Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon

by Vicky Knox

I'm no longer in town but I have something to say. I think this is a good opportunity to explore. I hear your concerns about their approach, Ryan. I am particularly irked by the inspirational music in the video. *shudders* That said, I would love to take this opportunity to transmit our collective concerns and critiques to them...call it "hacking their framing". :] Whether one likes it or not, these folks have a lot of power in shaping popular technology development and understandings into the future. While we may not revolutionize Google, we can at least encourage them to do their bidding in a way that is a little less evil. I'm happy that they're directly reaching out to hackerspaces, which means they may take notes. I'm also happy that they're reaching out to us because our social ecosystem is quite a bit more diverse than theirs and therefore has more potential for wisdom (I wonder, have they reached out to Mothership or LOL?). The tech industry (or any business that requires a steep social capital (whiteness, maleness, ability to work 40+ hours/week, etc.) in order to have a better (or any) chance at getting employed), after all, is largely ableist and culturally stagnant. Please excuse my nesting.

Fwd: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Arie Meir" <ariemeir(a)google.com> Date: Jun 24, 2015 12:13 PM Subject: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon To: <info(a)sudoroom.org> Cc: Dear Sudoroom community, I'm reaching out from the philanthropic arm of Google, Google.org which supports non-profits aimed at technical innovation. In our attempt to expand opportunity and independence for people with disabilities we have recently launched a campaign <https://get.google.com/disabilitiesimpactchallenge/open-call.html> aiming to identify and support non-profits doing innovative work in the assistive technology space. The reason for this email is that in addition to the campaign,we are thinking of organizing a hackathon around mid-late august focused on assistive technology using this event <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_BQzJD9gpo> as a source of inspiration. The basic idea is to bring the need-knowers (people with disabilities and their families/caregivers) together in the same room with tech folks (hackers/makers/designers) and develop prototypes for affordable products that could serve the needs of the community of people with disabilities. We thought that the hacker community of Sudoroom might find it interesting/relevant and some folks perhaps wish to participate. We are trying to gauge the level of interest in something like this from the hacker/maker/developer community. Thoughts ? Ideas ? What should we think of to make this event more relevant/interesting to the folks involved ? With kindest regards, On behalf of Google.org, Arie Meir -- *____________* *Arie Meir *| Technology Portfolio Lead, Google.org | +1.209.565.3886 <1.209.565.3886> | ariemeir(a)google.com -- *____________* *Arie Meir *| Technology Portfolio Lead, Google.org | +1.209.565.3886 <1.209.565.3886> | ariemeir(a)google.com _______________________________________________ Info mailing list Info(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/info

Fwd: Important: No more bank payouts. Action required.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com> Date: Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 7:12 PM Subject: [sudo-accounts] Important: No more bank payouts. Action required. To: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com> Greetings! You're receiving this message because you're one of the nine people who have been withdrawing money from Gratipay 2.0 directly to your bank account. Our provider for bank payouts, Balanced Payments, is going out of business, and they stopped providing bank payouts last week. We tried pretty damn hard over the past couple months to migrate to a new provider for bank payouts, so that we could provide uninterrupted service for you, but we failed. Sorry. :-( Our backup plan is PayPal. To maximize the chance that you receive your payout this week in some fashion, we chose to configure your Gratipay account to send money via PayPal to the verified email address we have on file for you—the one you're receiving this email on—from now on. Please update the PayPal address on your Gratipay settings page as necessary, to ensure that we route your payouts properly starting this Thursday. If PayPal is not a good option for you, please get in touch and let's see what we can figure out. You've been very patient with us throughout the turmoil of the last couple months. While we can't quite say that we've fully survived the Balanced shutdown yet (due to its repercussions for us), it's a big milestone to be processing at all even though Balanced has in fact started shutting down. Thank you for believing in us as we continue rebuilding Gratipay! :-) As always, feel free to reply here privately, or join our public discussion on GitHub. chad ---- Chad Whitacre Founder, Gratipay +1-412-925-4220 (cell)

Re: [sudo-discuss] I need wiring status for the entrance area please...

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Okay, cool, we will come on Tuesday. Mike and I talked about meeting there the earlies possible, he mentioned even 4pm would work for him. But, I have to confirm the time to him on Tuesday, since I don't know how early I can leave from work that day. I will try to message the list, so you know.

I need wiring status for the entrance area please...

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, Could someone please give me the update on the wiring by the corner's entrance? when I left today, there was an issue that the existing drill bit was not long enough. If making the whole, for the network cable, still not done, please let me know. A friend and I can come on Tuesday with a few feel long drill bit to take care of it. I just need to confirm my friend that it still needed; so we can meet there on Tuesday. Many thanks in advance, Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
