by Danny Spitzberg

FYI, this announcement also FYI, Quilted is a bonafide cooperative ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Quilted <hiring(a)quilted.coop> Date: Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 9:59 AM Subject: Quilted's Hiring! To: danny(a)cofed.org Quilted is seeking somebody to fill a full-time owner-track position at our worker co-op. Please forward to those in your network who may be interested. [image: Quilted]<http://quilted.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c502d3b39d30a5286b1abb8f9…> <http://quilted.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c502d3b39d30a5286b1abb8f9&…> Hi there, We're excited to let you know that Quilted is hiring! You're getting this email because you've been in touch with us over the past few years, we value the wisdom and strength of our network, and we want your help in growing our worker-owned cooperative. If you don't want to get anymore emails from us, just unsubscribe<http://quilted.us5.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=c502d3b39d30a5286b1abb8f9&…> . Quilted Timeline This position has a flexible start date, ideally mid-June to early-July. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis. Who are we? Quilted is a worker-owned, cooperatively-managed company stitching together technology and social change. We take on work that challenges us to be more critical and insightful designers, engineers, and thinkers while remaining pragmatic and focused on adding real social value to our projects. Most of our projects are websites built with the Drupal content management framework. We provide services in visual design, user experience, content messaging, Drupal custom module development and theming, HTML/CSS, and strategic web consulting. Why are we hiring? We're excited for someone to join our Berkeley office full-time and contribute to our team working for our nonprofit, cooperative, and social justice clients. In Quilted, everyone wears a lot of hats, but we are hiring for someone whose primary role is: *developer for Drupal projects*. Who are we looking for? You are someone who values collaboration and hard work. You are flexible, curious, accepting, but also willing to engage directly about what isn't working for you. You want to dig in: get familiar with the dynamics of our small business, develop our democratic business model, and participate in consensus decision-making and financial planning. Most importantly, you're interested in becoming co-owner and joining us long-term. We're looking for you to be a collaborator, to dream up crazy things with us, push us, and share your whole self with us. We're going to fight about stuff, but we'll laugh about it afterwards. The most important thing to us is finding someone who is a good fit temperamentally and culturally and who is in alignment with our organizational goals. We're open to hiring someone with a mix of experience, but we expect any developer joining our team to: - Have enough experience with Drupal 7 to be able to complete a site as the only person on the project developing/site building and theming - Be fluent in HTML, CSS, and JS - Be fluent enough in PHP to write basic Drupal modules and work with ours - Be fluent enough on the command line to use drush, manage databases, use ruby gems, use git, and manage remote servers - Have experience with or open to working using an agile deveploment process We're also looking for the following: - Someone with experience working in co-operatives and practicing collective decision making - Someone who is extremely self-aware - Someone with a clear understanding of power, privilege, and oppression along various dimensions (ex: race, gender, class, ability, citizenship, etc) We hate how most job calls don't tell you all sorts of things. Heads up: Sadly, our office is up a flight of stairs and has no elevator access. Applicants must: - Be fluent in English - Be comfortable communicating with clients over email, conference calls, and Skype - Able to learn Quilted's note taking practices - Have a cellphone (iPhone preferred because we have iPhones and our systems work with them well) - Be available and accessible over the phone/video when shit hits the fan Don't worry if you don't totally fit our description. Send in an application and convince us why we should hire you anyway. Why should you apply? We do awesome work for awesome people. You get fair pay and great benefits. Quilted provides a salary of $45,000 annually. Our benefits include Anthem Blue Cross PPO health insurance, vision insurance, dental insurance, and mental health reimbursements. We get 21 paid holidays per calendar year plus sick days and PTO. A Mac laptop will be provided for work. Women, people of color, genderqueer, and LGBTQ people are strongly encouraged to apply.

U.S.-China Green Electronics Competition

by Mitch Altman

People I worked and played with in China are having a competition for people to hack e-waste into something cool. Winners will receive prizes as well as the opportunity to showcase their creations on Slate. For details, please see the website and the press release is here (and copied, below): http://www.greenelectronicschallenge.com/ and http://www.newamerica.net/node/106312 Cheers, Mitch. ------------------ Future Tense Initiative & Tsinghua University Launch New U.S.-China Green Electronics Competition Competition to Encourage Innovation on E-Waste Prevention Published: March 26, 2014 WASHINGTON, DC — The Future Tense initiative – a partnership of New America, Arizona State University, and Slate magazine – is pleased to announce the launch of Green Electronics: A U.S.-China Maker Challenge, an unprecedented online DIY competition focused on preventing the creation of electronic waste (e-waste). The competition, a collaboration between Future Tense, China's Tsinghua University and other partners, invites U.S. and Chinese makers to find creative ways to turn yesterday's cellphone battery into tomorrow's treasure. "This is a great opportunity for the United States and China to work toward common goals," said Emily Parker, senior fellow and digital diplomacy advisor at New America, who helped spearhead this project. "Both the U.S. and China want to encourage the innovation happening at the DIY or maker level, and both countries face the challenge of reducing e-waste." Electronic products tend to become unusable after just a few years, and items such as computers, DVD players and cell phones frequently wind up in landfills. Some of the most creative solutions to this problem may come from U.S. and Chinese makers, many of whom already incorporate old electronic components into their DIY creations. Green electronics will encourage makers to showcase their creations online. Participants will be invited to upcycle or hack an electronic product to create a new electronic product; repair an electronic product; create a sustainable electronic product; or create artwork from used electronic products. They will show their inventions on Instructables.com, where submissions will be accepted from April 7 - May 31, 2014. Following a round of public voting, a panel of judges will choose the best selections from each country. Winners will receive prizes as well as the opportunity to showcase their creations on Slate. Judges include Chris Anderson, former Wired editor; Joi Ito, Director of the MIT Media Lab; Mitzi Montoya, Vice President and University Dean for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Arizona State University; and Sun Hong Bin, Dean of Educational Affairs at Tsinghua University. Partners include Instructables, TechShop, Hackerspaces.org, XinCheJian, Autodesk, and Inventables. For more information, please visit: http://www.greenelectronicschallenge.com/

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Please Note: Bureaucracy Changes Reverted

by Matthew Senate

FYI, looks like the Noisebridge decision-making changes have been reverted. The reverting commit (now, consensus): https://github.com/noisebridge/bureaucracy/commit/4bc2e6594d49fd2142971f014… The previous commit (brief period of hierarchy): https://github.com/noisebridge/bureaucracy/commit/ec75ebb81d7ed17689c962480… ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Madelynn Martiniere <mmartiniere(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 5:15 PM Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Please Note: Bureaucracy Changes Reverted To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Cc: Naomi Most <naomi(a)nthmost.com> The board of directors has reverted the changes to /bureaucracy until further discussion with the greater Noisebridge can be had. Policies to add required discussion periods are also in motion within the board to make sure that incidents like this do not occur again. Given the gravity of this decision, this is a one-time exception, not a precedent. I believe Naomi put it best in a previous post to the list: "This "active board" thing is in its infancy. We only just decided at the ONE meeting we have had so far, what the rules of engagement and proper process were. Were we supposed to have gotten it right on the first try? No. Could I have imagined that the insanity that transpired this first week would ever take place? Hell no." The decision to have the board take an active role I think is a pivotal one in improving some the issues that Noisebridge has been facing increasingly over the years. But neither I, nor the rest of the board, have any intention of disempowering the membership, turning Noisebridge into a dictatorship, or any of the language I have heard used over the last few days. We want to be in service to the membership, not to rule over it. My offer to have a productive dialogue with anyone who has feedback on this process still stands. Cheers, Madelynn _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss

Any objections to OPWG doing a movie at the room after the April Cryptoparty?

by Ed Biow

The Privacy Working Group would like to use the screen to show a flick on April 20th at about 6 PM if no one violently objects. I have a projector and sound system. We figure that the cryptoparty typically winds down at 5PM, so there shouldn't be a conflict. The movie is Terms & Conditions May Apply, which I gather is about all those little on line adhesion contracts we sign every day without bothering to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_and_Conditions_May_Apply I'll schlep along a case or so for fermented entertainment and probably some second-hand pizza or other such gut-pack, and endeavor to return the sudoroom to its full upright and locked position afterwards. If I don't see any protests, cavils or quibbles in the next day or three I'll slap the event on the calendar. Ed
