That having been said, I also would stand by Marc's actions. There should be some way to put a temporary suspension on an email address in the immediate term to stop a barrage of emails as a cooling off mechanism. I think it's worth acknowledging how thankless a job running a listserv can be and thank Marc for doing it for as long as he has, with very little help, and while being admirably responsive. I've never done that job myself, and don't envy the position.

Re: [sudo-discuss] cargo tricycle & burley bike trailer on CL

Could this proposed list be more broadly a community marketplace, that allows people to offer their goods or services specifically to the sub-section of Sudo folks opt-in interested? I would imagine that such an exchange would also encourage barter of goods and services within the community. In the long term, perhaps an alternative commodity exchange could be supported.

Fwd: [!SUDO-INFO!] hosting benefit for legal fund?

by Marc Juul

What do you all think? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Nevada M.* Date: Sunday, November 3, 2013 Subject: [!SUDO-INFO!] hosting benefit for legal fund? To: "info(a)sudoroom.org" <info(a)sudoroom.org> HI there, I'm one of the folks organizing support for the two people who are facing felony charges after the Trayvon Martin demonstrations this summer. We're looking for venue where we might be able to host a benefit dinner + movie showing, and somebody mentioned that I should contact the Sudo Room because they thought you all might be down. Is that something that you all might be willing to host? We're putting together this effort on pretty short notice, and we're hoping to have the event on the 15th of this month, but if that date won't work for you all we'd definitely love to talk about other dates, too! Thanks very much, Nevada

Books to donate

by Alex Kerfoot

Hi, I've never been to sudo room before, but I've heard great things about it, most recently at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair and I have some math and programming reference books that I'd love to donate if you're interested in them. Can anyone let me know if someone is there to let me in right now, or will be within the next hour? If not, can you let me know when would be a good time to drop by? -Alex

there are no LPFM slots on the FM band in the bay area, period.

by Jake

For everyone who has been hearing this talk about getting an LPFM lisence for sudoroom (which would be absolutely impractical, impossible and inappropriate) you can stop wasting your time by acknowledging one fact: the LPFM rules currently require "2nd adjacency" meaning there have to be at least two empty notches on the radio dial (each odd tenth is a notch) it is _possible_ to apply for a waiver of 2nd adjacency, but the only way it is accepted is in extreme circumstances where there just happens to be overlap in an UNPOPULATED area. This does not apply to the bay area. If you want to read about it, here's the link: http://home.recnet.com/lpfm-second there are zero FM slots in the greater bay area without a 2nd adjacent. as someone who has helped several LPFM stations get started and stay on the air, and who personally lobbied the FCC for the Local Community Radio Act, I can tell you unequivocally that even if there were a frequency open for sudoroom, we would be very foolish to apply for, let alone accept, such a thing. i really don't want to talk about it so please don't reply to me. thank you -jake

Holacracy!

by Eddan Katz

Those who have expressed interest in a co-operative model of organizational development would be interested in Holacracy, which Janelle Orsi of the Sustainable Economies Law Center, promotes in her lectures. From today's blog post about a new Holacracy 'app': > In a typical top-down management structure, the power to hire and fire employees is generally in the hands of managers. With Holacracy at play, the game is entirely different: with the decentralization of authority, the separation of people and role, and the dynamic evolution of those roles, we end up with a situation that looks more like free agents going about their work with no central planning. There might not even be a single person who knows about everything you do. This then begs the question: who can decide how and when to hire or fire? > > Holacracy doesn’t answer that question; it simply gives you a framework and processes for your company to figure it out. In other words, if Holacracy is an “operating system” for organizations, the “hire-and-fire” function is an “app” that needs to be added separately. > The Holacracy newsletter forwarded below also includes a link to the Dec. 3 workshop ($125) they'll be hosting in San Francisco. > > > Happy Halloween Friend! > > If you follow us on social channels, you might already know that HolacracyOne just released a new "Partnership App", and it's freely available. > > What do we mean by "app"? It extends the metaphor of Holacracy as an “operating system” for organizations. I like this comparison because it accurately reflects what Holacracy is, as well as what it isn't. On a computer, the operating system provides a basic framework for “apps” to function harmoniously in the same environment. Similarly, Holacracy provides a basic framework for how to decide, but it doesn't tell you what you should decide for your business. In other words, it doesn’t answer typical business questions such as “what’s our employee compensation system?”, or “how to allocate resources?”. > > There are many different ways of answering these questions and Holacracy doesn’t choose one for you — that's the domain of "apps". At HolacracyOne, we've adopted a new "app" to define how our partnership functions work, and although it is still experimental, it's fleshed out enough to share it with you. Check it out in our blog post! > > Olivier Compagne > HolacracyOne > A “Partnership App” For Holacracy-Powered Companies > > The question was: “How can we account for the difference between partners deeply committed to the organization, and those for whom the commitment is lesser and more temporary?” > Read Blog Post → > Past Blog Posts > > > Integrate Perspectives > On many teams, critical perspectives are ignored or dismissed when they’re not shared by the leader or by the majority. > Read → > > Organization vs. Tribe > “It is an inappropriate use of love and care to use love and care to get something done” — David Allen > Read → > Trainings on the West Coast > > > Intro Workshop in San Francisco, CA — Dec 3, 2013 > Kindly hosted by IDEO on the bayfront... don't miss it! > Intro Workshop in Las Vegas, NV — Jan 31, 2014 > Practitioner Training in Las Vegas, NV — Feb 1-5, 2014 > With the vibrant Downtown Project nearby... > Oh, and do you know that Brian Robertson gives aIntro Webinar tomorrow Friday?

last minute late night ideas : re: our organizing and collective democratic work

by spectral imix

https://sudoroom.org/social-web-alterna-verse-ideas-and-ramblings/ (please do feel free to edit and improve =) Greets. As a continuing learner of all things HTML, CSS and web design, usability and UX (User Experience analysis and UI User Interface design related) I wanted to post about a couple interesting web server and communication projects being developed in the aether: Lorea.org ( http://lorea.org/?page_id=43) N-1.Cc ( https://n-1.cc/g/hacklabs ) n-1.cc/g/lorea, Pump dot io: a source code version of IDENTI.CA (This site runs pump.io, the high-performance Open Source social engine. It pumps your life in and out of your friends, family and colleagues.) https://github.com/e14n/pump.io Ideas about our organizing and collective democratic workplace . I.e. Pay model and work / class share model equality work place safe and equal profit sharing suggestions: No BAWC http://nobawc.live.radicaldesigns.org/article.php?id=35 " The organizational materials include bylaws and policies from democratic workplaces. The purpose of this collection is to help existing and start-up democratic workplaces develop their structures by providing real-world examples from other democratic workplaces." I am a single entity (one person) who also happens to work on designs that aren't just for "non profits" or social "change" yet I envy / would like to replicate the egalitarian profit sharing structure of such entities as the cheeseboard collective in berkeley, the Arizmendi Bakery in oakland and the Design Action.org organisation in Oakland: http://designaction.org/services/ I was also doing some research on Grassroots Economic Organizing vis a vis a model of structural worker bees (technology workers union, wobblies or IWW) and or a labor pool of skilled, willing and eager and fun and friendly workers who know tech and can also do skilled work (that pays) without a boss/ employee hierarchical structure: these are some other ideas that I found: http://www.geo.coop/about "Grassroots Economic Organizing (GEO) is a decentralized collective of educators, researchers and grassroots activists working to promote an economy based on democratic participation, worker and community ownership, social and economic justice, and ecological sustainability--a "solidarity economy"--through grassroots journalism, organizing support, cross-sector networking and movement-building and the publication of educational and organizational resources. Since 1991, GEO has edited and printed a bi-monthly publication called GEO Newsletter, providing news, analysis and an open forum on grassroots organizing to build and finance worker- and community-owned, democratically run, solidarity-based, ecologically sustainable enterprises and organizations. In 2007, due to the increasing challenges of print publication and our desire to reach a wider audience, we shifted to an all web-based publication here at www.geo.coop. GEO is a founding organizational member of the Data Commons Project, a collaborative effort to create a shared, public database of the cooperative economy in North America" The replication of Arizmendi: http://www.geo.coop/replication-of-arizmendi "steps : ) 1)Establish an organizing group. This group will facilitate replication, but will not necessarily own the developed cooperative. In our current case the organizing group, the DSC, started as a volunteer study group. The DSC still works only part time on development, as our financial capacity to start a new business is not constant. One of the four of our current group has worked in a member bakery; the others have legal, financial, and organizational expertise. 2) Choose a business model to replicate. This involves not only choosing the right cooperative business, but also convincing its members to allow you to replicate it. What's in it for them? Would the replication compete with their business? Would it increase their visibility and therefore revenue? Is there any financial return? In our case the Cheese Board had the financial strength to request very little in return. The creation of more democratic jobs did align with their values, and the Association can now offer support services to them, but their willingness was primarily an act of solidarity and generosity. For other replications, including future business models the Arizmendi Association may pursue, the organizers may not be so lucky." p.s. please accept my lack of proof reading as it's late and I have alot of ideas i just didn't want to throw away in the browser cache also: I wanted to share this and open the discussion up. Also : I have some minor ideas for weekly music/dancing/fund (FUN) raising ideas that would highly supplement the living and working stipends of those involved in the entity that is SR as it is and help ease the financial pinch of the Cost of Rent and Cost of Exisiting in DT Oak. (email me off list for a suggested idea and proposal). Cheers!

Re: [sudo-discuss] temporary email suspensions

by Lovelle Mixon

Running a listserv is a completely thankless job. You're just witnessing how giovanni_re/john fastmail/john/john regan works. I don't think he's a bad person. He's not assaulting anyone. He is genuinely excited about computers and Linux and communities and free software. His usual mode is he joins a free culture/ community/open source software community mailing list, and then every few months or so starts cross posting interesting links or forwarding emails from one list to the other, no editing, just WHAM here read email from this other place, not realizing that if someone wants to read email from the other mailing list, they would just JOIN that mailing list, no need to forward it. He's been doing this for over 10 years. He'll be doing it long after sudoroom is gone. You usually don't notice what's happening because he's on a LOT of mailing lists, and annoying each of the mailing lists is a lot of work, so he doesn't get around to forwarding stuff to your mailing list until about a month in the cycle. Sometimes he gets super excited about something ( RADIO! ) and starts concentrating on your particular community, and boom you get the 10 emails in 1 hour problem you just saw. Unknown how to properly deal with him. People don't join his list BerkeleyTIP so he feels the need to branch out. Personally, I think it would help if he fixed the links on his site that are broken and updated and are over 4 years old now. That would be a great start. John, you have a perfectly good wiki over on BerkeleyTIP. You could update it with spectrum FCC radio announcements. You've been trying to get inspire Noisebridge and Sudoroom to grab some spectrum of their own. Getting your website in order would be a good start.

Anyone good with an airbrush?

by Steve Berl

I'm working on a scale model of the Gale Crater on Mars as a volunteer for Chabot Space & Science Center. It's going to show the Curiosity Rover (MSL) landing sight, where it has travelled, and where it is headed. I'm making the model by stacking up layers of 0.1" chipboard sheets topo map style. Once it's built it needs to be painted to look like Mars. I'm color blind, so probably not the right guy to do this finish work. Also, don't have any experience doing a realistic looking gradients, etc. Anyone out there interested in helping? -- -steve

a one-page doc on do-ocracy, and a question

by Danny Spitzberg

Hey, Sudoers there's been a whole lotta talk and excitement about "do-ocracy" and, occasionally, adhocracy. That's rad! I'd like to question the notion that "do-ocracy" is the logical end of collective efforts. In my view, do-ocracy is a great practice and ethic that is best served embedded in a loaf baked with intention, care, and... democracy. To substantiate that, I'd like to share a one-page doc I composed that situates do-ocracy as a phase between two others, one the early "dream" state and the other an advanced "democracy" (so-called). While these phases exist on a gradient and can (and should) organically bleed into one another, there are important distinctions and caveats. I hope this sparks some constructive conversation around accountability and alignment within the group. Really, I do! warmly, very warmly, Danny [image: Inline image 1]

Help us plan a BIG First Friday this week!

by Yardena Cohen

Tonight's meeting has morphed enthusiastically into a planning session for this week's first friday / art murmur. In two days, we'll be at the intersection of: * Halloween / Day of the Dead / All Souls * Sudoroom's first anniversary of moving into our current space * Filing our corp papers in Sacramento * Expanding to new spaces & new ventures So we're going to throw a birthday party for ourselves on Friday night. We're going to bill it as an Art Murmur afterparty from around 7pm to 2am. It will be advertised as having a fundraiser component (donation pitches + raffle), but not as a fundraiser. The promotional materials are being designed right now and we'll have them ready to go viral by tomorrow morning. Here are things we need your help with NOW: * THINGS TO RAFFLE - things and services * A/V STUFF - we have an awesome DJ lined up but need equipment * CATERING - food/drink * your input and ideas for this party and all logistics * invite all your friends * wear a great costume

If anybody is interested in working on Noisebridge Radio please contact me. The filing dates are 2 months away which is not as long as you think. Some of the basics are that the frequency used can't interfere with any existing station, max. power is 1000 watts, and preference is given to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a week. The usual FCC regulations apply, no swearing, nothing that promotes any illegal activity, etc. There are no restrictions about remote access so people could transmit via network access from somewhere else. At that power level we should be able to cover the Mission and perhaps leak out to the Downtown/Tenderloin area. The transmitters run in the $2500 - $3500 range and you can't build your own. It must be a "type accepted" transmitter. Lower power transmitters cost less. Everything else we can build ourselves. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are NOT entitled to your own facts.

The email that started the Noisebridge broadcast radio project. Norman Bradley: - Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is now tossed.

by giovanni_re

https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-August/03893… Read these important links below: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 ----- Original message ----- From: Norman Bradley <pryankster(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is not tossed. Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:22:40 -0700 A while back people were talking about getting a part of the Radio Spectrum for Noisebridge. Well here it is. I can work out the technical parts but somebody else needs to take care of the filings. The window of opportunity is October 15-29, 2013 and for the first time urban stations will be allowed. The license holder must have been in the community for at least 2 years. The range is about 10 miles although given our location at the bottom of a valley I wouldn't bet on it. With this power it is line-of-sight. We should be able to hit Dolores Park and most of the Market Street area from the Civic Center North. Bayview and Hunter's Point? Forget it there is a hill in the way. These are just guesses. We need to prove that we won't interfere with existing stations. That starts with just walking around the Mission and listening to your FM Radio. The more technical details I will work out with some modeling software later. The FCC is giving extra points to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a day and is "publicly accessible". A good time to reach out to our neighbors. I am assuming that some of that can be pre-recorded or streamed in from the net. If it is coming over the net we will need to be very careful about who has access. There's that whole no profanity rule. So let us get K - - - on the air. KNOS, NBRG, KNOI are all taken and it must start with a K, West of the Mississippi and all. So here are some of the relevant web sites: The original article from John Hightower: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 -- You are entitled to your own opinion.

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC

by giovanni_re

My message to NB about the FCC LPFM project. ----- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: "noisebridge-discuss" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:49:08 -0800 http://slingshot.tao.ca/issue.html?0112007 LPFM Alive Despite Legislation By DJ Rubble On November 30, 2012. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced implementation of the bipartisan Local Community Radio Act of 2010. The legislation instructs the FCC to license more small, local Low Power FM (LPFM) stations. These stations broadcast on up to 100-watt transmitters, usually with a 3-4 mile signal range. The legislation replaces a 2000 ruling first recognizing LPFM. The 2000 legislation was hailed a groundbreaking victory for unlicensed radio, which had seized the airwaves and refused to be removed. However, the radio industry through inside deals from powerful lobbying arm the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) with the FCC and Congress quickly maneuvered to strategically undermine the process to eliminate even the smallest level of competition for the profiteers. Over a twelve year period the net result is about 800 small, non-profit corporate LPFM stations nationally. Virtually none have been licensed in major urban areas, including none in the Bay area. The majority are rural stations owned by a well-funded national religious network, most others by schools and emergency responders. The result is a corporate jukebox of songs from the top ten record labels, AP wire service briefs, and government-funded propaganda from NPR. The current LPFM legislation is again hailed as ground breaking by the media and radio activist organizations that worked hard for passage. It should provide a few more good quality, local stations. But will it help or actually hurt LPFM in the context of the overall goals of the original movement, which started out as "pirate radio"? ... _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

Was: [CQ] Invitation: East Bay Amateur Radio Club meeting this Friday at 7:30pm - RADIO SAUSALITO Jack k6jeb at yahoo.com Tue Sep 11 19:52:03 UTC 2012 ------ I'd like to invite you to the East Bay Amateur Radio Club September meeting this Friday, September 14th at 7:30pm. We meet at the El Sobrante Public Library 4191 Appian Way El Sobrante. Since this month's topic isn't specifically about ham radio, why not invite your non-ham friends/family/colleagues? Come join the fun this Friday!!!! This month's presentation: "Radio Sausalito" Jonathan Westerling, founder and president of Radio Sausalito will share with us what happens behind the scenes to keep the Bay Area's smallest radio station on the air 11 years after its first broadcast. We'll learn about the strict technical requirements that limit legal transmission on 180 meters (the am radio band) and the unique technology that that allows listeners to tune in jazz on 1610 AM. Jonathan will also offer up his 20 years of expertise in broadcasting to answer your questions about broadcast radio and its future. Bio: Jonathan Westerling, 36, grew up in the small rural town of Harvard, Massachusetts, a town with literally a single traffic light and more apple orchards than any other town in New England. At the age of 7 he started his first radio station called "WXYZ" using a Mr. Microphone. >From this bucolic upbringing, Jonathan journeyed to Cleveland where he earned a Bachelor’s in Musical Performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Bachelors in Audio Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. After graduating he became president of Tech Efficiency, an on-location computer consulting firm and at the same time served as bassoonist and contrabassoonist for the Canton, Ohio Symphony Orchestra. Jonathan came to Sausalito in 1999 and spent five years with the Branding/Marketing firm Landor Associates rising to the level of Worldwide Technology Coordinator. For the past eight years he has been Manager of Mackenzie & Albritton LLP, a telecommunications law firm in San Francisco. He has served with the Sausalito Arts Commission, the Marin Office of Emergency Services Communications Volunteers and the Sausalito Police Volunteers 73, Jack Burris, K6JEB Program Chair, East Bay Amateur Radio Club -------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

INTRODUCING the Sudoroom Global Hackerspace FM broadcast radio project - to the SR discuss list readers.

by giovanni_re

Hi all - short intro here. Sudoroom has the opportunity to join a great project to get all world haackerspaces FM radio broadcast stations, by hackers, for hackers & everyone. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio Broadcast show topics on: News, education, public affairs, Music & arts. The benefits to Sudoroom are that 1) you increase awareness of SR in the Oakland community by being on the FM broadcast air, 2) you thus might increase membership & participation & fundraising for SR,& 3) you inform, educate, & uplift hackers & everyone, including potential hackers, in the local community. :) -- Norman Bradley & I started this project at Noisebridge https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge -- I'm the person working to alert hackerspaces worldwide to this opportunity. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio The key USA date is the FCC Nov 14 application deadline. -- I announced this global project at the Oct 23 wed SR weekly meeting. In attendance were about 6 SR regulars, & 6 first timers. (I also announced this briefly to the biohackers last Friday, about 12 ppl.) -- Matt Senate is wants to get SR to apply for a license, & to have a broadcast station. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Low_Power_FM_Radio I pulled up & bookmarked about 16 links re this, & Matt put them onto the sr wiki. That page needs cosmetic clean up. If you are interested in helping this project, one easy simple contribution would be to clean that page up cosmetically. Then _read_ through those pages! -- I'll send you more info about this as my very limited time permits. Please read the emails i'll send in a minute, & read the pages they link to, if this radio project sounds interesting to you, & you want to help SR, & hackers in Oakland, & everywhere. :) -- Questions? --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

anonymous threats

by Eddan Katz

A Sudo Board nominee received an anonymous threatening message yesterday. This kind of thing is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It is harassment that is pathetic and cowardly. It is also in clear violation of our safe space policy and subject to the consequences in the relevant parts of the dispute resolution process in our by-laws. There is enough identifying information to figure out where it came from - the phone number was 650-272-1589. If anyone has information on who is associated with that number, please let me know off-list. This kind of behavior is not welcome in any Sudo space, whether physical or virtual. I will also add my intense personal frustration at people like you. Stop giving anonymity a bad name. sent from eddan.com

[Important] Sudo Short on Rent this Month!

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I made a deposit today from the donation bin with $260 dollars, bringing our bank account total to ~$1020. Our invoice from the landlords is $1,661.50 We need to raise ~$650 to pay rent PLUS another $500 to maintain our bank account minimum and not be charged for being below the minimum. *How can we raise up to $1,150 by say, Monday?* Some ideas I'm throwing out there and discussing with folks in the space at the moment: - Ask folks to pay their dues! Encourage your friends. - Throw a fund-raiser this Saturday (take donations, give beverages, performances) - Reach out to different groups that use the space. // Matt

Fwd: Save Airbnb in New York

by Eddan Katz

For those who have not been following the Airbnb legal troubles, this story has been called "Airbnb vs. New York City: The Defining Fight of the Sharing Economy" (http://skift.com/2013/10/13/airbnb-vs-new-york-city-the-defining-fight-of-t…; w/ links). I would rather call this version of peer production - collaborative consumption, but do think that the way this goes will be a key turning point. It's not just the hospitality political lobbies that are the problem, it's also the landlords' lobby. > > > > > Dear Eddan, > > I'm writing to ask you to help save Airbnb in New York. > > As a guest who has stayed with a Host, you know how unique and local an experience that is. And you also know the majority of our hosts are just regular people making ends meet by renting out their own homes. > > Now, that experience is under threat. > > The New York Attorney General has subpoenaed the records of almost all of our New York hosts. We are fighting the subpoena with all we've got, but poorly written laws make for even worse enforcement. Unless you help to stop it once and for all, the laws may never get better and the threat to our New York community will continue. > > A petition to change New York law already has over 88,000 signatures, and an Airbnb host, Mishelle, has pledged to personally deliver it to the New York Senate. Our new goal is 100,000 signatures. We hope as many people as possible will encourage New York to change the law. > > Sign Mishelle's petition to change the NY law and Save Airbnb. > > Thank you for standing with our New York hosts. We can create a new world where people can feel at home, anywhere. Let's create that world together. > > Thank you for signing, > > Douglas Atkin > Global Head of Community > > > > > > > > > > Airbnb Inc. > 888 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103 > > To stop receiving emails from Airbnb, click here >

Fwd: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China.

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Ooo, interesting, no? // Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Michael Buckland" <buckland(a)berkeley.edu> To: <friday(a)ischool.berkeley.edu>, "I School Announcement" <i-announce(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Subject: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China. Date: Wed, Oct 30, 2013 11:17 FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm. http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-ia/f13/schedule.html Open to the public. Everyone interested is welcome! Friday, Nov 1: Elisa OREGLIA: Dissertation Talk: From Farm to Farmville: Circulation, Adoption, and Use of ICT between Urban and Rural China. In the mid-2000s, China began a set of policies to "informatize" the countryside, i.e. to bring Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to rural residents in order to improve their economic conditions. These policies posit the countryside as a world of "less", compared to urban areas, and portray people who are at the margins of China's modernization (migrant workers, rural residents, older people, and farmers) as in need of ICT to access more and better information, and, as a consequence, more and better opportunities. In contrast to this widespread view of marginalized users as passive recipients of technologies, I look at the diffusion and appropriation of ICT such as mobile phones and computers among rural residents and migrant workers in their own terms: not as foils for elite views of why they would/should go online, but rather as people who discover the opportunities offered by ICT that are of interest to them, and try to use these opportunities as best as they can. By retracing the paths through which ICT travel in urban and rural China and the social relations that are maintained, renewed, and reinvented along the way, I show how people at the margins "invent" themselves as users, find a connection between their lives and technology, and participate from afar to China's rapid modernization. A presentation of this work was was named the best graduate student paper on China and inner Asia at the 2013 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies by the AAS' China and Inner Asia Council. Elisa Oreglia is completing her PhD in the School of Information. More at http://ercolino.eu/eo/. FORTHCOMING Friday, Nov 8: Niels W. LUND, Univ. of Tromso, Norway: Which discipline does Document Theory belong to? Wrapping up 25 years of work in progress. In the design of information services (libraries, archives, data sets, websites, etc.), you deal with documents in relation to their material nature (paper, software, hardware etc. etc.), their social status (legal issues with access etc., impact), and their mental/cognitive aspects (How are they been understood?). But in the world of higher education, you still have a relatively sharp division between humanities, social sciences, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), so what can you do when you feel you belong to all three academic worlds? Niels Windfeld Lund will soon retire as Professor, University of Tromso, Norway, where he was the founding director of the program in Documentation Studies. He has twice been a visiting scholar here. More at Bio card. Friday, Nov 15: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity. Clifford LYNCH: The Failure of Stewardship Organizations. (Continued). Friday, Nov 22: Michael BUCKLAND: Support for scholarly editing. Friday, Nov 29: Thanksgiving: No seminar meeting. Friday, Dec 6: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity. Karen SMITH-YOSHIMURA: Registering Researchers in Authority Files. -- Michael Buckland, School of Information, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-4600 (510) 642 3159 buckland(a)ischool.berkeley.edu http://www.berkeley.edu/~buckland Co-Director, Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative
