Hi all, I'm pasting EFF's outreach email below, but let me add: PLEASE COME! The rally will be awesome, with puppets and projections. And the hearing will also be pretty amazing. Expect to hear from leading experts in the debate. Speakers include: Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps; Amy Sonnie, Outreach Director of the Oakland Public Library; Jay Nath, Chief Innovation Officer for the City of San Francisco; Corynne McSherry, Director of Intellectual Property at the Electronic Frontier Foundation; and Malkia Cyril, Executive Director of the Center for Media Justice; Dane Jaspers of Sonic.net; Tim Pozar of Fandor, Chris Witteman of the CPUC; with testimony from groups like Greenlining, Dave Steer from Mozilla, Tracy Rosenberg of Media Alliance, amongst others. We'll start at 5:30 with a rally outside City Hall and at 7 the event at City Hall begins. Please share on social media and if a any representatives from Noisebridge or Sudo want to speak at the rally, please be in touch. I also encourage everyone to testify at the hearing. 60 seconds for each person who provides testimony. Best, April Electronic Frontier Foundation Dear Friend of Digital Freedom, You are invited to join EFF next Thursday, November 20, for a free public event on the quickly unfolding national debate on net neutrality <https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality>, to be hosted at San Francisco City Hall. The event <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163> is "Bay Area Speaks: A People's Hearing on the Future of the Internet," where you are invited to testify at City Hall about why net neutrality matters to Bay Area communities. Attendees will also receive an update from the lawyers, policy analysts, and activists who have been working on the front lines to make sure the FCC takes the right path forward.

Stuxnet at Techno-Activism Third Mondays: this Monday, 6PM EFF HQ

by Danny O'Brien

This month, Kim Zetter, author of "Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon," will be here to give the inside history of the virus aimed at Iran's nuclear development program: what it illustrates about government offensive capabilities in malware, and what we might expect in the future. We'll also talk about the latest news, including EFF's Secure Messaging Scorecard, and aerial mobile phone surveillance. Plus special guests, networking, and a chance to chat about your own activism projects or find about others going on in your city. TA3M SF is at 6PM at EFF HQ, 815 Eddy St, San Francisco. Call x200 to be let into the building. Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) are informal meetups designed to connect software creators and activists who are interested in censorship, surveillance, and open technology. Currently, TA3Ms are held in fifteen cities throughout the world, and growing. As the name implies, it is held on the third Monday of each month.

sudoroom in oaklandmakers db

by Ben Burke

I added sudo room here: http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/organizations <http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/organizations> resulting in this: http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/organizations/363 I added our location here: http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/venues <http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/venues> resulting in this: http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/venues/2082 <http://oaklandmakers.activatehub.org/venues/2082> I marked the old sudo room location as “closed" and it has subsequently been deleted. I think it was there because CCL’s events in the old space automatically created a record of the old space. CCL is listed on oaklandmakers and their events on meetup.com <http://meetup.com/> automatically get mirrored there. If our sudoroom.org calendar has iCalendar or hCalendar support, their site can show our events, which would be cool.

It's a level playing field -- whether you want to promote your music, apply for a job, play a game or start a business. But that could soon change. The web as we know it today is founded on the principle of *'Net Neutrality*:' The idea that "content" should be given the same priority no matter who it's coming from and who it's going to. Policymakers in the U.S. are currently considering whether or not to adopt rules that protect Net Neutrality. Millions of people asked them to.

dready Sean

by David Keenan

Hi all, The sean I am speaking of is not the awesome sean of Spaz fame here, but the guy with dreads. A lot of us have known him from around, for a while. I've seen him crashing at various group houses and generally around since about 2006 going back to Apgar days, if anyone remembers that house. He says he is a sudoer, although I am not sure if he is or ain't. I suspect he ain't. I know Sean has cognitive difficulties, but after watching him dump about a pint of coffee on the ground and simply refuse to take any time to clean it up because he had 'other priorities', I am not happy to have him sharing our space. After Niki and I confronted him after much - much - haranguing, he eventually got a mop and cleaned it up, yelling at me about some total nonsequitur like how I should care more about Max from FNB being hurt than him cleaning up his own mess (as it happens I drove Max to hospital the other day right after that happened, but whatever.) This is the second time I have had to confront sean about something like this while I have barely been around this last month, but I suspect a lot people don't engage with him when stuff like that happens, so I'm guessing it probably happens frequently. Since he identifies with sudo, I would like to ask Sean to come to a Sudo meeting where he can can be informed as to the the general attitude of respect towards the space and people in it. If anyone can mention this to him or if you know his email? I would like to ask that Sean be unwelcome here until he does come to a sudo meeting. If he is not a sudoer but a guest of a sudoer, I would like to know who will be responsible for dude when he is here, cleaning up after him, etc. I do not think sean is a bad person, just totally in his own world really, and because of that self-centeredness, mental issues or not, he is just uncaring about how he treats others and his environment. I can't believe he expected others, on their hands and knees stocking the fridge full of donated food, to clean up his own mess that he basically pored right in front of them to kneel in. It's just not at all cool. David

Friday Filosophy: Software as Speech

by Eddan Katz

Dear Kopimists and the People who Love Them. For the featured Filo delicacy for Friday Filosophy, we will have potato burekas. I propose we talk about the difference between source code, object code, and executable code in regards to 1st Amendment protection. In other words, when is code speech and when is it a speech-act subject to less legal protection? Below is an excerpt from an essay by Lee Tien, a brilliant EFF attorney for more than a decade, on Software as Speech (2000). These two paragraphs are in the section: Viruses and other "dangerous" software. Of course, as always, we can talk about whatever else. Such as conscience and the unconscionable, perhaps. Lee Tien, Publishing Software as a Speech Act, Vol. 15 Berkeley Tech. Law Journal (2000) http://www.law.berkeley.edu/journals/btlj/articles/vol15/tien/tien.html > Let’s return to the virus hypothetical.192 The main concern lies in the fact that the software may be “diverted” toward unlawful purposes, regardless of the speaker’s intent. This concern is, however, not unique to software. It also applies to other types of information usable for mischief or harassment, whether highly technical like information about nuclear weapons, or utterly mundane like a person’s name, address or telephone number. > Even if the virus author merely posts the source code and fails to release it in active form, the issue remains whether the posting was done with an intent to communicate. If the author claims that she intended it to communicate, we would need to examine the context to decide the plausibility of that claim. There will often be a plausible claim. There is no question that people study viruses and other dangerous software in order to prevent or relieve harm.193 One way to control a virus is to publish its source code so that systems operators can disable or protect against it. Communicating a virus’ source code as part of such an effort qualifies as a speech act because the publisher intends to communicate how the virus works in a conventional way. In fact, one could imagine entire journals or Internet sites devoted to viruses and other dangerous software.194 When such publications aim to alert the world to these dangers, their intent is clearly communicative. sent from eddan.com

Recording Everything: Digital Storage as an Enabler of Authoritarian Governments (fwd)

by Jake

wow prescient, look at the date: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:42:41 -0600 From: Roger Baker Subject: Recording Everything: Digital Storage as an Enabler of Authoritarian Governments http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/papers/2011/1214_digital_storage_… Conclusions Declining storage costs will soon make it practical for authoritarian governments to create permanent digital archives of the data gathered from pervasive surveillance systems. In countries where there is no meaningful public debate on privacy, there is no reason to expect governments not to fully exploit the ability to build databases containing every phone conversation, location data for almost every person and vehicle, and video from every public space in an entire country. This will greatly expand the ability of repressive regimes to perform surveillance of opponents and to anticipate and react to unrest. In addition, the awareness among the populace of pervasive surveillance will reduce the willingness of people to engage in dissent. The coming era of ubiquitous surveillance in authoritarian countries has important implications for American foreign policy. Strategies for engaging with these countries will benefit from specific consideration of the presence, growth and increasing impact of these enormous digital databases. This will impact human rights, trade, export control, intellectual property security, and the operation of multinational businesses with in-country facilities, subsidiaries, or subcontractors. Finally, the use by authoritarian governments of systems that record everything in the complete absence of privacy considerations will lead to a long list of other unforeseen and generally negative consequences. Unfortunately, the residents of those countries, as well as the rest of us, will soon start to find out just what those consequences are

book: Low Power to the People

by Jake

this book is super awesome. it's about putting up FM radio stations around the country in the last ten years (and more) and the group of activists and former pirates that pushed for and won legislation to increase legal access to the FM radio band. it's an anthropological work mostly, and it has a lot of coverage of the gender gap and dynamics which relate closely to what we're doing in the hackerspace movement. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2014 13:04:28 -0500 From: christina dunbar-hester <c.dunbarhester(a)gmail.com> To: Christina Dunbar-Hester <c.dunbarhester(a)gmail.com> Subject: announcing Low Power to the People Dear friends far and wide, Apologies for spam, but I'm pleased to announce that Low Power to the People, my book on radio activism, exists in the world... just out with MIT Press!!

They are under development and can break, but if you want to try them you should. Here’s how: 1. Get people away from the robot 2. Turn on the robot with the black rotatey-dial thing on the top left of the robot cabinet door. 3. Press the “REMOTE” button on the right side of the robot console. 4. On sudodesk, type the following (including quotes): motocommand “SVON 1” The robot will growl appropriately as the servos come on. 5. Now on sudodesk, type the following (including quotes): motocommand “START DEMO" Currently the robot job called DEMO is really slow and unimpressive. Maybe someone could make it wave around perilously… or play the marimba (gently)! We could make a converter that turns midi streams into robot motion. If you want less exciting stuff, try the above steps, but instead of step 4, type: motomessage “MUST KILL HUMANS” The robot will show up to 23 characters of your snarky input. I’m working on these remote mode tools here: https://github.com/glvnst/yasnac <https://github.com/glvnst/yasnac>

my transmitter design on the cover of a book

by Jake

look at the cover of this book (you can click on the image) http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/low-power-people the text in the back cover says: Jake designed this transmitter with the help of wizened elders, to provide a reliable and repairable communications device for noncapitalist communities around the world. At that time, cheap and effective transmitters from China were not yet available on eBay, found by searching for ST-15B in "consumer electronics". you'll notice that there are pictures of Mandela and Ghandi on there. The circuitboards were fabbed eight at a time, so we put a transparency over the whole thing with EIGHT different pairs of dead revolutionaries: Mandela and Ghandi Nina Simone and Rosa Parks Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. Rachel Corrie and Judi Bari Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra Emma Goldman and Mother Jones Ernesto Zapata and Ricardo Flores Magon Annie Oakley and Lyudmila Pavlichenko you might notice a pattern of dichotomy in rhetoric vs. direct action, that was accidental.

good news! the booksale proposal

by D. Scott Nanos

needs to be amended already :) just spoke with the owner of pizzaiolo (Charlie) and he's letting me sell books outside his restaurant whenever I want to (!), so location and permitting concerns are now moot! also, Charlie is *really* into the omni and wants to be a part of it in any way possible. He also owns boot & shoe and penrose... I'm sure he would love to do food/drinks for the upcoming omni fundraiser, so someone please let me know info and dates about that! He called us an "art movement", which I thought was pretty funny. I was stoned so I didn't correct him- plus it's not entirely untrue, although it's definitely an abbreviated way of thinking about what we're all doing. I figure his ideas about the omni will become richer thru participation :) anyways, my $1-$7 booksale has moved and is now in front of pizzaiolo tonight, a couple blocks from the omni. Stop by if you're free! let me loose for a pee break? xoxo Scott

Bookselling outside the omni

by D. Scott Nanos

PROPOSAL: to let Scott sell books outside/nearby the omni up to 2 days a week Dear OOC community, I am intending to start selling books outdoors and on the street, and I'm wondering if there's a way that I can somehow do it, two days a week, nearby or directly outside the omni. I really think this has the potential to be good for everyone! First, ways in which the OOC can benefit by this. I will make the finances of all sales public to the ooc, and would agree to either paying a nominal monthly fee (remember, this is going to be outside, perhaps between TAC and lanesplitters on 48th?), which would be sliding scale (ex: if i actually make any profit at all, the omni gets more $/month) or, preferably, 10% of (non-consignment) sales, which seems easier to me. This hopefully would also cover being able to store (2) boxes and my handtruck in the omni. The boxes would be likely be constant, but the handtruck would only be at the omni 1-2 nights a week max. Another way OOC members can benefit from this is through consignment. Both korl and Jenny have expressed interest in consigning some of their books for sale, and since my operation is so small, I think I could manage consigning with just about any core member of the ooc. The small size is a bit constrictive- I'll probably only have 100 books plus ephemera "on the shelves", and it will be completely curated, so I'll have to be really selective with consignment. BUT i'm really into this idea and hope that it will, in a small way, be able to financially help out members of the OOC who do so much unpaid labor for the omni. I already have multiple spreadsheets that i've been using to track consignments of my own books in local bookshops, as well as for TIL books i've been consigning to owl and company. It's been a couple months and i haven't let anything slip by, so i'm confident I could keep track of ooc members' books, should anyone want to consign! Also, this will totally help bring more people into the omni (and La Commune too)! I think, since I'll only have about 100 books at a given time, a lot of people won't find what they're looking for and will likely walk inside omni to browse la commune's shelves :) Being near the omni will help me out greatly. Since a lot of OOC members will be around, I would be able to go on quick bathroom breaks or grab more stock from my storage box, and be able to see all of you lovely people while "at work"! Plus, I'd get to spread the word about the omni to book-lovers and passersby, and occasionally play acoustic guitar while tending to the "shop", which would make my set-up even better. My hope is that, although this project won't really operate *inside* the building, that it could still serve as a model for other business type tenants/member collectives in the omni, one that is based on transparency, gratitude, and mutual aid. Other closing thoughts/concerns: should I contact the Temescal Arts Center and see if they'd be okay with me setting up in between them and lanesplitters a couple days a week? does anyone have that contact info? and, if I do sell books on the street and have it be loosely affiliated with the omni, would it at all pose any legal problems for us? Thanks and love, Scott ps no problem at all if it doesn't work out for this bookselling thing to be associated with omni- there's plenty of outdoor space all over oakland! that being said, I think it could be really great. <3 pps i'll be having a small $1-$5 booksale tomorrow night in temescal alley (49th and telegraph) from 6-9 pm tomorrow night! Come drop by if you're free!

Hey, are there any education heads at SudoRoom? has anyone at SudoRoom reached out to Oakland Tech? Don't they study electronics and mechanical stuff? Wouldn't hanging around the shop at SudoRoom be a cool way to augment the apprenticeship program and inject a little theroy and science magic? http://www.npr.org/2014/10/23/358238891/what-the-new-factory-worker-should-… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Old Hardware Question

by Samir Faci

I have an old ZAReason laptop (ie. no Windows Lisc) that's been probably a bit too abused to sell off, but I wanted to know if anyone knew of any places in the area that might benefit from it? I was looking for something along the lines of http://www.freegeek.org/ though I don't think there's anything like that (which I'm aware of ) in the bay. Main reason I like freegeek is that it teaches others about computers (educating,teaching and learning) and no matter what shape the laptop/desktop is in it still serves a purpose. -- Thank you Samir Faci

Yes, I agree. We need not, and should not, submit our Articles of Association to the state. The 3500 refers to articles of incorporation. Most organizations don't have "articles of association". It's just a weird anarchist thing that we did over a year before we became any sort of legal entity. :) > If it hasn't happened already, we should also gain consensus on the bylaws > and articles [of incorporation] before submitting them. > I believe Yar said we never submitted the bylaws because we never gained > consensus. Is there an expedited process for getting a decision on this? In > theory, this is due on Nov 7, although I've heard the penalties for delay > are not severe. Consensus was never really the issue. Laziness was the issue. There were a number of Sudoroom meetings last year where consensus was clear about the direction we wanted to go, but it was just never implemented. If we can have something ready to read on Wednesday and mail on Thursday, that's icing on the cake, but I say just do what we need to do for now, including mailing it before Wednesday if need be. >From what I understand, we'll have the chance to change things again when we do 501c3 so it's just an interim document.

KiCAD circuitboard CAD teach / learn session at sudo!

by Jake

Do you want to learn how to make a circuitboard design with FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) at sudoroom with me? If you are interested in working on this, please let me know when you think is a good time to do it. Otherwise I will pick a time and make an announcement, and maybe nobody will see how it's done. i started making the circuitboard for the Hack-o-mat a few weeks ago. This circuitboard will allow a microcontroller such as a beaglebone black to control the FORTY different product vending motors in our Snackshop 2: https://github.com/sudoroom/hackomat i finished entering the schematic (with a bit of exciting vim hacking) and now it's time to render it into an actual physical circuitboard layout. We will need to lay out the card-edge connectors which plug into the vending machines' original wiring harness, and place all the components (mostly triacs) on the circuitboard, keeping the dimensions below 10cm for maximum price value. The finished design will be useful for any hackerspace wanting a computerized vending machine, or for controlling ANY 42 AC electrical loads from only 7 bits of GPIO (charlieplex style). Once the board is designed, we will send off to #hackvana in China to get them made, unless Oshpark is cheaper or more desirable. When they arrive we can start using our TWO vending machines to sell hacker candy to the omni! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Hack-o-mat -jake

in case you missed it: zach houston banned from sudo & the omni

by Marina Kukso

hi all, this may be something that you already know about, but in case you missed it, on july 24th the omni delegates agreed to ban zach houston from the omni. an extended discussion from that meeting is here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2014/07/24_Weekly_Delegates_Meeting zach will most not likely come to the omni any time soon, but if you see him there, please feel empowered to ask him to leave. - marina

Intro and Interest!

by Aman Ahuja

Hi everyone, My name's Aman! I'd love to meet y'all at the Sudo Room. I swung by the Omni unannounced recently, and Joe suggested I drop a message here at sudo-discuss to introduce myself. I'm your neighbor, live close to the Omni. I'm interested in re-igniting an old college hobby around DIY audio equipment; I'd love to build a new amp for my HD 600 headphones. It's been a long time since I've worked on hardware -- these days I do computational math and stats as a consultant. I'm also interested in experimenting with soap bubbles. I'd love to meet you and have a chance to share ideas and learn new things. The new space looks like it has great potential and you're already doing some very cool things with it. I'd be excited to hear about some of the projects that y'all are working on, and more about what the Sudo Room (and Omni) community is like. When would be a good time to swing by and introduce myself in person? -A

bookscanner in bay area?

by Jake

someone came to IRC asking if we had a bookscanner, because they are visually impaired and need to read some books after scanning them. here is what they said in IRC. I don't know how to contact them but I think we should prioritize making a working bookscanner, or at least a regular scanner, at sudoroom, and putting mention of it on our website in an easily read way. Our site is not the best for visually impaired people to read, so we should keep that in mind when making changes. also i am pleased to say that the robot arm has volunteered to help with any bookscanning efforts, if we have a scanner and book that we are willing to sacrifice in the name of training it to be gentle. we can easily attach vacuum and air-blowing nozzles onto its hand, and it can wield a flatbed scanner and place it onto the pages of the books, given sufficient software intelligence and programming. -jake 10:10 < jacques_> Hey, I have a reading disability and am looking for access to a book scanner this week and interested in working with book scanner hardware and software with my local hackerspaces long term. The scanners at noisebride and AMT are taken apart currently and the book scanning service at the digital archive only converts to daisy as I understand it. I need to scan 2 250 page hardback books to text or PDF-text to be able to do text-t[o speech conversion] 10:10 < jacques_> Do you have a book scanner or do you know where I can accomplish this locally? I am a professional AV tech with lots of video, audio, arts, books and DIY experience. 10:22 < yar> jacques_: i don't think we have a book scanner. if we do, it's definitely not well-documented or operational. 10:31 < jacques_> Who would you ask if you were trying to quickly find a book scanner in the Bay Area? 10:32 < yar> idk, noisebridge's scanners may be taken apart but they still have a "digitalarchivist" email list where i've seen some activity recently 10:33 < yar> https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/digitalarchivists 10:34 < yar> oh wait that most recent email is probably from you, huh? :) 10:45 < jacques_> yes...(sigh) lots of discussion for this half-blind half-deaf half-wit 10:45 < jacques_> but no scanno 11:00 < jacques_> sorry for that moment of self-pity. I am unable to read books except with audio and am part of an important campaign I need to ead a book by the 2 authors for short promo http://youtu.be/CsJVwxwYhag a breif promo 11:04 < jacques_> without capital-ism, we would not need to have this conversation because copy-right would not have technology, books and all ideas locked up 11:33 < jacques_> called 3 tech shops techshop.ws for-profit hackerspaces but still cannot locate in perhaps the technology center of the solarsystem the proverbila bookscanner which in theory are becomming avilable in all hackerspaces globally 11:33 < jacques_> diybookscanner.org 12:19 -!- jacques_ [62cff885(a)gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.207.248.133] 12:19 -!- was : 98.207.248.133 - http://webchat.freenode.net 12:19 -!- server : herbert.freenode.net [Sat Nov 1 19:16:01 2014] 12:19 -!- End of WHOWAS

Need green my green impact drill

by David Keenan

Hi all, I / we really need my green Ryobi impact drill.. I haven't seen it in a long time. Any idea of where it may be? It looks like my other green grill, but it's shorter and meant for driving screws only - We need to get a bunch of drills together for taking apart another Walkin - David
