Techno-Activism Third Mondays: Personal servers and Sandstorm, Tech and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement

by Danny O'Brien

A mixture of local tech and global activism this month! We'll be hearing a quick update from the SANDSTORM.IO team, a local start-up that's building a usable and secure way to install popular server apps on a personal, private machine. And we'll be chatting with TA3M-SF favorite MELISSA CHAN, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Beijing, the Middle East, and most lately investigating what happened with the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. We'll talk about what it's like to be targeted for digital surveillance, what on-the-ground activists use to protect themselves, and what a modern grassroots activist movement looks like. Date: Monday, May 18 Time: 6:00pm-7:15pm Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco More info: https://sandstorm.io/ http://knight.stanford.edu/fellows/class-of-2013/melissa-chan/ https://citizenlab.org/2012/07/from-bahrain-with-love-finfishers-spy-kit-ex… What is this again? Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) is an informal meetup to connect activists and technologists who are interested in the challenges of surveillance and censorship, and anyone interested in free and open technology. TA3M happens all over the world, from Amsterdam to Tokyo. You can find out your local meetup here: https://wiki.openitp.org/events%3Atechno-activism_3rd_mondays Want to receive these TA3M-SF updates regularly?

I currently also teach at Palo Alto Art Center ( ceramics) and can vouch that it is an awesome place to work. If interested, please reply to the contact in the below paragraph and not to me, thx! "Hi, Would you know of any women artist/engineers interested and available to teach summer classes in the first two weeks of August at the Palo Alto Arts Center? It's $1600 to teach 4 classes. I really wanted to teach the classes and to be in CA, missing friends so much! But my PhD studies/symposium around this time will be too much. And there was an offer to stay in Mountainview, but it fell through. I really would like to have another woman to teach the classes as it took so long to get girls interested in the class. Descriptions are below, but feel free to use the descriptions to fit the teacher's interests. Materials list is due this week but I can send that in. Also I can send curriculum to the teacher. The main component is the battery and motor and teaching thinking about invention and how things work. No kits, everyone's project is unique. Can be instrument-building too, teaching about sound. I've done this in the past. Most materials are recycled, free, that the Art Center collects. Lots of playing with hot glue--volunteers help kids with this. Also they have a lot of cool materials in the basement including the motors. Please let me know and I can pass a teacher's name along to Palo Alto Arts Center, thanks! Feel free to have any one interested call me with questions: 212-300-7970 (on East coast time). Andrea PALO ALTO ARTS CENTER--- first two weeks in August through 14th 2015 Tinkering: Moving Art –Ages 5-6yrs Contraptions, kinetic art, do-hickeys and thing-a-ma-bobs.

Delegate's Meeting Location: Inaccessible

by Ryan

Hey folks! I've been in and out due to serious health problems, but I'm hoping to be spending more time at the Omni soon. However, there's one thing that's really concerning to me... Since moving into an electric wheelchair for the most part, the delegate's meeting is rather inaccessible. I understand making the basement accessible would be a rather large feat and I don't expect it to be done overnight. However, considering the delegates meetings are such a Big Deal, I was wondering if we could move them to somewhere folks with wheelchairs can attend. But... Severe lack of space, Batman! I understand the the ballroom isn't always a viable option because having it reserved every Thursday night isn't opportune. The adjacent rooms are too small and also not always accessible. La Commune would end up with the meeting constantly being interrupted and the acoustics aren't great for a meeting. Using sudo/CCL might work (cc'ing sudo on this) but then it shuts down sudo/CCL's ability to have events at this time *and* means people have to stop hacking. Another option would be to try and kind of "live cast" the meeting somewhere else in the building that's accessible, but that brings up two concerns: weirdly removing disabled folks from the meeting itself into a kind of segregation, and privacy concerns surrounding recording. Now that the delegates meeting is only every other week, maybe it is feasible to have it in the ballroom, and then if we need the ballroom for something else try and find another space in the building that's wheelchair accessible before defaulting to the basement. (cc'ing commons working group as well, and consensus)

CHIP - the world's first $9 computer

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone know these folks? They are seriously kicking CCL's butt as most popular Kickstarter to come out of Oakland right now... Looks like it's a tiny Linux board, about half the size of a Raspberry Pi, and much cheaper. Very slick. They've raised $1.2M in a week so far... Patrik
