sci/med journal access in hackerspaces?

by Praveen Sinha

Hi folks, I've asked this question before in private with not a lot of good responses, but I'll put it out to a wider audience. One of the things that is nice about being a university is full online journal access. For myself, in the past I've had friends inside a uni run an underground proxy server for me so I can access said licensed content ("Right to Read <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html>" anyone?). UC Berkeley offers the general public library access for $100 a year, which is great but cost prohibitive for starving hackers My question is: is there someway we can get hackerspaces and members forge a path to having access to non-open access journals? Maybe through some sort of library grant, or charity access, or something? My library knowledge here falls short. But there are multiple great reasons for us to do this: * accelerate research and innovation at a grassroots/citizen level. One of the biggest wins I see here is with citizen driven disease research (austin just opened a medical hackerspace <http://district.life/2015/10/02/launching-the-first-medical-makerspace-in-t…>). Can you imagine what the cyborg group could do with a broader network? * open access journals are great, but the coverage falls short * for a lot of folks who have never had access to a university, it's simply a matter of fair educational access * it can encourage projects to re-invent journal access itself Would love to hear ideas or possible points of contact! Love, Praveen

Fwd: Project Update #25: MONDO 2000: An Open Source History by R.U. Sirius

by Scott Edmonds

Hi All, Below is info about a current project to archive something important and dear to me. Before there was Wired and the couch surfing interns who worked for Mondo and left to start Wired-- there was Mondo 2000. I remember reading an issue of URB magazine and noticing Mondo 2000 on the newsstand. Things every Black nerd needed to see at an early age was in Mondo, like: virtual reality, tech pioneers and mavericks, and even an article about Pamela Z. To meet and share ideas with these folks was amazing. Names that should mean something if you believe in the real power of what we all strive to do. > > Captain Crunch, R.U. Sirius, Queen Mu, William Gibson, Mark Pesce, and more. If you're interested in helping to digitize or what not, get in touch with them. Best, Scott R.

I’m under migraine (for real. 3 weeks). Health shit really has been getting in my way. > Anyway, well, my hope that another very professional writer would join me in completing the Mondo 2000 section of the book appears to have not worked out. I gave it an extra month which is why you all have not heard from me sooner. > My final plan to finish/crowdsource the book ought to work, if I can gather up all my skills as an editor at the end of the process. I’m going to push hard for speedy delivery. The plan should allow for that. > Before I share the plan, this seems to be a good place to pick up volunteers to help… even though I haven’t heard back from the previous volunteers. > This is the first place I’m sharing this new plan, except with a few folks personally. I’ll be looking elsewhere for volunteers too. You folks have been exceptionally kind. Thought you might like to participate. > So first of all, the folks who said they would open my ancient discs so I could extract the content? We were going to do this, I think, in September. I’ve lost track of you and haven’t heard back. I have a note that makes me think it may have been Bryce Lynch who was going to help with that. Hoping this will shake the tree. > Secondly, I’m looking for someone to scan all the issue of Mondo 2000 and a bunch of archival stuff … press clippings, ad brochures ad infintum. I’d need it done fast if possible and would prefer someone in the SF Bay Area. Even just the issues would be awesome. > This this would be tremendously helpful and would improve on both the timing and quality, but if it doesn’t happen, I will work around it. > Finally, if you have an urge to write something for the book… or to interview a Mondo 2000 participant who interests you, I’m opening it up to “outsiders.” See The Plan, below… > The Plan > I plan to take a lot of material from the magazine itself and weave the story telling around it. But also, add commentary geared towards the ideas etc. in the magazine. Even more fun, I think… I am inviting people who wrote for the magazine, a few other favored writers and the patient folks who contributed via Kickstarter to rummage through any magazines they may have and write about it. React to an issue or an article or just let something jar a memory and tell a story. > It’s my hope to also have the issues all scanned, but in the meantime, if you have that resource (back issues) it’d be great if folks would get going. > Naturally, I can’t guarantee that every bit of writing will get into the book, but it will get onto the website. Pre-Mondo issues of Reality Hackers and High Frontiers and a few archival bits are at Internet Archives… https://archive.org/details/mondohistory ... but I want to discourage too much focus on the old issues. I’ve got a shitload of writing already about the early years. If you want to participate and you have actual MONDO 2000 magazines, please use those. If I can’t get the magazine scanned soon (or at all) and if I can’t get my old discs cracked open, I will live with that. I’ll be setting a deadline for the end of January 2016 to collect materials. Thank you Thank you Thank you for your patience and support … and I hope a few of you might want to help in one way or another. > Like > Comment on Kickstarter > Want to keep up with projects you love on the go?

#ISO parking space, will donate $50 to Omni.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I am going in a trip from Nov. 3rd to the 11th and I have no place to park my car for that length of time. If someone in the list living near BART would allow me to park in their driveway or similar; between Richmond to SF Airport I would donate $50 to Omni (https://omnicommons.org/donate.html). It will make me happier knowing that I am donating that money Omni, besides that it will way cheaper than paying the airport! I would share the receipt of my donation with you. Many thanks in advance, Daniel p.s. please feel free to email me directly to my email or ask me for my number if you prefer to call.

Would someone be willing to help test my new App?

by Autonomous

It's called "Forum Friends" - a mobile app for accessing and making posts to internet forums. Here is the link to install the beta version for Android: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.autonomous.forumfriends A bit of history: Internet forums are a grassroots alternative to mega corporate social media sites and had their beginnings with dial-up bulletin boards in the days before the internet came into existence. Today there are 10s of thousands of internet forums with some having over 1.5 million registered users. And there are now over a dozen good open source forum server platforms including nodebb, a nodejs forum server. Forum Friends is a multi-platform app written primarily in Javascript with some Java and ObjectiveC code to support Android and IOS platforms. Forum data is accessed and updated via a restful json api and data is cached locally via indexeddb. The app also works with a nodejs server to securely verify in-app purchases. The design enables many possibilities including secure crypto messaging and pier-to-pier serverless message exchange over private networks. If someone would like to install it on their android phone or tablet and take it for a spin, that would be great! Also, if there is a javascript meetup this week I would like to attend. Thanks, Autonomous. I attached a few screenshots.

Collaborators confirmed so far: * Francisco Jimenez, Tucan Vinegars: Selling delicious homemade Costa Rican-style vinegars. Free tastings available! * Abby Normal Art by Antoinette Gaggero * Liberation Food Coop: Fair trade, fresh-roasted coffee, hibiscus lemongrass kombucha, and a variety of teas to sample. * Radical zines available by donation Please share the facebook event widely: https://www.facebook.com/events/1661603590723647/ Flyers will be available tomorrow afternoon at the front counter of the Omni if anyone would like to help with promoting!

IDEA: How to bring bits of money to Omni. Easy Way.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All! Straight to the point: Instead of going to buy a new/used piece of furniture or whatever item from a store, one should ask in their Collecive and or the Omni email list(s). So if a member has it, then the two parties involved will decide the amount of money that the person receiving the item should donate to Omni. This idea is not inclusive to items, it could include services. For example (a real example): I am going in a trip for 11 days (Nov 3 - 11), and I have no place to park my car for that length of time. If I use the parking lot at the airport, it will cost me $18 a day making it a total of $198 plus tax. But, I would be happier if someone in the list living near BART would allow me to park in their driveway or similar; from anywhere in Richmond to North Oakland, or from SF to the SF Airport so that I would donate $50 to Omni. The person doing the monetary donation could do it in person or use the any of these methods online: https://omnicommons.org/donate.html What are your thoughts? Many thanks for reading this email. Daniel p.s. i will send another email with my real #ISO request as an example of what I mean, and perhaps I get some replies. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Electronic Music Production Meetup Tonight

by Berry Maker

Hi! I'll be at Sudo Room working on music a bit after 5pm today. If you're interested in electronic music production please come by and say hello. ************************************************************************************ I'll be holding this meetup every Sunday between 5-7(ish) pm. We can meet at Sudo Room and move into another open room in Omni if necessary. This group will be focusing on the production/composition/programming aspect of electronic music production with an emphasis on Ableton Live and Logic Pro X. However,all DAW's (Reason, Cubase, Pro-Tools, Fruity Loops Studio) are welcome. I'd like to keep the group loose and unstructured for now so we can let it grow organically. The idea is to meet others interested in electronic music production, learn from each other, inspire ideas, collaborate on projects, etc. ~Merry

Hack the Network Jobs List

by Vicky Knox

Email Yvonne (bottom of the email) if you'd like to join this excellent jobs list... ~~~~~ *About Hack the Network:* This project is aimed at connecting qualified candidates from underrepresented groups with job opportunities in tech and tech-related companies. The goal is to use my networks to upend the current networked hiring system, by tapping into pools of talent that people in tech don't normally have access to. *Here's how it works*: 1. Check out the jobs below. I’ve included links to their application pages and if you like you can apply to them directly. 2. However, if you feel strongly that you are a good fit for the position and would like a referral, send me your resume (even if you have already sent it) with your name, the job title, and the employer in the subject line. 3. If it looks like you are what the employer is looking for, I’ll email you to schedule a quick skype call. 4. If we both want to proceed after that discussion, then I will refer you to my friend to follow on with the application process. I can’t guarantee that this process will land you a job. However, you’ll likely stand a better chance than with just a cold contact. Also, I don't post all of the positions that HTN companies are seeking to fill. So, if you see a position of interest posted on an HTN company website which is not in the newsletter, let me know. Please feel free to share this with friends who are looking for work, potential employers, or organizations which you think would be interested. If tech is the future, we should have a seat at the table. *Y-Vonne Hutchinson* Executive Director, ReadySet <http://thereadyset.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7c54a18b5f6760abb3ab5…> yvonne(a)thereadyset.co

paying gig/help a radical bookseller and sudo member?

by D. Scott Nanos

hello fellow sudoers! I wish I could be around sudo/omni more but i am so busy/inundated with bookselling crap! On that tip: would anyone be interested in helping me make a simple website? also, I need someone to help me learn filemaker pro (or something similar, theres something expensive called bookhound that i've heard is good but pricey,) so that I can (ideally) create a single inventory of my rare books and use that to upload onto both my website and amazon.com (or abebooks.com) with the same file.... I think this is possible?! This would be book info, price and in some cases, images. basically i'm looking for someone to help me get started online! If you can help, plz let me know! I have a little bit of $ to pay for this and would definitely try to compensate you the best I can! Blessings, Scott

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] finance-wg report back

In other words, it's bad but not much worse than when we first moved into the building. We've come so far since then, and we've got so much more time to do this right. And a fortune already in the bank to start with. :) Every new day is a gift. Let's celebrate this time we have together and try our best to make it last. My biggest takeaway from Becoming Omni was that we need more communication across the board. So I am going to try to work on just documenting all the things I've been meaning to do but lack the capacity to do myself. And we need to empower new people to take on stuff like that.

Open access publishing plays a huge role in the spread of knowledge, culture, and ideas. To celebrate Open Access Week, we wrote a series of blog posts exploring about how open access is a powerful tool for researchers and the general public. When You Work in the Open, Everyone Can Be a Collaborator <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/when-you-work-open-everyone-can-be-co…> Open access opens the door to a type of collaboration that wouldn’t exist otherwise. FASTR Ensures that Publicly Funded Research Belongs to the Public <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/fastr-ensures-publicly-funded-researc…> When taxpayers pay for research, everyone should have access to it. How Trade Agreements Harm Open Access and Open Source <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/how-trade-agreements-harm-open-access…> We should hardly be surprised that trade agreements are bad news for open access and open source. But neither should we accept it. Open Access Is a Human Rights Issue <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/open-access-human-rights-issue> It’s sometimes easy to forget what’s really at stake. At its heart, open access isn’t an abstract, academic debate. Save Crypto <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff> Some legislators want to force major tech companies to include special backdoors in their products, so that the government can access our communications. We've launched a campaign to pressure President Obama to reject these proposals and affirm his support for strong encryption, and he's promised to respond to any petition through the We the People tool that gets at least 100,000 signatures. More than 90,000 people have already signed. Can you help us close the gap <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff>? <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff> EFF Updates Apple's EULA Gives It License to Invade Your Privacy, Government Claims <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/apples-eula-gives-it-license-invade-y…> When you buy a book, the government can’t demand the publisher or bookstore turn over the notes you’ve written in the margins. But in a case in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the government is currently arguing that the way Apple licenses its software to users means that people don’t actually own their copy of code that powers their iPhones, and thus the company can be ordered to bypass the lock screen in order to get at data on those users’ devices. Success in Sacramento: Four New Laws, One Veto—All Victories for Privacy and Transparency <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/success-sacramento-four-new-laws-one-…> EFF beefed up its advocacy in Sacramento this year with the aim of moving the needle forward on digital freedom in the California legislature. We assembled a team of internal activists and lawyers and hired an excellent lobbying duo. Now that we’re at the end of the legislative session, we can say with certainty that our mission was a success. Suing Newspapers for Rightfully Seeking Records Isn’t Cool, K.J. <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/suing-newspapers-rightfully-seeking-r…> The mayor of Sacramento, former basketball star Kevin Johnson, is currently suing the city’s alt weekly to stop reporters from obtaining emails that may, or may not, reveal improprieties in his office. The case represents an intersection of two key issues for EFF: transparency and freedom of the press. Let's Encrypt Enters Private Beta <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/lets-encrypt-enters-private-beta> Our campaign to encrypt the Web took a major step forward this week. The Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority—which we've been building in collaboration with teams at Mozilla, ISRG, and others—received a cross-signature from IdenTrust. As a result, Let's Encrypt certificates are now valid and trusted by all modern Web browsers. You can see our very first cert in action at https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org. Voluntary Practices and Rights Protection Mechanisms: Whitewashing Censorship at ICANN <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/voluntary-practices-and-rights-protec…> Ever since the formation of ICANN, public interest advocates have been engaged in a struggle to assert their influence against an onslaught of intellectual property lobbyists intent on stacking every committee. Now the stakes are higher than ever. Will the ICANN of the future be a place that represents Internet users or just special interests? How to Protect Yourself from NSA Attacks on 1024-bit DH <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/how-to-protect-yourself-from-nsa-atta…> Security researchers recently presented compelling research suggesting that the NSA has developed the capability to decrypt a large number of HTTPS, SSH, and VPN connections using an attack on common implementations of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm with 1024-bit primes. Read our practical tips for protecting yourself. Warrantless Searches of California’s Controlled Substance Prescription Database Threaten Patient Privacy <https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-california-supreme-court-warrantless…> EFF urged the California Supreme Court in a recent amicus brief to rule that law enforcement agents need a warrant to search records revealing which Californians were prescribed controlled substances to treat conditions such as anxiety, pain, attention disorders, and insomnia. miniLinks UN Report: Protect Public Disclosures of Wrongdoing <https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/10/22/un-report-protect-public-disclosures-wr…> Human Rights Watch reports on how David Kaye, the UN’s specialist on freedom of expression and access to information, is calling upon governments to encourage public exposure of wrongdoing. A Jailed Activist’s 3-D Models Could Save Syria’s History From ISIS <http://www.wired.com/2015/10/jailed-activist-bassel-khartabil-3d-models-cou…> Wired reports on how Bassel Khartabil is currently missing in military jail, even as his open data projects are saving Syria's history from ISIS. Privatizing censorship in fight against extremism is risk to press freedom <https://cpj.org/blog/2015/10/privatizing-censorship-in-fight-against-extrem…> The Committee to Protect Journalists reports on how allowing ill-defined "extremist" content to be removed from websites without judicial oversight or due process can too easily become a tool for states interested in limiting independent reporting and staving off public policy debates.

finance-wg report back

by robb

i attended the finance wg meeting tonight where i learned that our 4 months in this building may be more like 2 months. additionally, the finance wg apparently has huge holes in their records & ask that the collectives give an accounting of any & all payments to the omni over the past year. it was also suggested that we start making plans to exit the building around the new year as our $ will likely run out by then. ~r

do you want...

by Hello

Sudo, Do you want any of the following things? 1. an awesome floor fan. The 3-speed fan motor seems to have died in its sleep, but the sweeping/ocsillator and timers still work, as does the remote control. 2. a small profile linux laptop. There's a short in the cable to the display, should be an easy fix (replace that cable) or use external monitor. Sweet little thing from zareason, currently running ubuntu, probably 5 years old. 3. a pair of desktop Harman/Kardon speakers that just stopped working. I suspect the plug or speaker-to-computer wiring. They kick ass when working. This is the first of more than one notes, offering what I think has sudo-level promise. j.

there is now a payphone outside Omni

by Jake

tonight Robb and I bolted a payphone to the outside of The Omni, next to the front door (on the right). There is no coin box or cover, and the coin slot is filled solid with hot glue. it's wired to a VOIP box inside with the door opener computer. There is an asterisk server in sudoroom made entirely by Robb, which provides telephone service to the VOIP box on the payphone, as well as two other VOIP phones so far - one for sudoroom and one for CCL. The "phone numbers" are sudoroom: SUDO# (7836#) counter culture labs: CCL# (225#) front door: LULZ# (5859#) the asterisk computer is running "FreePBX" and I have no idea how it works. Robb is the expert but he is just getting started/ My vision for the system is thus: Person picks up payphone, gets an immediate recorded message saying "Welcome to the Omni. Please enter the extension of the collective you are trying to reach, or 1 for a directory" and then have it give a directory if you press 1. Then when the collective picks up the phone, they hear that you're outside the door and they can "buzz" the door open by pressing * or whatever on their phone. (Insert magic asterisk script here) Person outside presses the doorbell button: Instead of the doorbell ringing, the button goes to a computer which then calls the payphone, causing it to ring (yes it rings). Person who pressed the doorbell button answers the phone, and hears the above message, since a "doorbell" is really not appropriate for a space like the Omni. (We can still have it be wired to the doorbell but it should do the above and get the people to use the payphone to contact the collective they want) There is no limit on the number of phones we can add. We can put them all over the Omni and probably all over the world with a tiny bit of network routing. Also if you have nice non-cordless telephones (not rotary though) please consider donating them to the project. Or VOIP boxes. I don't think we should tie the system into the regular telephone system, for several reasons. But I do think we should allow hackerspaces around the world to tie into it and be able to call sudoroom and CCL and each other, but we will have to see what the network traffic adds up to on our DSL. Please get in contact with me or Robb if you have ideas for the system or want to help administrate it. We have no idea how to operate Asterisk or FreePBX. thank you -jake

Want a free inkjet printer + scanner?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Does anyone want a functioning HP Photosmart 2575 inkjet printer + scanner? It was in working order last we used it. Getting rid of it because I'm fed up paying through the nose for inkjet cartridges, so we're switching to a B/W laser printer. And who needs a scanner anymore, now that you can simply take a high-res photo of any document with your smartphone? Anyway - anybody want it? If not, I may just drop it off as E-waste, or disassemble it for parts... Patrik

Electronic Music Production Meetup Group - Sundays 5-7PM

by Berry Maker

Hi Sudoers, Last night was the first electronic music production meetup and it was great fun! Some friends showed up later in the evening and we had an impromptu jam. I'll be holding this meetup every Sunday between 5-7(ish) pm. We can meet at Sudo Room and move into another open room in Omni if necessary. This group will be focusing on the production/composition/programming aspect of electronic music production with an emphasis on Ableton Live and Logic Pro X. However,all DAW's (Reason, Cubase, Pro-Tools, Fruity Loops Studio) are welcome. I'd like to keep the group loose and unstructured for now so we can let it grow organically. The idea is to meet others interested in electronic music production, learn from each other, inspire ideas, collaborate on projects, etc. I understand there is another music collective forming at Omni same night and time and I have reached out to them to see if we can combine forces! Looking forward to meeting and collaborating with more of you! ~ Merry

Omni front door card access restored

by Jake

The magstripe card access system at the front door works again. The problem? It got unplugged from electricity. It needs to be plugged in. Presently it's plugged into an extension cord. There is a backup battery in it, which can operate for a really long time, and as soon as it's unplugged, it starts telling us in IRC (hacker chatroom) and we start telling each other to plug it back in, but none of us are there. This happened, and everyone in the chat was like "lol plug it back in pls" but it didn't happen. Instead people came by Omni and marveled at the various wires in the system, thinking they must be the problem. One person replaced the wires to the door, wiring them incorrectly in the process. Eventually it got plugged back into the extension cord and powered up again, but I had to fix the rewiring that happened while people were trying to fix it. It works now. Moral of the story: we are going to wire the thing into the AC wiring of the building so this doesn't happen anymore. If you have questions please let's discuss it on the appropriate list, which is: access(a)lists.sudoroom.org thank you! -jake

Fwd: BREAKING: TPP text leaked

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, Below a forward email I received today from Fight for the Future in case you interested on reading it; or at least please notice this item: *"Make it illegal to unlock, modify, or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10)"* "Check it out on WikiLeaks here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>, or read their overview of it here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…> ." Thank you all of you in these lists that are trying to make this world a better world to live. I sincerely appreciate it your efforts. Daniel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Charlie from FFTF <info(a)list.fightforthefuture.org> Date: Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 9:16 AM Subject: BREAKING: TPP text leaked To: danarauz(a)gmail.com *Last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the TPP’s intellectual property rights chapter and it is absolutely terrifying.* *These are just a few of its most dangerous pieces:* - Compel ISPs to take down websites without any sort of court order, just like SOPA. (Appendix Section I) - Extend the US’s copyright regime to require copyrights stand for life plus 70 years, preventing anyone from using works that belong in the public domain. (Article QQ.G.6) - Criminalize whistleblowing by extending trade secrets laws without any mandatory exemptions for whistleblowers or investigative journalists. (QQ.H.8) - End anonymity online by forcing every domain name to be associated with a real name and address. (Article QQ.C.12) - Make it illegal to unlock, modify, or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10) - Export the US’s broken copyright policies to the rest of the world without expanding any of the free speech protections, like fair use. (Article QQ.G.17) *The worst part is that this is just one of the TPP’s 30 chapters. * *The final text confirms our worst fears — click here to take action demanding Congress vote NO on the TPP. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* For years, governments have held critics of the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement in a perfect catch 22. Officials brushed off public outcry and concern by claiming that the dissenters didn’t have all the facts. This was by design—the 12 country trade deal was negotiated entirely behind closed doors by industry lobbyists and government appointees, and even now the text of the agreement is still classified. But late last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the Intellectual Property chapter, meaning those excuses won’t work anymore. *We’re planning to go all out against the TPP, but the first step is to make sure Congress knows just how many people oppose the TPP. * *Click here to take action demanding Congress vote NO on the TPP. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* Taking action today is just the beginning, because if all we do is send emails and make phone calls, Congress is not going to reject the TPP. Too many giant industries are seriously invested in making sure Congress ratifies the TPP. *If we’re going to win, we need to go big. Which is exactly what we’re going to do.* *So take action right now. Contact your Congresspeople now and tell them to vote against the TPP <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>*. Then get ready to do more because we’re going to unleash some of our strongest campaigns ever. Already we have plans to work with hundreds of different groups as a massive coalition to fight the TPP, coordinate gigantic on-the-ground protests in key cities across the country, and produce compelling content to spread the word to as many different audiences as possible just what is at stake in the TPP. *To do all that, we need your help — if you can, pledge to chip in $5 every month between now and when the TPP fight ends so that we can run our biggest, boldest, and best campaign yet. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* Thanks for all you do, Charlie P.S. Want to read the text of the chapter for yourself? Check it out on WikiLeaks here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>, or read their overview of it here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>.

#climategames

by Samuel Carlisle

Hello Sudoers, I am samthetechie from c-base, Berlin. I am on Mitch's https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NoisebridgeChinaTrip5#People_interested_in_goi… trip (which is amazing). Currently in Shanghai spending a lot of time at this cool hackerspace: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Xinchejian I came across https://www.climategames.net/en/ which some folk at the space might quite like and the trailer (https://youtu.be/PLuSZSI0vz8) is awesome and the concept looks thrilling! So does anyone want to collaborate on ideas for how hackerspaces in general can participate in the climate games and maybe who wants to make a team and get disbodient? Omni/Sudoroom Team? A Noisebridge team? C-base team? etc Not sure about the best way to move forwards, open to suggestions? Maybe a call or IRC meeting would be best? freenode/#climategames I posted this on the mailing list as I see this more as a project rather than a simple: here is a link/thing :) Cheers, samthetechie -- Samuel "samthetechie" Carlisle https://samthetechie.github.io/ BEng (Hons) Dunelm MIET PGP Public Key: 54828CAA 9E01 D8A4 CFEB ED72 B0D2 70D7 1D57 A297 5482 8CAA

RIP Jeremiah Young

by Jake

My friend died! This is how it goes. this is a post he made on October 5th. What does it mean? I don't know. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205260075765654&set=a.22035830133… Jeremiah Young October 5 at 9:53am Eight. A pair of squares. Eight is two times two times two, and as such is the first cubic number after one. As the number of vertices of a cube or faces of its dual, the octahedron, eight is complete. At the molecular level this is displayed by atoms, which long to have a full octave of eight electrons in their outermost shell. A sulphur atom has six electrons in their outermost shell, so eight atoms get together to share electrons, forming an octagonal sulphur ring. Eight is also the next Fibonacci number after five. Within architecture the octogon often signifies the transition between Heaven and Earth, as a bridge between the square and the circle. A spherical dome often surmounts a cubic structure by way of a beautiful octagonal vault. Eight is particularly revered in the religion and mythology of the orient. The ancient Chinese oracle, the I-Ching, is based on combinations of eight trigrams, each the result of a twofold choice between a broken (yin) or an unbroken (yang) line, made three times. Depicted opposite is the 'Former Heaven Sequence', said to represent the ideal pattern of transformations in the cosmos. Notice how each trigram is the complement of its opposite. Echoing these ancient Chinese pairs, the modern world is full of computers which think in units called 'bytes', each made of eight binary 'bits'. In a seven-tone scale the eighth note is the octave, twice the pitch of the first note, and so signals the movement to a new level. This may be why, in religious symbolism, the eighth step is often associated with spiritual evolution or salvation.

Nerds for Nature Summit [Oct 17]

by Vicky Knox

fyi.. http://www.eventbrite.com/e/nerds-for-nature-summit-tickets-18110605308 Nerd for Nature's <http://nerdsfornature.org/> mission is to bring together technologists and environmental professionals to collaboratively build awesome tools that help us understand, protect, and revive the natural world. We launched in 2013 to a sold-out crowd. We mind mapped <http://blog.nerdsfornature.org/post/46177287870/nerds-for-nature-mind-map> and discovered a whole community of nature nerds eager to learn, collaborate, and build. Since then we’ve bioblitzed <http://blog.nerdsfornature.org/post/51050945065/mclaren-bioblitz-success>, monitored landscape changes <http://nerdsfornature.org/monitor-change/>, deployed drones for science <http://blog.nerdsfornature.org/post/98202275419/prototyping-our-future>, measured air quality, and more. Recently we expanded to include Nerds for Nature: Silicon Valley. Now we want your help to envision the next chapter in Nerds for Nature. Join us for an interactive, social evening full of interesting people sharing ideas for what creative tech and design can do for the environmental movement. We’ll kick things off with several lightning talks about successful Nerds collaborations. We’ll then work together to create our next mind map! The more ideas, suggestions, and creativity the better. Whether you’ve been with us for awhile or this will be your first event -- we’re excited to hear from you! *Location:* Manylabs,1086 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103 *Time:* 3pm-5pm / doors open at 2:30pm and there'll be time for mingling afterward Please sign up for the waiting list, even if the tickets sell out! And if you’ve RSVP’d but cannot attend, please remove your name so that someone else may take your spot.
