Who wants to organize a "ShareFest" in Oak in May as part of the Sharing Cities Network?

by Marina Kukso

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>" 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. - Marina

Help for Venezuelan speaker at Five Minutes of Fame / mesh networking

by Danny O'Brien

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 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... d.

Currently- and Formerly-Incarcerated Persons and Family Support non-profit event

by Matthew Senate

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 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. // Matt

Pi day donation

by "Løng$hanks"

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 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. +11+ http://blog.carneysandoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/pi-day-exploratoriu… -- Løng$h@nk$ Not all who wander are lost.

MacArthur Transit Village - OaklandWiki

by Romy Ilano

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 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.

SUDOregistry?

by Troy Massey

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: SUDO Registry Tue.2:28am Oct.8.2013 Wheres the sudo registry? name contact info : E.mail Phone ( for txting) Best times to contact members : "Anytime" is an unaccountable cop.out :( Interests Projects they are working on currently When those projects are sceduled for work on Resources available to help make the project successful Resources required to maje the project successful 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,,, "You are the source of Freedom : the price of Freedom is awareness and action"
