A personal note

by johanna faust

I found myself responding as i did, below, to news of a sudo table at the east bay anarchist bookfair, and realized how ... happy i am to be alive .... grateful i am for the same, and for the people i know. like you, if indeed i know you, o person reading this. possible trigger of this state of mind: *i danced on monday like ... like i could just.... dance. * * * *like i used to, a few years ago, when i didn't know that a daily fight just to walk had an appointment with my internet-surfing, philosophizing, needing-to-write-more self.* * * *i danced! i danced! i got drunk and forgot i was lame! i ddn't hurt myself! I danced! * * * *:::::::dances around a little in virtual demonstration:::::::* * * *wooooooohooooooooooooooo!* * * ok. so i thought would say something. perhaps i can make it tonight.... SHORT VERSION: inspiration; thx. anticipate updates eagerly. LONG VERSION, warning, may not make attempt to be brief: to be regarded as that which serves to remind any but the most negligent in attantion to spiritual duty of the glory immanent in and attendant upon the quotidian externality: intersections juxtapose, for me, details such as audio accompaniment and my awesome cup of coffee with the news that HTML5 browsers are soon to compile draconian DRM in at the source and this. the fact that i managed an APA for a few years is evidence (to my allzu-menschliches yet voluble self, that is) that this email is aware, has intentions, and, of course, specifies, would benefit from, indeed needs *me* somehow. sketching beautiful futures branching off. not that i know what that exactly is... but i felt that the word 'awesome' furnished far too little detail. good afternoon! it's good to be alive. -- *Be seeing you.*

ISOC Montevideo Statement

by Eddan Katz

Some major Internet Governance organizations earlier this week put out a statement on future Internet cooperation that I think Sudo folk might be interested in. http://www.internetsociety.org/news/montevideo-statement-future-internet-co… (signatories & other info at link above) > Uruguay, 7 October 2013 > The leaders of organizations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure globally have met in Montevideo, Uruguay, to consider current issues affecting the future of the Internet. > > The Internet and World Wide Web have brought major benefits in social and economic development worldwide. Both have been built and governed in the public interest through unique mechanisms for global multistakeholder Internet cooperation, which have been intrinsic to their success. The leaders discussed the clear need to continually strengthen and evolve these mechanisms, in truly substantial ways, to be able to address emerging issues faced by stakeholders in the Internet. > > In this sense: > > They reinforced the importance of globally coherent Internet operations, and warned against Internet fragmentation at a national level. They expressed strong concern over the undermining of the trust and confidence of Internet users globally due to recent revelations of pervasive monitoring and surveillance. > They identified the need for ongoing effort to address Internet Governance challenges, and agreed to catalyze community-wide efforts towards the evolution of global multistakeholder Internet cooperation. > They called for accelerating the globalization of ICANN and IANA functions, towards an environment in which all stakeholders, including all governments, participate on an equal footing. > They also called for the transition to IPv6 to remain a top priority globally. In particular Internet content providers must serve content with both IPv4 and IPv6 services, in order to be fully reachable on the global Internet.

SASB Technology & Communications sustainability reporting

by Eddan Katz

Hi Sudo folk. The public comment period just opened for the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) - which will determine the reporting (minimum) guidelines for the Info Tech space. These new sets of industry-specific standards SASB has started publishing will likely become the accounting norms for sustainability. If anyone is interested in working with me on putting together comments by Jan. 2, 2014 - I could probably use the help. Thanks. sent from eddan.com > From: "Comments @ SASB" <comments(a)sasb.org> > Subject: Public Comment for Technology & Communications > Date: October 8, 2013 12:38:15 PM PDT > > 90-Day Period of Public Comment Now Open > Technology & Communications > SASB Exposure Draft Sustainability Accounting Standards > > Comment Deadline: January 2, 2014 > > The proposed sustainability accounting standards for industries in the Technology & Communications sector are now available for public review. SASB welcomes comments from the public. > > Those providing comments should consider that the proposed disclosure standards are intended to be integrated in financial filings of publicly-traded companies, such as the Form 10-K.

BACE timebank meeting, and... we're looking for tech help!

by amber yada

Hey Sudo people! Bay Area Community Exchange (aka "the timebank") is planning to have our monthly general meeting this Wednesday night 8:00 to 9:30 PM. We've had meetings at Sudo before, but I am not sure how to add it to the Sudo Room calendar. Can someone point out to me how to do that? It's usually pretty small, maybe 10 people or so, so it shouldn't clash with your guys' weekly meeting. Also... We're in the middle of overhauling our website and need to build up our tech team to get it done. If anyone is interested, or know someone who might be, please pass this along (see below). Committed volunteers may receive a small cash stipend, plus timebank hours. Email Carl at bacetechteam(a)gmail.com. For more info on BACE check out bace.org. Much appreciation! Descriptions of positions needed: *Tech Team Leader for BACE - Oakland/San Francisco, 10 hrs/month*.<http://timebank.sfbace.org/reqs/2751> Must have good communication skills and some knowledge working with Ruby on Rails and using Github. Other tech experience a plus. *Ruby on Rails developer for BACE website - San Francisco/Oakland, 5-10 hrs/month* <http://timebank.sfbace.org/reqs/2752> Must have capable Ruby skills or be able to pick it up quickly. Javascript and HTML/CSS a plus. *Front-end Designer for the BACE website, 5-10 hour a month, Oakland/San Francisco* <http://timebank.sfbace.org/reqs/2753> Must know HTML/CSS and have a good eye on design. Portfolio of previous design work a plus.

Incorporation

by Yardena Cohen

This was meant to get sent out after Wednesday's meeting. Sorry it took so long. In short, we are coming close to filing Sudoroom as a California corporation. We want to do this as consensually and horizontally as possible, but also soon. As in, the next few weeks. Let this e-mail thread be your official opportunity to lobby objections, concerns and desires. Here is some background for clarity, and some homework. PROFIT vs NON-PROFIT: this is the distinction that gets talked about most often, but actually seems to be the most remote/non-issue question right now. 501 (c3, c5, c*) is a chapter of the Federal IRC, meaning it ONLY relates to Federal income taxes. You ask the IRS to recognize you, and they take a few years to start letting you keep your money. But we're NOT AT THIS STAGE YET because legally we DON'T even EXIST YET. INCORPORATION: this is how you exist. It is not a federal process - you ask your U.S. State to recognize you. Each state does it a little differently. Generally the old traditional type of corporation is a C-Corp, and newer types are LLC and B-Corp. This is something we all need to learn more about! We need to decide the pros and cons of each type. That is our homework assignment #1. WRITING OUR ARTICLES: when we file papers we will have to submit Articles/Bylaws. This will be a legal document describing who we are and what the terms and rules of our incorporation are. It is OPEN-ENDED meaning very hackable but also intimidating. It's been proposed that we use Noisebridge's articles as a starting point and edit them to our liking to make them most Sudo-appropriate. It's on our wiki now: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Bylaws_in_progress Reading, understanding, and hacking at this document is homework assignment #2! MEMBERSHIP: observant readers will note incorporation implies there are "owners." We have to figure out once and for all how to decide membership. This is it, folks. Time for us all to step up and ask "who the fuck are we?" So, in summary, the next steps are: 1) Decide on LLC vs C vs B Corp 2) Write articles/bylaws to file with 3) who the fuck are we?

Fwd: government shut down & open web

by Eddan Katz

sent from eddan.com Begin forwarded message: > From: Peter Harter <farrington(a)gmail.com> > Date: October 4, 2013, 9:39:32 AM PDT > To: "netpolicy(a)mozilla.org" <Netpolicy(a)mozilla.org> > Subject: government shut down & open web > > As you may already know many US government websites have shuttered, so to speak, as a result of the budget shut down. Reminds me of how Internet freedom issue campaigns have rallied attention by altering or closing websites. > > Seems to me that this moment is a possible opportunity for Mozilla to educate the public about the importance of the open Web and how it is all around us every day. > > During the previous shut down in the mid 90s people became fed up with a lack of access to government services such as visas for overseas travel. I don't know if it was a simple pressure point of very wealthy and well connected people that got fed up with Newt Gingrich and wanted to have their vacations to go forward. But that is one of the anecdotes one heard at the time. > > Do people that care about the open Web care at all about a lack of access to government websites? > > For example, people do care about a lack of access to national parks and how that disrupts their vacations, ruins the income to businesses dependent on those parks and pushes those workers into poverty and onto government assistance. > > Is there an example that we can think of to make a similar cascading deprivation narrative connecting the shut down of government websites to a broader impact that burdens us all? > > This I think would help underscore the point that Harvey made to me a year ago or so -- that the open Web needs to be a regular part of a kitchen table conversation, akin to what it took or many to move clean air out of the environmentalist extremes and into the very mainstream. > > I can't say that the shut down of the US government is that tipping point for the open Web. > > But since we've all seen the shuttering of websites as a timeworn tactic for two decades now, I thought I should raise it with you all here for contemplation and for discussion perhaps during the Mozilla Summit. > > Peter > _______________________________________________ > Netpolicy mailing list > Netpolicy(a)mozilla.org > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/netpolicy

2141 Broadway Co-Op?

by Andrew

I haven't been around all that much, but am I correct to assume that the current situation is that: 1. Sudo Room's current lease ends Jan 1st 2. George is willing to sell off part of 2141 to a group of investors? If this is so. Let's talk 2141 Co-Op. *Is there anyone on this list who would be at all interested in owning part of a building in the middle of Downtown Oakland*?? Sudo Room or not, this is a great opportunity for a collective to turn some extremely prime real estate in to a commercial Co-Op. Just wanted to bring attention to this. Thoughts? -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

Network of Trust

by Eddan Katz

Hi Sudo folk. I wanted to both advertise and solicit help with a project I've been working on called Network of Trust (http://networkoftrust.net/). The idea is that the best way to choose who to hire for different services is based on recommendations and advice from your friends and family. Speaking of which, this is a project I've been working on with my dad. Who has been known to lurk on this list. Since I've never had the opportunity to introduce my dad, I'm going to try and use as much Internet jargon as I can for him to look up. Please bear with me. My father, Michael, is a true geek at heart. He went to the Technion Institute in Haifa, Israel to study engineering "back in the olden days" as his grand-daughter likes to say. He later got his business degree at NYU and worked at a company called Celesco, which made transducers, for most of his career. He retired sometime about last year - and Network of Trust is one of things he spends his time on. He's kind of like Robert de Niro from Meet the Parents. So I think what we need the most help with is some eyeballs on how the back-end is put together, since the guy who did it is working on other things now. Also, as always, need people to sign up and to use it. Comments and suggestions would be very much appreciated. OK, dad, don't be shy. These are nice people. Mostly. -Eddan

Young people released from the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center (ACJJC) and from schools in the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) will now have the unique opportunity to receive in-depth mindfulness training, tutoring in basic mentoring skills, and education in the mental and behavioral health fields, broadly defined. The program’s inspiration is drawn from a young man who recently contacted MBA once released from the ACJJC, looking to deepen his practice and skills learned while incarcerated. Executive Director Sam Himelstein donated $400 to underwrite this first internship. Will you underwrite the next one? Our interns will receive a $400 stipend for approximately 50 hours of internship over the course of a semester. The East Bay Asian Youth Center (EBAYC), MBA’s partner at Dewey Academy (one of our OUSD sites), has generously awarded funding for 3 additional MBA interns from Dewey Academy.

Flux capacitor

by Eddan Katz

I was wondering if any Sudo-imagineers knew anything about Flux Capacitors (http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Flux_capacitor). I want to see if I can go back in time and change the wording of a recent email I wrote and have been told that a flux capacitor would be necessary to accomplish this.

Handheld 3D printing extruder

by Hol Gaskill

I'm going to try my hand at making one of these. ABS filament arrives next week to begin torturing me for the 1.5 month until the hot end itself arrives. Thinking wooden handle with a 3D printed trigger mounted to a spring-loaded potentiometer. Tricky part will be setting up the controller to compensate for different feed rates. the fun part will be holding contests to see who can draw the best cylinder. anyone interested in this or have tips from 3D printer builds? cheers, hol

They accepted. *It is 10 minutes walk from McArthur BART **Is that too far?

Re: [sudo-discuss] It's Unconscionable

by Eddan Katz

I went to an Oakland mayoral candidate event for Bryan Parker on Tuesday. There was a short opportunity during the event to mention people's individual interest in the race and I gave a tweet-length description of Sudo Room. In the after-mingling part, a few people (none of whom I knew before) wanted to learn more. Actually - there was one person there I've seen before - the bearded guy who runs a video editing shop down on the Mezzanine level of our building in the kitchen/conference room (technically 2143 Broadway, I believe) - he was in fact doing some video for the event. He's cool. All but one of the comments and reactions were very positive, including from Phil Tagami, an apparently big-wig developer in Oakland. He wants to come check out Sudo Room sometime and even mentioned he'd had an interview with someone that hung around Sudo Room and had heard interesting things about it. But I digress. The one negative comment came when someone asked me if I knew anything about the lock-picking class that was held at a hackerspace in Oakland some time back. After explaining a bit about Workshop Weekend and that the event took place at Sudo Room, he asked "What the %^&$^ #$%^ #$%^ were you thinking?" It made me realize that we should probably try to tell our side of the story, which we hadn't really publicly. Below are excerpts from the drafts of public statements at the time from the sudo-discuss archives. Workshop Weekend published their statement on their website at the time, but Sudo Room never collectively went through agreeing on and fine-tuning the substance of such a public statement. Given that Workshop Weekend (http://workshopweekend.net/) is taking place next weekend, I thought it might make sense to re-visit our drafts and try to piece something together. The fact that the Police Chief Jordan has since gone into early retirement (though retained his high-tier benefits) during a week when Oakland had 3 different police chiefs and got razor-thin close to federal receivership - would likely work in our favor. > From: "J.D. Zamfirescu" <zamfire(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] It's Unconscionable > Date: March 1, 2013 11:14:30 AM PST > To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> > > For those interested, Workshop Weekend (that is, my brother and I) prepared the following statement on the lockpicking issue. We fully support Sudo Room having its own statement on the issue too. > > =========== > Over the past two days, Workshop Weekend has received complaints from concerned citizens of Oakland about the upcoming "Introduction to Lockpicking" workshop being offered as part of Workshop Weekend on March 2, 2013. The workshop will run as scheduled, but in response to community concerns, lock-picking tools will no longer be offered for sale at the event. > > As Oakland residents ourselves, we have felt Oakland's crime problem, and we appreciate the community's concerns that offering a lock-picking workshop appears to encourage crime and sends the wrong message. We recognize now that it was insensitive to have the workshop listed and broadcast in the way that it was, and we regret doing so. > > To provide some background, Workshop Weekend invited The Open Organization of Lockpickers (TOOOL) to run a workshop about lock-picking and lock mechanisms this weekend. > > Exploring lock-picking and understanding the limitations of locks is valuable for everyone who relies on locks for physical security, and in kids it can spark an interest in mechanical engineering and complex systems. > > We would also like to share the following note from TOOOL, the group offering the session: "We in TOOOL are of course sensitive to the concern that occasionally surrounds our lock-themed workshops. We can only hope that the atmosphere of openness, information sharing, and strong ethical standards which is a part of all TOOOL meetings can assuage some concerns. Knowing about the weaknesses in certain locks protects the public; it does not aid criminals. Please visit our website -- toool.us -- for more information." > > We hope this note makes things clear to everyone; our goal is provide an educational and inclusive experience for everyone in Oakland who would like to be involved with our events. > > Workshop Weekend is a two-day celebration of hands-on learning taking place in the heart of downtown Oakland, bringing together kids and adults from Oakland as well as the rest of the Bay Area. The event encourages exploration of new interests and passions by offering over 40 workshops in subjects not typically taught in schools, including aeroponics, electronics, and 3D printing.

It is our general belief that public safety is better served when the skills necessary to be hired as a locksmith, for example, are taught in classrooms rather than by picking it up in the actual commission of crimes. > > We share in our city’s mourning of the death of Kiante Campbell at the Art Murmur last month. Collectively and as individuals, we are also aware of and concerned about the alarming levels of crime in our neighborhoods. It is in fact those concerns that have made for the greatest challenges in offering an openly accessible entrance to our building. Being a horizontally-governed organization, the compromised option of only several people having the keys is problematic. We are now experimenting in our own space with ways that can increase security while preserving the privacy of the general public. We intend to share our results publicly on our website and wiki, as with all of our other projects, so that public safety in Oakland can be more effectively enforced. > > We regret that Mayor Quan stepped back from her support of the event, though we appreciate her support for our innovative programs that are bringing about an emergent start-up technology culture in downtown Oakland. We can certainly sympathize with the overwhelming task of responsibly editing a large amount of information such as what is in the Mayors’ newsletter. We intend for this unfortunate series of misunderstandings to be yet another incentive for us to work on some of the projects we’ve already started – those aimed towards more efficiently sorting through large volumes of information to allow for making editorial judgment calls more fairly. > > We would like to take this unsolicited opportunity to make our intentions clear with Police Chief Jordan and Mayor Quan. We have among us people who can contribute a great deal to solving our law enforcement technology problems and addressing the cyber-security concerns of critical infrastructure such as the Port of Oakland. We hope to get a chance to work together with our city’s leaders in bringing cutting-edge capacity building to the people of Oakland with sustainable and equitable economic structures. We are trying to be very conscientious about it – we welcome you to drop by one of our many events or visit our website for information about our initiatives. > > > > On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 12:51 PM, Daniel Finlay <namelessdan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Anca's right, this is a huge opportunity. > > Lower dues, anyone? > > Here's my caricature of opportunism, feel free to tune down the tone to your tact level of preference: > > The admonition of lockpicking classes by the Mayor and Police Chief of Oakland are as unconscionable as the thefts they purport to be in fear of. While the alarmists claim that publicly available lockpicking classes may promote criminal activity, they lose sight that this class is in the context of a larger public enrichment. > > Despite being only a few months old, Sudoroom has already made itself host to a wide variety of educational, cooperative, and even marketable skill-building classes and events for hundreds of local residents. From programming computers and 3-D printing to curing cheese and modifying DNA, Sudo Room is a free, community sponsored place for fostering the collaborative creativity that comes with groups full of intellectual curiosity in a time of as much change and development as this one. > > In a time where people's opportunities might lead them to crime, perhaps we ought to provide better alternatives rather than stupefying the public as a form of self defense. > > Let us address the cause of this sickness rather than try to snuff out its symptoms, and give ourselves access to an unfettered flow of knowledge and opportunity.

was there a post a long time ago about 'hack your period'?

by Sonja Trauss

I just found out that avoiding pregnancy via rhythm method is pretty reliable and not even hard to do considering there are 250 apps to help you do it. HOWEVER, this app is asking me questions I don't know the answers to - how do you tell where your cervix is? is cervical fluid different than the regular goo that comes out of my vagina? how do I tell my temperature? Did the non- annoying period app ever get made? now that I understand what it's for, I am interested in helping on this project. I'm using ovuline mostly. I like the interface, although I am annoyed that ALL PERIOD APPS (except two) assume (1) I am a woman, (2) I am trying to GET pregnant instead of trying to AVOID getting pregnant. Check out "MyGirls," it is a very amazing cultural artifact made by two Russian physics graduate students in washington state. It assumes users are men.

[Important] Lease Status

by Matthew Senate

Just to clarify, Eddan's original email was a little misleading. Sudo Room has an opportunity to renew its lease at the end of December, or to change it, including purchasing a portion of the building as a co-op, potentially using the JOBS act or some such. Eddan will be getting off the lease by his own preference. Terms are not exactly clear, we need to check whether the lease can remain exactly as-is (will confirm with Eddan) or if certain terms need to be changed. There were some heated discussions on- and off-list, I hope everyone gets this message and realizes the situation was ambiguous and is actually copacetic. // Matt

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marc Juul <juul(a)labitat.dk> Date: Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 5:25 PM Subject: [CCL] 1545 Willow st photos and response from Margo Prado To: "counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com" < counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com> I just visited 1545 Willow st with Jenny and Craig. We took photos and talked to the real-estate agent and landlord. There were two spaces of a bit more than 3000 sqft but only one was wheelchair accessible. The other could be made wheelchair accessible, but it's on the second floor and the elevator has been taken out of service and some amount of money would be needed to re-instate it. They showed us two spaces. The ground-floor is wheelchair-accessible ~3200 sqft space. The other space is about sudo room sized (we'll get the exact size soon). The big space has five small offices on one wall with windows to the street. This is the only natural light coming into that space. There is another small office in the corner of the big space with no natural light. One of the small offices has a sink but the big room does not, so we'd have to spend some effort/money to get sinks in the main room, but it's definitely doable. There are shared bathrooms with the other spaces in the building. They looked like they could use some fixing, but at least one sink and toilet was working in both men's and women's bathroom. There was a makeshift shower in the men's bathroom but it was disconnected. The smaller room has natural light and a sink in the room. Here are the photos. Mouse-over the images to see which space they are from. http://imgur.com/a/MDbp4 The big space has a bigger entrance directly to the street that has been sealed off but can be easily re-opened if we want a direct entrance or if we need to bring in big equipment. The spaces both have a working sprinkler system. The ceilings are tall enough in the big space that we could create more space by splitting some of the space vertically in half. They said the deposit for the big space would be somewhere between three months rent and $9000. The landlord is a bit off, but really happy and friendly, and he seems very flexible. The real-estate agent said he would send me more info on the spaces, and I will forward to the group when I get it. My personal feeling is that this is could be a really good space for us. We can start with the small space, but I'm also pretty excited about the bigger space. The only thing I didn't like is the lack of sunlight. We may be able to remedy that somewhat by removing the walls to a couple of the smaller offices. I didn't ask on the list if anyone wanted to come along, because the real-estate agent called me at 2:20 and said he could show it to me at 3:00. I also got a response from Margo Prado. It'd be easier to forward the email to the list, but I don't like forwarding emails to a public mailing list without checking with the author first, but here is a summary. Margot wants to help us! She says she hopes to attend one of our open nights, possibly in September, and that she joined our meetup group. She believes that anything that allows the "Research Service" activity is fine for us. Normally I'd be dubious, since it contradicts my own research, but Margot apparently wrote the new industrial zones in the mid 2000's and created the Research and Development activity. She probably knows what she's talking about :-) She goes on to talk about a bunch of potential spaces, but I'll just forward the whole email to the list if she says it's ok. For now, I have attached the pdfs she sent me with some of the potential spaces. -- Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.

Morning Math Restated

by Thomas Fitzpatrick

If there are no objections, I'm reenstating Morning Math. I think a new name is in order and would like to field a couple - Math Gym, Visceral Mathematics, Romancing Methods... Sessions will start at 7:30 AM. I will be staying and holding up the torch until 11:30. Participants are free to come and go as the please between those times on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday (no pressure to show up on all days, but I will be there) with the possibility of more days. All levels are welcome - there will always be something to do. The vision is that despite skill levels and relative experiences, we can all benefit from contact with each other as Mathematicians. My favorite learning environment is a boxing gym and I think that is where our social norms should be derived from. * Many different styles of boxing and training - trainers are free to take on students, students can go to new trainers, or you can have no trainer and get bits of advice from many people * People arriving and leaving at disparate times as opposed to Karate classes where everyone must arrive at the same time. The flow is mantained regardless. You tell your trainer you are arrived and start your warm-ups. When they are available they will teach you something or give you an exercise you are familiar with - coming around to check on you and correct your form. * All skill levels and levels of fitness - Hanger-ons, the elderly, novices, pros, trainers all derive social satisfaction. Everyone is free to improve at their own pace without being turned away from the sport. Bullying is not tolerated * Everyone is given the opportunity to teach - this advice is trusted based on their reputation - many views abound and the student is free to choose the styles and techniques they want to emulate. * Instruction is given and then the student is left to practice the motions - the memory is important - by they have to get a feel for it on their own. They can be corrected, but the trainer is also free to help other students. * Some routines are done in groups while others are done alone - most can be practiced in both contexts * The right exercises are chosen to get you to the next level. There is no set protocol for what you do each time. You are free to choose what you do next - though others may tell you better. * No one goes in the ring without a trainer watching (the analogy breaks down here) * Sparing is the most valuable experience as it builds your fight intuition. We predict punches - we don't react. It takes half a second for your brain to tell you to move - if you have to wait you will get hit. That is why you will often take it slow or only do defense or offense to trim your concerns. * The focus is learning. Preparing for your match. The primary question I have is how to teach Mathematics the way Music/Sports are? How do you teach intuition and problem solving? How do groups with disparate schedules and skill levels benefit the most from each other? I propose the following norms. (I will pare them down over time): * Agreements on reading materials/problems are between those you agreed to read with - not the entire group * You can come to as many or as few sessions as you please - there will always be something to do. (analogous problems) * Progress and minutes are prominently displayed to bring people up to speed without breaking the flow * Discussion groups form and disperse based on the creative process. * It is better to ask questions than to give others the solution when they are solving a problem. Empathize to give the right hint * It is better to try problems than to merely discuss, pencil must move over paper (or code across screen) - experience is more valuable than lectures. * Pictures are essential tools * Assisted/Group work is valuable for discovering the process, but the intuitive jump or connection is up to the student * Problems can be generalized, specialized or analogous problems chosen to keep everyone in the loop - to give and get insight as student and teacher. * The learning zone is right beyond your current abilities, but not so hard you have nothing to grasp onto. * Talent is overrated <http://www.amazon.com/Talent-Overrated-World-Class-Performers-EverybodyElse…> Here are some books I would personally like to study with anyone - in these time slots or otherwise. Suggestions are welcome :) # Good general Problems Delightful Puzzles <http://gurmeet.net/puzzles/> - Scroll to Bottom for other great lists - These are very accessible The Stanford Mathematics Problem Book <http://www.amazon.com/The-Stanford-Mathematics-Problem-Book/dp/0486469247/r…>- Has a hint key and an answer key! # Problem Solving Techniques How To Solve It <http://www.amazon.com/How-Solve-It-Mathematical-Princeton/dp/069111966X/ref…> Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning <http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Plausible-Reasoning-Patterns-Inference/dp…> # History of Math Mathematics and Its History <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/144196052X/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8…> # Applied Mathematics Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability and Statistics <http://www.amazon.com/Methods-Mathematics-Calculus-Probability-Statistics/d…> Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers <http://www.amazon.com/Numerical-Methods-Scientists-Engineers-Mathematics/dp…> # Discrete Mathematics Concrete Mathematics <http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Mathematics-Foundation-Computer-Science/dp/0…> There is interest in studying Visual Complex Analysis <http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Complex-Analysis-Tristan-Needham/dp/0198534469…>. The Complex-plane is an alternative to x-y coordinates that makes many problems much easier and more intuitive to reason about. It was named Complex to be vindictive by mathematicians who didn't understand its worth. AND IT USES PICTURES

Fwd: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event

by Eddan Katz

Following the Sudo Room norms of transparency - a value I hold in high regard and try to practice to the best of my ability - I am forwarding the invitation I received below from the Bryan Parker 2014 Oakland mayoral race campaign. I have spoken with the campaign previously about the importance of tech policy to the future of economic development in downtown oakland. i have not contributed financially to the campaign - but feel comfortable sharing at this point that I am seriously considering supporting his candidacy. the fact that Bryan Parker made history by being the first candidate to crowdsource his initial fundraising seems like a significant acknowledgement and suggests to me an awareness of the power of peer production. they are interested in holding a roundtable discussion sometime within the next couple months on the subject of innovation and technology. i mentioned sudo room as a potential venue for this event and was planning on trying to move this discussion forward at the event tonight. it is my intention to make the case that oakland's edge could and should be openness and co-operation in the further development. i believe that there is a role municipal government can play in making this happen, in terms of both strategic investments and administrative regulations. > From: "Bryan Parker" <host(a)invite.pingg.com> > Subject: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event > Date: September 25, 2013 5:21:47 PM PDT > To: eddan <eddan(a)eddan.com> > Reply-To: Bryan Parker <usm(a)brightlineconsulting.com> > > > You have been invited by Bryan Parker to First 700 Club Event. > > > > > Dear Friends, > > It is with deep appreciation that I thank you for your generous support of my campaign for Mayor of Oakland 2014.

San Leandro Meet the CIO event report-back

by Eddan Katz

for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up somewhere. Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because of his background in real estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms. > From: "DAcosta" <DAcosta(a)sanleandro.org> > Subject: Summary of this morning's conference call for Meet the CIO event / Sept. 19th > Date: September 12, 2013 4:20:48 PM PDT > To: <mail(a)joelpool.net>, <erin(a)nextspace.us>, <eddan(a)eddan.com>, <eric(a)hackerlab.org> > Cc: <gina(a)hackerlab.org>, <michaelcarilli(a)aol.com> > > Team! > > Thanks again for everyone’s participation this morning. > > 1. Format > a. 5 p.m. – Registration and Networking (please arrive by 5 p.m.!) > b. 5:30 to 6:15 – Panel Presentation, 10 minutes each in the following order: > i. Eric / Hacker Lab > ii. Erin / NextSpace > iii. Joel / The Port Space > iv. Eddan / Sudo Room > > We will provide the project setup for the presentations – all you need to bring is a flash drive. If you’ll need an internet connection, let me know ahead of time. > c. 6:15 to 6:30 – Audience Questions – some flexibility here, questions will probably go longer! > d. 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. – Networking and event end. Chances are that this will probably go on until at least 7:30, but feel free to leave at 7 if you need to. > > > 2. Panel (45 minutes, 10 minutes each for preso, 15-30 minutes for questions) > a. Powerpoint, if desired (bring flash drive) > b. Internet access, if needed > c.

website & email hosting

by Eddan Katz

Dear Sudo folk. For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com. I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email. And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long. -Eddan

Fwd: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!

by Marina Kukso

news from double union, the new feminist hackerspace in sf. yay! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 2:15 PM Subject: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space! To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org> We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next steps for Double Union! Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/ http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/ The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good processes to manage the space, building access, and so on! Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once someone other than me has keys. Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to do that until there is more "there" there to talk about. Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist, Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing! https://www.librarything.com/profile/doubleunion Cheers, Liz YOUR FEMINIST HACKER SECRETARY -- Liz Henry lizhenry(a)gmail.com "Electric ladies will you sleep or will you preach?" -- Janelle Monae "Without models, it's hard to work; without a context, difficult to evaluate; without peers, nearly impossible to speak." -- Joanna Russ _______________________________________________ Doubleunion mailing list Doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org http://lists.doubleunion.org/listinfo.cgi/doubleunion-doubleunion.org
