Re: [sudo-discuss] hacking broken ankles (knee scooters, etc)

by Jake

oh no romy that sucks! well, people used to use prosthetic legs which were basically a lower leg that you kneel on top of. so picture an upside-down L and your bad leg is bent at the knee 90 degrees. your lower leg is strapped onto the top part of the upside down L. you put a bunch of padding on the top, and use padding on the back of your calf, and then you can wear it for hours and walk on it just fine. people whose feet or legs were chopped below the knee walked around on such things their whole life. like this: http://gajitz.com/running-start-temporary-prosthetic-for-lower-leg-injuries/

Recommended OSM app for Android?

by Vicky Knox

Help! I am lost in a never-ending list of OpenStreetMap apps showcased on their wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android>! Does anyone here have any recommendations for a particular one? I have two requirements: no proprietary software and yes navigation functionality (BONUS: topographic features). I would also be down to team up with interested parties to split the task of doing a systematic review of all apps listed. w00t! yiVkc

looking for front end and and stats hackers for anti-eviction

by Praveen Sinha

Hello! I've been working with the fine folks who have put out the anti-eviction maps and been doing some of the counter-displacement organizing lately. Looking for some volunteers, particularly people who are able to put together front end animations for critical pieces of legislation that are coming up. But also stats and backend people as well. There is an immediate need, but also some upcoming hackathons, which I'll announce later. If you or someone you know is interested in understanding and transforming housing and income inequality in the bay area and has 133t skillz0rs, please put me in touch! Love! Praveen

Re: [sudo-discuss] Everything is freedom passportbook can we work this into an art project ?

by Eddie Che

Hi there! I'm working on this concept, and could use feedback on some good ideas of what's been done before This is, so me, and you. I love you, Sudo.... All the thing we've worked on before. So, I'm looking for some good ideas here as to how we can do this right, I am designing the transition to not using money and so, would be nice to have something that explained this paradigm better and more appropriately to folks one would meet: http://freeworldcharter.org/ . Maybe these books could have the concepts from the charter？ Ed Che.
