Hey all! Just wanted to let everyone know the projector will be needed on
Friday and Saturday nights for Spied Upon and Struggling to Win
(respectively.) There appear to be no conflicts / overlaps, but I wanted to
affirm this need, in case it wasnt obvious..
Thanks everyone!

Hey all,
Sharing Cities Network<http://www.shareable.net/blog/join-the-sharing-cities-network>is
an effort that's trying to connect people who are building cities
based
on principles of meeting everyone's needs, collaboration, and sharing
resources. The network is providing people with ideas and toolkits and
helping spread knowledge about what people in different places are working
on.
They have a "sharing
spring<http://www.shareable.net/blog/the-sharingspring-is-about-to-bloom>"
…
[View More]initiative and part of it is to organize a
"sharefest<http://www.shareable.net/blog/kickstart-your-local-sharing-movement-with-a-…>"
in your city - an event that spotlights all the collaborative
initiatives/spaces/etc in a city.
Anyone want to help be a part of doing this in Oak? We're planning for May.
Have a few folks from Transition Berkeley & PLACE for sustainable living,
etc. who want to do this.
They even have $500 minigrants to support these.
Any sudoers interested? I'll add you to the thread.

Some of you may remember Jose Luis Rivas, the Venezuelan Debian
developer and Internet advocate who spoke at Five Minutes of Fame a
few months ago.
If you've been following the news, Venezuela has been in a period of
unrest, with student protests throughout the country. Internet
censorship has increased, and I've just heard that that there's been
an Internet shutdown in the state of Tachira.
There's moves within the country to try and restore Net connectivity,
and also I heard moves by the …
[View More]government to create legal methods to
block and censor the Net (it's been pretty ad hoc until now).
Jose is @ghostbar on Twitter, and the Internet access movement is
https://twitter.com/accesolibreve -- Jose asked if folks working on
emergency mesh networking and the like get in touch. I can make
introductions if people email me.
Thanks for listening, stay safe, and see you on Thursday, when I will
talk a little about this...

Hey all,
Wanted to send a reminder to mark your calendars to join Yusef (Andre)
Wiley and the Timelist Group on:
Sun, Feb 23 at 2:30pm - 5:00pm
There are a lot of opportunities to work with this group to connect to
at-risk youth through tutoring and skill sharing, working directly to
support incarcerated persons, and also to help break the cycle of
recidivism for the formerly incarcerated, especially with job training and
computer skill development. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't come …
[View More]yet
to please come on the 23rd.
Additionally, Timelist Group is developing their non-profit structure and
income, which can also use support. They have some grant opportunities, so
being in contact now can go a long way to help them grow.
Finally, the workshop will be oriented around how to become a facilitator
for Timelist Group workshop curriculum. How to become Prison Outreach
workers and community workers for youth and other individuals at risk. This
should be informational for all interested folks.

Good morning,
I don't know a lot of the people on these lists since I'm intensely
antisocial & rarely attend parties, *but* I do volunteer regularly for
Volx Kuche---San Francisco's premier free dinner club + punk cabaret; see
www.vokusf.org for location & times. The first VK of next month falls on
Friday, March 14th, aka Pi Day. I have been enlisted to design a pi zine
for the occasion, which I am happy to do; in addition, I thought we might
serve pie for the event. What this idea …
[View More]lacks in originality, it will
surely make up for in delicious-ness. Stan-Oz suggested approaching
bakeries in the area for donations. I am willing to visit places in person
& request donations, give background on the event, etc., but in the
interest of saving time & effort, it makes sense to tap the community info
bank for suggestions beforehand. So, if you can suggest a bakery or other
local biz that may be amenable to donating pi---say, enough to serve 50 to
100 people---to a free, all-volunteer event such as "the People's
Kitchen," do please come at me w/ it. Ideally in San Francisco, as my
visits to the East Bay are infrequently made & frequently ridiculous. Of
course, we welcome the possibility of anyone else situated in Oakland or
elsewhere in the B.A. willing & able to drum up donations, as well.
Also, I would like to install a layout program such as InDesign or Scribus
on my laptop, & am rather lacking in funds. If you can read between these
lines & have help to offer, it will greatly facilitate our production of
the pi zinelet. Although it is entirely possible, & may in fact be fun, to
resort to the ancient cut-&-paste-by-hand method for the zine as well.
Thanks & have a flaky, golden, fruit-filled day.

Wow I don't recognize MacArthur Bart anymore .. That whole mono neighborhood is changing!
http://oaklandwiki.org/MacArthur_Transit_Village
MacArthur Transit Village
MacArthur Transit Village 2
MacArthur Transit Village (MTV) is a mixed-use Transit-Oriented Development now under construction adjacent to, and on top of, the former surface parking lot for the MacArthur BART Station in North Oakland.
According to the official website, the project will "provide 624 new housing units on a 7.76 …
[View More]acre site, of which 516 units will be market rate and 108 units will be below market rate. The development includes construction of five buildings for high density, multifamily housing, with a new 478-space parking garage for BART patrons and guests. In addition, 42,500 square feet of local commercial and retail space will be constructed, along with 5,000 square feet of space for community use. Phase 1 of construction will commence in May 2011, which includes demolition of adjacent motel properties, along with construction of the BART parking garage and site infrastructure. Construction of affordable apartments will follow in 2012, along with development of the remaining parcels phased from 2014 through 2021." 1
UPDATE: On Thursday, September 19, 2013 construction begins on Phase 2 of the MacArthur Transit Village at the MacArthur BART Station. Phase 2 is a new 90-unit affordable housing community developed by BRIDGE Housing. The project is located in the southeastern section of the existing parking lot. Completion is planned for spring 2015. Construction of the new housing structure and new streets will close a large section of the existing parking lot. BART riders should use other means to reach the MacArthur BART Station rather than driving, such as free shuttles or AC Transit buses. A brochure with information on alternatives is available at the MacArthur BART Station or can be viewed or downloaded at http://macarthurstation.com.
In late October, a portion of the BART Plaza will close for reconstruction. The reconstruction will include a new bike storage facility and additional security features. The closed area will not block access to or from the BART Station. For more information, please visit http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20130911.aspx.

I dont like regimentation probably more than the next person, however I see a need to be a bit more methodical in our organizing of activities so thst we can become more accountable to one another.
I see this as helping to build bonds without stressing as a lot of the logistics work can be done if we follow this format:

Transparency is one of our principles, so we should utilize it for its positive uses and become commited / accountable to one another as we work together and share space, time, and resources.
I think this should go to the list in a truncated form asking people what they think of the idea.
Yes I will work on making a wiki out of this,,,
