for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up somewhere.
Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because …
[View More]of his background in real estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms.

Dear Sudo folk.
For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com.
I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email.
And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long.

To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org>
We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next
steps for Double Union!
Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at:
…
[View More]http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/
The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good
processes to manage the space, building access, and so on!
Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage
and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We
are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an
email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in
a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very
soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their
keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once
someone other than me has keys.
Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to
do that until there is more "there" there to talk about.
Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist,
Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing!

Hell Holy Kopimists and Sudoers,
A group of self-organized students from UC Berkeley want to Visit Sudo Room
on October 14th 5pm to take theory into praxis. Their student-run class is
"Politics of Digital Piracy" .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B…
They are asking if someone would like to take point on peer-teaching one of
the following topics to the insatiable and impressionable minds of the
hackcers-to-be.
As far as volunteers go, I think if …
[View More]would be cool if someone:

Great.
So here is a link to the class wiki page (yes, we're still using your
implementation of the WMF Education Program).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B…
The topics we have covered so far are copyright law, privacy and
surveillance, hack culture, and are moving on to peer to peer networks this
week.
The week of Oct 14 (the proposed evening), we will just be presenting
midterm projects, so I think the learning objective of our trip to sudoroom
could be related to any of our covered topics so far.
As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone:
a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain
a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect.
b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been students
that have expressed interest in using Tor.
c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things sudoroom does.
Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also, bringing a
group from the Open Computing Facility as well.

Thanks …
[View More]Eddan for clarifying.
Im sad i missed the joint meeting with CCL re: moving in - we definitely need more meatspace strategizing on making a 3-way move like that happen -
I'm really happy that marina and y'all are checking out the Omni and other potential spaces - I'm going to start looking pretty hard and get BAPSers in on this too - sounds like a guesstimated combo sudo/baps/ccl monthly budget would be ~$4500, does that seem about right?
Re: SUDO moving into the Omni, it sounds super cool and personally I have no problem with the location - but I do think if there are ppl living in the space, that might make it challenging - conversely if there are lots of loud shows there, that might make having a class tough? And more or less importantly.. are there windows in the Omni space? It's be great if whatever space SUDO moved to had more natural light..

Terminating the current lease means the latter, David. That is - at that point, a new/better lease can be negotiated. Or not, if so decided.
While the details on what a co-op purchase would look like still have to be hammered out in detail, it was my understanding from George that he was interested in an arrangement that would include selling off equity in that portion. Different organizations would put up money in their collective shares and that wing would be organized as a co-op with the different organizational/individual owners taking part in the decision-making of managing the building.

Hey guys,
Regarding leaving 2141 and scoping out new spaces..
I was hoping someone could fill me in on what is really meant by deciding we are officially 'terminating the lease' in Dec. ?
Does it mean we are definitely out of 2141 come Jan., ie, we definitely dont want to stay at 2141? Has that been decided?
Or, would we have the opportunity to negotiate a new/better lease if we did decide to keep on at 2141?
Re: a co-op purchase of part of 2141, what are the brass tacks of that exactly? I..e, do we have however many tens of thousands I imagine we would need for most mortgage downpayments? Is there some angel investor here I dunno about?
Along the same lines what are our real-world options with respect buying the church, or part of the Omni? Or are we just talking about renting part of the omni?
Personally, I'd prefer to move, but move with BAPS, SUDO, and CCL. It kind of seems like maybe we should find a good place to move to, and understand what our combined budget is. if SUDO moves out without BAPS that would suck for BAPS and also mean that SUDO would probably get a smaller space than we would get if we combined forces, synchronized, and all moved somewhere together (or mayber stayed at 2141 together, under more amenable conditions). Staying together being the operative word to me here..
Best.

You do realize that's very close to Ace Monster Toys? If Sudo room moves up to the Berkeley Border, it would make sense to join with Ace Monster Toys. Also, in my opinion that is way too far from Bart, and way too far from where I live, so I would probably not ever go there.
Sounds like an interesting space though, and that is a better neighborhood than where AMT is now. Maybe they would be interested in this space?
Tracy
It's 1.4 mi away, which is relatively close, though not a super convenient walking distance. However they are looking for bigger cheaper spaces (minimum 3000 sq ft, and at most $1/sqft), so I'm not sure this would work. Also they have a requirement that anything over 2500sqft MUST have overhead sprinklers. That combined with the noise constraints might be an issue, since AMT has lots of big noisy toys (large CNC router tables, laser cutters, power saws, etc)

Hi! I'm new to Oakland/SudoRoom, so this may be the completely wrong
place to ask this... but can anyone recommend a good electrician to
run phone cables? Ideally one who is available on the weekends?
Zee
Yes, the building itself is certainly not worth a lot/if anything. It was
built by one of the founders of that specific church, some 4-7 decades ago.
One of the churchgoers' fathers I believe. But hey! with some creativity,
skill and hard work anything is possible, and building new dwelling(s)
doesn't necessarily have to be a 2 year project.
Might even be possible to get for less than 400k.
Make a great day,

Hello All,
==What?==
There is a church that has gone bankrupt, and their property is for sale.
2439 Adeline Street
Oakland, CA 94607
The appraisal value is $500k, but it is not on the market yet. (Appraisal
pdf attached). So my feeling is that we can make an offer for somewhere
around $400k if we organize quickly.
There are some pictures in the appraisal PDF.
I have set up an appointment to View the church at 8pm on Tuesday 1st
October. I'm inviting you to come see if you want.
==Communal …
[View More]Buying==
There are several ways to buy the property. I am intrigued by a multi-buyer
shared-equity approach. Where everybody that pays not necessarily equal
amounts, owns equity in not necessarily equal amounts.
There has also been an offer of lender financing if we put $178k down.
I am open to creative solutions.
==Potential Uses==
Currently it is zoned "CIX" commercial-industrial mix. That means that
officially you can only use one-third of the space for living. If we were
to get a mortgage we would need a business license. Of course thought once
you own it, there isn't zoning police that check what you do with it.
So we could make this into housing, hostel, a venue, keep it a church, have
a tiny house village on the back bit.
Again I am open to creative solutions.

Hello Sudoers!
Tomorrow, Saturday 9/28 at 2 PM!
Alexander Honkala and I will be teaching another class. Last time, we covered some basic tenets of molecular biology, and tried to give you all a topical view of systems biology as well as comfort with the idea of coding your biology with some bio-hacking nanoparticles and/or viruses.
This time around, we will be covering "boorganic chemistry", as well as the basics of pharmacology. We will delve into methods of creating awesome molecules that …
[View More]mimic your biology, and how to use those molecules to build larger assemblies of molecules that can do stuff. Time constraints in mind, we will move at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. We want you to taste how your body interacts with things, and how it makes things to interact with itself.
Hope to see many of you there!

These proposals strike me as practical, feasible, and necessary.
Perhaps more importantly, they also seem to embody a very do-ocratic
response to the recent issues. They won't …

disappear, but are a huge step in the right direction.

If anyone has some thoughts/ideas about the Oakland Tool Lending Library, especially in regards to the possibilities for an attached community center/maker space - let me know.

[View More]As I mentioned on our call yesterday, the library administrator and the office of At Large City Council Member Rebecca Kaplan have agreed to work with the Friends of the Tool Lending Library toward making a budget request from the City Council in January for a one-time expenditure to fund the expansion, or expansion and relocation, of the Tool Lending Library (TLL), in order to resolve the long-standing space, access and capacity issues with the TLL.
>
> To do that, we will need a concrete proposal (with budget numbers) that (1) addresses the current and future needs of the TLL (and possibly a community classroom/work space), and (2) identifies a specific City building (assuming a move) and the work necessary to make it ready to house the TLL.
>
> I along with some other members of the Friends of the Tool Lending Library are taking the lead on drafting a report that identifies the TLL's current and future needs and priorities, gathers community input, and makes a strong case for why we need to increase access and capacity.
>
> The library administration will work with the City's Real Estate Department to identify a space based on the criteria we have provided previously (1200-1500 square feet at ground level for easy access, with parking and reasonably close to a freeway and transit lines), and determine the cost of readying that space.
>
> One of the ways we could increase the value of this resource without necessarily increasing initial or ongoing costs to the City would be to relocate to a space large enough to accommodate an expanded TLL (1200-1500 square feet), and also a complimentary space that could house a community classroom and/or a community work space/maker space. My thinking is that the latter operation might be run by a non-profit organization, rather than the City (which presumably does not have the resources to take on and manage a work space).
>
> I note that I have discussed this last idea - a work space/maker space - in a City-owned building - only casually with city officials and the library administration. While it always elicits a positive reaction, we have not sought nor received any official approval or interest.
