Techno-Activism Third "Mondays": TPP Special, Next *TUESDAY* Nov 17 at Noisebridge 3PM-7PM!

by Danny O'Brien

San Francisco's Techno-Activism Third Mondays shifts 24 hours into the (hopefully not too dystopian) future next week. We're teaming up with colleagues in Washington DC for a special on the Trans-Pacific Partnership with the: >> FLUSH THE TPP HACKATHON Join us for an evening of hacking, building, and meme-making as part of a week of action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement! The TPP, a trade agreement whose text was released just this month: https://www.eff.org/issues/… [View More]tpp . Its e-commerce and intellectual property chapters would extend copyright terms in many countries, limit governments' ability to require source code, place bans on circumventing DRM, increase ISP liability, and strip away privacy for domain owners. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared At this Tuesday hackathon, we'll be working on making new online tools, resources, and graphics for people to use and spread the word about the threats of the TPP. IN WASHINGTON D.C: WHEN: Tuesday, November 17 5:00pm ~ late WHERE: First Trinity Lutheran Church, 4th and E Sts., NW and worldwide* WHO: Activists, hackers, artists, and tinkerers. Some technical background encouraged but not required. IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA: WHEN: Tuesday, November 17 3PM-7PM WHERE: Noisebridge Hackerspace, 2629 Mission St, San Francisco WHO: Techno-activist regulars, and anyone else with an interest in learning more about how the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement affects the Internet and innovation. This will be a hands-on session, where you can participate in projects being developed in both spaces. Here are some sample project ideas: * TPP Quiz: A way for people to become acquainted with the problems of these deals and help them become better at conveying the threats to their friends and family. * Inspect the Text: A tool to highlight portions of the text and how they would affect the public interest, so that people can see what language in the actual text translates to specific regulatory concerns. It could also reveal which industries may have lobbied for or would benefit from this language. * Media/Graphic Repository: A platform where all shareable images, videos, and other media can be put in one place for ease of reference and use. Ideally, this would also have share buttons and also have a way to specify usage via Creative Commons licenses. Hope to see you there! Want to receive these TA3M-SF updates regularly?

juki sewing machine

by Jake

someone was asking a while ago if we would sell this sewing machine. it's the Juki, and it's an industrial machine that normally gets mounted on a big motor table, and uses an oilpan under it, etc... I think we should accept an offer of money for it and send it onto its new home, we have too many sewing machines and this one would be a lot of work, whereas the normal home sewing machines (the plastic kind with internal motors) seem to be good enough for what people do with them. As for … [View More]

$150 DSL modem missing

by Jake

We mailed the wrong DSL modem back to Sonic, so we haven't got our deposit back. Does anyone know where the Pace 5168 modem is? it looks like this: https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/File:Pace5168n.png someone just told me that we never had that modem. Does that mean that Sonic is mistaken about the hardware we were using? If you know of a modem like this please tell me where it is, it's worth $150 to sudoroom to get our equipment deposit back. thank you, -jake ---------- Forwarded message -… [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Benefit Corporation?

by robb

"Most events that we do in the ballroom are educational, and collecting door money could fit into a donations framework pretty easily." unfortunately, unless a group that rents the ballroom is ok with making the event appear as though the omni is hosting/organizing the event, i'm afraid the group would have to be fiscally sponsored by the omni in order for the $ to be "from a charitable source"...even if the event is educational. ~r

You can make money, but most of it has to be from charitable donations. There's complicated math about exactly how much - at least 60%, but for large donations only the first $5k counts towards the total, it's based on a 4-year average, etc etc etc. The more non-charitable income you get, the more you have to worry … [View More]
