event on Friday from 5-7PM
at the Will Brown Gallery (3041 24th Street, San Francisco, California
94110).
As part of the piece, we are looking for folks to TWEET about the
intersection of TECH, ART, and GENTRIFICATION. I have been looking
into your website and I'm sure you guys have some feelings on this
subject. I believe the alternative tech world is usually left out of
the discussion that is why I think your contribution would be very
appreciated.
If you're willing use the hashtag #radicalcolophon and your tweets
will be used as part of a live performance on Friday. We're feeling
challenged to find tweeters so your support would be an amazing launch
into a full blown conversation!
Check out the open call here:

It is also still possible to sign up for a slot in the open mic. The
event will also be open to the public, and there will be free drinks
and food. You're very welcome to join!
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
All the best,
Anna

I love it!
That said, does someone know how to fix the PAGE NOT FOUND that shows up in
the "Social" plugin on the WP? If yes, could you show me how?
THX!
* The landlord's rave plans for the 22nd are looking like a more
serious conflict than we thought. We floated the idea of postponing
this cleaning weekend to the 29th/30th, but haven't made a decision.
* On the next First Friday (April 4, 8pm-2am) we have the opportunity
to share the space with a fundraiser for TWAC, "Trans & Womyn's Action
Camp": https://twac.wordpress.com/ They'll have a pay-what-you-can
policy, it will be compatible with our values and with the open-house
component of First Friday. I think this is a great idea. Any
objections?
* The meeting included a lengthy section which began as conflict
resolution between Elliot and Xavier but became an issue of safe
space. I personally asked Xavier to leave at the end, which he did. He
says he will be back for his "three shelves of stuff" tomorrow. We
didn't have a quorum to ban him, but there was an informal
understanding that multiple people are uncomfortable with him, which
he seems at this time to be respecting.
