Server Room Status

by Somebody

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 === SERVER ROOM UPDATES === 2014/07/05: Today Luis, Matt, and I did the walk in the building, and so far the only place that seems the most appropriate to have the server room is the room by the bar. This area is the most ideal in the whole building because the air flow, temperature, electricity proximity, and also because it is where the Internet access enters the building. Since this area is not is not part of the SudoRoom space, we will have to talk about it with the rest of the Sudo-Mesh group and the group approves it, then we would have to present the idea at our Omni Collective meeting for approval. If approved by the Omni Collective, we would need to build: * A 2" or so high floor (two by fours and plywood would do, I believe. * A 55" x 65" cage with chicken wire walls and a door. If this place is NOT approved by the OOC then perhaps we should consider building the Server Room in the SudoRoom Space. High temperature and noise levels are the main issues. If others have ideas/comments/or want to be part of this process please jump in. You may contact Matt, Luis, or myself (Daniel).

Wikipedia Barn Raising in Oakland, July 19. Focus: OER

by Pete Forsyth

Hi Bay Area wikifolk! Please join us for a "Wikipedia Barn Raising" event focusing on Open Educational Resources (OER). The Barn Raising will happen on Saturday July 19th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, at the Oakland Impact Hub, at 2323 Broadway (near the 19th St. BART station). Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Since 2012, we've been working to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of OER and related topics. We've worked to build an international community around this goal at conferences, through our online "Writing Wikipedia Articles" (WIKISOO) course, and through the formation of WikiProject Open. At the Barn Raising, we will focus on improving high-priority Wikipedia articles, and consider ways to strengthen WikiProject Open as a resource for staying connected, learning, and working together. We'll also welcome online participants from around the world, with collaboration tools and scheduled video check-ins. Registration link: Barn Raising registration form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RgXfFfjo0Zjd1nu1NAX-cDQPmWa8-GWvt59n87JwDv…> Event page: WikiProject Open Barn Raising <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Barn_Raising_2014> We hope to see you there, online or in person! Best regards Sara Frank Bristow Pete Forsyth Communicate OER/WikiProject Open Communicate OER is funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

We're not in competition. Each of us is providing a resource to the others. For instance, I'd like to think of this less like "Sudo is paying for this space so it's ours and you can't have it" and more like "this space makes the most sense for our neighborhood's hackerspace and so we're taking responsibility for building and maintaining our neighborhood's hackerspace." And the best way to know what we all need is to have open, functioning channels of communication with each other. :)
