Re: [sudo-discuss] Bike Smut: Sex-Positive erotic bike flims at Sudo Room?

by Vicky Knox

Hello all! I'm emailing in response to all of your responses! I think Aestetix made a really crucial point about Bike Smut seeking to provide an alternative to exploitative pornography. Bike Smut is an activist group that promotes sexual empowerment. Something that Aestetix touched on, and that I really value, is that they approach their passions through a show(ing) that is an act of radical free speech. What is "child-friendly" is of course relative, so speak up anyone who has an opinion on this. One important thing about proposing the event was that we wanted to do it at a time generally associated with adult nightlife, that being Friday Night. I agree with //Matt et. al. that it should be obvious to anyone upon entering 2141 that this event would be happening. Aesthetically-intriguing and information-sufficient signage is an absolute must, and will be taken care of. What would be the logistics of a curtain? I am intrigued.. I support all bouncers, mustachioed and otherwise. Have I answered all questions? Are there more concerns?

Open Garden is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, I recently started working the communications front for a super rad startup called Open Garden. Essentially, OG is a mobile broadband network that uses p2p mesh technology to provide internet connectivity between smartphones, laptops and tablets. Last night I hopped on a call with some folks in India who run a nonprofit to help rural farmers tackle problems like soil testing, crop planning, seed recommendation, etc; They're planning to install Open Garden on their Android tablets and phones, pooling local networks of 2G and occasionally 3G mobile data to provide internet connectivity to the tablets. It's a great team doing exciting work. Hit me up if you'd like to hear more, or check out the link below. And btw, if you're looking for work and want to hear about more opportunities, join the sudo-jobs mailing list here: http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-jobs >From the call-out (https://opengarden.com/careers.html): *Qualifications* * Minimum 5 years of experience with network programming in C * Minimum BA in CS or another technical field * Demonstrated ability to write complex network code: e.g., a high-performance event loop * Experience in implementing a protocol specification, e.g., an RFC* * * Additional pluses * * Experience with startup environment * Contributing or leading protocol development, e.g., co-authorship or lead authorship of IETF drafts or another form of specification * Experience with peer-to-peer systems * Experience with mobile development * Being based in or near San Francisco * Contributions to open-source projects * Knowledge of Objective C, Java, or Ruby ------------ Be well, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Tonight's Nom Noms

by Raymond Lai

Hello Sudoers! The Skinny: -7pm Dinner tonight -8:30pm Crock Pot Demo & Gravy Impromptu Fundraiser (Nice pint of Red Gravy for $5-$10 sliding scale. All proceeds go to Sudo Room for May Rent) -Mate sampling The Verbose: Matt has bought some raw ingredients and stashed them through the nooks and dark places of sudo room. I have been tasked to find and then cook the said ingredients. It's kind of like an episode of Iron Chef (Japanese Version) and Easter all rolled up in one. I've also been asked to demo the crock pot so I thought I would make a Sudo sized amount of Red Gravy, and since we're at it why not bottle them in new pints and sell them as a Sudo Gravy Fundraiser ($5-$10 sliding scale) and help out May Rent. Oh and I'm making another test recipe of mate for everyone to sample in the quixotic quest of Sudo Mate - the intersection of Mate, Effervescence Caffeine, & Oakland Esprit. We'll see how close we get. It's already 4pm. :) ray

Re: [sudo-discuss] "I will make them disabled"

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

All good thoughts, but it would behoove us to pay our rent on time if we wanted such a recommendation. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Ray Lai" <raymond.wm.lai(a)gmail.com> To: "Jenny Ryan" <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> Cc: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] "I will make them disabled" Date: Wed, Apr 24, 2013 8:55 AM Wow, this is a lively thread. :) Due diligence? Yes! The search for new space? Yes! (Jenny, sign me up for Thurs if a scouting party is assembling) A search for a new space helps empower us with choice. It might help George consider his words and approach more carefully, knowing that we are considering leaving (or he might just be an unapologetic rager in which case no amount of discussion or amendments to the rental agreement would help). I'm also hoping landlords talk (maybe not to George, tho ;) and I plan on mentioning our current address and landlord to any prospective landlord with the intention of the news getting back to George. In this way George may apply whatever modicum of self-control and civility to his interactions with us, his valued tenants. I'm going to ask George, if he would be willing to sign a letter of recommendation endorsing us as tenants that pay rent on time. ;) Onward, Raymond LaiIce Cream ManAtomic Ice CreamFacebook.com/MotoAtomico On Apr 23, 2013, at 11:37 PM, Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> wrote: These are all really valuable points. However, I think it is important to explore opportunities when they arise, and would like to suggest some folks check the space out ASAP and give the rest of us a report-back.

I am down for a Thursday afternoon tour, and if I don't get any replies back for tomorrow, I'll try to schedule a Thursday tour between 3-4pm. Re: issues with the landlord: Matt, Jordan, Andrew and myself (as far as I'm aware, but I'm sure there are others) have buffered the community from most of George's incorrigible behavior (I've been yelled at for things sudoers have not even been around to do more times than I can count) - though, granted, we have also put him through what I'm sure is unexpected turbulence - but it should also be noted for the record that his rapport with the EAST BAY *MEDITATION* CENTER was horrible enough to warrant them moving out on bad terms. Andrew's suggestion re: a revision of the contract is a good one, but I have the feeling it wouldn't do much to change deeply-embedded behavior patterns. We are growing too large for the space, regardless, and I also think it could be a great opportunity for a serious crowdfunding campaign.

Matt mentioned trying to start a process where we continually understand the real estate market and what our options are... With that in mind, maybe we can figure out a process where: - we try to evaluate as many different spaces as possible, based on criteria determined by consensus, and in those criteria... - determine what's financially feasible, at what time period, with what funding, etc. Rusty recently sent out that survey recently about funding, and the few responses I read weren't at significantly higher price points, though our questions centered around reserves. I suppose that I see the comments from the landlord as a potential additional reason to re-evaluate the space, but not one minimally sufficient to immediately relocate. As Bill mentioned, it'd be great to form some kind of exploratory committee with the Public Schools. There's a lot of available commercial space out there, and it'd be great to try and evaluate as much as we can. If anything, this thread demonstrates that we have a lot of leverage in the management of the space. We could probably leave pretty easily, and it's likely that group consensus would be okay with that. At the very, very least, we need to ask that he respectfully talk to our members. Or, for that matter, guests of our members. You know, people.

YaCy in sudo room: I am inclined to set it up

Sudo room is a room with a bunch of computer hardware in it much of it idle and a community of people many of them not idle many of whom like free access to information and privacy-respecting technology and social institutions and dislike pervasive surveillance by state and corporate actors and oligopolistic private control of vital public resources. YaCy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy> is a free<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software> distributed search engine<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_search_engine>, built on principles of peer-to-peer<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer> (P2P) networks. All YaCy-peers are equal and no central server<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing)> exists. It can be run either in a crawling<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler> mode or as a local proxy server<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server>, indexing web pages visited by the person running YaCy on his or her computer. (Several mechanisms are provided to protect the user's privacy.) Access to the search functions is given by a locally running web server which provides a search box to enter search terms, and returns search results in a similar format to other popular search engines.

just got mugged and maced near sudo room

by Naomi Most

11:45pm at the 20th st bus stop (at Broadway) waiting for the 72M. So, ah, watch yourselves. I was transferring my iPad to my backpack when 2 muggers wrenched it out of my hands and a third one maced me right in the eyes. I mean not just a little spray, a serious "I mean to blind you" lengthy spray. An emergency team showed up about 6 minutes after the incident, and the cops showed up about 8 minutes after. They were very helpful. One of them asked if I had "Find my Phone" installed, which I did. They activated it and located the iPad right away. They detained 2 suspects who were carrying the iPad. I sat in the back of a cop car as they stood under the light. One suspect wasn't so clear to me, and I said so -- I wasn't sure. The other suspect was *definitely* the girl who maced me, so I said so. They let the guy go and took the girl in. That felt really weird. I'm going to write this up in more detail on my blog, because my face feels like it's melting off so I'm not going to be able to sleep anyway. What a strange experience. -- Naomi Theora Most naomi(a)nthmost.com +1-415-728-7490 skype: nthmost http://twitter.com/nthmost

Bike Smut: Sex-Positive erotic bike flims at Sudo Room?

by Vicky Knox

THE BACKGROUND: The people from Bike Smut and I think it would be fun and fascinating and fabulous to have a screening of their erotic bike films at Sudo Room as a combo of Fabulous Friday Films and Hacking Sexual Health. Bike Smut encourages "sex-positive bikers to make short films about bikes and sex to help spread a message of joy and liberation through sexuality and cycling". Everything they do is non-commercial, and is backed by the desire to demystify and provoke more open thought and conversation around sexuality. We would like to do this on Friday, May 17th in the evening. WE NEED YOU: The films are of course erotic in nature, and will involve nudity and sexual acts. Please let me know if you have any concerns, reservations or clarifying questions--we realize pornography may not be for everyone, and are sensitive to any concerns you may have. :]

"I will make them disabled"

by Yardena Cohen

Quoth our landlord. He's referring to hypothetical genderqueer people who may need to use a bathroom other than the men's and women's, if he finds them in the single stall bathroom with the wheelchair on it. He said Men's and Women's bathroom are enough to suit everyone's needs, and muttered something about people wanting "special privileges" on the way out. I hope you will agree that this is a problem. On a related topic, the women's bathroom never has soap. Vicky and I bought a giant container a while ago, and it has recently disappeared and not been replaced. There are also never toilet paper or paper towel refills, so we have been storing backup rolls in the Sudoroom closet. We are not going to store them in the bathroom because they'll probably disappear too. Relatedly, one day last week it was very hot in that bathroom and I set up a fan to circulate the air in it. The fan also disappeared. I am rather frustrated, in case you can't tell. I also want to point out that as many problems I have with the owner of Sudoroom's building, I agree with him about the furniture situation. People have GOT to take care to put furniture away, and leave the common area look as clean and empty as possible when you leave it. The campsite rule is: "leave it at least as good as you found it". You should follow that everywhere in life, but ESPECIALLY in Sudoroom's common area. He's threatened many times to just remove all the furniture himself. Given my experience with his personality profile and past behavior I would rate this as about 60% likely; more if people don't get their act together about cleaning shit up.

Have an Ultimaker you're willing to sell or lease?

by Jeff McAlvay

A friend and I are working on a project that involves an Ultimaker 3d printer (http://www.ultimaker.com/). I am looking to buy a machine or lease one for a few months (if we lease it, it would be restored to its original form when returned). Do you or someone you know have one they might be willing to part with on a permanent or temporary basis? Ideally, the machine is already assembled and calibrated. We're hoping to get started immediately--so please reach out ASAP if you are interested. I will pay above market price. Thanks, Jeff 206-271-6290

Fwd: [FC-discuss] After 9 Years of free culture advocacy, Students for Free Culture is now the Free Culture Foundation

by Matthew Senate

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Free Culture Foundation <webleader+rss-bot(a)freeculture.org> Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 2:15 PM Subject: [FC-discuss] After 9 Years of free culture advocacy, Students for Free Culture is now the Free Culture Foundation To: discuss(a)freeculture.org We are excited to announce the _Free Culture Foundation_ — the new name of the organization formerly known as _Students for Free Culture_. This change reflects the evolution of the organization over the first nine years of its life to support free culture advocacy in communities beyond students, to emphasize coalition building with existing free culture organizations, and to renew our commitment to free culture as an issue of social justice. **1. First, this change reflects an expansion of our activism to non- student communities.** Although our organization was started within colleges, universities, and high schools, we have grown to involve the work of many non-students. Many of our members and leaders have graduated and continue to participate in the organization. We want an organization that not only retains its members but has room for those who graduate and still wish to be organize around free culture. Many non-students have joined and support our advocacy and activism. To acknowledge the fluidity of student status as well as the valuable contributions of non-students to our organizations, we have selected a more inclusive name that reflects the breadth of our constituency. That said, with dozens of student chapters that have been established around the world over the years, our roots and our base will remain in the academy. A new name and an increased commitment to non-students does not reflect a retreat from our strong commitment to students and to student activism in free culture. Although we plan to support local and non-academic chapters, our organization will continue a strong emphasis on campus organizing. Just as we have outgrown our name, we have outgrown our old institutional structure. With the support of Joseph Dempsey, we are in the process of filing as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. **2. Second, as the institutional landscape around free culture has evolved over the last nine years, we aim to reflect a changed position in an ecosystem of free culture organizations.** There are many organizations that carry out invaluable work benefiting the free culture movement: the [Free Software Foundation][1], [Electronic Frontier Foundation][2], [Mozilla Foundation][3], [Wikimedia Foundation][4], [ Open Knowledge Foundation][5], [Public Knowledge][6], [Creative Commons][7], and many other organizations have been founded, grown enormously, and changed, over the last decade. Today, the broader free culture movement does much more than our initial goals of promoting free software and free cultural works. The Free Culture Foundation seeks to fill a space between these organizations and bring them together. A decade ago, the free culture movement focused on exploring possibilities and setting goals. After nine years of work in the broader free culture community, we can affirm a strong commitment to successful models of free culture put in practice by organizations like the Wikimedia Foundation, the [Definition of Free Culture Works][8], the open access movement, and the Free Software Foundation. The free culture movement has also grown in breadth. Our work no longer involves only promoting increased use of free software and free cultural works. With our strong history of organizing, we aim to build upon, complement, and fill some of the spaces between the many other organizations to support a broad range of free culture issues. **3. Finally, we seek to reiterate a renewed commitment to free culture as issue of social justice and to connect more effectively with other activists and movements working on these issues.** As [our annoncement][9] of support for the [Empowermentors Collective][10] reads, "It is imperative that we acknowledge that there are systemic structures of control embedded in our society which permeate our movement. Refusing to do so in an effort to compartmentalize and focus on our own goals is detrimental to our success. We cannot afford to be an isolated, inward-facing movement." We do not live merely in coexistence with media and technology, but we live in and through them. They continuously influence how we communicate, frame our understandings of ourselves, and mediate how we experience the world. In our continued advocacy, we want to emphasize that free culture reflects not only an approach to sharing but an important way to promote autonomy. Our movement should be grounded in the needs of those most exploited by private ownership over technology, information, and media. Songs, films, books, and apps do not need freedom, people do. In these next steps, there remain many critical open questions and unfilled needs. We invite all free culture activists to participate in this ongoing evolution and expansion of our organization and our movement over the coming months. We encourage existing or former participants to reconnect. To join our community, please subscribe to our [discussion list][11].
