Bump again. Gratipay now (finally) supports emails. Please everybody,
add an email address to your account so you will always get
notifications when your cards are declined. And PLEASE, consider
giving more. We really really really need the money. THANK YOU!

I would like them to be on our side too, and I think "our side" must
unequivocably be the side of prioritizing human needs over property
values.
Hi,
I've been going back and forth with the BID regarding a lotta things
(prompted by the massive hike in our BID tax) and the external appearance
of the building believe it or not is a big issue with regards a perception
of how neighbor-friendly we are.
Great strides have been made visavis debris and garbage ending up outside,
and that is great. However, the newly-longer line of chairs chained up
outside the building, while useful of course, frankly is starting to look
too janky and an eyesore at this point.
In order to improve somewhat the outside appearance of our building and the
perception of neighbors, I would like to cut down on the number of outside
chairs. Basically, I think we should remove all but the bench and the
bare-metal chairs. IE, I think all the new white chairs should be removed.
It's just too much.
In addition, by the way, technically we do not have permission from the
city to put any seating outside. I've looked at our property line and its
not clear actually that it extends a few feet from the building. Even if it
did, there is an easement with the city's sidewalk that means they have
control over it.
I appreciate the doocratic effort to provide more outside seating, but can
we please remove these extra white chairs? Its overkill imo.
Thank yoooo

Are you going to 31C3? It's going to be fantastic!
Amongst other way cool things, I'm organizing the Hardware Hacking Area -- a huge area full of people making all sorts of things. We'll have all sorts of tools available.
If you're going, please consider giving a workshop or talk or presentation or demo at the Hardware Hacking Area.
All you need to do is fill out the form for a Self Organized "Session":
https://events.ccc.de/congress/2014/wiki/Form:Session
On this page, you can name your workshop.
On the next page is the form. For the "Assembly" field, start typing in "Hardware" and it will show you the suggestion automatically for Hardware Hacking Area (which you can click).
We need more cool workshops!
Also -- there is a BACH "Assembly". If you're going to 31C3, please join this assembly by adding it to your user profile after you register on the 31C3 wiki.
Thanks,
Mitch.
Hey y'all!
So far I've only had 2 people officially confirm with me that they want
space to sell things on Saturday.
If you are planning to participate in our little Holiday Bazaar, please
just shoot me an email so that I know how many people I need to set up for!
If you have folding tables or saw horses that could be used as table bases,
please bring them as we only have a couple of folding tables at the Omni.
Also - feel free to come by early to help me set up :)

The Internet is great because it belongs to all of us equally. It's a level
playing field -- whether you want to promote your music, apply for a job,
play a game or start a business. But that could soon change.
The web as we know it today is founded on the principle of *'Net Neutrality*:'
The idea that "content" should be given the same priority no matter who
it's coming from and who it's going to. Policymakers in the U.S. are
currently considering whether or not to adopt rules that protect Net
Neutrality. Millions of people asked them to. Even President Obama (
http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality).
*Come learn more about your digital rights and what Net Neutrality means
for you – and actions you can take!*
** Speakers **
We will have *speakers from really cool organizations* who can talk about
these issues and their impact.
*MALKIA CYRIL* is founder and director of the Media Action Grassroots
Network (MAG-Net) at the Center for Media Justice. For more than a decade
MAG-Net's 175 member groups have worked together to expand media access and
rights for marginalized communities. http://mag-net.org/
<https://oaklegacymail.oaklandnet.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://mag-n…>
*JEREMY GILLULA* is a staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, where he focuses on privacy and civil liberties issues arising
from new and existing technologies. https://www.eff.org/
** Privacy Workshop **
*Bring your devices, too,* and learn about your privacy options in a
hands-on workshop with volunteers from Sudo Room <https://sudoroom.org/>.
** Maker Party **
Or join us for a maker party where we will craft buttons, posters or zines
inspired by this conversation. We will tweet and post your creations at
#InternetFreedom
