I'd like to share with you the idea of my next art project that i'll like activate .

by Sergio Racanati

*Dear All, companions and friends * I am Sergio , an Italian activist - artist , now in California for an artist residency program ( a program of artistic research ) . I'd like to share with you the idea of my next art project that i'll like activate . All my artistic research is aimed at highlighting the social, political and econoniche . The way I work is a participatory approach , I'm interested in the creative process to include community , political activists, groups ' marginal , local populations. My porssimo project is aimed at realizing a video store on the city of Detroit , a city that for several deceni has been the symbol of capitalism, Fordism and unbridled industrialization . I'd like to extend the project through this email list . For the realization of the archive, which will then be placed online will be well accepted video in any format, any length , any size, any quality and resolution of images and audio, video, amateur and professional . Below I attach the statement of my artistic research , the link where you can find some of my work and do not hesitate to contact me for any information. My email is: utopiaracanati(a)gmail.com I apologize for my English , but I trust in the understanding of the content, and you will be very happy to realize this project with all of you . *STATEMENT :* The focus of my work relies on my interest in the social history of man in relation to the urban political and architectural environments of human life. My work probes into those side-elements forgotten by history while focusing on the relationship between urban landscape and man’s societal development, between history of architecture and man’s political behaviours. I explore the consequences of the polarization of human existence between forms of conformism and integration, between differentiation and resistance. I also make remarks on the relationship between individual and collective memory in contingent history. My work, which is intimate, albeit not a diary, escapes every narrative purpose to prioritize an analytical perspective meant to build a repository of cultural memory to be drawn upon in terms references and examples to be used in a critical thinking and re-interpretation of present times. Sergio Racanati *LINK:* http://momaps1.org/studio-visit/artist/sergio-racanati http://www.arthub.it/?action=artista&ida=13&idart=Sergio+Racanati http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=12&ved=0CHgQFj… I waiting to hear from you , I extend best wishes Sergio Racanati

flexible circuit board material works in wax-deposition printers!

by Jake

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Flexible-Printed-Circuits/ Get some thin sheets of polyimide which have copper on one or both sides. Polyimide is a yellow polymer with a high melting temperature and is sometimes called Kapton. A common type of copper-coated polyimide is DuPont "Pyralux" material. Pyralux sheets come in many different varieties of polyimide thickness, copper thickness and adhesive thickness (the "adhesive" is between the copper and polyimide holding everything together.) Copper thickness is given in oz per square foot, while adhesive and Kapton thickness is given in mil (1 mil =0.001 inch). Pyralux LF7062 (pictured) has 1/2 oz Cu, 1/2 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton. This works OK but is a bit thin and crinkly for the printer to handle. LF9120 has 1 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 2 mil Kapton - seems to work best in the printer LF9210 has 2 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton - stiffer, but works OK Other options are double sided copper ( a sandwich of Cu/Kapton/Cu held together with adhesive) and a roughened surface, denoted by R at the end of the part number. The roughened sheets and double sided sheet work OK. However, Pyralux with 2 oz or thicker copper can be difficult to feed to the printer, especially if there is copper on both sides. See if you can get a free sample from DuPont. Occasionally, Pyralux sheets turn up on eBay. Cut the Pyralux sheets to 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 inches with scissors or a knife. Avoid smudging the copper with fingerprints or oil, which can block the etch solution later. To protect the printer, try to keep the edges relatively flat and free of burrs. For direct printing on the copper film, locate a solid-ink printer. These are commonly confused with laser printers, but instead print melted wax. Unlike most inkjets, the wax makes a good protective layer for copper etching, and unlike laser printers, solid ink printers don't rely on locally charging the paper surface, which could be troublesome when the paper is replaced by a copper sheet. Some models are Tektronix Phaser 840, 850, 860, and Xerox Phaser 8200, 8400, 8500, 8560, and 8860. You might find one in an office. Most Phaser models are regular laser printers, so check under the hood for the solid ink blocks (pictured) if you're not sure. If you don't have access to a solid ink printer, the "toner transfer" iron on method, using a laser-printed design, could replace this step.

Please try to minimize trips in/out of your office if you are located within the space, and please do not enter the common space unless you are heading directly to a room there or for handicapped elevator use.

SEC to propose monumental crowdfunding rules tomorrow

by Eddan Katz

> E-mail > SEC to propose monumental crowdfunding rules on Wednesday > By J.D. Harrison > It was supposed to take 270 days. Instead, it has taken about twice that long. > > © 2013 The Washington Post Company | Privacy Policy On Wednesday, though, federal regulators will come one step closer to allowing people to purchase equity in start-ups through new online “crowdfunding” marketplaces. The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to formally propose rules on Wednesday authorizing companies to widely sell securities through the online portals, the agency announced late Monday. Currently, firms can offer equity crowdfunding deals only to accredited investors. Once the proposed rules are issued, the five-member board plans to vote whether to move forward on them. If approved, the rules will enter into what is expected to be a lengthy comment period before they would take effect. ....

City and Port of Oakland file Temporary Restraining Order Against Port Truckers

Tentative: Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation documentary screening Sat @ 7pm?

Hey all, First: is anyone in contact with folks at The New Parkway Theater? This group, Existence is Resistance, is trying to put on a screening of a documentary in Oakland about hip-hop artists who travel to Palestine to teach and learn. They're reaching out to The New Parkway, but as a fallback, I've offered the common space at 2141. I checked the public school and sudo calendars, I did not see any reservations for 7pm-10pm Saturday night, please correct me otherwise. https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/tentative-hip-hop-is-bigger-than-the-occup… I assume The Public School will want to support this as well. ++++ View Trailer: http://youtu.be/PGvP0OREI2E Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation is a documentary about a ten day journey of artists traveling through Palestine, teaching and performing nonviolent resistance through the arts. The tour included M1 of Dead Prez, Shadia Mansour, Marcel Cartier, Mazzi of Soul Purpose, DJ Vega Benetton, Lowkey, Jody McIntyre and Trinidad, Brandon and Lavie from the South West Youth Collaborative/University of Hip Hop Chicago.

Greetings, This is your informational email for tabling at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair. It will tell you most of what you need to know to get through Saturday. Volunteers and organizers will be milling around to help all day long, and are identifiable by their name tags. If you need anything please flag one of them down and we will do what we can for you. First up. There was some confusion about this last year, so we want to clarify the issue this year. There are no free tables at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair. We have chosen to adopt the percentage model, as used at The Montreal Anarchist Book Fair successfully for almost 15 years. We will not ask for payment in advance. We will come around late in the day on Saturday and ask to collect 10% of your sales. If you are an organization that does not sell anything or asks for donations or does sales under $200, then we require a minimum of $20. So please be prepared. We will come around about 4:30 or so to remind people and then check back in with each table around 5:30. If you are not tabling but receiving this email please tell those who will be tabling. Last year a few organizations did not pay stating they "did not know" payment was required. That response will not be acceptable this year. Anyone who does not pay this year will not be eligible to table next year. And we will grimace at you. A lot. The other thing to give you a heads up about is that we are encouraging Halloween costumes and would like to give out prizes for the best costumes. We are going to come around and ask people if they would like to donate something to the prize vault. Perhaps you will have an item or two that you would be happy to give! On to the logistics of the day. The book fair opens to the public at 10am, doors open for you at 8:30am. There are 27 tables, and we are at capacity. Selection is first come first serve. There is a great deal of wall space and outlets at regular intervals along the two long walls. You should bring your own power strips/extension cords if you anticipate needing power. There is wi-fi in the hall. We will have the area in front of the hall on 27th Street blocked off, for unloading and free hands to help you carry your wares. There is free parking on both sides of 27th Street. However, technically there is a two hour limit, Humanist hall says the city generally does not enforce this. We will have volunteers check periodically during the day to see if cars are being marked. There is a small parking lot behind the Hall on 28th Street, that will hold roughly a dozen cars, where it is safe to park all day. The helpers outside can direct you to this lot and it will be marked so you can't miss it. Again, parking here will be first come first serve. Each tabler gets a standard-six-foot-book-fair-table and two chairs. We can provide additional chairs upon request. We will do what we can to make the day as comfortable and as enjoyable for you as possible. There will be volunteers on hand to watch your table if you need a break or want to spend time enjoying the event. There will be coffee available on a limited basis to tablers and conversation holders until early afternoon. In terms of food, there are several small neighborhood places, and a Whole Foods about a third of a mile east on 27th Street. About a mile south on Broadway is downtown Oakland and Chinatown and about a mile northeast is a small business district on Piedmont Avenue. Each of these areas has quite a number of restaurants. More information about this will be available on Saturday at the info table. Tabling is scheduled to go until 6pm. Again there will be volunteers available to help carry and load you back to your vehicle if you require it. After tabling is over there will be karaoke and everyone is encouraged to attend. The complete schedule for the day can be found online at http://eastbayanarchist.com/conversations/ The complete list of tablers can be found at http://eastbayanarchist.com/tablers/ . Please check your listing and see that it is to your liking. Words, phrasing, link etc. For announcements, updates, and information on all the other events happening over the weekend visit https://www.facebook.com/events/227860837363480/?fref=ts If you have any questions or concerns please contact us and we will respond as quickly as possible. Thanks so much for participating, see you Saturday, October 26! On behalf of the EBAB planners, -ariel

Articles of Incorporation

by Marc Juul

Hi everysudoer For those of you who don't already know, sudo room is aiming to incorporate as a california non-profit, with the long-term goal of reaching 501(c)3 status. For now, we're working out Articles of Incorporation. These are based mostly on Noisebridge's Articles of Incorporation: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation In reading this, it may surprise people to see all of this talk of a board of directors and hierarchical structures. Most, if not all of this is required by law ( this law: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=corp ) and we can safely ignore it in the day to day running of our hackerspace. Instead of trying to explain, I will quote Mitch Altman responding to the question "What is the management structure [of Noisebridge] like?": "There isn't any. The official line is that we're an anarchist collective but the reality is that it's more of a web of trust model, with the usual elements of feudalism that crystallize out of any anarchic group. There's a board that appoints officers who technically have executive authority with regards to the space, but the reality is that if any of them actually exercised power they'd get thrown out. For certain things, like insurance, taxes, and our nonprofit filings, they have duties but those are invisible to the day-to-day operations." So, the important thing to remember is that these Articles of Incorporation allow the members to throw out any director who abuses their power. We will then go on to define how our day to day space is run outside of the articles of incorporation (e.g. in our bylaws). The power of a majority of the members to remove directors is defined in 7.6.c.2: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation#c._Removal_of_Directors If we want to tweak the Noisebridge articles of incorporation at all, I believe that the following are most in need of editing: * Article 3 - This is about our purpose and values. We can and should more or less freely change 3.1 and 3.2, but 3.3 should remain unchanged. * Article 6.1 - A member is proposed for membership by one existing member. Do we want to change this to two? * The Articles talk about how the board can fix fees for the members to pay, but we are almost certainly interested in letting members pay for their membership with work, by putting in time instead of money. I don't think we can put this into our articles of incorporation for two reasons: 1. The California Corporations code specifically says that the board may levy dues, but says nothing about levy'ing anything in place of dues: "5351. A corporation may levy dues, assessments or fees upon its members pursuant to its articles or bylaws, but a member upon learning of them may avoid liability for them by promptly resigning from membership, except where the member is, by contract or otherwise, liable for them. Article or bylaw provisions authorizing such dues, assessments or fees do not, of themselves, create such liability." http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=corp&group=05001-0600… 2. I'm worried that we may count as an employer if we give out membership in return for work, which may subject us to a whole set of other laws. However, I am not a lawyer. Keep it mind that "membership" for the purposes of the articles of incorporation only refers to the right to vote on things related to the board and articles of incorporation. So we could fix this by simply defining additional membership in our bylaws that define the more important things, such as being part of decision-making at our weekly meetings and 24/7 access to the space, and defining a membership fee in the bylaws that can be substituted by putting in work. We then simply have the directors set an official membership fee of 0. The only weirdness with this solution: It would be easier to become a member in the eyes of the articles of incorporation (requiring only trust of another member) than it would be to become a member in the eyes of the bylaws. -- Marc/Juul
