SF Resistor #2 & other unfortunate events (NOT SPAM!)

by Tony Longshanks LeTigre

I hope everyone won't mind this unsolicited zinetic outburst. I simply cannot contain myself. The second issue of my zine is now online at http://resistor.spaz.org! <http://resistor.spaz.org> Click the PDF directory. You will find reading & printing PDFs for both issues of SF Resistor so far. The second issue was actually finished just before Christmas as scheduled, but it's taken me this long to figure out FTP for the first time & get the files up without an internet-connectable laptop of my own. If you are just reading the zine online, select the read.pdfs for each issue. SFR2 appears green because it's printed on green paper. I am heading north in a couple months but plan to produce two more issues of SFR before leaving. I'm already at work on the 3rd one. Each issue will be printed on different color paper. Then I will collect the zine quadrilogy & dispense copies to excellent people. That will happen in mid-March/early April. Instructions for printing are on page 3 of SFR2, & will soon be up on the site in a README file. The site will be developed into a blog (ArcTangent (x) is the name) but is just a seedling file tree a t m. And for anyone who saw one of the crappy first-run print copies of SFR2, the PDF file write snafu has been corrected (it turned out to be a simple directory name error on my part) so I have print copies that look good & are fully legible now. I'm bringing some to the OMNI bookstore this weekend. (My second visit to the new Sudospace.) I would like to help develop the SR zine & teach people how to make zines, do layout both digitally & by hand, etc. Also I am helping my friend, a person known to many, start a combination printshop+cafe in the east bay soon. The need is definitely there. I've been doing my printing at the public library & the print stations there are always packed to the max. I've started giving impromptu tutoring sessions to puzzled library patrons, since I often seem to know more about this stuff than the staff. *SF Resistor #2* *December 2014* *List of Contents* Page 1: Intro / District Zero / Freeks Page 2: Feedback (reader letters) Page 3: Printing, layout & design info Page 4: My Many SF Squats (3 Years of Exhilarating Chaos!)

The Indiebox Project - Web apps that you control

by Dan Krol

Hello, I wanted to tell you about a project called IndieBox: indieboxproject.org/ and to see if there was interest in having its creator come in for a talk and demo. In fact, I'm pretty sure I initially heard of this thing on the Sudoroom mailing list a while ago. The goal is to create a box for consumers to easily be able to run their own web apps locally on computers they physically control, so they truly control their data. The software component is a distribution based on Arch Linux called UBOS. It easily manages web apps as packages, the same way most distros package desktop apps. Did you ever consider how easy it is to install LibreOffice, but how you can't really do that with WordPress and OwnCloud side by side? You have to fiddle with database provision and Apache configs. Well, UBOS handles all of that, as well as concurrent installations for multiple users, upgrades and backups, and it even has a testing framework to make sure upgrades work smoothly. I've seen a couple presentations now at the Hacker Dojo by the guy running the project, whose name is Johannes Ernst. I figured that there would be more interest in a place like Sudo Room for a project like this. I have been an occasional visitor to the Sudo Room, not sure if people remember me. However, Johannes doesn't have any connections to Sudo Room, so he asked if I could reach out to you folks to see if you were interested in having him come in to do a presentation. This may be of particular interest to the Mesh project people, since they are working on local apps. I also told Johannes to check out PeoplesOpen. So, I can post it in that group if people think it's more appropriate, to try to make it part of a SudoMesh meeting. However I thought that the general theme of independences from large companies would resonate would the larger group, so I wanted to post it here first to see what people thought. -Dan

Fwd: New on Craigslist: Free Lockers (sebastopol)

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Free lockers available! They are the 1ft square lockers I've been looking for; one set of 15 lockers, and one set of 20. We just need to go pick them up near Sebastopol with a truck, and a few people to help with the heavy lifting. Anyone (and a truck) available to help out tomorrow? I'd like to keep one for CCL, and put the other either in the basement or in the storage room between the ballroom and the cafe, and put them up for rent for member storage space.

Rides from Berkeley?

by pansophia

Hi there- I am interested in participating in some Sudo Room projects - particularly Mesh, but perhaps others. My problem is I am mobility impaired in multiple ways: a connective tissue disorder that causes artheriosclerosis, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, a tremor- I hope you get the picture that though I don't use a wheelchair, even walking the few blocks from MacArthur Bart is a trial for me. Also I'm extemely slow! I was wondering if anyone drives from the Ashby Bart area of Berkeley and might be willing to give me a ride? I tried volunteering via email but I get the feeling "out of sight out of mind". Apart from my physical issues, I'm quite capable and would like to find something interesting to do with my skills. ~Elisa

Stealing Shit Policy

by null null null

We've got a lot of big items scheduled for next week's meeting, and it'd be helpful to start talking about them now so that the meeting itself can be as fruitful as possible without stretching on into midnight. One of the bigger items is the "Stealing Shit Policy," which would outline an appropriate response to theft in the space. It might be worth extending this into something more like the "Confrontation Response Policy," so that it could address other situations in which someone is threatening the space or its membership, whether they're drunkenly destroying items or verbally accosting people. I spoke with several people about how we could deal with these situations without calling the police or violating our safe space agreements <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Safe_space>. Most of us were at a loss, but Ryan had some good initial suggestions. I've outlined them below as best I recall: - If someone is trying to leave the space with a stolen item, call all hands on deck and block the entrances until they've relinquished it. - If someone is harassing people or damaging the space, ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, then call all hands on deck and form a human net around them. Without touching them, guide them out the door. - Only if someone is physically violent do we respond with physical force. These responses would be absolute last resorts, and hopefully we would never need to employ them. Still, even if we tighten down our entrance policies, we should be ready to respond to people who are abusing the space and its membership. This way, we'll be prepared to respond in a way that's aligned with our values. Are there other ideas about how to deal with these types of situations? I've reached out to some radical spaces back in Austin to see how they would respond. If there are other spaces in town that might have some perspective or techniques, it'd be great to hear from them too. -null
