Potential for Art Murmur and Solano Art Walk

by Patrick Schmidt

Hi y'all, Even if a long movie on Art Murmur is not the most social event, it was a very good movie and I am glad we watched it. (Money and Life) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0xRkaJCs5g Interestingly our neighbor (the door next to the kitchen) seemed to completely disagree with the core message and it seemd to be defending our current system. The piano on the street was a wonderful thing, thanks Sam &co. With the Art Murmur we have a big potential to grow something awesome. I hope our community will grow, continue to open up, embrace diversity, and will have many awesome projects, discussions and exchange to come. We live in very interesting times and this opening up might be the key to something really special that can happen in Oakland. I hope as a community we will stay away from accusation, blame and criticism and focus on what unites us. coming together and creating a better future. One thing that we could easily pull of is making the Art Murmur event @ Sudo to networking and community event for hackers, creatives, change agents, activists, green movements... we can invite all the hackerspaces around and all the non profits we are connected with and reach out to more local groups. (Monthly BACH Networking ?) Similar the Second Saturdays we have the Solano Art Walk in Berkeley. With inspiration and help of our Community we declared the Open Fine Art Gallery a Hackerspace. It is located in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre. it has a secret entrance to inside the theatre. we could make a movie in there. (what about a movie about reclaiming the theatre, maybe it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy) if we create a well networked community and reach out to the first and generation hackers who made it to money I believe we could reclaim the whole theater and BACH Hacker University/Hotel/Conference Center/Theater/Space/School Saturday June 8th will be the first official "Solano Art Walk", and it would be wonderful to show the local community here what and how awesome hackerspaces are. Maybe with a huge map of the bay area with all the hackerspaces, electronic kits, LED strips... any art projects that sudoers and other hackers might wanna show. This Saturday May 11th we have an art opening as well, 7-9pm is a good time to come by and check out the space and share visions for the future. Maybe someone wants to come out and wants to declare the space 'Sudo-gallery" the space is payed for until july, all events are free and donation based, the rules are "be excellent to each other and say hi" the conflict resolution is we focus on love peace and unity (we do not support hate, separation or fear). ------- What do you guys think of having a Art Murmur planning meeting 10 days - 2 weeks before the next murmur? anyone interested in hacking the gallery or hacking the theatre in north berkeley? best, patrick https://www.facebook.com/OpenFineArtGallery openfineartgallery.net hackthegallery.net

This Sat (5/11): Today I Learned: Comics, Arduinos, 3D Printing & More

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, This Saturday (5/11) at 2PM, come learn about Comics, Arduinos, 3D Printing & More <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/ComicsAndMore> with Romy! In a *NUTSHELL,* this is an old-fashioned comic book jam. We will take the end result and print it out as a relief using the 3D Printer. Here's the *PLAN*: - Roll out a big roll of paper - People draw their characters interacting (1 or more characters per artist) - We scan the drawing - We fuse the scan onto a 3D Model using the customizable Lithopane onThingiverse - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74322 - Print out the lithopane on the 3D Printer - Warning - this might take a while (at least 20-30 minutes?) Come, draw, and invite your friends! Best, Marina

Happy Hour Tomorrow! and web blogging/wiki video hacking!

by Sam Tepper

Hey All, I want to invite you to our exquisite Sudo Hacky Happer hour tomorrow! If you have super awesome video equipment or want to help set things up, be sure to show up on the early side (6PMish..potluck food?) I am not personally knowledgeable about the wiki, blog, or video stuff, so I'd really appreciate your help! For everyone else, festivities will start around 7PM, although we will likely be sharing the common room at first. We'll be having group and individual video entries, and I hope to get some nice screencapture tutorials going, so bring your gear! And your booze! We will be respectful of members who wish to not be filmed, but I hope we can all help show off how ridiculously awesome our Sudo culture, have some tenlightening and productive discussions, and witness various Sudo members degenerate into friendly and respectful debauchery. Yours in crime, Sudo Sam

SudoBook

by Matthew Meier

random idea: wouldn't it be neat if we could reclaim computer hardware from local businesses (which typically come without hard drives) find a cheap way to package a small linux distro onto a cheap drive (maybe even: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0078PVL8U). then resell them as "sudobooks" for some ridiculously low price (25 bucks?) to raise dollars for sudo?

by Vicky Knox

!sretirw yeH In a previous thread I asked: "Are we alone in the universe?" Not according to all the wonderful responses we got! Come join your fellow wordy humanoids on a fine *Sunday the 19th* afternoon at *4pm* and enjoy gastrological delicacies from your and other star systems (Nothing too fancy. OR don't bring anything at all if you prefer.). We will be making good use of our internal universes in pondering the following action and discussion items brought forth via the email thread (and any other interesting thought that has since rocked your world): – Poetry slams and talent showcases – A writers’ collective website: LinguisticAlchemystic – Sudo Radio broadcasts – Sci-fi writers meetup – Sudo Press: A self-publishing platform with graphic and editorial support focusing on Hacktivism – Book-binding/sewing, book-selling – Algorithmic poetry meetup/workshop – Twitter haikus – User generated algorithm seeds *tear* – Writers/Comic book artists collab – Drop-in writing help workshop – Screenwriters’/actors’ meetup

revolutionaries and the creation of new language

by Romy Ilano

There is a yin and a yang to everything. Here are a few examples of the "dark side" of reshaping language... I've read a lot of history about the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Cambodian Khmer Rouge... these groups were very interested in reforming a corrupt society, finding new ways of doing things. They are not shining examples but I can say that their intentions started out pure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge_rule_of_Cambodia#Establishing_the_… On the surface, society in Democratic Kampuchea was strictly egalitarian<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarian>. The Khmer language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_language>, like many in Southeast Asia, has a complex system of usages to define speakers' rank and social status. These usages were abandoned. People were encouraged to call each other "friend", or "comrade" (in Khmer, មិត្ដ mitt), and to avoid traditional signs of deference such as bowing or folding the hands in salutation. Language was transformed in other ways. The Khmer Rouge invented new terms. People were told they must "forge" (*lot dam*) a new revolutionary character, that they were the "instruments" (*opokar*) of the Angkar, and that nostalgia for pre-revolutionary times (*chheu satek arom*, or "memory sickness") could result in their receiving Angkar's "invitation" to be deindustrialised and to live in a concentration camp.

Thank you Marina for your proactivation, but the 19th will actually be the day! In the previous email Rabbit said that date would work from him. I was waiting for other people to reply, but since they haven't and it doesn't conflict with anything else I have gone ahead and scheduled a writers' meetup for the 19th at 4p!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Hey writers!

Sunday the 19th works for me! I can show people how to make Twitter bots that generate random poetry like the famous horse_ebooks. https://twitter.com/horse_ebooks And I'll read selections from my own army of Twitter poetry-bots.

"I was trying to fight sexism" is not at all incompatible with something being racist.

CfP: Open Knowledge Conference - Geneva (9/17-18)

by Eddan Katz

http://blog.okfn.org/2013/05/07/okcon-2013-call-for-proposals-out-now/ > The Open Knowledge Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2013 Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon) will take place in Geneva, Switzerland on 17th -18th September. The theme of this year’s edition will be Open Data – Broad, Deep, Connected. > When: 17th – 18th September 2013 > Where: Geneva, Switzerland at the CICG – Centre International de Conférence de Genève > Official Website: http://okcon.org/ – register at http://okcon.org/tickets/ > Social media: http://twitter.com/okfn with hashtag #OKCon and on Facebook > Press: http://okcon.org/press – Press Release for event Announcement > > > The world’s leading open data and open knowledge event, OKCon is the latest in an annual series run since 2005. Last year’s installment in Helsinki had more than 1000 participantsfrom over 50 countries and was the largest event of its kind to date. Previous speakers have included inventor of the World Wide Web Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Hans Rosling of Gapminder, Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive, and Ellen Miller of the Sunlight Foundation. > > Located in Geneva, a major site for the United Nations and many other international institutions, this year’s event will focus on coordinating and strengthening public policy around the world to support a truly global and interconnected ecosystem of open data. > > Open Data – Broad, Deep, Connected > In the last few years we’ve seen government open data initiatives grow from a handful to hundreds, and we’ve seen open data become important in areas such as research, culture and international development. This event will explore how open data is not only expanding geographically but also touching new sectors and new areas. How should governments and international institutions such as the UN react to these changes? How should business take advantage of new opportunities and contribute to the open data economy? How do citizens and civil society organizations turn data into accountability and into change? > > This year’s OKCon will focus on the following questions: > > How do we broaden open data – not only geographically across countries and regions, but also across domains and institutions? For example, whilst open data is now firmly on the agenda for government, in business its potential is only just starting to be explored. Similarly, though “open” is prominent in some areas of research, such as genomics, in others it is still barely known. > > How do we deepen open data – ensuring a commitment not only for today but for the long term, and ensuring that open data is fully embedded into processes and policies? For example, though many governments have now signed up to the Open Government Partnership and announced open government data initiatives, in many cases the amount of data actually released remains limited. > > How do we ensure the open data ecosystem is connected? Much of the value of open data will be lost if open data ends up locked into isolated silos – whether these are legal, technical or social. In today’s globalized world it makes no sense if open data ‘stops at the border’: we need data that extends across countries and institutions, and is easy to interconnect thanks to common standards and interoperable infrastructure. > > Organizers > The event is jointly organized by the Open Knowledge Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation Switzerland with the support of the Federal Councillor Alain Berset and the Canton of Geneva and with Lift Events as an organizing partner. > > FAQs > Will there be other events in town during the Conference week? > Yes, we’re planning satellite workshops on Monday 16th September and Thursday 19th September. Please consider this when booking your travel! > > When will the Call for Proposals be launched? > We will launch a Call for Proposals inviting you to send us your ideas for talks, panels and workshops in April. We can’t wait to make this happen together with you! > > I’d like to offer my support as a volunteer. How can I apply? > We expect to welcome around 30 stewards in our team. Applications for these positions will be opening shortly, with preference given to those already in the Open Knowledge Foundation Task Force. Stewards will receive a free ticket. > > Tips or support for travel and accommodation? > We’re planning to provide a travel bursary programme, and details of recommended hotels and hostels with good connections to the OKCon venue will be announced in the coming weeks. > > What’s Happening with OKFestival? > Last year our annual Open Knowledge Conference expanded into the inaugural Open Knowledge Festival (OKFestival) which took place in Helsinki in September. This was a great event with a broad structure and festival atmosphere, and we look forward to future Open Knowledge Festivals. With their expanded format we’ll likely be running these in alternate years, giving plenty of time to plan and bring the community together.

Fwd: [noise@ischool] Fwd: 24 hours left to apply for AdaCamp San Francisco (June 8&9)

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

// Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Megan Finn" <megfinn(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> To: "noise@ischool" <noise(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Subject: [noise@ischool] Fwd: 24 hours left to apply for AdaCamp San Francisco (June 8&9) Date: Wed, May 8, 2013 6:20 AM ---------- Forwarded message ---------- AdaCamp San Francisco: June 8&9 "AdaCamp DC was a fantastic experience, one of the best conferences I've been to!" - AdaCamp DC attendee AdaCamp attendees Applications for AdaCamp San Francisco are still open but closing today! AdaCamp SF is a two-day unconference for supporters of women in open technology and culture held on Saturday June 8 & Sunday June 9, 2013, in San Francisco, California. At an unconference, the topics of conference sessions are chosen by the conference participants on the day of the conference. Topics may include fan fiction and fan culture, open education, open source, Wikipedia and related projects, open data, open government, social justice, recruiting and retaining women, activism, parenting, any intersectional topics, career development, and of course, feminism. This year AdaCamp has two tracks. The main track is for people who identify as significantly female, and includes unconference sessions, an Impostor Syndrome workshop, tutorials, lightning talks, and a hackathon (several hours for group collaboration on projects, not necessarily coding or hacking). The allies track is for people of any gender, and consists of a 2 hour Allies Workshop on Saturday morning, teaching simple ways to support women in open technology and culture, followed by an unconference for the rest of the day. AdaCamp is invitation-only, but we encourage everyone interested in attending to apply. You do not have to write code, have a job in open tech/culture, be a certain age, or be anything other than a supporter of women in open tech/culture. We value diversity of all sorts: age, race, geographical locations, language, sexuality, gender identity, educational background, hobbies, spiritual or religious beliefs, and other areas. Find out more about the diversity of previous AdaCamp attendees by reading the final report for the most recent AdaCamp. Child-feeding parents are welcome. Unfortunately no further travel funding is available. If you want to know more about whether AdaCamp SF is right for you, read the final report from the most recent AdaCamp, AdaCamp DC. Applications to AdaCamp San Francisco will close in 24 hours on Wednesday May 8 11:59 PM California time (06:59AM Thursday UTC). "The experience profoundly changed me. I'm looking into volunteer and educational opportunities that I would not have considered before attending AdaCamp. And I really want to share what I'm doing." - AdaCamp attendee We thank our gold level sponsors Mozilla, Automattic and Google Site Reliability Engineering; and our silver level sponsors Linux Foundation, Red Hat, Intel, and Puppet Labs; for their support of AdaCamp San Francisco.
