UC Berkeley Student plan field trip to Sudo Room, ask for hackers to give them 'real' education

by Max Klein

Hell Holy Kopimists and Sudoers, A group of self-organized students from UC Berkeley want to Visit Sudo Room on October 14th 5pm to take theory into praxis. Their student-run class is "Politics of Digital Piracy" . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B… They are asking if someone would like to take point on peer-teaching one of the following topics to the insatiable and impressionable minds of the hackcers-to-be. As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone: > a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain > a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect. > > b.) setting up tor.

So here is a link to the class wiki page (yes, we're still using your implementation of the WMF Education Program). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B… The topics we have covered so far are copyright law, privacy and surveillance, hack culture, and are moving on to peer to peer networks this week. The week of Oct 14 (the proposed evening), we will just be presenting midterm projects, so I think the learning objective of our trip to sudoroom could be related to any of our covered topics so far. As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone: a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect. b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been students that have expressed interest in using Tor. c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things sudoroom does. Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also, bringing a group from the Open Computing Facility as well. -Ang

Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: The Omni

I am hoping we continue to occupy the current location under more favorable terms. The access to not only BART, but city government, assemblies, events, community is appealing.

Im sad i missed the joint meeting with CCL re: moving in - we definitely need more meatspace strategizing on making a 3-way move like that happen - I'm really happy that marina and y'all are checking out the Omni and other potential spaces - I'm going to start looking pretty hard and get BAPSers in on this too - sounds like a guesstimated combo sudo/baps/ccl monthly budget would be ~$4500, does that seem about right? Re: SUDO moving into the Omni, it sounds super cool and personally I have no problem with the location - but I do think if there are ppl living in the space, that might make it challenging - conversely if there are lots of loud shows there, that might make having a class tough? And more or less importantly.. are there windows in the Omni space? It's be great if whatever space SUDO moved to had more natural light..

While the details on what a co-op purchase would look like still have to be hammered out in detail, it was my understanding from George that he was interested in an arrangement that would include selling off equity in that portion. Different organizations would put up money in their collective shares and that wing would be organized as a co-op with the different organizational/individual owners taking part in the decision-making of managing the building.

I was hoping someone could fill me in on what is really meant by deciding we are officially 'terminating the lease' in Dec. ? Does it mean we are definitely out of 2141 come Jan., ie, we definitely dont want to stay at 2141? Has that been decided? Or, would we have the opportunity to negotiate a new/better lease if we did decide to keep on at 2141? Re: a co-op purchase of part of 2141, what are the brass tacks of that exactly? I..e, do we have however many tens of thousands I imagine we would need for most mortgage downpayments? Is there some angel investor here I dunno about? Along the same lines what are our real-world options with respect buying the church, or part of the Omni? Or are we just talking about renting part of the omni? Personally, I'd prefer to move, but move with BAPS, SUDO, and CCL. It kind of seems like maybe we should find a good place to move to, and understand what our combined budget is. if SUDO moves out without BAPS that would suck for BAPS and also mean that SUDO would probably get a smaller space than we would get if we combined forces, synchronized, and all moved somewhere together (or mayber stayed at 2141 together, under more amenable conditions). Staying together being the operative word to me here.. Best.

If Sudo room moves up to the Berkeley Border, it would make sense to join with Ace Monster Toys. Also, in my opinion that is way too far from Bart, and way too far from where I live, so I would probably not ever go there. Sounds like an interesting space though, and that is a better neighborhood than where AMT is now. Maybe they would be interested in this space? Tracy It's 1.4 mi away, which is relatively close, though not a super convenient walking distance. However they are looking for bigger cheaper spaces (minimum 3000 sq ft, and at most $1/sqft), so I'm not sure this would work. Also they have a requirement that anything over 2500sqft MUST have overhead sprinklers. That combined with the noise constraints might be an issue, since AMT has lots of big noisy toys (large CNC router tables, laser cutters, power saws, etc) _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org

Re: [sudo-discuss] [spaghettinight] Buying Greater Galilee Church in West Oakland - Viewing Tuesday 8pm

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Yes, the building itself is certainly not worth a lot/if anything. It was built by one of the founders of that specific church, some 4-7 decades ago. One of the churchgoers' fathers I believe. But hey! with some creativity, skill and hard work anything is possible, and building new dwelling(s) doesn't necessarily have to be a 2 year project. Might even be possible to get for less than 400k. Make a great day, Morten H. D.

Buying Greater Galilee Church in West Oakland - Viewing Tuesday 8pm

by Max Klein

Hello All, ==What?== There is a church that has gone bankrupt, and their property is for sale. 2439 Adeline Street Oakland, CA 94607 The appraisal value is $500k, but it is not on the market yet. (Appraisal pdf attached). So my feeling is that we can make an offer for somewhere around $400k if we organize quickly. There are some pictures in the appraisal PDF. I have set up an appointment to View the church at 8pm on Tuesday 1st October. I'm inviting you to come see if you want. ==Communal Buying== There are several ways to buy the property. I am intrigued by a multi-buyer shared-equity approach. Where everybody that pays not necessarily equal amounts, owns equity in not necessarily equal amounts. There has also been an offer of lender financing if we put $178k down. I am open to creative solutions. ==Potential Uses== Currently it is zoned "CIX" commercial-industrial mix. That means that officially you can only use one-third of the space for living. If we were to get a mortgage we would need a business license. Of course thought once you own it, there isn't zoning police that check what you do with it. So we could make this into housing, hostel, a venue, keep it a church, have a tiny house village on the back bit. Again I am open to creative solutions. ==Get in touch== If you want to come to the viewing, please email or call me (7074787023).

Tomorrow (Saturday) 2 PM: An algorithmic tour of the brain

by Anthony Di Franco

Tomorrow if you join us you might be saying Today I Learned cool things about brain-inspired algorithms, and then had fun with PyBrain<http://pybrain.org/>afterwards. Jointly with Counter Culture labs, this: Study of the brain has inspired algorithms that seek to emulate how it functions for as long as practical computers have existed with which to try these algorithms out. We'll look at some of the most notable of these and find out how our understanding of the brain has given us powerful tools to solve difficult problems. Get a better handle on your noggin and how it might work with an algorithmic tour of the brain. · Cerebellum ― Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller · Cortex ― Perceptrons, Liquid State Networks, Long Short-Term Memory · Hippocampus ― Hopfield network · Thalamus ― Scale-free network Integrated systems ― Miikkulainen's DISCERN & artificial schizophrenia experiments · Tools & future directions Experience as a brain owner is all that is required! We'll start at a conceptual level suitable for the curious layperson and go deeper into the technical details according to your interests. http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/140945552/

sudo room/bach awesome foundation chapter?

by Marina Kukso

hey all, the awesome foundation <http://www.awesomefoundation.org/> appears to have expanded its chapter system beyond "fund awesome things in x city" to include specific topic areas such as open web<http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/openweb>& food <http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/food>. the awesome foundation model involves 10 people commiting $100 a month into a single $1000 grant awarded every month. the ten people then pick the grantee based on criteria they all agree on. awesome foundation is accepting new chapters and from my understanding it's not difficult to get approved. i am wondering if there is enough interest and disposable $$ in our various communities to create a sudo- or bach- or other topic-specific awesome foundation chapter. to gauge the number of people who would be interested in something like this and what kind of topic they'd like to support, please fill out yet another google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19hKmF0LODOcisqAzPPP2tlOprm-jWaisI_3GTZbKS-… the results should be visible to everyone. please feel free to fwd to others (bay area and non-bay-area..who cares - we have the internet!) i'll follow up in a week. - marina

Boorganic Chemistry (2 PM tomorrow) - Learn Awesome Biology!

by Watson, Andre

Hello Sudoers! Tomorrow, Saturday 9/28 at 2 PM! Alexander Honkala and I will be teaching another class. Last time, we covered some basic tenets of molecular biology, and tried to give you all a topical view of systems biology as well as comfort with the idea of coding your biology with some bio-hacking nanoparticles and/or viruses. This time around, we will be covering "boorganic chemistry", as well as the basics of pharmacology. We will delve into methods of creating awesome molecules that mimic your biology, and how to use those molecules to build larger assemblies of molecules that can do stuff. Time constraints in mind, we will move at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. We want you to taste how your body interacts with things, and how it makes things to interact with itself. Hope to see many of you there! -AW ---------------- Andre Watson Chief Science Officer Ligandal Technology (978) 496-4635 Sent from my iPhone

Fwd: Proposal to mitigate issues with building

by Tony Barreca

I had intended to "Reply all," but mistakenly replied only to Matt. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tony Barreca <tony.barreca(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] Proposal to mitigate issues with building To: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> These proposals strike me as practical, feasible, and necessary. Perhaps more importantly, they also seem to embody a very do-ocratic response to the recent issues. They won't make all the issues suddenly disappear, but are a huge step in the right direction.

If you hate this kind of humor you may find yourself eye-rolling a lot. Or you may be wondering why you saw this movie after this explicit warning and be wondering about your masochist tendencies. For everyone else, this is a true delight. Genuinely funny throughout, this end-of-the-world movie is self-depreciating and should have you laughing throughout. *Fri: 8:30 PM* *Sat: 9:45 PM* *Tue: 9:15 PM Thur: 9:00 PM***** **** DECEPTIVE PRACTICELet's face it. Everyone loves magic. You seriously have to be dead inside not to feel a tinge of joy when a magician performs a seemingly impossible act. My thoughts always quickly switch to the magician and who they are. How many times have they practiced that trick to make it flawless. Deceptive Practices traces Ricky Jay (a world-renowned magician) from his apprenticeship at age 4 through his life learning magic. Absolutely fascinating. *Sat: 2:20** Sun: 5:15 Tue: 7:00<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71…> Thu: 9:30***** **** THE SPECTACULAR NOWThis sounds like a drunk phrase you might use to describe yourself at a high school re-union, and this movie is not short on high school drinking. This is the tale of a high school senior and effortless charmer, and of how he unexpectedly falls in love with "the good girl". It is engrossing and believable and unsentimental. You will not regret seeing it. From the writers of '500 Days of Summer'. *Fri: 6:00 PM* *Sat: 7:20 PM** Sun: 1:00 Wed: 9:30***** [image: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY]**** MONSTERS UNIVERSITYThe latest hit from the Pixar dream factory. To be perfectly honest, their previous efforts of Cars 2 and Brave made it seem less of a dream factory and more of a gentle slumber factory. But thankfully, Monsters U is a welcome return for the local studio, with oodles of charm, wit and humor, making other animated kids movies positively boring by comparison. *Fri: 5:30 PM** Sat: 12:40 & 4:45 PM Sun: 12:30 PM Tue: 6:30 PM Wed: 7:00 PM Thur: 6:30 PM***** [image: 20 FEET FROM STARDOM]**** 20 FEET FROM STARDOMFinally a documentary that lets you crawl beneath the under belly of the music business. Award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Many of the songs you love would not have existed without the talent and exploitation of some amazing singers. Really entertaining. *Sun: 7:20 PM** Wed: 6:30 PM***** **** THE WAY WAY BACKEveryone remembers what it was like to be 14. Working in a water park for the summer. With Sam Rockwell. Hating your mom's boyfriend. If not, you get to experience it in the Way Way Back. While this 14 year old is quite angsty, this movie perfectly captures the sullen moods of teenagers with a nuanced, funny script and wonderful performances all around. *Fri: 8:00 PM** Sat: 5:15, 8:00 PM Sun: 3:30 PM Mon: 4:30 PM Tue: 9:00 PM Wed: 8:45 PM Thur: 7:00 PM***** ** ** PICKS OF THE WEEK **** **** POOR KIDSThe Appreciating Diversity Film Series is back with another free showing, this time of Poor Kids. We think we live in the land of the American Dream yet income disparity continues to grow. We think that it’s the land of opportunity for everyone, but is that really the case. Come out to watch the movie and participate in a community discussion. *Sat: 3:00***** **** SHARKNADOSo bad it’s terrible? Or so bad that it’s awesome? You be the judge as this cable sensation hits the big screen and flying sharks hit the shores or California. After all, the only thing worse than a tornado is a Sharknado. And we’ve got one on Saturday night. *Sat: 10:30*<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71f…> **** **** FOR Y'UR HEIGHT ONLYI grew up with 007 and his womanizing ways, but he is no match for the special agent half his size. While there may be some doubt about Sharknado and its badness to goodness quotient, For Y’ur Height Only stands the test of time. It’s bad and it’s definitely good and it’s a cult classic. You miss it and y’ur out of luck. *Sun: 6:00*<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71…> **** **** *BREAKING BAD FINALE* It’s the night you’ve all been waiting for. The most grande finale of a strangely beloved TV series. And we’ve got it not only on the Mezzanine but also in the lobby. Everyone is coming out for this one final episode so come early to reserve a seat, and buy lots of food and drink so that we can keep the TV rolling with the Walking Dead and others. Free! *Sun: 9:00***** **** PARTY AT THE PARKWAY (X2) I needed a graphic for Party at the Parkway so I googled “Party at the Parkway” and this is what I got, our new poster child for fun on a Sunday night. She’s having a great time and she’s alluring and wants you to come crash the party. Only we’ve got two of them on Sunday. A student group watching The Big Sleep<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71f…>and a 3 year wedding anniversary watching Slither<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71…>. Your only choice is which party to crash. Cake included. *Sun: 8:30<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71…>& 9:30<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71f…> ***** **** NERD NITE EAST BAY #12 The Nerds are back and perhaps better than ever. They’ll be rocking the power point, along with some square music, and will be drinking beers and trying to be the cool kids that they never were in high school. This month it’s about planets, private investigators, and honeybees. So come on out and learn something for a change. *Mon: 8:00<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71f…> * (Doors at 7:00)**** ** ** *NEW PARKWAY NEWS* *Karma Cinema Recap* We're still crunching the numbers but it looks like, due to your generosity, we'll be donating roughly $15,000 to the following four local nonprofits*: *College Track, Hopalong Animal Rescue, the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and the Alameda County Community Food Bank. In the month of August, patrons at the theater paid what they wanted for their movie tickets with 30% going to local nonprofits. And we're continuing this giving every Wednesday night at the New Parkway. So come on out on a Wednesday night, pay what you want for your movie ticket, and have a portion benefit a great local cause. This month, the beneficiary is Creative Growth<http://thenewparkway.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=95850cf0776f1a99b71…> .**** ** ** AT THE CAFEYou don’t have to see a movie to enjoy The New Parkway’s cafe.

If anyone has some thoughts/ideas about the Oakland Tool Lending Library, especially in regards to the possibilities for an attached community center/maker space - let me know. sent from eddan.com > From: "jon eldan" <eldanj(a)yahoo.com> > Date: September 26, 2013, 9:33:12 AM PDT > To: Eddan Katz <eddan(a)eddan.com> > Subject: Planning for the Future of the Oakland Tool Lending Library > Reply-To: jon eldan <eldanj(a)yahoo.com> > > Eddan, > > As I mentioned on our call yesterday, the library administrator and the office of At Large City Council Member Rebecca Kaplan have agreed to work with the Friends of the Tool Lending Library toward making a budget request from the City Council in January for a one-time expenditure to fund the expansion, or expansion and relocation, of the Tool Lending Library (TLL), in order to resolve the long-standing space, access and capacity issues with the TLL. > > To do that, we will need a concrete proposal (with budget numbers) that (1) addresses the current and future needs of the TLL (and possibly a community classroom/work space), and (2) identifies a specific City building (assuming a move) and the work necessary to make it ready to house the TLL. > > I along with some other members of the Friends of the Tool Lending Library are taking the lead on drafting a report that identifies the TLL's current and future needs and priorities, gathers community input, and makes a strong case for why we need to increase access and capacity. > > The library administration will work with the City's Real Estate Department to identify a space based on the criteria we have provided previously (1200-1500 square feet at ground level for easy access, with parking and reasonably close to a freeway and transit lines), and determine the cost of readying that space. > > One of the ways we could increase the value of this resource without necessarily increasing initial or ongoing costs to the City would be to relocate to a space large enough to accommodate an expanded TLL (1200-1500 square feet), and also a complimentary space that could house a community classroom and/or a community work space/maker space. My thinking is that the latter operation might be run by a non-profit organization, rather than the City (which presumably does not have the resources to take on and manage a work space). > > I note that I have discussed this last idea - a work space/maker space - in a City-owned building - only casually with city officials and the library administration. While it always elicits a positive reaction, we have not sought nor received any official approval or interest. ...

Proposal to mitigate issues with building

by Matthew Senate

Proposal #1 - access/security: New security policy: The last person to leave SUDO/BAPS area, or the last person in the area, will: - Check all 2nd floor bathrooms, hallways and stairs. (The person bottomlining any BAPS class that gets out in the evenings, should always do this before leaving, even if there are still people at SUDO.) - Make sure the rear stairwell door is deadbolted. - Ask anyone you don't personally recognize who they are and what they are up to. This is a great way to maintain a welcoming space. - If you are bottomlining an event, make sure you are the last one of those attending to leave, or an appropriate SUDO/BAPS member is there. New / fix security infrastructure: - Expand intercom/door-buzz system for the 2 other tenants that rely on 22nd st, as we have done at SUDO. - Fix the keypad system: fabricate a chassis for the unit, secure it and all cabling up off the ground to the wall, and patch whatever software may be malfunctioning on the unit. (Who set this up?) - Make 22nd St entrance cam feed accessible to the other 2 building tenants. - Top-of-stairs door adjacent to the bathrooms: Modify/replace door handle lockset to one which always locks - ie, is always locked from the outside, but always openable from the inside, and cannot be left unlocked unless it is propped open. In addition, install a door-closer at the top of the door. - Install a Public School phone or second line to sudo phone: 510-858-7145 Note with the above changes, SUDO/BAPS folks will always use the elevator. Everyone else, such as the other tenants on the 2nd floor that use the 22nd st entrance, will buzz people in via the intercom, then walk to the top-of-the-stairs door near the bathrooms, and let people in. And the 22nd St door will remain locked most all of the time. Proposal #2 - Cleanliness in shared areas. - Before any big events at SUDO/BAPS, whoever is bottomlining the event should stock the bathrooms with extra TP. I am going to ask Laurie to pay for the TP or include it in our utilities etc., and that it be stored in a space we can get to. - After any big events, the persons bottomlining it check the bathrooms before leaving - empty the trash, take the trash bag and the key to the trashroom/roll-up door in the alley, empty it, and put in a fresh bag. There are two keys for the trash room, one in SUDO room and one in BAPS (both hanging on a hook on the wall.) Trash bags are found under the sink in the common area, as well as in SUDO room. Note there are also small bags for the compost containers. - replace any missing / run-out TP

Why It's Hard to Make an Ethically Sourced Smartphone - Businessweek

by Romy＠snowyla.com

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-20/why-its-hard-to-make-an-eth… Why It's Hard to Make an Ethically Sourced Smartphone A Dutch startup called Fairphone has just unveiled what is being heralded as “the world’s first ethically-sourced smartphone.” That’s supposed to mean the company’s supply chains won’t end up using, say, criminal gangs in poor countries or employers of improper child labor. But the handset is nowhere close to 100 percent ethically sourced. “That would be nearly impossible,” says Bibi Bleekemolen, a researcher for the company. Why so hard? Much of the problem has to do with sometimes hard-to-get, and hard-to-trace, minerals. “There are at least 30 minerals that go into the production chain—think copper, cobalt, tin, tungsten, tantalum—and the supply chain for electronics is very complex,” Bleekemolen explains. “There are hundreds of components attached to the printed circuit board and all of the individual components have their own suppliers and sub-suppliers.” What’s more, minerals found in smartphones often come from conflict zones, most notably the Democratic Republic of Congo, where many mines are controlled by warlords and armed groups that use the profits to bankroll the country’s brutal, ongoing battles. “Congo is one of the poorest countries, but it is rich in terms of minerals,” Bleekemollen says, noting that it holds about 40 percent of the world’s tin, among many other resources. As part of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission last year ruled that U.S. companies must begin reporting the origins of their minerals, as well as the refineries and smelters used to process them, by May 2014. Some electronics giants, including Intel (INTC), Motorola, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and Philips (PHIA), have reportedly begun researching their supply chains and taking steps to avoid conflict minerals. Fairphone, founded by designer Bas van Abel in 2010, is seeking incremental gains. So far the startup has managed to ethically source only tin and tantalum by partnering with NGOs that track supply chains. As for the other 28 minerals, Bleekemollen says, “We don’t have a clue where they come from.” She also notes that the tin and tantalum are only conflict-free, meaning rebel groups don’t have access to profits, but they aren’t necessarily produced with fair labor practices in mind. The goal is to improve sourcing with each new iteration of Fairphone. Funded almost entirely through crowdsourcing, Fairphone has already received 15,000 orders for its phone, which retails for $440 and will become available in December. The handset looks similar to a Samsung (005930) Galaxy or Apple (AAPL), is unlocked, works with all mobile carriers, and runs on a custom version of Google (GOOG)‘s Android operating system. To improve each phone’s lifespan and discourage waste, Fairphones are built to be opened up and will come with instruction manuals so users can perform repairs on their own. They have two sim card slots so people can merge their personal and business lines. The phones are produced in a factory in China where Bleekemollen says the startup has set up a fund to ensure fair living wages and good working conditions. It’s a small operation and an admittedly risky venture. “If the factory which makes the devices is engulfed by an earthquake, I am going to have to refund them one by one,” Fairfound founder van Abel told the AFP. “When I think about it I can’t even sleep or eat.” Still, the company is already in talks with mobile carriers such as Vodafone (VOD) and the Netherland’s VPN, which ordered 1,000 Fairphones. The hope, Bleekemollen says, is to change the industry from within and make supply chains more transparent, so other companies can more easily identify and use ethically-sourced minerals.. “As a social enterprise we can aim for impact maximization rather than profit maximization. That’s a big difference in the business model we have.” Still, to make a phone that is 100 percent ethically sourced, Bleekemollen says Fairphone will need many more reliable partnerships: “We’re 15 people in Amsterdam, what do we know?” Sent from my iPad

Landlord tried to kick out sudo-kids

by Yardena Cohen

Sudo-kids was off to a quiet start with some piano lessons and food preparation when our landlord came in yelling "everybody out! all kids out! no kids! everybody under 18 leave the building!" He claims that 2 weeks ago, Laurie sent all tenants an email to the effect of children being generally unwelcome. We talked him into backing down for tonight, but not before the kids were exposed to a lot of abusive behavior and language, sadly. Some reasons he cited were: * Lack of insurance * We don't pay for the common space, or not enough * A recent sudo-kids event where a gross mess was left in the bathroom. * A (perhaps related) event where kids were smashing something with a ball (?) He also provided a new and different interpretation of his birthday proceedings, namely that furniture and things "temporarily" removed would perhaps not return afterwards. Interactions with him are always difficult. As usual, his concerns are real, but his way of communicating them absolutely unacceptable. His willingness to take a room full of children of all ages down this well-worn path of abusive tirade leaves me especially demoralized.

URGENT: all hands on deck for biosafety

by Matthew Harbowy

All: The Metabolex auction pickup closes today, and there are at least *4 biosafety cabinets* in sparkling condition, certified clean and calibrated with paperwork, that have not been picked up, possibly abandoned. I am attempting to negotiate with BioSurplus to see if we could buy one of them outright for cash, but it would also likely need to be picked up TODAY. I think my negotiations might have a bit more oomph if I could get a bunch of people and a truck out to Metabolex at 3:45 today- that's in less than 2 hours. I'm going to be there in the parking lot- anyone who can back be or help me out with this, please just show up. If you need a ride from Union City BART around 3:30, email me directly or call me and I can pick up one, maybe two people from BART. If you have tools, bring em. The meeting place is parking lot of Metabolex (back of building, loading dock) 3878 Bay Center Place Hayward, CA 94545 Thanks in advance! And if anyone needs something off my equipment list, I'd be happy to give you an open house tour after. -matt

Fwd: Request for November 3rd, and info on a janitorial assistant

by Matthew Senate

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> Date: Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 8:55 PM Subject: Request for November 3rd, and info on a janitorial assistant To: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> Cc: eddan(a)eddan.com, mattsenate(a)gmail.com, poems(a)zachhouston.com, exchequer(a)sudoroom.org, David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com>, wenzel505(a)gmail.com Hi All- First, I would like to request use of the kitchen area of the big space on Sunday, November 3rd, from 2-5pm (2-3pm=setup, 3-5pm=class on Fermentation, 5-6pm breakdown/cleanup/get out)--note that we do remove any trash that we generate. I want to make sure that there are no conflicts with any other scheduled events and need to respond to the organizer ASAP. Probably 20-30 people, similar to the meetup that we had prior to George's party last week. If I don't hear of any objections/conflicts by Monday evening, I'll go ahead and schedule the event. I'll also send an email to any interested in registering. Heather Haxo Philips is a very well-known local raw chef and yoga instructor. Second, I met a very nice young man from one of our tenants (David Wei, an awesome Qui Gong instructor)....he's about 19-20 and is looking for work. He specializes in Martial Arts, and among other odd jobs is currently doing janitorial for a Meditation Center, where everything is all about cleanliness. He'd work for $10-$12/hour (maybe depending on whether it's taxed or not?) and can also do odd jobs such as moving, some repairs/maintenance, etc. I know you were talking about getting some help and this is really a VERY nice person who is a pleasure to have around. His name is Fenua and you can call or text him at 510-590-7920. Thanks, and enjoy the weekend! Laurie

by Marina Kukso

hi all, in addition to your regularly scheduled hacking, we will have two things going on at sudo: 2PM: Today I Learned: "SQL Injection & Prevention" with the excellent rhodey. from the description on the wik<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#September_21:_SQL_Injection_.26_P…>i: SQL Injection or "SQLi" is a one of the most dangerous, popular and fun :D web application exploits found today on the modern web. In this lesson we will cover the basics of SQL and then dive into some SQLi exploitation and mitigation techniques. A series of mock web applications will be made available for attendants to practice on. After TIL: we'll be informally working on stuff in nodeschool.io, a cool new learning program created by sudoers max ogden and substack, along with many others. max is travelling the world<https://twitter.com/maxogden/status/381143774975385600/photo/1>, but substack will be around (in between world-travelling adventures). yay, learning & hacking ^_^ - marina

Proposal: 5MOF Symposium; Protocols vs. Platforms

by Dan Cote

I am thinking of having a 5MOF event where we all talk about a single topic. This topic is near and dear to many of us. Protocol stacks like email have served us well since the beginning of the internet. Email continues to be the "lowest common denominator." It's the communication tool that everyone disagrees with the least. Protocols allow people, computers, companies, and other entities to communicate in a prescribed manner. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google's many offerings, and many others offer deeply customized computing experiences for specific tasks. A company or group of companies acquire talent and spend time dialing in these tools. Day One: 5MOF at Noisebridge Day Two: Lightning Talks at Hacker Dojo Day Three: Your Bay Area Hackerspace Day Four: Final Showdown venue tba The hackerspace days would have a social atmosphere, like dev house. There would be opportunities for serendipitous encounters. The best speakers will be invited to speak again at the Final Showdown, which is of course, serious business. It is my not-so-secret nefarious goal that people who have been working on platforms can learn from the protocol people and vice versa. If you are interested in organizing this, send a message to 5mof-symposium(a)lists.noisebridge.net, or join the list<https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/5mof-symposium> .

secure/activist hosting?

by David Keenan

Recommendations for a reputable host / colo for the forthcoming Bay Area Public School site reboot? Ideally a host with ethics that align with a place like Riseup, but is on the west coast, preferably the Bay Area.. unless that is some kind of crazy dream? Do we / sudo have the upstream bandwidth to host simple sites (basic WP) from 2141? I can set it all up.. Where does SUDO host our main site, wiki etc?

report from two (2!) women-oriented hacker events tonight

by Marina Kukso

hi all, a bunch of us went to the totally excellent and huge (50+ people) double union <http://doubleunion.org> launch event which had a bunch of really great short talks on all kinds of topics (technical projects, a women's google glass hacking group, history of textiles, singing in navi - which is apparently an inclusive language, experiences from using the internet with a male-gendered handle, comics, and stand-up). it left me personally totally inspired to have open short short talks at sudo (less pressure than 5 minutes of fame) and totally amazed by the density of hacker women in our area. we are not doing a good enough job getting women at sudo room, but we have a great new partner in double union. afterwards a few of us went to a women who code<http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-SF/>open hack night at the new relic office (more on that below). they had pizza (boo) but also salad (yay). there were at least 30 women here, all at various levels of experience. there was a lot of app talk and a lot of interest in working for companies. a number of women shared their experiences of getting work at corporations, getting mentorship in order to move up in corporations, and forcing their organizations to take gender inclusion seriously. while i applaud the accomplishments of all women who find work in an exclusive field and also applaud the formation of alternate professional networks, i am very sad that we have to applaud and cheer whenever a single women gets a leg up, or support, or a job, or successfully leverages another woman in her network to help her find work. it was also interesting to observe in myself the effects of efforts at inclusion - when women would say that their attempts to bring attention to the lack of women at their company were well-received, or when they talked about how a boss was supportive of their professional development, i could see myself giving little ++'s to their organization. sharing with other people the ways that communities demonstrate their commitment to inclusion is a key part of getting more people in the door. this is why i think that it's really important to share what we do at sudo and the ways we pay attention to and act on our mission of inclusion. finally, jordan and i chatted with the women who code people about their organization. it's all volunteer-run, they have no budget. they have meetups three times a week now (algorithms study group<http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-SF/events/132650642/>!). they meet at different companies who give them space for free and agree to cater (apparently organizing this is not as much work as it would seem..they said they now have a pipeline and enough industry connections to make this easy). they rarely meet at hackerspaces because of the lack of ability to sponsor food. we talked to them about starting an east bay chapter at sudo focused on linux/open source projects/?? and they were super supportive. they said that this would meet a need that they saw in their community: from their experience, many women were able to reach "intermediate" levels of experience through their groups, but hit snags when starting to develop projects of their own and joining open source communities. their people needed support learning how to navigate open source communities and knowing where and how to start. we'll see what comes of this. finally, the new relic office is so fancy! which brings us to.... *The New Relic Office is so Fancy: A Photoessay* this is their fireplace-oriented lounging area: [image: Inline image 1] this is another lounging area with the view of the led side of the bay bridge: [image: Inline image 2] this is the tiny room whose purpose can only be sex (what other purpose could it possibly serve??? it has a sweet chaise lounge!): [image: Inline image 3] and here they are, the women who code!!! yayy!!!!! [image: Inline image 4] we invited some of the women to sudo room and they were down, so hopefully they will come. yay!

Pinnacle of cultural diversity

by Romy Snowyla

It is so awesome to see Sudoroom as a pinnacle of cultural diversity. There is no tokenism here or random Asian women shoved into showcase roles. It is truly a place where open minded people mix freely showing their diversity and superiority to any capital it's systems and stick it to the man Rock on!!! Sent from my iPhone

noisebridge throwing out Scanning Electron Microscope etc

by Jake

perhaps you heard noisebridge is no longer a hackerspace and is emptying out the science room (where the SEM was) to make room for a radio studio or dj booth or something. ball pit. miloh will be moving the SEM to a safe location but if you want to help make sure no pieces get lost maybe you can help. there are tiny boxes with filaments in them and an ultrasonic cleaner, probably scattered around the trash pile thats forming at nb now. they are doing a dump run thursday. the SEM got moved out of its safe place without a single email about it to anyone that i know of. so help miloh find all the SEM pieces before its too late! -jake On Tue, 11 Jun 2013, Chris Murphy wrote: > Hi guys, > > Instead of taking the Noisebridge SEM, I have a great idea... > > Let's get another SEM! > > One of the problems with the Noisebridge SEM is that the community of SEM experts is too small.

Our Time Lapse prototype

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, There was a link sent to the Nerds for Nature email list about using community photographs to collect data for natural spaces, parks, etc. You set up a single station with a guide for your camera, let folks take photographs with any device, gather them up, then use a photo stitcher to put together a timelapse. I think this is an excellent way to document moments at sudo negotiated by the consent of individuals and through human action, rather than a webcam and automated constant stream. Please leave the pedestal in its current position, there is tape on the floor so you can replace it if necessary. Thanks! // Matt
