Sorry for late notice, but my morning's cleared up and I can commit to
being at the bookfair! I'm going to be at Sudoroom around 8am to pack
up the printer and needed accessories and shoot for loading everything
into my car by 8:45. It would be nice to have help during loading and
unloading. I can pick people up in my car before or after this. I
can't stay until the end though - ideally I'd like to pack up the
printer mid-afternoon and then bring it to the Omni and set it up for
that event, but …
[View More]we'll see how easy it is to transport out during peak
hours.
Lemme know if you'd like to help!

"I certify that the organization for which I am submitting this application
is eligible to apply for the Challenge. This means my organization is a
registered and recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a registered office in
the Bay Area. If you are a fiscal sponsor submitting an application for a
sponsored group, the sponsored group must also be located in the Bay Area. "
So do we …

Hey sudoers!
A coalition of free/libre community-owned networks around the world
has submitted an application for a Knight News Challenge grant aimed
at strengthening the Internet for free expression and innovation.
https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/2014/submissions/toward-a-network-c…
Please check it out, give us feedback in the form of Comments, and
some "Applause" if you dig the idea!
The goal of funding is trifold:
* To support the …
[View More]development of the Network Commons License[1] and an
organization to uphold it,
* To support an international Free Networks summit to gather together
representatives of free networks[2] in one place to share ideas and
resources toward creating the aforementioned organization,
* To support the creation of educational materials, workshops, and
guides for the construction and maintenance of free networks.
[1] There is currently an effort underway to develop a Network Commons
License - similar to a Creative Commons License - to enable legal
support for free networks. Two weeks ago, a group of folks
representing Sudo Mesh, wlan-slovenija, LA Meshnet, Kansas City
Freedom Network and Austin Freenet converged in Austin for the Free
Network Foundation's winter summit. It was an awesome, intensive
couple of days with remote participation from several other groups.
You can read notes from the summit here:

* Draft of the Free Network Definition:
https://commons.thefnf.org/index.php/Free_network_definition
* Draft of the Network Commons License:
https://commons.thefnf.org/index.php/Network_Commons_License
[2] The following groups helped draft the Knight News Challenge
proposal, and we intend to reach out to many more in the coming weeks:
* Sudo Mesh, launching the People's Open Network in Oakland, CA
* Kansas City Freedom Network, in close alliance with the Free Network
Foundation in Kansas City, MO.
* wlan-slovenija across Slovenia and connecting Austria and Croatia!
* Altermundi in Argentina
* Guifi.net in Catalonia
* Freifunk in Germany
* Ninux in Italy
* MedellinLibre in Medellin, Columbia
* Village Telco in South Africa
* Fédération FDN in France
Many thanks for reading - please share with any relevant individuals
and mailing lists you can think of!
Cheers,
Jenny
