Fwd: Agenda Announced for IDESG May Plenary Meeting <-- online identity workshop!

by aestetix

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Oh hai everyone! If you're one of the rare few who hasn't heard me rant about online identity, now is your chance! May 7-9: IIW workshop (Computer History Museum) May 9-10: IDESG Plenary (see forwarded email) There are two big events coming up in May that I feel are very important. The first is IIW (Internet Identity Workshop), an un-conference where people can collaborate on what they think and want to future of online identity to be. http://iiw16.eventbrite.com/ for more. The second is more personal to me, and the agenda email I'm forwarding, which takes place down the street from IIW with some crossover. It's the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, which is a bunch of government and corporation types trying to create policy for online identity. Pointing specifically to the "Use Case workshop", we want to bring as many people in favor of nym (online pseudonyms and anonyms) rights to educate the IDESG plenary, and make sure our views are heard. While we're already planning a few use cases, we think it's important that everyone has a chance to be heard, even if (especially if) you're non-technical. If getting to the south bay is a challenge for you, we're going to try to set up a carpooling system. Please let me know if you're interested. It's also worth noting that the IDESG plenary is completely free :) Cheers, aestetix PS: you can find more info on http://www.nymrights.org - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Agenda Announced for IDESG May Plenary Meeting Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 12:12:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Identity Ecosystem Steering Group Secretariat <idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com> Reply-To: idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com To: aestetix(a)aestetix.com IDESG Plenary <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/register-attend-4th-plenary-meeting> * Register to Attend * *Santa Clara * *Plenary Meeting* *May 9-10, 2013* *<https://www.idecosystem.org/page/register-attend-4th-plenary-meeting> * * *What:* 4th IDESG Plenary Meeting * *When:* Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 AM (PT) to Friday, May 10 at 5:00 PM (PT) o Held immediately following the IIW Conference which is May 7-9, 2013 nearby at the Computer Museum. * *Where:* The Network Meeting Center in Silicon Valley's TechMart o 5201 Great America Parkway, Suite 122 o Santa Clara, CA 95054 * List of Area Hotels <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/4th-plenary-meeting-hotels> * Sponsorship Opportunities <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/4th-plenary-sponsorship-opportunities> *IDESG May Plenary Agenda* *Thursday, May 9, 2013* * 8:30 a.m.: Welcome; Introduction of New Leadership Team * 9:00 a.m.: Introduction of Management Council Work Planning Subcommittee o Work Planning Document o Work Products Adoption Process * 10:00 a.m.: Break * 10:15 a.m.: Use Case Workshop * 12:15 p.m.: Lunch on your own * 1:15 p.m.: Use Case Workshop continued * 3:45 p.m.: Break * 4:00 p.m.: NSTIC Pilots Update * 6:00 p.m.: Day One Wrap-up * 6:30 p.m.: Happy Hour *Friday, May 10, 2013* * 8:00 a.m.: Success Metrics o Organizational and Identity Ecosystem Health Discussion * 8:45 a.m.: Business Plan Subcommittee Value Proposition and Sustainability Planning * 9:30 a.m.: Terms and Definitions * 10:00 a.m.: Break * 10:15 a.m.: Committee Breakouts (6 at a time) * 11:45 a.m.: Lunch on your own * 1:00 p.m.: Committee Breakouts (other 6 committees) * 2:30 p.m.: Privacy Committee Report on PEM 2.0 * 3:30 p.m.: Break * 3:45 p.m.: Plenary Wrap-up: Work Plan Alignment with Plenary Results, Gap Analysis, and Next Steps *Stay Connected* Like us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/idecosystem> Follow us on Twitter <https://twitter.com/id_eco_system> View our profile on LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/groups/NSTIC-Identity-Ecosystem-Steering-Group-4623…> View our videos on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/user/idecosystem> Identity Ecosystem Steering Group Secretariat | www.idecosystem.org <http://www.idecosystem.org> Forward this email <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=tj5tlvlab&m=1112039618867&ea=…> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001I0y-z-nW30yzaTaEMHimRlsBi…> This email was sent to aestetix(a)aestetix.com by idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com <mailto:idecosystem@trustedfederal.com> | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001I0y-z-nW30yzaTaEMHimRlsBi…>™ | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp>.

Instant 24/7 access? Do we allow for this? And how?

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Just thought I would point this out, since it came up earlier in the dues thread. But, Marc's point(a very good marketing point about 24/7 access), has as a big security exception, we didn't really talk about, probably mostly because of time. Basically, it's easy for us to think "hey, we should let this person have access, because they seem cool, and we want to remain open," but even I get sketched out at night sometimes, and there are real safety issues at work here, and we should discuss them in relation to cost/benefits for the space. It's also entirely possible that we trust someone, and they just do something bad anyway. We don't really spend a lot of time thinking about this, but this is something we haven't had to really deal with yet, because we've had really shitty access up until now. I don't know if my survey asked this question properly, but I was trying to see if 24/7 access was worth more to people as a value, but I think for some people it could be a safety draw-back, and at least in 1 case this is true. I also am not sure it's really something we should be promoting, if we do decide on it being okay for members to do. If anyone wants to post about how they feel about this(I think it really is about feelings in this case, because it's about promoting membership and establishing wants/needs), then please feel free to reply here. Thanks, Rusty **

Biofridge

by Craig Rouskey

Hello all, last night at the general meeting Marc and I brought up the use of a small fridge at Sudo for use as a reagents storage fridge (bio fridge). 15 folks consented to the use of the fridge to store reagents associated with the propagation of Gonorrhea. THERE WILL BE NO GONORRHEA in the fridge, just the agar plates and broth we need to culture the organism at a later date in our community lab. I just wanted to see if there were any e-objections. If not, I will Devon and start storing reagents in the fridge. Craig — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone

Re: [sudo-discuss] Help with dinner tonight? (WAS: Food and the absence therein)

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Ive been making soups in the crockpot and can continue doing the same. I left miso and greens in the fridge, another stop at Koreana Plaza for rice noodles, oyster mushrooms, green onion, and tofu should do. Feel free to grab other things for a soup too. The trick is to heat up the crockpot with a bit of water or soup base, then use the water boiler above the sink for the boiling. Basically a simple hotspot, nothing needs more than a 10 minutes of hot water to cook. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Yardena Cohen" <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Help with dinner tonight?

Re: [sudo-discuss] TIL: Hacking Sexual Health

by Romy Ilano

This is a great idea! In the 1990s I used to go to some punk rock feminist women's health talks. One session had us doing self-examinations using speculums with mirrors. I'd like to throw that into the "stone soup" of a mix! http://www.fwhc.org/health/selfcare.htm - I'm unsure how comfortable most women would be doing self-examinations in front of men. - Using speculums and mirrors was very informative! I never realized how most women are taught to think of their privates as dirty--so much so to the point that they didn't know how their lady parts worked!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Instant 24/7 access? Do we allow for this? And how?

Honestly I'm not comfortable linking access to payment, for a lot of reasons, but I'll try to outline the most salient thing for me right now: * I don't think access means anything if a person can't feel safe here * I don't feel safe when I'm at the space all alone * I feel even better when I'm sharing the space with multiple people who I know and trust * Our goal should be for the space to be full of known & trusted people -- if not always, then as much as possible * It would be silly to turn anybody away at that point So my goal day in and day out is to look for ways to expand Sudoroom's web of trust - not just get people to the space, not just facilitate and encourage them giving money to the space, but helping them feel happy and comfortable and like they could be a part of a community, and that coming here will give them a chance to hack awesome things, work on their projects, get inspired for new projects. I'm open to solutions in the form of rules and algorithms, but I'm skeptical of any solutions that seem to close doors (literally & figuratively) because Sudoroom and hackerspaces in general are so new and experimental. The scepter of an untrusted person being alone in the space is important, but I honestly don't see a good reliable antidote other than "add more trusted people." Safety in numbers.

Survey on Money at the space(please reply to this)

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, I am writing because it was discussed at the meeting tonight that we don't really have an idea of how much people want to pay for the space ,and also if people think the current payment approach is good based on some alternatives that were brought up. I'd also like to ask about basic productizing to see if people would be interested in using some of our funds to get t-shirts and stickers, and maybe even decorated key-cards like hacker conferences do for hotel rooms. So, can everyone answer these questions(below)? I know it's not perfect research, but I think it covers most of what came up in the meeting. Questions: 1. How much would you pay for current membership, with access as planned? 2. How much would you pay for current membership with 24/7 access to the space(i.e. new door cards on next payment)? 3. Would you be okay with spending some money on re-branding of the space(even if it doesn't mean changing our logo), by getting more t-shirts and stickers? 4. Do you think it would it be more attractive to you to have a lower fixed price if you were joining the space, and you got 24/7 access at that moment with a keycard? 5. Would it be more attractive to you if you were joining the space, and you got a free t-shirt and cool looking keycard upon joining or giving some sort of donation "gift" like kickstarter projects give? This is only an attempt to get at some of what we talked about, and I'm hoping that it will kind of shine some light on the amount of money people want to pay et all. Please help out! -- Cheers, Rusty Lindgren **

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Frontend Web Development, April 15: FIRST CLASS of the new series!

by Naomi Most

This is a very good class, always full. Very good for beginners and doesn't stop at HTML/CSS/js. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeffrey Carl Faden <jeffreyatw(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 9:19 PM Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Frontend Web Development, April 15: FIRST CLASS of the new series! To: "noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net" < noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>, noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net, webdev(a)lists.noisebridge.net I'm taking a week's break and returning April 15! Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This weekly lecture series, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at complete beginners who are interested in making websites, as well as seasoned professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest. Frontend web development is all about making code that runs in the browser (versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus on web design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best practices for turning these designs into beautiful code. This is the first class of a new series of classes. If you or your friends been waiting to jump in from the very beginning, this is the class to take - so spread the word. We'll cover the very basics: - Explaining "frontend" vs. "backend" - Discussing tools of the trade - Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior - Writing a basic HTML page - Styling the page with basic CSS - Explaining the role of frontend web development as a job and career The class starts on Monday, April 15 at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive EARLY, as the class will probably fill up very fast. If you can't make it to this week's lecture, you can watch a live video stream of the class. Join this Google+ Event to be notified of when to hop on: *https://plus.google.com/events/cgs3kmasqdu7f7s7i644i5f7e9g* This video stream will also be available to watch after the class is complete. This class and the space in which it's taught are entirely free to attend. Please bring a laptop.

Re: [sudo-discuss] TIL: Hacking Sexual Health

WOW. OK, where to start? First off: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Today_I_Learned#May_4 Table of Contents @Masturbation Lib and Teledildonics @Men @Gonorrhea @Sudo Room Donations @Community Infrastructure @Masturbation Liberation and Teledildonics: Anon195's ideas are amaaaazing! I've been fascinated by teledildonics ever since I heard of the existence of Ted Nelson. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teledildonics> < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nelson> The closest thing to that that I've run into via the hackerspaces has been the Dongiverse, which is cool except that I wouldn't want a sharp, porous plastic dong up any of my orifices. <http://dongiverse.com/> Maybe a class field trip to Arse Elektronica 2013? (AE is an annual SF sex and technology event/conference/thingy.) Or how about getting in touch with their organizers to see if they'd like to collaborate on a workshop? Ooh ideas! <http://www.monochrom.at/arse-elektronika/> Masturbation liberation: Fuck yeah! I think this should be its own TIL and I'm ready to make it happen. Wanna chose a date, Anon195? Or would you like to wait on that until we talk more and/or contact our contacts (such as AE)? **So who's got the teledildonics connection? @Men: Would there be any interest in formulating a men's meetup to talk about, you know, stuff? @Gonorrhea: I think the greatest workshops I've ever been to have been variety hours. It's absolutely lovely and fascinating to have educational interludes, kind of like exploring Wikipedia's intertwingularity (see Ted Nelson article). May 4th is reserved! Does anyone else have an educational interlude they'd like to add to Hacking Menstruation? @Sudo Room Donations: These events are the perfect opportunity for us to pounce upon unsuspecting donors. Please reach far and wide into your networks to advertise this.

about the future (Alan Kay)

by J Clark

Wondered if some sudoers might be interested in this video, with awesome-smart guy Alan Kay and Vishal Sikka of SAP, hosted by futurist guy Paul Saffo. 3.26.13 Technology and Transformation: Vishal Sikka and Alan Kay in Conversation with Paul Saffo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPsZyfGCaKs Ah, tropes, memes, symbols, and change. hurrah! Also on the Alan Kay theme, a written interview: An Interview with Computing Pioneer Alan Kay By David Greelish April 02 2013 <http://techland.time.com/2013/04/02/an-interview-with-computing-pioneer-ala…> Born in 1940, computer scientist Alan Curtis Kay is one of a handful of visionaries most responsible for the concepts which have propelled personal computing forward over the past thirty years — and surely the most quotable one. He’s the man who said that “The best way to predict the future is to invent it” and that “Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born” and that “If you don’t fail at least 90 percent of the time, you’re not aiming high enough.” And when I first saw Microsoft‘s Surface tablet last June, a Kay maxim helped me understand it: “People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.” Above all, however, Kay is known for the Dynabook — his decades-old vision of a portable suite of hardware, software, programming tools and services which would add up to the ultimate creative environment for kids of all ages. Every modern portable computer reflects elements of the Dynabook concept — the One Laptop Per Child project’s XO above all others — and yet none of them have fully realized the concept which Kay was writing about in the early 1970s. Actually, Kay says that some gadgets with superficial Dynabook-like qualities, such as the iPad, have not only failed to realize the Dynabook dream, but have in some senses betrayed it. That’s one of the points he makes in this interview, conducted by computer historian David Greelish, proprietor of the Classic Computing Blog and organizer of this month’s Vintage Computer Festival Southeast in Atlanta. (The Festival will feature a pop-up Apple museum featuring Xerox’s groundbreaking Alto workstation, which Kay worked on, as well as devices which deeply reflected his influence, including the Lisa, the original Macintosh and the Newton.) Kay and Greelish also discuss Kay’s experiences at some of the big outfits where he’s worked, including Xerox’s fabled PARC labs, Apple, Disney and HP. Today, Kay continues his research about children and technology at his own organization, the Viewpoints Research Institute. –Harry McCracken David Greelish: Do you agree that we now essentially have the Dynabook, as expressed in the three tiers of modern personal computing; the notebook, tablet and smartphone? If not, what critical features do you see missing from these? Have they delivered on the promise of improving education? Alan Kay: I have been asked versions of this question for the last twenty years or so. Ninety-five percent of the Dynabook idea was a “service conception,” and five percent had to do with physical forms, of which only one — the slim notebook — is generally in the public view. (The other two were an extrapolated version of Ivan Sutherland’s head mounted display, and an extrapolated version of Nicholas Negroponte’s ideas about ubiquitous computers embedded and networked everywhere.)

Fwd: [Sudo-radio] current set up of SUDORADIO

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, in light of this saturday's audio production workshop, we wanted to share with everyone the current state of the radio, which is basically ready to use! you can listen to mostly silence at the moment at radio.sudoroom.org (HIT THE GREEN BUTTON). i'd be happy to show anyone who's interested how to use the dj software in there, just ask me anytime. i'll also be available before or after this saturday's workshop if people want to learn then. - marina Forwarded conversation Subject: current set up ------------------------ From: *Marina Kukso* <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 11:28 PM To: "sudo-radio(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-radio(a)lists.sudoroom.org> hi everyone, naomi, mark, and i worked on a couple items this evening. the current set up is as follows: 1. there is now a physical mixer that allows you to switch between two channels (so you can switch between 2 different songs, just like turntables :P). [image: Inline image 1] 2. there are 4 lines in in total. (this means we can potentially switch between 4 different sources, like a turntable with 4 RECORDS.) 3. 2 of the lines are currently connected 4. one of the lines goes to the computer set up in there (which means you can play music from the computer) 5. the other line goes to an unhooked mini jack that one can use to play from one's portable music device of choice! [image: Inline image 2] 6. the mixer runs to naomi's rpi which is streaming to her stream, currently accessible at radio.sudoroom.org. 7. the computer still works as it used to - the mic is connected to the computer and you can use mixxx to queue songs and speak on the mic. (the physical mixer also has a separate mic input, so there's that!) audacity is also on that computer, allowing one to record audio. addenda 1. the beast (aka "tiny") is no longer connected :( which means no more tapes :( BUT we can easily reconnect him as there are still 2 empty inputs on the mixer. the only reason we disconnected him was because it was returning crappy sound. [image: Inline image 3] 2. every time we listen to tapes in there, i get this song stuck in my head for the rest of the day: http://hypem.com/track/1e7xa/Blouse+-+Videotapes 3. here's what the room looks like! [image: Inline image 4][image: Inline image 5] so pretty! wow! :D ---------- From: *Naomi Most* <pnaomi(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 12:11 AM To: Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com> Cc: "sudo-radio(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-radio(a)lists.sudoroom.org> It must be noted, Rusty slid in at about 10:15 -- technically AFTER the meeting ended! -- and tried to get the cassette deck going again. Alas (TL;DR) to no avail. The Tape output of Tiny the Behemoth Mixer comes in all distorted on the little radio mixer (something about impedance). We must have spent 20 minutes on every-which-way combinations, and all we got was something that sounded like a live radio feed from an 80s dance party... ...which of course Rusty was totally into, so I think it's still hooked up. But please, don't use this... much.... also, I "installed" that laptop I brought so that people can play with liquidsoap. It's at 192.168.1.246 Anybody can have an account, just ask. --Naomi _______________________________________________ > Sudo-radio mailing list > Sudo-radio(a)lists.sudoroom.org > http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-radio > >
