If anybody is interested in working on Noisebridge Radio please contact me. The filing dates are 2 months away which is not as long as you think. Some of the basics are that the frequency used can't interfere with any existing station, max. power is 1000 watts, and preference is given to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a week. The usual FCC regulations apply, no swearing, nothing that promotes any illegal activity, etc. There are no restrictions about remote access so people could transmit via network access from somewhere else. At that power level we should be able to cover the Mission and perhaps leak out to the Downtown/Tenderloin area. The transmitters run in the $2500 - $3500 range and you can't build your own. It must be a "type accepted" transmitter. Lower power transmitters cost less. Everything else we can build ourselves. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are NOT entitled to your own facts.

The email that started the Noisebridge broadcast radio project. Norman Bradley: - Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is now tossed.

by giovanni_re

https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-August/03893… Read these important links below: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 ----- Original message ----- From: Norman Bradley <pryankster(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is not tossed. Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:22:40 -0700 A while back people were talking about getting a part of the Radio Spectrum for Noisebridge. Well here it is. I can work out the technical parts but somebody else needs to take care of the filings. The window of opportunity is October 15-29, 2013 and for the first time urban stations will be allowed. The license holder must have been in the community for at least 2 years. The range is about 10 miles although given our location at the bottom of a valley I wouldn't bet on it. With this power it is line-of-sight. We should be able to hit Dolores Park and most of the Market Street area from the Civic Center North. Bayview and Hunter's Point? Forget it there is a hill in the way. These are just guesses. We need to prove that we won't interfere with existing stations. That starts with just walking around the Mission and listening to your FM Radio. The more technical details I will work out with some modeling software later. The FCC is giving extra points to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a day and is "publicly accessible". A good time to reach out to our neighbors. I am assuming that some of that can be pre-recorded or streamed in from the net. If it is coming over the net we will need to be very careful about who has access. There's that whole no profanity rule. So let us get K - - - on the air. KNOS, NBRG, KNOI are all taken and it must start with a K, West of the Mississippi and all. So here are some of the relevant web sites: The original article from John Hightower: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 -- You are entitled to your own opinion.

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC

by giovanni_re

My message to NB about the FCC LPFM project. ----- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: "noisebridge-discuss" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:49:08 -0800 http://slingshot.tao.ca/issue.html?0112007 LPFM Alive Despite Legislation By DJ Rubble On November 30, 2012. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced implementation of the bipartisan Local Community Radio Act of 2010. The legislation instructs the FCC to license more small, local Low Power FM (LPFM) stations. These stations broadcast on up to 100-watt transmitters, usually with a 3-4 mile signal range. The legislation replaces a 2000 ruling first recognizing LPFM. The 2000 legislation was hailed a groundbreaking victory for unlicensed radio, which had seized the airwaves and refused to be removed. However, the radio industry through inside deals from powerful lobbying arm the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) with the FCC and Congress quickly maneuvered to strategically undermine the process to eliminate even the smallest level of competition for the profiteers. Over a twelve year period the net result is about 800 small, non-profit corporate LPFM stations nationally. Virtually none have been licensed in major urban areas, including none in the Bay area. The majority are rural stations owned by a well-funded national religious network, most others by schools and emergency responders. The result is a corporate jukebox of songs from the top ten record labels, AP wire service briefs, and government-funded propaganda from NPR. The current LPFM legislation is again hailed as ground breaking by the media and radio activist organizations that worked hard for passage. It should provide a few more good quality, local stations. But will it help or actually hurt LPFM in the context of the overall goals of the original movement, which started out as "pirate radio"? ... _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

Fwd: [CQ] K-Noisebridge - NB should start an FM radio station. "The Bridge"

by giovanni_re

My message that created the idea of Noisebridge Hackrspace radio. ----- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net, cq(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [CQ] K-Noisebridge - NB should start an FM radio station. "The Bridge" Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:37:45 -0800 Community outreach. Y'know how radiostations call themselves by word names nowdays, instead of call signs? Like Alice, The Bone, The Revolution.? We should call it. "The Bridge". ===== Fwd. Was: [CQ] Invitation: East Bay Amateur Radio Club meeting this Friday at 7:30pm - RADIO SAUSALITO Jack k6jeb at yahoo.com Tue Sep 11 19:52:03 UTC 2012 ------ I'd like to invite you to the East Bay Amateur Radio Club September meeting this Friday, September 14th at 7:30pm. We meet at the El Sobrante Public Library 4191 Appian Way El Sobrante. Since this month's topic isn't specifically about ham radio, why not invite your non-ham friends/family/colleagues? Come join the fun this Friday!!!! This month's presentation: "Radio Sausalito" Jonathan Westerling, founder and president of Radio Sausalito will share with us what happens behind the scenes to keep the Bay Area's smallest radio station on the air 11 years after its first broadcast. We'll learn about the strict technical requirements that limit legal transmission on 180 meters (the am radio band) and the unique technology that that allows listeners to tune in jazz on 1610 AM. Jonathan will also offer up his 20 years of expertise in broadcasting to answer your questions about broadcast radio and its future. Bio: Jonathan Westerling, 36, grew up in the small rural town of Harvard, Massachusetts, a town with literally a single traffic light and more apple orchards than any other town in New England. At the age of 7 he started his first radio station called "WXYZ" using a Mr. Microphone. >From this bucolic upbringing, Jonathan journeyed to Cleveland where he earned a Bachelor’s in Musical Performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Bachelors in Audio Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. After graduating he became president of Tech Efficiency, an on-location computer consulting firm and at the same time served as bassoonist and contrabassoonist for the Canton, Ohio Symphony Orchestra. Jonathan came to Sausalito in 1999 and spent five years with the Branding/Marketing firm Landor Associates rising to the level of Worldwide Technology Coordinator. For the past eight years he has been Manager of Mackenzie & Albritton LLP, a telecommunications law firm in San Francisco. He has served with the Sausalito Arts Commission, the Marin Office of Emergency Services Communications Volunteers and the Sausalito Police Volunteers 73, Jack Burris, K6JEB Program Chair, East Bay Amateur Radio Club -------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

INTRODUCING the Sudoroom Global Hackerspace FM broadcast radio project - to the SR discuss list readers.

by giovanni_re

Hi all - short intro here. Sudoroom has the opportunity to join a great project to get all world haackerspaces FM radio broadcast stations, by hackers, for hackers & everyone. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio Broadcast show topics on: News, education, public affairs, Music & arts. The benefits to Sudoroom are that 1) you increase awareness of SR in the Oakland community by being on the FM broadcast air, 2) you thus might increase membership & participation & fundraising for SR,& 3) you inform, educate, & uplift hackers & everyone, including potential hackers, in the local community. :) -- Norman Bradley & I started this project at Noisebridge https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge -- I'm the person working to alert hackerspaces worldwide to this opportunity. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio The key USA date is the FCC Nov 14 application deadline. -- I announced this global project at the Oct 23 wed SR weekly meeting. In attendance were about 6 SR regulars, & 6 first timers. (I also announced this briefly to the biohackers last Friday, about 12 ppl.) -- Matt Senate is wants to get SR to apply for a license, & to have a broadcast station. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Low_Power_FM_Radio I pulled up & bookmarked about 16 links re this, & Matt put them onto the sr wiki. That page needs cosmetic clean up. If you are interested in helping this project, one easy simple contribution would be to clean that page up cosmetically. Then _read_ through those pages! -- I'll send you more info about this as my very limited time permits. Please read the emails i'll send in a minute, & read the pages they link to, if this radio project sounds interesting to you, & you want to help SR, & hackers in Oakland, & everywhere. :) -- Questions? --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

anonymous threats

by Eddan Katz

A Sudo Board nominee received an anonymous threatening message yesterday. This kind of thing is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It is harassment that is pathetic and cowardly. It is also in clear violation of our safe space policy and subject to the consequences in the relevant parts of the dispute resolution process in our by-laws. There is enough identifying information to figure out where it came from - the phone number was 650-272-1589. If anyone has information on who is associated with that number, please let me know off-list. This kind of behavior is not welcome in any Sudo space, whether physical or virtual. I will also add my intense personal frustration at people like you. Stop giving anonymity a bad name. sent from eddan.com

[Important] Sudo Short on Rent this Month!

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I made a deposit today from the donation bin with $260 dollars, bringing our bank account total to ~$1020. Our invoice from the landlords is $1,661.50 We need to raise ~$650 to pay rent PLUS another $500 to maintain our bank account minimum and not be charged for being below the minimum. *How can we raise up to $1,150 by say, Monday?* Some ideas I'm throwing out there and discussing with folks in the space at the moment: - Ask folks to pay their dues! Encourage your friends. - Throw a fund-raiser this Saturday (take donations, give beverages, performances) - Reach out to different groups that use the space. // Matt

Fwd: Save Airbnb in New York

by Eddan Katz

For those who have not been following the Airbnb legal troubles, this story has been called "Airbnb vs. New York City: The Defining Fight of the Sharing Economy" (http://skift.com/2013/10/13/airbnb-vs-new-york-city-the-defining-fight-of-t…; w/ links). I would rather call this version of peer production - collaborative consumption, but do think that the way this goes will be a key turning point. It's not just the hospitality political lobbies that are the problem, it's also the landlords' lobby. > > > > > Dear Eddan, > > I'm writing to ask you to help save Airbnb in New York. > > As a guest who has stayed with a Host, you know how unique and local an experience that is. And you also know the majority of our hosts are just regular people making ends meet by renting out their own homes. > > Now, that experience is under threat. > > The New York Attorney General has subpoenaed the records of almost all of our New York hosts. We are fighting the subpoena with all we've got, but poorly written laws make for even worse enforcement. Unless you help to stop it once and for all, the laws may never get better and the threat to our New York community will continue. > > A petition to change New York law already has over 88,000 signatures, and an Airbnb host, Mishelle, has pledged to personally deliver it to the New York Senate. Our new goal is 100,000 signatures. We hope as many people as possible will encourage New York to change the law. > > Sign Mishelle's petition to change the NY law and Save Airbnb. > > Thank you for standing with our New York hosts. We can create a new world where people can feel at home, anywhere. Let's create that world together. > > Thank you for signing, > > Douglas Atkin > Global Head of Community > > > > > > > > > > Airbnb Inc. > 888 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103 > > To stop receiving emails from Airbnb, click here >

Fwd: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China.

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Ooo, interesting, no? // Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Michael Buckland" <buckland(a)berkeley.edu> To: <friday(a)ischool.berkeley.edu>, "I School Announcement" <i-announce(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Subject: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China. Date: Wed, Oct 30, 2013 11:17 FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm. http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-ia/f13/schedule.html Open to the public. Everyone interested is welcome! Friday, Nov 1: Elisa OREGLIA: Dissertation Talk: From Farm to Farmville: Circulation, Adoption, and Use of ICT between Urban and Rural China. In the mid-2000s, China began a set of policies to "informatize" the countryside, i.e. to bring Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to rural residents in order to improve their economic conditions. These policies posit the countryside as a world of "less", compared to urban areas, and portray people who are at the margins of China's modernization (migrant workers, rural residents, older people, and farmers) as in need of ICT to access more and better information, and, as a consequence, more and better opportunities. In contrast to this widespread view of marginalized users as passive recipients of technologies, I look at the diffusion and appropriation of ICT such as mobile phones and computers among rural residents and migrant workers in their own terms: not as foils for elite views of why they would/should go online, but rather as people who discover the opportunities offered by ICT that are of interest to them, and try to use these opportunities as best as they can. By retracing the paths through which ICT travel in urban and rural China and the social relations that are maintained, renewed, and reinvented along the way, I show how people at the margins "invent" themselves as users, find a connection between their lives and technology, and participate from afar to China's rapid modernization. A presentation of this work was was named the best graduate student paper on China and inner Asia at the 2013 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies by the AAS' China and Inner Asia Council. Elisa Oreglia is completing her PhD in the School of Information. More at http://ercolino.eu/eo/. FORTHCOMING Friday, Nov 8: Niels W. LUND, Univ. of Tromso, Norway: Which discipline does Document Theory belong to? Wrapping up 25 years of work in progress. In the design of information services (libraries, archives, data sets, websites, etc.), you deal with documents in relation to their material nature (paper, software, hardware etc. etc.), their social status (legal issues with access etc., impact), and their mental/cognitive aspects (How are they been understood?). But in the world of higher education, you still have a relatively sharp division between humanities, social sciences, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), so what can you do when you feel you belong to all three academic worlds? Niels Windfeld Lund will soon retire as Professor, University of Tromso, Norway, where he was the founding director of the program in Documentation Studies. He has twice been a visiting scholar here.

Market Street Cinema Reviews - San Francisco Bay Area Escorts ... http://www.myredbook.com/showpro.aspx?id=2298 http://www.ofarrell.com/girls_03.html#rita-russoff Rita Russoff a-e 100-800 c120,d200,e500 92/90/92 Height 6' 1" (1.85 m) Mini Biography Born in Czechoslovakia to Russian parents, Nikita was studying art in school at age 15 when she decided she wanted to try something else. She left her country and traveled around Europe, eventually becoming involved in modeling. From there she began to get work in European porn videos, and after establishing herself in that field, traveled to the U.S. and got into the adult-film business there. In 1997 she won the X-Rated Critics Organization Award for Best New Starlet. IMDb Mini Biography By: frankfob2(a)yahoo.com Trivia Nikita was a finalist for Penthouse Pet of the Year 2000. Nikita was also Miss Kyrgyzstan. Nikita Gross Nikita Gross Nikita Gross AKA Anna Kaminskaia is a Russian beauty. Porn Star Nikita is one of the hottest ladies of the 90's wave of Eastern European porn stars. She is a tall blond with an all natural body. Her pretty face recalls Michelle Phieffer, and Nikita's got the same sexy smile. Her Russian accent is getting better, while Nikita's sexuality remains constant. Nikita Gross got the porn bug while still living in Russia, but she soon realized that she would have to travel to have a chance at making it in the Xbiz. She moved to the Czech Republic and soon after moving to the States along with her friend Vicca. The pair can often be found performing in movies. Several of Nikita's videos are available here, including her hot fuck with Rocco Siffredi in "Jungle Heat." She sizzles in "The Coming Of Nikita," taking on Christophe Clark in an erotic tryst. But it's her American porn work where this blond slut has made a name for herself. Just take one look at Nikita's work in Greg Dark's "The Psychosexuals" if you need more proof of this lady's sex skills. She continues to turn out performances and is a sure bet to be one of the most popular porn stars. This Russian beauty entered the adult scene in the late 90's taking the adult world by storm with her strikingly beautiful looks and perfectly curvaceous body. Pornstar Nikita was first introduced to the adult biz in Russia, but realized that in order to get anywhere in the adult biz she would have to travel, so she moved to Czech republic where she got her feet wet in the hardcore scene there before venturing to the US. While in the Czech Republic Nikita met and quickly became close friends with adult starlet Vicca and the two paired up and decided to move to the US together to get their start in the American adult industry market. Pornstar Nikita and Vicca took the US adult industry by storm often performing together. Nikita quickly became one of the most requested adult starlets appearing in over 100 titles in her first year in the biz. http://www.nudevista.com/?q=nikita+gross 2013-03-28 Rita Russoff 9 8.5 Lots of sensual fun with the still sexy-as-ever Rita hoochiekoo 2013-03-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9 great ps with a russian legend! yungnhung2013 2012-08-12 Rita Russoff 9 7 Hot n sexy MILF yestomassage 2012-07-01 Rita Russoff 8 8 To die for DiKKY 2012-04-17 Rita 8 8 Excellent experience whatever400 2012-04-13 Rita Russoff 8 7 Fun with a seasoned pro larsemars 2012-03-26 Rita Russoff 8 9 Great lapdance from a great lady JustAFaceInTheCrowd 2012-03-05 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 experienced and easy going gfchaucer 2012-02-23 Rita Russoff 8 9 amazing body. some of the best tits i've ever seen. pretty face. fun stage show. super seductive and engaging in private. delivered with little upsell. would repeat. justahobby7 2012-01-17 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 As promised gfchaucer 2011-06-09 Rita Russoff 8 8.5 Great sexy body created to excite porra 2011-04-15 Rita Russoff 8 8 Still like to see her beeker107 2010-03-23 Rita Russoff 7.5 9 everyone wants her beeker107 2010-03-11 Rita Russoff 8 8 Beautiful woman inside and out johnnyqrider 2010-01-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 see het once and your hooked beeker107 2009-11-19 Rita Russoff 9 9 Fell into her charms andyb 2009-11-10 Rita Russoff 9 9 Amazing service, so-so attitude alias39 2009-06-29 Rita Russoff 9 9 Worth the years I've been waiting vaxhacker 2008-08-22 Rita Russoff 7.5 8.5 a must see beeker107 2008-08-10 Rita Russoff 8 7.5 not the goddess she was a few years ago DirtyHari69
