Hey all, Thanks to Mackenzie and her housemate, sudo room has a new trailer, already tagged and ready to roll. The hitch attaches to your rear triangle, near the rear wheel dropout, should fit on most bikes, even with some crud in the way. Please bring it back, don't leave it out or at your house, it's an invaluable resource for everyone to share. // Matt

media / outreach contacts?

by David Keenan

Im trying get ahold of existing media / political group contact lists to build Oakland Privacy Working Group's for our outreach purposes. Does sudo have, or know anyone sympathetic who has, such a list? Ie, mainstream and alternative print, tv, radio contacts, as well as at unions, leagues, or other political groups like democratic committes/clubs, etc? Such a lost could help sudo and baps' outreach as well - Sort of a compressed timeframe, so any help is hugely appreciated. Best, David

help: anti-DAC resources?

by David Keenan

Hey guys, a friend of mine who works for the city of Oakland and is meeting with the ACLU on DAC stuff (to fix this nightnare) has asked me for - a coherent, semi-formal argument against the DAC. - Language against specific aspects of the DAC like the shot spotters, facial recognition, etc. What they will be used for vs what they say they will be used for, etc. What resources do we have on hand that I can forward or write up for them? Thanks! David

Poem instead of attendance at tonight's meeting.

by Max Klein

Last week tunabanas and I went to represent sudo at Southern Exposure's grantees ceremony. (We hacked the acceptance speech, and showed artists they are probably hackers too.) It got me thinking, and I wrote this poem for sudo. After and before, all the silenced outcasts leave their trace, I myself learn electronics and genetics at sudo hackerspace. Well not quite, but then intentions are there An eager post-work brain doing what it can to care. And the movement's building, more people join us to rock-it, The latest anacho-syndicalists with a California nonprofit. When only a year ago we were crash test dummies, 2 grants in a row makes us flush with ca$h monies. -notconfusing

about to strike it outta the calendar >> Art making party (post art murmur) february 7

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I just had ankle surgery so I'm not sure if I can help organize the upcoming post Art Murmur Artmaking party. *I'm about to strike it out of the calendar... * *Is anyone interested in running the event on February 7 still? * Organizing it isn't a big problem, and there are still leftover art supplies (probably in the radio room) from the last event. - At the last event the work I had to do to get it going was minimal. - People just sort of showed up with their own supplies as well, it was very collaborative. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ArtMakingParty#February_2014 *February 7, 2014* https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/art-making-party/?instance_id=78850 *SudoRoom Art Making Party* *As the Oakland Art Mrumur ends, artmaking werewolves converge on the SudoRoom hackerspace to jam to music, make art, and collaborate in all sorts of crazy werewolf ways.* *If you are an artist, performer, genius of ways to set up collaborative artmaking stations, or have films and videos to show, contact us! We’d like to see your stuff.* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
