Fwd: Personal invitation to SAPPHO & SWEAT this SAT (11:30am, Lake Merritt Bandstand)

by Romy Ilano

hey sudoroom & noisebridge an artist friend of mine and a founder of a mycology (mushrooms as material) company is also a really cool person! She's doing this pride weekend performance event Saturday at Lake Merritt in oakland. I think this would be appropriate for the sudoroom & noisebridge crew LET'S KEEP THE BAY AREA WEIRD! -- Hi friends & accomplices, you're receiving this personal invitation because you are: 1) awesome & experimental & not afraid of weirdness 2) are fond of me, Chani Bockwinkel, Caroline Alexander, Sappho, Kate Bush, Ciara, and/or any number of other contemporary and historical goddesses. hehe. 2) live in the east bay or are not easy bay-averse 3) will forgive me for this because we all love each other and you know the drill: SF Chronicle has decided to cover Heavy Breathing <http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/fitness-for-your-brain/Content?oid=43…>, the summer conceptual fitness series i co-programmed, for the front page of their upcoming Datebook section. They're sending a journalist and photographer to our next session, THIS SATURDAY, and we'd love a strong showing of friends + participants for the occasion. Please come support!! :) Saturday's session is a one-hour weirdo fitness experience under the direction of Chani Bockwinkel and Caroline Alexander, that will involve stretching + dance-aerobic-type exercises inspired by the new work they have been developing around Sappho and Sapphic poetry + an awesome soundtrack featuring Kate Bush + Ciara + others. More details (from fbook invite): Get Sapphic on Pride Saturday with Chani Bockwinkel & Caroline Alexander!!! WHEN: Saturday, June 27, 11:30am - 12:30pm WHERE: Lake Merritt / Edoff Memorial Bandstand 666 Bellevue Avenue, Lake Merritt, Oakland https://localwiki.org/oakland/Lake_Merritt_Bandstand RSVP & QUESTIONS: heavyheavybreathing(a)gmail.com FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DESCRIPTION: Imagine somatics + Kate Bush + Ciara: we'll get sweaty and circular, moving our A$$ muscles and feeling our insides together. Read at least one passage of Sappho (your choice; see resources below), and come ready to project yourself into history while invoking ancient greek women and contemporary goddesses. Wear gym shoes and an outfit that brings out your deep femme/tough exercise queen. RESOURCES: Anne Carson's "If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho": http://www.scribd.com/doc/82932076/Anne-Carson-Sappho-If-Not-Winter#scribd Poetry Foundation's Sappho resources: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/ bio/sappho#poet <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.poetryfoundation.org%2Fbio%2…> Poets.org <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FPoets.org%2F&h=2AQGtm8H6&enc=AZO…> Sappho resources: http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poet/sappho <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.poets.org%2Fpoetsorg%2Fpoet%…> Poems of Sappho (Julia Dubnoff, trans.): http://www.uh.edu/~cldue/ texts/sappho.html <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uh.edu%2F%7Ecldue%2Ftexts%2F…> THANK YOU!!!! xoxo Sophia

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 ?

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

by yar

---------- 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)
