Pulled from the men's meeting thread:
"Here's my suggestion, and I'm open to more. Be radical sudo men. Do your
dishes, and smash the platetriarchy. notconfusing"
I love it!

YO! This awesome local harm reduction group is in need of extra funds! Come
join me Friday--let's show our support for the important work they do!
~~~~~
Friday Feb 28 | 7-9PM | Rock Paper Scissors Collective
bring your raucous ramblings, stream of consciousness, sleep conscious
musings for a night of open floor, radical
rambling poetry.
fundraiser for POD (points of distribution) syringe exchange harm reduction
group:
Points of Distribution is an organization that provides HIV prevention …
[View More]and
other services to hard-to-reach drug users and their friends and family in
Oakland and San Francisco. The organization is a volunteer-run coop based
the principles of workplace democracy and harm reduction. POD currently
provides street-outreach based syringe provision primarily to homeless
folks in both San Francisco and Oakland. In the last year we provided about
a quarter of a million syringes and ancillary services through about 3800
unique client contacts. Funding was recently cut and they desperately need
fundraising to stay running.

Hi everyone,
We've been working with the library to plan a bunch of events at different
branches this spring starting on March 22nd.
Additionally, our next regular bi-weekly meetup is tomorrow night at Sudo
Room <http://oaklandwiki.org/sudo_room> at 7PM.
More info on tomorrow's event and details for all the spring events can be
found at http://oaklandwiki.org/Oakland_Wiki_Events.
Best,
Marina
PS - If you're interested in having a LocalWiki but you don't live in
Oakland (or you know …
[View More]someone else who might want to start a LocalWiki in
their community), please let me know. LocalWiki is recruiting new
communities for our new platform and inviting people to participate now.

Hi all!
The People's Open Network <https://peoplesopen.net> is just beginning - an
effort to create a community-owned wireless mesh network in the East Bay,
providing free wi-fi and a resilient local network hosting local
applications. It works by mounting low-cost routers on rooftops and outside
of people's homes. The routers are running software that enables them to
automatically connect to each other and share connectivity.
For those who haven't heard, last week Sudo Mesh
<https://…
[View More]sudomesh.org>announced our
developer launch <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog#Developer_Launch>.
We're testing the firmware with an initial batch of ~20 nodes run by folks
with networking skills who can help us debug. If this is you, please get in
touch! We have a mailing list <http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/mesh> and
an IRC channel <http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=peoplesopen.net>, and
meet weekly at Sudo on Thursday evenings starting at 7:30pm.
The point of this email, however, is to request folks to add to our community
outreach spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_Q7DQvNFT-dC1mVjlaeTVSckhrZU…>.
We're reaching out to non-profits, schools, churches, libraries, coops and
other communities who may be interested in supporting the mesh - either
through hosting a node, getting the word out, creating a partnership w/
People's Open Network, and/or working on local services and applications we
can run on the network.
The link to edit the spreadsheet is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_Q7DQvNFT-dC1mVjlaeTVSckhrZU…
- please do a search for the name of the org you're adding before adding a
new row.
Thanks for any help you can provide in helping to develop relationships and
expand the network :)
Mesh the planet!

TY

My favorite bumper sticker might be "Abolish human rentals! Support worker
cooperatives"
BUT
that doesn't mean I don't believe in corporate inoculation by recommending
principled, justice-driven folks to consider jobs like this
https://jobs.flowingdata.com/job/thumbtack-san-francisco-ca-full-time-data-…
Also, relatedly, is http://nptech.io/ making an impact? I was initially
excited to see it but had no sense of what organizing had been carried out
to cultivate a critical mass of early adopters...
curious,
Danny
I've been asking this question a lot recently, and I think it's
particularly important in the context of noisebridge / sudoroom. "Safe
space" has been used in a lot of contexts, sometimes in feminism, sometimes
in mental health, sometimes just on an individual level. I've also been
getting variants in answers to this question, and I'm really interested in
what this means for you in the context of open communities like
hackerspaces.
I'd really love to hear your answer: it doesnt have to be …
[View More]long or
complicated, just whatever comes to mind first, and feel free to email me
privately. I may talk about general results at an upcoming 5mof or
something similar, but I'll maintain individual privacy and confidentiality
to whatever degree you desire.
1) what does safe space mean for you?
2) if you can think of a time where you felt safe and heard and creative /
productive at NB/SR, how were people treating you or others? How did it
make you feel?
3) if you can think of a time where where felt unsafe at NB / SR, how were
people treating you or others? How did it make you feel?
