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.

Really worried, missing my ScanSnap ix500 (~$500).

by David Keenan

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.

Open Access Week event

by april glaser

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 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/10/knowledge-should-not-be-trapped-behin…

OMG korg littlebits magnetic synth is open-source on github

by Jake

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. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce?

by Jenny Ryan

Concur'd on all points, Matt. If people are concerned about their contributions being publicly viewable, they can post to 'confidential' or another private list - or simply have an in-person conversation. I'd like to know the particular use cases for which we would need closed, private mailing lists - because I strongly believe that open and transparent communication and documentation is essential to this project having an impact not just within our community, but for the wider world. If we intend to create something greater than ourselves, our methods of organizing, the problems we face and overcome, the things that bind or break us, our experiences of creating the space and communicating about it, all of this is vital and important knowledge we have a responsibility to share so that others may learn from, iterate off, adapt, fork, and possibly change their own corners of the world for the better, inspired by what we're doing here. Let's not keep our history to ourselves. Knowing that our communications are public and archivable also keeps us accountable to ourselves, each other, and the world. We should always _expect_ what we communicate online to become potentially public, and may as well just own it, be responsible for our words, and communicate with kindness and wisdom - because words are often the most powerful artifacts we leave behind for future generations to inherit. My favorite quote on communication, in particular the debate of dialogue vs. dissemination and the way in which communication flows from internal dialogue to outward dissemination: Justice that is not loving is not just; love that is not just is not loving. Just so, dissemination without dialogue can become stray scatter, and dialogue without dissemination can be interminable tyranny. The motto of communication theory ought to be: Dialogue with the self, dissemination with the other. This is another way of stating the ethical maxim: Treat yourself like an other and the other like a self.
