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.
Relevant to our interests:

In this day-long training we will learn about the racial and economic
inequities built into the Bay Area's public transit system as well as
current social justice campaigns working to reclaim public transit for our
communities. We will also highlight the movement for building, fixing and
riding bikes as one mode of transportation that can provide free,
ecological and self-reliant transportation for many folks in our
communities, both young and adult. There will be a skill-share on basic
bike maintenance and rider safety with instructors from the Bikery and Bikes
4 Life, two people-of-color led bike cooperatives in Oakland.

> 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.

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

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.
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!

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...
substack had suggested we have a demo night, in the european tradition. an
informal show-and-tell. do tell! let's share what we've all been up to, and
drink the most recent (and best yet!)
subiir<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Subiir>(actually on v.5.0)!
for anyone who'd like to demo, please shoot me an email and we can all meet
up, potluck and plan from 6-6:30
*Friday the 7th, 7-10pm*
*There will be projector
*There will be pews
*Informal and super-high [low]pressure to [high]fun ratio
**Get good shut-eye for the rad “*Today I Learned: Infographics: Convince
with Pictures*<https://sudoroom.org/sat-june-8th-today-i-learned-infographics-convince-wit…>”
workshop on Saturday at 2pm!

Beauty Operators
San Francisco string band playing bluegrass, alt-grass, punk-grass,
cry-in-your-beer-grass & the occasional 80s cover. Laid-back & fun with a
front-porch kind of sound. High-lonesome harmonies mixed with original
musings about modern life in San Francisco.

Joshua Lowe and the Juncos
Moving from traditional bluegrass into the world of “acoustic” music, The
Juncos originally began as a duo with Josh Stacy (cello, guitar, and voice)
swapping the singing and songwriting duties back and forth with Lowe. 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.

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.

Date: Tue, Jun 4, 2013 8:06 AM
Bolt cutters can bypass most pad locks. Schools keep them around for this reason. Security is part technical and part human. Really they don't even entirely need locks (like the member shelves at Noisebridge) locks just make it obvious that the stuff is off limits.
As far as where to put them. Maybe clear out under the enlarger, or clear out the stuff along the wall opposite the shelves in the closet. there are a few abandoned projects, and big, unusable items that we could get rid off.

Re. the locker topic, how many lockers do we want, how big should they
be inside, and how much floor space do we have for them?
I know someone who might be able to help with this, and it would be good

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!

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. Tell us about
your unique presence and how you would contribute to the community, if
given the opportunity to participate here.

To interested parties of the City’s Zoning Update process,****
** **
On March 17, 2013, the Design Review Committee (a subcommittee of the City
of Oakland Planning Commission) recommended that a draft version of
“Guidelines for Commercial Areas and Corridors” be forwarded to the full
Planning Commission for final approval. These proposed guidelines expand
on the new Zoning Regulations by providing design direction that
descriptively and graphically expresses the City’s expectations for new
development on the commercial corridors.****
** **
The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on *July 17, 2013 at
6:00 PM in Hearing Room 1 in City Hall* regarding the draft guidelines.
The purpose of the meeting is to receive input from the public, and to
decide whether to adopt the Guidelines as a tool to evaluate projects on
the major corridors and commercial areas.****
** **
For your review, the following is the web page containing the draft design
guidelines:****

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 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 night will be blogged on the sudoRoom blog--stay tuned! code will
be shared*
A good night for both beginning and more experienced microcontroller users.
Emphasis is on first principles,
trying out new sensors and actuators
, testing out new ideas that haven’t yet found a home in a project,
and *cracking open black boxes* of all sorts for fresh ideas.

Hi,
Is there a file somewhere or a screenshot of the basic settings for our
beloved Type A Machines 3D Printer?
Clarification
- the printer is working right now, but I'd like to know... cool guy made
his own settings
- I would like to create models in G-Code on my own version of Repetier
host on my own computer!
Best,
Romy
4pm! We will set up agenda items at the meeting.

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.*
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. You know,
that one.
am fwding on behalf of those who suffered enough.
hopefully my meddling this morning will do some good, hasten things along.

"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."

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,

Who's willing to help me cook for the meeting? I'm here and so is the
crockpot. I'm not so good at making smart cooking decisions, but
happy to help shop and chop!

Size shouldn't matter too much. Anyone have one lying around?

Subject: FUN: Bikes on Bart!
Hi Cyclists or soon-to-be-cyclists,
Last week the Bart board of directors voted to lift the ban of bikes on Bart! 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!
If you have any bike-related questions (commuting routes, safety, mechanical issues, bike-buying quandaries, ideas on aerodynamic strategies, etc) please come to me!
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. This is awesome!
