I appear to be the first person at Sudoroom today. Here's some of what I've found: - Furniture in disarray - Door not locked all the way (deadbolt but the knob turns freely) - Dishes, food scraps & beer bottles everywhere - beer bottles stuffed in trash cans (landlord HATES this as he can get fined) - dishwasher full, but not clean (I loaded it mostly-full before I left last night) - Rice cooker left plugged in and on "warm" - rice inside burned - 3D printer left on, its computer also left on - A thousand paper cuts which can be summed up as "fucking put things away" I won't editorialize. I just want to document this, rather than clean in silence.

Sorry about the sudoroom.org downtime

EFF on NSA | EFFector 26.14

by Eddan Katz

For those of you who are not signed up to receive the EFFector, you might want to consider subscribing today. > View as a web page > > > > > In our 641st issue: > > In most issues of EFFector, we give an overview of all the work we're doing at EFF right now. This week, we’re taking a deep dive into a single issue: new revelations of a massive domestic surveillance program leaked to the Guardian and Washington Post. > > > Last night, we received confirmation from a report in the Guardian that the National Security Agency (NSA) is currently collecting the call records of every Verizon customer in America. The NSA order forces Verizon to provide "on an ongoing daily basis" all call records for any call "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls” and any call made "between the United States and abroad." > > And that’s not all. Today, the Washington Post and the Guardian published reports based on information provided by a career intelligence officer showing how the NSA and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies. The government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person’s movements and contacts over time. > > Mounting Evidence of the NSA Warrantless Surveillance > > EFF has so much evidence of the surveillance now that we've created a timeline. > > In brief, America first learned about the secret surveillance in a 2005 New York Times exposé which disclosed one aspect of the NSA’s domestic surveillance program. We learned that the Bush Administration had been illegally tapping phone lines in the U.S. without warrants or court permission immediately following the 9/11 attacks. President Bush himself admitted at least some of what the government was doing. > > In early 2006, EFF received photos and blueprints from former AT&T technician Mark Klein. These undisputed documents show that AT&T installed a fiberoptic splitter at its facility in San Francisco which sends copies of all AT&T customers’ emails, web browsing, and other Internet traffic to the NSA. > > Later in 2006, USA Today and a number of other newspapers published a story disclosing that the NSA had compiled a massive database of call records from American telecommunications companies, which included AT&T, Verizon, and Bell South. This was confirmed by a number of members of Congress. > > Information has continued to trickle out over time. In 2009, the New York Times reported the NSA was still collecting purely domestic communications in a "significant and systematic" way after the FISA Amendments Act was passed in 2008. > > Section 215 of the Patriot Act and Verizon > > The news of the last few days has confirmed the records portion of the surveillance, and gave us some additional hints about the government’s arguments in support of its actions. The secret court order issued to Verizon was a Section 215 order (50 U.S.C. sec. 1861), a controversial legal instrument greatly expanded when George Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act into law on October 26, 2001. It allows the government to seek "any tangible things" in connection with an authorized investigation and is often known as the "business records" provision of FISA. > > > Section 215 allows for secret court orders to records that are "relevant" to a government investigation – a far lower threshold and more expansive reach than a warrant based on probable cause. The list of possible "tangible things" the government can obtain is seemingly limitless, and could include everything from driver’s license records to Internet browsing history. > > We've long suspected that the government has been using Section 215 to conduct dragnet surveillance. Now we have incontrovertible evidence. Senator Ron Wyden has warned that "when the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry." > > Senator Wyden is right. > > What EFF is Doing > > First of all, we're leading the charge to stop the NSA’s domestic surveillance program in the courts. Since 2006, EFF has challenged the NSA surveillance in two landmark lawsuits, Hepting v. AT&T and Jewel v. NSA. These cases, in which we represent AT&T customers, include both the wiretapping claims arising from the fiberoptic splitter that Mark Klein found and the scooping up of communications records referred to in the Verizon order. We also have fought back against other PATRIOT Act surveillance abuses, including bringing a case that resulted in National Security Letters being declared unconstitutional -- which is currently on appeal to the Ninth Circuit. > > We’re also fighting for transparency. In 2011, we filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Justice for records about the government’s secret interpretation of Section 215. Last week we submitted a brief to the secret FISA court itself in that case. > > And we're pushing for legislative reform. We've organized tens of thousands of concerned citizens to speak out against the surveillance powers in the PATRIOT Act and the FISA Amendments Act, and now we’re calling on the public to demand a full, public accounting of the government's surveillance programs. > > Join the Fight > > We're asking individuals to email Congress right away to tell them in the strongest possible terms that you do not consent to dragnet domestic surveillance. Tell your elected officials that you object to this mass domestic spying program. Demand that they initiate a full-scale, public investigation immediately with the results of the investigation made public as much as possible. Demand that the public officials responsible for this program are held to account. Click here to speak out now. > > > > And we’re also asking individuals to support our work.

Hacktivists For Science!

by Lisha Sterling

Hi Sodoers! “Hacktivism is a form of political activism, also referred to as being part of cyberactivism. It is a hybrid expression linking both hacking and activism, whereby hacktivists make use of the internet ... Political hackers are thereby trying to achieve a certain political and societal change, shift, statement, or behaviour by using technical mechanisms against e.g., political parties, governments, organisations, etc. by using this technological tools." There is a young lady named Leonie who lives in Belfast and is working on her Master's Thesis at Queen's University there who would like to talk to some hacktivists to help her understand what hacktivists are, what we do, and how we see ourselves versus how people outside our group see us. This is good research IMO because it helps break down the images of "hacktivism" as being about destruction of websites and DDoS attacks -- concepts that were part of her initial working definition of "hacktivist" when she applied for her human subjects permit a year ago. When I think of "Hacktivism" I think of many people, but I ESPECIALLY think of sudoroom. You guys are super activists in all the ways that I hold dear, so I hope that some of you will reach out to Leonie and take part in her research. You can reach her at Leonie Tanczer <ltanczer01(a)qub.ac.uk>. If you wish to send her encrypted email, her public key is posted on http://pgp.mit.eduand the fingerprint that I have for her in my own keychain is 3AA3 3037 6DF0 A649 63BC FB22 3417 15C5 FF72 36C2 - Lisha PS I miss you guys! -- http://www.alwayssababa.com/

NSA: All your calls belong to us

by Eddan Katz

The NSA has obtained an FISC order to have Verizon turn over phone data records on all customers until July 19th. Here's the court order: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jun/06/verizon-telephone-d… The gist of it from EFF Deeplinks post (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/confirmed-nsa-spying-millions-america…) In a report by Glenn Greenwald, the paper published an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (or FISC) that directs Verizon to provide “on an ongoing daily basis” all call records for any call “wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls” and any call made “between the United States and abroad.” In plain language: the order gave the NSA a record of everyVerizon customer’s call history -- every call made, the location of the phone, the time of the call, the duration of the call, and other “identifying information” for the phone and call -- from April 25, 2013 (the date the order was issued) to July 19, 2013. The order does not require content or the name of any subscriber and is issued under 50 USC sec.1861, also known as section 215 of the Patriot Act.

Meeting Tonight at 7PM: Add to Agenda

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Trying another refinement of the agenda that is hopefully clearer than last time (for those who were there last time, there was confusion about discussion vs action items, so I've separated it out a bit. I've also brought forward items from last week, so if they are resolved, let's delete them. Please feel edit, remove, and add things!). Agenda is here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting I am not at the space right now, so can't coordinate dinner, but there should be dinner stuffs in the fridge! - Marina

Outreach Media

by Ryan

Hey all, Curly here. I remember there being a brief discussion around outreach scripts and things some weeks back, but dunno where it went. I want to re-open the topic. With logo work coming to a close (see presentation today, and vote!) I am ready to start working on an outreach piece again. Specifically, I want to compose something that speaks to the big vision for the group, and hopefully even think of how to storyboard that in print or film media. I don't think we can ever talk about our mission too much, since it's such an exquisite thing. I got inspired by this short film <http://vimeo.com/66839079> about a Detroit hackerspace. It's not a crowdfunding thing, but it could be. Most importantly, it brushes the dust off our image of Detroit's greatness, and reconnects its precarious future to its mighty emergence as a city of makers. I think we can do this as well for Oakland, especially with a good camera...

As time passed Stacy went his own way, focusing more on looping and experimental cello radness, while Lowe stayed true to the acoustic roots music feel. Over the years, “the flock” as Joshua calls it, has matured into a well-seasoned and amazingly talented group of musicians (see below). Regardless of the lineup on any given night, Joshua Lowe and The Juncos’ sound is steeped in American roots music. www.joshualowemusic.com<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joshualowemusic.com&h=lAQE…> https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joshua-Lowe-and-The-Juncos/134637685384 * _______________________________________________ spaghettinight mailing list spaghettinight(a)tentacle.net Rabbit administers this list; email them at rabbitface(a)gmail.com if you have questions To unsubscribe send an email to spaghettinight-leave(a)tentacle.net https://tentacle.net/mailman/listinfo/spaghettinight

Hey everyone, Doing some art, and I need models. Would be a lot of fun. I would also provide some food. I know some people pay models for this kind of work, but this isn't something I want to sell... It's just an experiment. Let me know if you're interested. -- Cheers, Rusty **

Fwd: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience

by Matthew Senate

I'm generally interested in building bridges to the local sustainability, urban ecological, and permacultural groups in the area. This seems like one opportunity of potentially many to extend the sudo community and create resilience through interdependence or overlap in membership. Hoping someone plans to inquire with the folks below! // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Youtt <jyoutt(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 1:54 PM Subject: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience To: spaghettinight(a)tentacle.net Greeting Spaghetti Night folks, I am writing to you from PLACE for Sustainable Living,( http://aplaceforsustainableliving.org) - a collectively managed community center focused on teaching urban sustainable skills. We have been around for just over 2 years and look forward to hosting a spaghetti night soon, but in the meanwhile, we wanted to alert you all about an opportunity that has come up in our little urban eco-village. Please read below and forward along to any friends that may fit the description. We look forward to meeting some of you at a future dinner. With gratitude, Jonathan East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience Who We Are We are a cooperative urban eco-village formed around the creation and management of a sustainability focused community center located on a 10,000 sq ft property in North Oakland. We are looking for new members who are interested in a cooperative living situation that is focused on shared food, shared work on the property & gardens, and managing the educational center focused on urban sustainability. There are a number of areas to focus on in helping to manage the center. . Maybe you don’t need a spot to land but just want to plug-in in some way. There are many ways to work with us as coordinators, volunteers, seasonal help in the areas of general administration, education, events and facilities. We are currently looking for another stable community member, hopefully with collective experiences such as: co-op living, community projects, food justice, permaculture or regenerative design. We are an dynamic group who believe in and are committed to the vision of a public serving and sustainability focused community center. Our Urban Eco-Village: We have a 10,000 sq ft lot with three buildings, and four travel trailers on site that border a 6,000 sq ft open yard space . We have a 600 sq ft shop space, a 400 sq ft bike shack and a 1300 sq ft barn which has a kitchen, office, dining area, living room, and shelves stocked with musical instruments and art supplies. The barn transforms into a community space for regular educational workshops, panel discussions, meetings, film nights and musical performances. We have bee hives, a coboven, a rainwater collection system and 3 grey water systems that channel our waste water into our garden and landscaping. Living space available: We currently have one travel trailer available at the beginning of June for the facility manager. It is equipped with a bed, kitchenette, seating area, storage, electricity and other amenities. Monthly cost is between $450 and $600 depending on individual or couple, plus $50 for utilities and another $100-120/month for the shared food/meal plan. The neighborhood: We are near Alcatraz and San Pablo Avenues in the heart of OakLeyVille - (the confluence of Oakland, Berkeley & Emeryville) We are on a side street a block off of San Pablo Avenue, 10 blocks from Berkeley Bowl West, Urban Ore, Discount Fabrics, Ashby Lumber etc. and about a 20 minute walk to Ashby BART. Several cafes are within a few blocks and there are several neighbors who practice homesteading with chickens, ducks, bees etc. What we seek in a roommate: - A compatible & cooperative member would find this project to be a creative opportunity. - You have presence and awareness of yourself and your surroundings - You have a life outside the eco-village, but you aren’t too busy to also participate actively in this community - Someone with integrity and goodwill - You are good natured and down to earth - Good communication skills; Ability to listen with compassion and orientation toward finding solutions to problems or difficulties - ‘Make a difference’ attitude: are you an activist? are you trying to improve the lives of others as well as your own? are you aware of your impact on the world and your immediate household and community, working to reduce your ecological footprint? Do you care about your nutrition and attend to your physical well being? - Financial stability for rent and bills, a must - Ability to participate in regular meetings that are consensus based Who we are: Currently men and women from our late-20's to mid-50's, whose activities and background include social and environmental justice activism, visual and sacred artist/maker, puppeteer, homesteading enthusiasts, herbalist, cooking, permaculture, renewable energy, appropriate technology, organizing events and workshops, sewing and crafts, and more. Application process description: Please respond by email to kat2369(a)gmail.com with a thoughtful and revealing expression of how you perceive yourself to fit into this urban eco-village ideally with specific examples from your life.

Robbed at gunpoint.

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

YOs- James and I got robbed at gunpoint, right outside the side entrance, at about 2:45AM on Saturday 01 June. Nothing like thinking that you & a friend are about to die, to screw up an otherwise great night. No injuries, just terror. The guy wanted our cellphones. Lucky us, I don't have one and James had left his upstairs. He got our wallets. It could have been worse, he could have killed both of us. OK, time for the kick-myself-in-the-arse maneuver, for not having gone inside the moment we saw an unknown guy walking down the street toward us late at night. I should know better, hell I _do_ know better, but my safety-sense was down just long enough for the robber to get close enough to pull the gun, and the rest as they say, isn't history, just another statistic that got personal. QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM OUR BUILDING AND THE ONE NEXTDOOR? Peace, love, and safety y'all- -G.

sudodoor buzzer keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute, someone left the door open

by Romy Ilano

- sudodoor keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute. - someone propped the door open... i'm sure no ill intent intended. whoever did it, please don't do this, we agreed to keep the door closed - someone wrote in chalk in front of the sudodoor. whoever did it, please don't do this because we have an agreement with our landlord not to write in chalk on the sidewalk. ( a cheezy sf vodka company was writing lots of commercial graffit in front of our door )

This Sat. June 1st: Today I Learned: The Simple Computer

by Marina Kukso

Please join us this Saturday June 1st at 2pm for the FREE workshop “*Today I Learned: The Simple Computer*.” Perhaps you’ve heard of the 0′s and the 1′s. Perhaps you’ve heard of bits and bytes. But how do the 0′s and 1′s tell your computer to do things? How do we go from 0′s and 1′s to lolcats and code? How does the little box of plastic and circuits do anything at all? Want to have the most basic introduction to what a computer is and how it works? We will break a computer down to its most basic concept and answer any and all questions you will have (dumb questions, smart questions, normal questions – all questions are welcome!). Finally, we will take what we’ve learned and build a very simple computer! If we have enough folks come, we will BUILD A COMPUTER OUT OF HUMANS (WHAT?!)(YES.). Specifically, during this “Today I Learned” workshop we will: - Go on a quest to make computers *as simple as possible*. Intro to computer science. Understand how computers work! - Cover binary math and boolean logic - Make half & full adders made of water, marbles, rocks, dominos, people… - Build a very simple computer with 64 bytes of memory and 4 instructions *This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*

Troubleshooting access to the video:

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

YOs- Wondering if it would be worthwhile to systematically troubleshoot the problem we're all having trying to access the video. MacOSX 10.6.8, using Firefox 20.0 and Safari 5.1.8. Enter the destination given directly by George the landlord: http://50.1.57.132:81 Shows a screen in light blue with the message "please click icon to load and install WebkitPlugin:" and "please restart browser to ensure WebkitPlugin can take effect after install!", and a dark blue arrow pointing downward as the clickable icon. Clicking the download button produces a typical sequence of events that go with downloading something. Restarting browser, with all privacy settings turned off, produces the same result. George the landlord was able to view the video on a desktop machine running WinXP, probably viewing it in MSIE. I'm going to guess that accessing the video requires WinXP w/ MSIE. I've got an XP machine with IE on it, but setting it up is going to be a pain (hint: first I'll need a desk-dozer;-) I'm not going to try on my Win7 machine which is exclusively for PBX/VM programming on my clients' systems. Any assistance in getting that video downloaded to a cross-platform format, would be much appreciated. This 21st Century Tower-of-Babel effect is beyond maddening. -G.

here enjoy http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:96468 I'd print some myself but I don't know how to switch the filament (since it obviously must be printed in red) Maybe we'll have hundreds of these things infesting the room soon, like in that movie or tv show about the things that reproduced too much.

'Fake Geek Girls' Paranoia Is About Male Insecurity, Not Female Duplicit

by Andrew

This is an article I came across lately. Check it out. Here is an excerpt: "For me, then, the "fake geek girls" meme doesn't so much call into question the bona fides of the women in question as it calls into question "geek culture"—real or otherwise. Eddin praises geeks for being wiling to "challenge cultural norms"—but are you really challenging the norms of a capitalist society when you define yourself by your relationship to the crap you buy? I'm not saying that people shouldn't love the art they love. But I am suggesting that the mean-spiritedness of geek culture—a mean-spiritedness that is often, but by no means always, directed at women—is not an accident. A culture that values knowledge and access above all things is going to be a culture dedicated to hierarchy and to power—to defining who is in and who is out. Such defining involves, and is meant to involve, a good deal of antagonism, score-settling, back-biting, and cruelty. There's not much point in defining yourself as the knower if you cannot define others as those who do not know." http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/01/fake-geek-girls-paranoia-i… -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

48hours to make a hacker movie: Starting Friday at 7pm

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, I am doing a hacker movie on Friday for 48hour film festival. The sub-genre of hacker film has yet to be decided, per the contest rules, but we will be doing a hacker film no matter what... like all our other films. :D We could end up doing something in one of these sub-genres: • Buddy Film • Comedy • Crime/Gangster • Dark Comedy • Drama • Fantasy • Horror • Mistaken Identity • Musical or Western • Romance • Sci Fi • Superhero • Thriller/Suspense • Vacation or Holiday Film You can meet us @ the hive(2141 Broadway upstairs in the common space) on Friday night at 7pm. The event will go until 11:59pm that night, and then we will resume shooting the next day at 8am until 11:59pm that night. This is a great opportunity to learn production, post-production, writing, directing and acting. FACEBOOK EVENT HERE: https://www.facebook.com/events/454116534679627/ The finished film will be shown at the Clay theater in the city next Thursday, June 6th at 7:00pm. The Clay Theater is located at 2261 Fillmore, SF. Let me know if you're interested in being part of our team. -- Cheers, Rusty **

Starting July 1, dust off your pedal-pushers and grab your helmet!: https://www.ebbc.org/bart If you already bike to work because you live in SF--now we East Bayers can find out first-hand, why you are so happy all of the time!

Best, David PS There is a bicycle repair station (very similar to http://daviswiki.org/Bicycle_Repair_Stations) right next to the Exploratorium across the street. It's on the south side of the building near the sidewalk. They have a pump, a stand with which to hold your bike, and tools that you can use for free to tinker! I can tell you more info if you like.
