Tech-for-Social-Good Event: "Our People-Centered Digital Future" | Right now via webcast!

by Yosem Companys

May be of interest to the list. -- YC ***** Today is the "Our People-Centered Digital Future" event, a nonprofit, non-partisan, and tech-for-social-good event sponsored by Constellation Research <https://www.constellationr.com/about> to commemorate both the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights <http://www.unesco.org/new/en/brasilia/about-this-office/prizes-and-celebrat…> (UDHR) and the 50th anniversary of the "Mother of All Demos <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos>." By March 2019, 50% of the world will be connected to the Internet, an inflection point that marks an important moment for examining the “unfinished work” of the Internet and discussing the community norms, human rights, and social contracts required in the digital age. The event is well underway: Internet co-inventor Vint Cerf and Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee have already delivered their introductory remarks. If you missed their talks, don't worry. You can click on the Livestream timeline below to view them. There are many more events to come today and into the late evening. This is a simulcast of the YouTube feed at https://youtu.be/S87r9Bn058s> (which does buffer occasionally), but with added AI captions and speaker names.

Stuff in the entrance hall

by Laura Turiano

Hey everyone- All this stuff (see photo) appeared in the entrance hall over night. I don’t know how many times we have to tell people not to leave stuff in the entrance hall until it stops happening. The EB Zine fest is here tomorrow and they need the EH clear. Any information about who left it is appreciated. If you had anything to do with leaving it, come and move it out or into the basement now. Laura Sent from my iPhone

Cheap tablet with LineageOS

by Marc Juul

Every now and again woot.com sells the 5th generation Amazon Fire tablet (from 2015), and a couple of weeks ago it popped up for $16 + taxes/fees. I bought one and it turns out that you can flash an unofficial older version of LineageOS, which is still being maintained for this device, and get a surprisingly good little tablet running 100% FOSS (well except the bootloader depending on which Fire OS version it has). I wrote up a short guide in case anyone else is interested: https://gist.github.com/Juul/3f93655efb8d99b89a29168dd255b5a2 Beware that I haven't verified this procedure on the latest Fire OS versions since the tablet i got didn't have the latest version and I didn't want to tempt fate. From forum reports it doesn't seem like woot is shipping tablets with the latest firmware anyway, but I can't say with any certainty. If you get one, just make sure you keep the WiFi disabled until the guide tells you to turn it on, to prevent it from auto-updating. -- marc/juul

Fwd: [omni-finance] Fwd: Will the Omni sponsor CR's 20th Anniversary (December 9th)?

by robb

any blocks/objections? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Julio Rios <julio.rios(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Nov 25, 2018 at 3:25 PM Subject: [omni-finance] Fwd: Will the Omni sponsor CR's 20th Anniversary (December 9th)? To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: <finance(a)omnicommons.org> Delegates, My apologies for not bringing this to a delegates meeting or by email sooner. *Please respond by December 1 if at all possible. * I asked the finance working group if the Omni could formally sponsor this event as an organization, and while everyone in the group agreed that we could and should, they requested that I make a formal request to the delegates since it would entail donating funds to an external group. Last year, I contributed $200 on behalf of the Omni and shared a handful of tickets for Omni folks to attend the Annual Critical Resistance program. This year, the event is even bigger and it features a conversation moderated by Angela Davis celebrating 20 years of prison industrial complex abolition. This year, Laura has agreed to cover half the amount for the minimum organizational contribution of $500, so I am requesting *for the Omni to contribute $250. * Thank you all so much for your consideration in supporting the ongoing work of this highly respected Oakland-based organization aligned with the values and mission of the Omni Commons. If this is approved, l please contact me privately if you are interested in attending the program on behalf of the Omni on December 9.

Alongside other abolitionists, we have achieved many victories -- from successfully stopping the construction of new jails in New York to Los Angeles, to ending the use of racist gang injunctions in Oakland and stopping California's 20-year prison building boom. Our campaigns, vision and strategies have been shared and used as blue-prints across the US and internationally. We invite you to join us in celebrating the gains we have made together, feeding our minds and our spirits, and preparing for the pitched battle of the next 20 years. Every donation, ticket or sponsorship will amplify the vision of liberated communities and the fierce, joyful will of our people to fight to win. *Poster design by Kate DeCiccio @k8Deciccio <https://www.instagram.com/k8deciccio/> and Jules Retzlaff @Cerealforthekids <https://www.instagram.com/cerealforthekids/>.

Asylum Seekers Caravan: Update 2018-11-25

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I cannot go in details here, because it is not the proper place, besides that I still don't know why; but I was kicked out of the group by the person that I went to join, and later on other two members that came to join the group were asked to leave as well. In our last days the three that got kicked out worked together and it was for the best. We bonded and we became friends, brainstorming and decision making was way easier, horizontal. We, the original group of four, found two asylum seekers in Mazatlan. After that two of us, an Italian gay person and myself, supported the asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. While the two others the group flew from Mazatlan to Tijuana. One of the asylum seekers, man in his 40s, had an accident the day before about 1pm. He tried to aboard a cargo train while in movement. He hit his face against the train, and was ejected back out to he ground, where as he said, "went into sleep really quickly" until in the dark of the night when he was feeling cold. At that time he just dragged himself away from the railroad tracks to avoid potential incoming trains, to just to curl and continue sleeping again until the morning when the sun was too hot. A few hours later we found him. Cuts on his face and hands. In the same railroad area, among train containers, there was a 16 years old and he also was supported. Both of them are now in Tijuana. The kid is in a safe place, with shelter and food, wiht moms and kids, and already got a number enlisting himself for asylum. -I lost contact with the man. But last thing I know is that he has a place where to sleep and eat with the person that kicked me out of the group. I hope he is okay. Both were given new clothes, and shoes while in Mazatlan. The funds came from donations like yours. Thank you for that. We didn't help tons of people, we helped only two. At the beginning when I was in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco I did some short interviews and one of them was with Vivian https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/20/2018-11-18-vivian-a-computer-te… which we kept in touch. At the time, we couldn't help them. But at least we have been on WhatsApp. Yesterday latest news, they were in Mexicali for a few days already and has not eaten, he/she said was hungry. And that a bus was living tomorrow to Tijuana, but for only the ones that can afford the ticket. I sent some money, but they was not able to pick it up, the local store asked for Mexican Electoral ID. So, we lost, 1000 pesos. I had sent enough for Vivian and partner, and some change. I have to say that I didn't ask for money to support my flight ticket to Jalisco. And my expenses there, were covered by donations that my new gay friend had received. During the trip up north Mexico, I was in contact with another small group that was made up of three mom, two husbands, four children (including a baby that was born in Puebla, after jumps of the truck sent the mom to the hospital). https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/24/2018-11-23-ten-days-old-baby-th… There are not public videos of the two we helped directly, because they wanted it private. They allow me to interview them when we arrived to Tijuana, for me to remember them.But they are okay with some photos in my facebook account, you may see them there. Thank you to all of you that supported with moral encouragement, and some that donated. If you feel that you want to donate, because what I lived and experienced and the work I saw done today I recommend https://www.facebook.com/ActivateLabs/ donation point: https://www.facebook.com/donate/485476331860297/ The donate button at https://asylumseekerscaravan.org already reflects this new donation point. Many thanks to all of you, <3! Daniel

Parts drawers organization at sudoroom

by Jake

the noisebridge info system is called stuff-org and was written by Henner, who is local in San Francisco. It was installed on a server at sudoroom recently a few months ago, but it's not fully configured and nobody knows how to use it. although i also like the idea of hot-gluing one item to the front of each parts drawer, although that doesn't help with transistors because you want to know what they're actually good for. So the parts system below would be best: https://github.com/hzeller/stuff-org https://parts.noisebridge.net/status On Thu, 22 Nov 2018, Jared Null wrote: > it's alright, it was a loss to the collective as a whole, it's too bad they couldn't hold on to it any longer, so no fault or blame or anything, they said the've been trying to get rid of it for a year. i was hoping to help replicate an inventory system like NoiseBridge for small components, but i have no idea how their system works. > > If we have something that has 500 drawers in it, it would be pretty annoying if every draw just had random stuff in it, i have a super awesome label maker mp-71 Brady and 1000s of labels and i can pump out labels like a maniac if we ever need things labeled like this. > > HAPPY TURKEY DAY! > Null > > > >> On Nov 21, 2018, at 11:45 PM, Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Argh - sorry for having you come all the way out there for nothing!
