This event in Berlin looks pretty interesting and has lots of travel
funding.
Please forward to folks outside of the EU, North America, and Oceania!

Sorry for the long cc chain (especially for everyone who has already
heard about this), but I thought this grant might deserve to be spread a
little more widely. Feel free to forward to anyone (or any list) you
think might be interested.
Best,
d.

Organization: OpenITP
Tactical Tech, in collaboration with the Association for Progressive
Communications (APC), are organising a 7-day event for up to 50 women
and trans people to learn tools and techniques for increasing their
understanding and practice in digital security and privacy and to become
digital security trainers and privacy advocates [1]. This is for
influential and vocal women and trans people, who are women's rights
activists and/or net activists, and who would like to be trained as
digital security trainers and advocates of privacy in order to
strengthen their work and the local networks/organisations they are
related to.
Tactical Tech and APC will fund up 45 women and trans people coming from
any region of the world at the exception of north america, europe and
oceania. There will be also room for up to 5/10 self funded persons
coming from any region of the world.
This is a very nice opportunity so if you could help with the spreading
of this call towards your contacts that would be great. Take into
account that the application [2] will only be open until next Monday
13th of october. So if you are interested in this opportunity do it soon.

Hi all,
Rooms that were cleared to allow drywall, taping, muffing, hole-filling
that are not quite done are being filled up again.
Please do not put stuff in those rooms until they are finished..?
If you would like to use those rooms - help get'em into shape, so they can
be!
Cep will be in the cafe a lot this week and you can ask him what to do -

I am very very worried that my black Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500
<https://www.google.com/search?q=fujitsu+scansnap+ix500&espv=2&biw=1367&bih=…>
paper scanner appears to be gone. It was used to scan receipts,
applications, legal forms, bills, insurances etc for Omni to aid in
accounting and get our paperwork in order. It looks sort of like a small
desktop printer (its made for scanning documents specifically). It doesn't
look like a flatbed scanner..
It was apparently last seen in the cafe Friday or Saturday. Usually it was
stored in the ticket booth room, but since that room is being drywalled and
finished, it was no longer locked up in there. Did anyone see it or move it
during the film shoot? Where is it?
I am really sad and worried and upset about this and I hope someone can
find it because I actually bought it to scan many legal documents and
papers for my own life that I can no longer put off. I was going to go home
and do it and try to take care of some stuff in my life and now I fee like
I can't. Another scanner will not do. I really need this one. I have really
do have thousands of papers to scan over a multiyear period. I am broke and
am not going to buy another one. It cost me $500.
I will continue worrying about this all the time until it is found, so
please let me know if you do. Until then I will be extremely worried and
upset.
David
Was wishing it would be found. I know your scanner and its a really nice piece equipment to have. You scanned all of those OccupyOakland fliers for me. Very appreciated.
Good vibes your way!~

Hi there,
I'm April, a soon to be Sudo-er (I work at EFF, fwiw). Is anyone at Sudo
interested in doing an event for Open Access Week, Oct 20-26?
Could we use some of the collective space to host an event that
celebrates all that has been and can be accomplished when research and
knowledge is accessible and not locked behind paywalls?
Some ideas include a panel and screening of the Internet's Own Boy
(w/ppl from film). Or a share night of various projects aimed and
distributing and opening access to knowledge/fighting copyright
maximalists / someone (maybe me) can offer a quick primer of current
federal and CA open access laws?
Please LMK if this is something Sudoroom ppl might dig or would like to
host at the space.
All my best,
April
PS: on topic

i was totally impressed the other night at danceJS when i saw the Korg
Littlebits modular analog synth... it's these magnetic modules that make
up an analog synth while you snap them together on the table.
and i left danceJS thinking about how nice it would be if there were an
open-hardware version of this stuff, something we could make at a circuit
hacking tuesday with printed circuits and printed plastics.
I thought that we could 3d print a plastic frame for the modules, with the
elasticity of the plastic serving as the springs for the contacts. and
the circuit could be this easily etched pyralux that i have a bunch of..
and it's flexible so it can serve as the contacts on the sides of the
thing.
and then just now i realized that the schematics for all the littlebits
stuff is published on github!
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2013/12/littlebits-open-source-synth-kit-gith…
of course i won't do this project alone, but if you're interested in
wroking on it let me know.

All I can say is, kudos for doing it!
