Hi Sudoers,
Is there any place to post free stuff for sudo people?
I have a X200 Thinkpad laptop base I'd be happy to pass along to anybody
with a compatible laptop -- I think the X61 Thinkpad series is what it's
for. DVD/CDRW drive included.
But in general, if I have techy stuff to give away -- is there a place I
can post it where people will see? I looked on the wiki, but couldn't find
anything like that...shall I start a page? Would people use it?

Hey all,
At last might's meeting we discussed the prospect of starting a Reboot Fund
to raise money to cover the costs of the move.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Reboot/Fund
I started a spreadsheet to come up with the realistic costs and ultimately
a number to fund-raise:
https://ethercalc.org/sudoreboot
Please add to it and discuss.

Just a reminder the landlord is hosting another rave in the common
area tomorrow night (June 20). We should probably clean up the common
area beforehand. I will try and be there tomorrow morning to help with
that.
Hey all,
We discussed some details for a move-out, this is a schedule that seems to
make sense:
==Move Out==
Schedule:

* 6/25 : Big Truck Moving Day (1337 cr3w, sign up w/ Steve nsw(a)sonic.net)
(Weds)
* 6/27 - 6/29 : Clean-up, polish! (Fri - Sun)

We had something wonderful going with Sudo Kids. iirc, people from
Hayward were actually driving up here for it. I hope very much that we
can reboot this at our new space.
Vicky has been talking to the OUSD after school program. Oakland
International school is a few blocks from the omni.
I was going to do another library teenzone event this month but burned
out with Omni stuff. TBA.
With respect to the diversity of human kinship structure, I would much
prefer to frame this as accessibility for all ages, rather than
"families vs singles".
Dear All,
As many of you know I'll be speaking at the Techonomy Bio conference on
participatory biology and I just spoke with David the CEO of Techonomy and
we discussed ensuring that the entire biohacker/hacker community is able to
attend regardless of financial means.
http://techonomy.com/conf/bio/
David was very generous in extending an invitation to everyone in the
community to ensure affordability wasn't an issue, if you'd like to attend
please email Tim (cc'd in this email) and David directly and they'll ensure
that the cost of attendance isn't an issue for anyone who would like to
join from the community.
Looking forward to seeing many of you today and onwards with the future,
hacking and collaboration :)
All the best,
Ryan

I got a report that the sudo door stepper motor is making noises but not
turning anything.
Sounds like a bad connection somewhere.
I'm out of town for a bit. Maybe someone else can take a look at it?

I left my power adapter on the main table inside sudoroom. Can someone who
is there stash it somewhere (and let me know where) so I can pick it up in
the morning? It's a small hp laptop adapter.
Thanks!
In this last East bay express there was an article "Hacking local in
Hayward" about a new hackerspaces Hayhackers. The article emphasizes their
young education aspects. Then a quote from Christina Depulta on other East
bay hackerspaces :
"they're either young singles or techies and software engineers or mothers
with children. We wanted to have a space for everybody. "
Do you think this is a valid rubric for a hackerspace's demographic, and
does sudo fit into one category? I wonder if having that kind of all
inclusive space is even a fantasy holy grail?
Just pondering the current state of our sudo-populous as we've now come to
be a reference point for new hackerspaces to judge themselves by.

Hi all,
Just wanted to remind people that there will be a cryptoparty tomorrow
at 2. While some of our regulars are out of town, we have a number of
new and qualified additions to our community, and some definite interest
in activism-focused crypto practices. This is for people of all levels
of comfort with tech and crypto tools - we'll help you put whatever you
want on your machines, as well as theoretical best practices and
vulnerabilities
Happy hacking,

Cables, were a bit of a mess (now just half).
I ended up removing about 9 unneeded cables.
Replaced the patch cable that was going from the router to the switch.
I found the modem hanging because of that.
Also, there was a loop in the DLink switch. Not good. no wonder the

Folks, I have a Ford F-150 truck that is pretty rank from countless
spilled bean dishes left to molder, but can also be used in a pinch and
to police up random items left over from the big push with the 24'
rental truck. My first (and so far only) wife promised to help me clean
it for my birthday, so maybe that can happen first, certainly by the
solstice. I've also got dollies, if needed, and will bring liquid
entertainment.
I'm a little daunted by the big move, but I'll keep my craven cowardice
to myself. Nothing can stop us!
e
Everything looked pretty normal at the room when I swung by this evening
with pizza and bread, so I gather the big push to start packing up
hasn't started, and probably won't for another week.

Hi everyone,
I've been talking to Yar about having an introductory talk/workshop on
anarchist approaches to feminism at the Sudo Room on 22nd June. It would
be aimed at a 101 level - my plan for this was primarily to fill a gap
that I often see with many people coming to feminism through
dissatisfaction with the tech community, and therefore not having access
to some of the radical histories and frameworks that might be useful.
I've included a provisional overview and brief bio below. I'm open to
suggestions about what time would be best (Yar suggested afternoons are
better), and about how to make the workshop a useful contribution to the
Sudo Room. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. If
this seems like late notice to pull together the workshop and advertise
it, but people are still interested, another option is for me to give it
in September, when I'm next in the Bay Area.
best,
sky.
Anarchafeminism 101
This workshop is a brief introduction to anarchist strands of feminism.
It aims to provide an overview of the history and concepts that underpin
anarchafeminism, and to open up discussion about how anarchafeminist
approaches might be useful today. Reclaiming our radical histories
provides us with vital resources. For those frustrated with mainstream,
predominantly liberal or neo-liberal feminism, anarchafeminism offers
helpful frameworks for thinking about class, race, gender relations,
organising methods, and feminists' relationship to the state.
About me:
I'm a teacher, researcher, and activist currently based in Toronto. My
work focuses on how activists use and shape technology, and about how to
build possibilities for radical social change. You can find out more
about me here: http://skycroeser.net

Hey all,
Tensions have been running high for some at sudo room these days.
*EVERYONE* should celebrate the love and support that truly flows from and
through the sudo community. This spirit is real and deserves designation,
vindication.
In this regard, please hear these sentiments from a discussion at our
weekly meeting this evening:
1. Let us be explicit: we have problems, including as of late the
over-use and abuse of our space by merely a small number of opportunistic
individuals, in spite and in the face of our community.
2. Together, let us raise our standards of expectation for use of the
sudo room space, for members and non-members alike! Let us make these
standards clear and known!
3. The time is nigh to organize and pack our things; we are moving, let
us leave this place with grace and arrive refreshed, prepared.

I think this would be a great event to have at Sudo, and an
opportunity for our community to have more conversations about our
approach to activism and politics, and ways we can support everybody
in our communities. Sky is open to tailoring a facilitated discussion
specifically for us, but it would help a lot if people interested
could say so in advance and let us know what questions and subjects
are most relevant to them. Either way I look forward to seeing you all
there. Thanks and yay!

There was even more enthusiasm on the omni logistics list!
I will add it to the calendar. What copy should I use?
These are the proposed changes brought up at the current sudo room meeting.
We will attempt to consense on this at the sudo room meeting on Wednesday
the 21st of May at 7 pm in sudo room.
===Section 2.1 Qualifications for Membership===
[...]
* Successfully completing the process for becoming a member, below:
====Section 2.1.0 Process for becoming a member====
#'''Declaration of Intent to Join'''
#* To become a member, a person must submit a brief written or spoken
"Declaration
of Intent to Join" where they answer the following questions:
#** What is your (pseudo)nym and/or name?
#** Why do you want to be a member of sudo room?
#** What are you excited about hacking at sudo room?
#** What are you excited about sharing with sudo room?
#'''Initial Pondering'''
#* It is only possible to become a member at the weekly sudo room meeting.
Prospective members should attend if possible but can submit a written
declaration if they are not able to attend in person.
#* At the sudo room weekly meeting, every prospective member must leave the
room while the existing members have a chance to bring up any concerns or
reasons why the prospective member(s) should not be allowed membership
(referred to as the "Initial Pondering").
#** The intent is for it to be very easy for new members to join, so only
very serious concerns should be brought up.
#** If any existing member objects to a prospective new member becoming a
member, and this cannot be resolved through discussion, then the
prospective member will not be allowed membership.
#** Unreasonable or frequent blocking of new members by an existing member
is grounds for immediate termination of membership based on a 2/3 vote.
#* Upon completing the "Initial Pondering", such prospective members must
be communicated to the sudo room mailing list within 24 hours, including
their "Declaration of Intent to Join".
#'''Extended Pondering'''
#* After the Initial Pondering, if there are no objections, there will be
one week for sudo room members to raise objections as to why the
prospective member should not be allowed to join (referred to as the
"Extended Pondering").
#* If there are no objections raised during the "Extended Pondering",
the prospective
member will become a member.
#** The intention is to provide sufficient time to ensure all concerns of
those unable to attend the meeting may be heard.
#* The new member will be added to the membership list and given access to
desired and relevant assets and services of sudo room.
#* No announcement of this change of status after the "Extended
Pondering"is necessary
.
Last week, our Gittip dropped by over $100/week. It seems like they
were purging expired cards, or made some other changes to their
system? Either way, please log into Gittip and confirm that you are
actually still giving the amount you originally signed up for. And
thanks for funding Sudo!
We got this message asking if we wanted 96 hours of effort from some bright
young talents. BAVC pays, we just mentor them. Clearly this is good for us.
Only, I can't see an obvious way that their skills fit with our current
projects. Does a budding 3d-animator/web-designer, or a Java/security
expert intrigue anyone?

21 Technologies That Will Decentralize the World
By Nina Misuraca Ignaczak
Feb 19 2014
<http://www.shareable.net/blog/21-technologies-that-will-decentralize-the-wo…>
Across the planet, new technologies and business models are decentralizing power and placing it in the hands of communities and individuals.
"We are seeing technology-driven networks replacing bureacratically-driven hierarchies," says VC and futurist Fred Wilson, speaking on what to expect in the next ten years. View the entire 25-minute video below (it's worth it!) and then check out the 21 innovations below. Thanks to Jenny Ryan whose Open Garden newsletter inspired this post.
Here are 21 innovations that will help make it happen:
1. Open Garden
[snip]
FYI,
Timon was given verbal and written notice on the night of Thursday May
22, that he is not welcome at Sudoroom. At the following meeting,
Wednesday May 28, 13/13 members present consensed on this statement:
"Regardless of Timon's current membership status, we find him in 'bad
standing' with regard to sudo room's values, specifically with regard
to 'safe space'. We ban Timon from the sudo room, for an indefinite
period."
This was not a conflict resolution process, it was a ban in the
interest of safe space.That same meeting also consented generally that
2141 tenants don't have an inherent right to our common space and need
specific permission to access it.
BAPS has a policy of honoring all Sudoroom bans.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-05-28#Bans
In a perfect world we would offer endless compassion, restoration and
reparation towards all beings. In this world, we don't have the time
or resources to provide the care everybody needs. We sincerely hope
they can find it elsewhere.
Timon,
your excessively rambling email is yet another example that you don't care
about anyone but yourself.
you've been given way too many chances to act like a reasonable human
being at sudoroom and 2141 broadway in general, and have shown no
interest in doing so. You won't even take responsibility for your lack of
food and housing, suggesting it is someone else's fault.
Instead you seem to believe only in non-consensual domination-based
relationships, where you try to overpower people with unwanted dialogue
and the kind of persistance that comes with having nothing else to do.
nobody is obliged to provide you with anything. And given the way you
treat all of my friends, as described above, i would prefer you stay away
from sudoroom and 2141 broadway, as was consensed upon by sudoroom.
your suggestion that ChrisBee wanted a fight with you when he informed you
that sudoroom has declared you unwelcome is ridiculous. Anyone who knows
you knows that the trouble all comes from you. please stay the fuck away.

We are looking for a competent individual who can help the Omni
Collective obtain insurance before our move-in on July 1! Can you help?

Hello friends,
I am hoping to find someone who would be willing to manage the process of
liasing with the insurance agencies we are in conversation with regarding
insurance for the Omni.
This will require a bit of a commitment - possible around an hour a day.
*It is incredibly important to note that, without insurance, we will
not be
able to take possession of the building.*
We must sort out our insurance BEFORE we move in on July 1st.
I am of the opinion that, while the insurance agencies will likely need to
speak with someone from each collective at some point, one person
should be
the main point of contact and see the whole process through to completion.
The insurance agencies move a bit slowly when left to their own devices so
who ever takes this on should be willing to apply some pressure to make
sure that things keep moving forward.
David has already done a ton of the preliminary work.
Here's what needs to happen first:
* Each member group: Please provide a name / phone number / email address
for whomever will be the point of contact within your organization for the
insurance agency. Ideally, we need this information *today*.
*PLEASE BE AWARE:*
* Every corporation **WILL** need their own insurance
* Every unincorporated association **MAY** need their own insurance.
Please contact me if you have questions.
If I do not hear from delegates today, I (or rather, the kind and generous
soul who volunteers to spearhead this) will be calling you!!!
Niki

Hi Sudo folks
I'm having trouble with dragon crashing/working super slow a lot. I definitely need to get it going smooth in the next
couple weeks because I'll need it for an online class. Does anyone have knowledge with this program? I think I may
have the wrong headset or version for my operating system, or there may be something else going on.
Thanks in advance for your time!!

"The Gig, which serves over 60,000 customers, was built because EPB [(the
local power company)] decided to upgrade its power grid. The company’s main
mission was to wire their customers’ homes with fiber optic cables that
could communicate meter readings and manage power at a lower cost than the
outdated systems used elsewhere. The fiber optic network also allowed EPB
to reroute power during storms, helping the company prevent or quickly fix
outages without the help of large crews.
"The fast Internet, along with TV and phone service, essentially
piggybacked on EPB’s new electrical grid."
You pedagogical and open knowledge radicals might be interested in meeting
these folks and participating. :]

Hey everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I met with a really neat educator named Darshan
Campos. She and some of her collaborators are putting on a mapping party of
the educational ecosystem of the East Bay, and will be using Oakland Wiki
and Local Wiki for this purpose! Below is her invite. I will be there over
the Internets. ;]
WHEN: *June 21st, 10a-5:30p*
WHERE: *South Berkeley Public Library // The Internet*
RSVP: *link below*
~~~
I'd love for you to join us for MEEP: Mapping Educational Ecosystems
Project <http://www.meepwiki.org/>'s first community learning lab.
MEEP aims to help solve one of today’s biggest challenges - how to build
learning institutions that work for people at all stages of life, from
birth until natural death. Our core values
<http://www.meepwiki.org/#%21values/c12fe> are rooted in community
informatics and the knowledge sharing revolution, which is at the heart of
Oakland Wiki.
At our lab <http://www.meepwiki.org/#%21lab/c8f4>, we'll map our
community's educational ecosystem, its many centers for learning and
teaching. We'll also practice cooperative learning techniques such as
spatial mapping, visual thinking, and affinity mapping. Our community
learning lab is on 21 June 2014 from *10:00 - 5:30 pm* at the *South
Berkeley Public Library*.
As a participant, you'll enrich our community's lens for education and
spread the word and worldview of community informatics. You'd also find
allies and form natural partnerships with individuals and organizations
that promote community learning. Plus, you'll eat tasty treats!
If you can join us, please RSVP
<http://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-learning-lab-for-meep-mapping-educati…>.
If have any questions or feedback, please email me.
Paz, Darshan

Hey sudo!
Tonight we went over the Omni lease that was sent out late last night.
At tonight's meeting, a consensus proposal was passed to empower me to
represent the spirit of sudo in signing this lease on sudo's behalf
before our next meeting (probably Friday or Monday), or in selecting
someone else to do it if necessary (I'm out of town starting Saturday).
The final version of the lease we have now is the result of no less
than a month's worth of daily negotiating between the owner and David
Keenan - meetings typically ranging from 3-5 hours a day. David's been
working his ass off on our behalf under the guidance of the Omni
Collective's lawyer, Jesse Palmer, who has extensive experience with
the kind of weird, co-opy property negotiations we're currently
undergoing. We are in good hands, and very nearly (99%) there!
I recommend that anyone interested in the details of our lease read it
over tonight and attend tomorrow's Omni meeting (7pm at 2141
Broadway), during which Jesse, our lawyer, will again be present to
answer any questions. Please see last night's email for the link, and
email me privately if access is not rapidly granted.
See the full meeting notes for details on the lease and questions
answered by Jesse at tonight's meeting - or if you are merely
interested in what everyone's favorite phase change is:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-06-04
Our move-in date upon signing is officially July 1st, though we can
begin storing things there this month.
\o/
hack the planet!

Is this the kind of awesome junk we want at Omni, or what? Full disclosure
several people at the FNB meeting think I'm insane but I say this is
completely awesome. I pushed on the peddles, seems responsive. Definitely
rusty and dirty, you know uncertain functionality etc but I think a
keeper!... i'm trying to arrange a ride for it-maybe you?- or stop me if
you think this is completely insane. Its on Shattuck off Woolsey.
See picture...

Thanks so much for the write-up, Jenny! I will be there!

Hey sudo!
It's come to my attention that some folks are concerned about the
abuse of the common space in particular by certain non-members. This
is a friendly reminder that any sudo room member is empowered to ask a
non-member to leave at any point, with no reason given, and which the
non-member must do unless another member present is willing to vouch
for that person [1]. I recommend gathering 2-3 other folks to approach
the problematic individual, with one person speaking. Such requests
hold water for 12 hours, and repeated incidents are perfectly
reasonable to bring to a sudo room meeting for conflict resolution:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_3.2_Conflict_Reso…
Also, a reminder that tenants of 2141 Broadway who are not Sudo Room,
BAPS, Hair Candy, Sound Room, or Robert have no _right_ to access of
the common space - as is legally defined in their leases and unless
permission has been granted by sudo room. This was consensed upon at
last week's meeting.
[1] As it's written in our Articles
(https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association):
Section 5.1 Non-member access
To empower members to deal with problematic non-members:
Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets
(and require the non-member in question to vacate the physical space)
at any time, with no reason given, unless some other member currently
present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member in
question as a guest.
Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the
non-member in question to vacate the physical space), the member must
ask both the non-member and the members present in the space if any
member is vouching for the non-member as a guest.
For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate
the physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may
return after 12 hours.
Section 5.2 Domestic Use
The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the
abundance of resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of
those resources is unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to
fulfill the basic human need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a
creative community and hacker space, must maintain a division between
habitation and usage of the space. As such the following are resolved:
sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic
purposes.
No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time.
Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must
leave immediately.
Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or
permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its
physical space.
Also, a reminder that a core sudoroom value is:
7. Value safe space over ideology.
Let's keep our space a safe space for people to be, work, make, hack,
and meet!
Much love,
Jenny

Hello Sudo Room -
Are you and the BAPS friendly to sharing the large room for other,
reasonably compatible meetings? My workplace has recently unionized and
we're holding some worker assemblies without the union organizers
present, to strategize. We're looking for a neutral space to meet,
probably 2-4 pm June 16.
Apologies if this isn't the right channel to ask. Thanks!
LW
