I talked about this a bit at last week's meeting. I am putting together a music show featuring Sole, Pat the Bunny, 40 Thieves/Eddie Falcon, and The Last Barfighter. Sole and Pat are coming in for a couple days in Denver and they asked me to try to find a venue . They preferred not to have it at a traditional venue (bar), they want it to be all-ages, able to have at least 100 people. Elliot from the Hot Mess is working on this with me. We were going to have this at the RCA, but they are not trying to have any events there now. Elliot says he talked to somebody from Sudo, and now our priority is to be able to confirm a date. At the meeting, you told me to email your landlord. I can do this, but I feel like it might be better if it came from someone who has a relationship with the landlord. We can have a small crew available for ticketing, emcee, security (if needed), cleanup. Here is a summary of what is being planned for: Music show from 8pm to no later than midnight (likely 11pm) with four artists (two local). $5-10 tickets (no one turned away for lack of funds) All ages BYOB Expecting about 100 for audience. It would be great if someone could ask your landlord about this.. I can compose a letter or your can. Or if you think it would be OK, I can email a letter myself, but I would need the contact information. Thank you, I hope this works out. Please email me with any questions, comments, concerns. -- Scott Olsen Use PGP/GPG for communication security HOWTO: https://help.riseup.net/en/message-security My public key: https://scottolsen.org/scottolsen.pub

Domain Awareness Center (Today)

by dj8ow8s+2l0dk4＠guerrillamail.com

The city council is voting tomorrow on the Domain Awareness Center. There will be a protest at Oscar Grant Plaza at 6:30 pm. There are strong arguments to wear a mask: 1) A protest is intended to show support or opposition to an idea. It's not about the individual, just the message. 2) A mask may prevent you from getting fired from your job: http://pastebin.com/MMSaL5Pc 3) A mask may suggest to the city council that if they continue with this center that wearing a mask will become a style (in a similar manner as sunglasses) in Oakland and therefore only further complicate law enforcement. In other words......... I hope I don't see you there tomorrow. ---- Sent using GuerrillMail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=UlRwCkAESqcWnR2n0HIWYQDUA9mF1thCyKtP…

Not a sober space, but...

by Chris Bee

...I feel really awkward proposing this, but lately it seems like the thing to do with some of the newcomers goes something like this- 1. Get loaded somewhere else 2. Head to Sudo 3. ??? 4. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! (and/or pass out, depending) As someone who used to do this on a nightly basis, I kind of get it but even in my finer moments I don't think I would have shown up at a space where people were trying to work and expected a warm reception. And, as someone who has chosen to embrace sobriety I have no quarrel with people who haven't, but since I haven't really developed the patience required to deal with drunk folks yet I tend to retreat or act somewhat distant towards them. Sometimes this results in them chasing me around the space because they want to "hang out," especially if I'm working on music stuff...that's okay if they can do so in a non-disruptive manner, but I'm kind of screwed if they can't so I'm more or less forced to deal with them or (sacre bleu!) leave Sudo to try to get shit done. What I am NOT proposing is making Sudo a sober space. If it comes to that, sure, but as a first measure I think it's heavy handed and doesn't really serve the interests of the community that can have a couple of beers and function equally well as without. I think what I am asking is that we, as a group, need to send the message that Sudo is not the afterparty, and that if it continues to be treated like one that the individuals involved will be asked to leave for the night. I think being somewhat forgiving in this situation is probably not a bad idea...and of course, repeated behavior of this sort will probably be brought up in a meeting (i.e. is having ***** around worth it?) and appropriate action will be taken. Needless to say, Sudo/BAPS events would be more or less exempt since the actual drinking will be taking place here and any situations that arise from said drinking will be dealt with as needed. I would like to hear what everyone has to say about this. -chrisbee

Hi All, Just a reminder that the event is tomorrow and I heard today that they'll be giving out free Amazon cloud credits (maybe up to $1000 a pop). Not 100% certain but it sounds like they might. Come by and pick up some AWS credits for your cloud projects tomorrow :) http://www.meetup.com/Berkeley-Biolabs/events/166519482/?_af_eid=166519482&… R -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 Conf Call: (650) 741 5013 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com http://www.litmususa.com/ http://berkeleybiolabs.com/ www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php
