The Flight Deck opening, panel on co-working - sudo representative?

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, See this opening festival schedule: http://www.theflightdeck.org/blog/the-flight-deck-opening-festival-schedule This week I spoke with Trevor runs the co-working space Oakstop down on 18th and Broadway. He was invited to join a panel about co-working on Tuesday June 10th for the opening festival of http://theflightdeck.org/. He mentioned the organizers wanted to get in touch with other co-working spaces in the area for that panel. I put Trevor in touch with Anca from Tech Liminal. However, I wanted to reach out to the sudo room community since Trevor offered that he'd connect us with the organizers of this event about having a sudo room representative on the panel. Hub Oakland is also going to be on the panel, and the panel itself seems to be advertised at an attendance fee. I presume the fee contribute to proceeds for The Flight Deck, which /is/ a non-profit. What do ya'll think? I was offered to join the panel, but I think we could send any one of us once we're put in touch with the panel organizers and if we'd like to. I thought it could be good to show that balance of the types of spaces that folks /do/ creative work at in Oakland, and especially downtown. // Matt

FYI: Oakland Council voting tonight on new California TRANSPARENCY law

by Phil Wolff

Should Oakland endorse Prop 42? CMs Kalb and Kaplan are putting a resolution to the Council tonight to support this new law; final vote. They're inviting the public to speak on tonight, agenda item #16. I'll be stepping out for a minute this evening to speak in favor. - Phil Text: Resolution in SUPPORT of California Proposition 42 - Constitutional Amendment to protect the public's right to know by requiring compliance by local agencies with the Public Records Act and the Brown Act for open meetings WHEREAS, public transparency and freedom of information safeguards are of significant importance to and benefit for the citizens of Oakland and California and the integrity of government; and WHEREAS, the California Public Records Act, passed in 1968, is a critical tool for the public and the press and facilitates obtaining government records, awareness of the activities of government, and effective advocacy in the interests of the community; and WHEREAS, the Ralph M. Brown Act, passed in 1953, guarantees the public's right to attend and participate in legislative bodies of local agencies, including boards, commissions, and councils; and WHEREAS, state and local governments have been in disagreement regarding the amount of state financial support that is required address the costs to local governments with complying with these transparency laws and, at times, local agencies have used the failure of the state to reimburse their costs as an excuse for not complying with the transparency laws; and WHEREAS, requiring the state to reimburse local governments for compliance costs with these laws does not encourage local governments to take steps to reduce their compliance costs, such as through proactive transparency procedures; and WHEREAS, California Proposition 42 on the June 2014 ballot would secure the California Public Records Act and the Ralph M. Brown Act in the State Constitution and relieve the State from paying for local governments' costs of compliance with these open government laws; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED: That the Oakland City Council hereby endorses Proposition 42. https://oakland.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1739719&GUID=98A2B36… More on the law... - League of Women Voters: http://www.smartvoter.org/2014/06/03/ca/state/prop/42/ - EFF (Vote Yes): https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/05/california-voters-check-yes-42 - Pando Daily's analysis (insightful on the implications): http://pando.com/2014/05/02/oh-the-things-prop-42-could-do-for-the-open-gov… - California Legislative Analyst's Office (cities have to pay for their own compliance, a few $10s of millions statewide): http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2014/prop-42-062014.aspx

Fwd: [sfchalkboard] looking for open-web enthusiasts and programmers

by Vicky Knox

I don't know who these people are (do you?), but the project seems interesting. If you'd like to learn more, please email me privately for their contact info. If you'd like, please share with the list what you find out. :] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [redacted] Date: 2014-05-21 21:08 GMT-07:00 Subject: [sfchalkboard] looking for open-web enthusiasts and programmers To: sfchalkboard at lists.riseup.net Hi All We are looking for some skilled freelance programmers to help out on a project for the next couple of months, with the possibility of extension. We received a grant to create a collaborative web platform to support open/participatory data, and digital story-telling centered around water crisis. The idea is to develop a web resource, combining government and activist-science datasets that both publicizes issues of water contamination and serves to build resilience and political change on these issues. The content of the website will be generated through our community organizing and community-based participatory research. We are looking for self-driven folks who have worked in some of following - jekyll, angular.js, html5, node.js, python, - or are generally experienced at web development and data visualization. There are currently two people working on the tech development side of the project and we are expecting whoever joins to work collaboratively and divide tasks with them. Because we are a new organization and working on a starting budget we are looking for people who are interested in the project because they support open data and the community nature of the project. We are able to pay stipends and compensation is negotiable depending on experience. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the job or project. If interested, please send a resume and some examples of projects you have completed to [ask Vicky for contact info]

by Somebody

I checked about 40mins ago when showing a friend how people can help. :) Also, yesterday afternoon I mentioned to a Sudo member and he also got excited and said will put 20 weekly. I am wondering if he did. Makes me happy too! :) Yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> wrote: >You guys, if you haven't noticed by now, the Gittip is at $485.77 > >That means we are making more money than we spend, and we are very >close to covering the costs of our newer bigger future space as well. > >This makes me so happy. > >https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ >https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Gittip >_______________________________________________ >sudo-discuss mailing list >sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org >https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss
