Hi, Firstly, I want to get rid of my current desks and non-chairs. Here's what they look like. (They're sized so I can use them while sitting on the floor.) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_jq7klTEotEb2NJLTFLa3BDNnc/edit?usp=shari… I quite like them, but I want something more portable. If you'll use/hack them, you can have them and/or the cushion that I sit on. In case it affects your interest, you can easily take the legs off the desks. Secondarily, I'm going to replace these desks with a lightweight contraption that folds up into a tiny thing that I can carry on my head. In order to construct this new desk, I need to acquire some tempered hardboard, so I'm looking for someone to take me to Home Depot. http://timebank.sfbace.org/reqs/3081 Tom

Help the SELC win $20k!

by Vicky Knox

Hey everyone! The Sustainable Economies Law Center (the same place Marc, Eddan, Timon and I all went to for free legal advice) is an applicant in a competition in which they could win $20k from Sungevity! It's one of those popular vote competitions. If you're interested in voting, please see the details below, including what the SELC will do with that money (bottom-most section). ykciV ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christina Oatfield (Vicky's friend and a legal apprentice at the SELC) Hi friends! The nonprofit that I work for, the Sustainable Economies Law Center<http://www.theselc.org/> is a people-powered organization, sustained by generous and dedicated supporters in the community. I'm writing to ask you to take a minute to help SELC win $20,000 by casting your VOTE<http://www.sungevity.org/gives-back> for us! I know, I know, I think these online voting schemes are really annoying, too, but we think we have a really good chance of winning this one and the publicity doesn't benefit any evil corporation, but rather, a really awesome local solar power company, Sungevity, which we are happy to promote through this campaign (my parents have been happy customers for years). When you vote, please also opt into the secondary step of "boosting" your vote which basically means you add on 10 extra votes. It requires that you provide a physical address. *Four Quick Steps: * - Click VOTE <http://www.sungevity.org/gives-back> ( http://www.sungevity.org/gives-back) - Include your email and zip code - Select* Sustainable Economies Law Center* from the list of organizations and submit your vote! *Don't Forget to BOOST YOUR VOTE BY 10 EXTRA POINTS:* - Anyone: sign up for OurSungevity after you vote--it's *EASY and FREE*! OurSungevity is a online platform that allows you to spread solar in your community through different media (if you choose). You can even earn $500 if you refer Sungevity a new client. - Homeowners: sign up for an iQuote to get solar on your home.[image: Inline image 1] <http://www.sungevity.org/gives-back> Vote on! *What will SELC do with this $20,000?* SELC believes communities shouldn’t BUY power. We should OWN power! We’ll create model policies and legal structures for community-owned renewable energy <http://www.theselc.org/community-renewable-energy/>. This includes viable replicable models, essential legal documents, and model policies for community- and cooperatively-owned renewable energy projects. We have some amazing volunteers and staff putting some extra time into creating this program currently, but we're looking to hire a dedicated attorney to really build up this program. *Who is funding this Competition?* Here at SELC, we're conscious of where we get our funding. Sungevity is an innovative solar company focused on creating the world’s most energized network of customers who power their lives with sunshine. Hugs, Christina

Fwd: This Sat. 6pm: Organizing mtg to stop Oakland's mass surveillance system, NSA protest in SF

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: actionforprogress <actionforprogress(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 10:35 PM Subject: This Sat. 6pm: Organizing mtg to stop Oakland's mass surveillance system, NSA protest in SF To: ad hoc network <actionforprogress(a)gmail.com> Hi all, Please attend an organizing meeting to stop the warrantless surveillance of our communities this Saturday, Nov. 16 at 6pm at the Sudo Room in Oakland at 2141 Broadway at Broadway and 22nd st. The entrance is on 22nd St. Oakland City Council is trying to create a mass Orwellian surveillance center (called the Domain Awareness Center), that would allow police to track all residents and visitors. This center would centralize surveillance camera footage, phone calls, licence plate readings, and social media information for use by local and federal law enforcement. This will most likely lead to drones and facial recognition technology. The Department of Homeland Security is behind this project with a $7 million dollar grant to fund it. In the wake of the Oscar Grant, Trayvon, and Occupy revolts, as well as the continuing push by local elites to gentrify the bay area, such a project is paramount in the suppression of the local population. The ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and even the NY Times all agree that this is an unprecedented attack on our civil liberties. The NY Times basically warned its readers of the larger implications of these systems as they can spread to more cities. Oakland will be the leader in this tactic and it is a shame the city council has already gone forward as much as it has. We are organizing for a community response and rally for this Tuesday at City Hall to SHUT THIS PLAN DOWN! Please attend the organizing meeting this Saturday at 6pm to help us increase our numbers and make an impact. Recently we have seen working class people of color and activists from Oakland fight successfully against the proposed youth curfew. If we bring enough people to City Hall, we can stop this!!!! Thanks for all your good work, -Zaigham P.S. We will also discuss an upcoming protest in SF: Mass March Against the NSA Articles: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/technology/privacy-fears-as-surveillance-… https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/oaklands-creepy-new-surveillance-prog… Attached is a flyer for this Tuesday's Rally at City Hall

Hosting an event at Sudo: How to create a community bank with your friends online Nov 27th 6 PM

by Alex White

Hello Sudo Room! I have been by the Sudo Room a few times now and love the space and really appreciate what a great resource it is. I would like to host an event at the Sudo Room about how to create a community bank online using puddle.com. Puddle is a website where you can create your own autonomous community bank. I met the co-founder of the company and he would like to come do a presentation and Q&A. (I'm just helping him find a space, and thought Sudo would be great.) I've never put together a meeting at Sudo, and am not a member, so I'm not sure what the protocol is, but I think this is very much in line with the philosophy of Sudo and I'd love to do it there. What do I need to do from here? Any help would be much appreciated. Here is an article about the site and what it is doing: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ashoka/2013/08/05/creating-a-line-of-credit-wit… Thanks so much, Alex -- Twitter: Alex_C_White FB: Facebook.com/alexcarlwhite

hoping for more transparency and inclusiveness around all the exciting developments

by Anthony Di Franco

I've been very busy and haven't made the time to come by sudo room for quite a while but I did last night and it was great to see familiar faces again. I'm also looking forward to meeting the people I've only seen on the list so far, and to congratulating people in person on all their hard work in keeping sudo room moving forward! And to being able to participate more in person in the future. I've been feeling out of touch with what's going on, especially after the drafting of the successful grant proposal. I tried searching my list archives to see if I missed anything about organizing this and it seems I didn't. Grant writing is something I want to learn more about and I would have liked to participate in the process and I would have made the time to if I had known about it. I'm still looking forward to Vicky's idea for a grant database and to contributing to that however I can. I have a conflict that prevents me from coming to the Wednesday meetings and my schedule is very tight otherwise, so I've been following the list and looking at the meeting minutes diligently to try to stay engaged. Despite that I've been unable to gather a clear sense of what's going on, and lately (not since early September according to my seach) I haven't seen the minutes appear on the list at all except for last week. I still won't be able to make it this evening, so I hope there will be minutes to read that the whole community is informed of. When I stopped in last night I learned in vague terms that there is an important meeting about securing a new space at the Omni happening on Thursday evening. If this is true, can anyone who is involved in that inform the community via the list about what is going on, and defer a final decision until there's broad consensus? The last I see about it from searching the list is from October 1st. While I appreciate the initiative and effort on the part of people moving this forward, (though I'm not sure who they might be,) I want to make sure that whatever decisions made that affect the whole community are still based on informed, explicit consensus by the whole community, which is fundamental to how sudo room works.

Art Murmur After Party/Proposal/Planning/Properly/Promoter/Perhaps

by Phuckin' Phylean

Greetings Programs, The last party went pretty swimmingly for only being thrown together at the last moment. Just a week to plan ain't much in the nightclub industry but stranger things have happened that were successful but usually only on dumb luck! So, lets do the next one a little bigger, which means a little better planning and promoting equals a lot better partying and probably paying off for all involved in the long run. So, we need a small staff to run this smoothly, safely, and successfully without any risk of the typical trials and tribulations that could possibly become trouble for the venue. Positions (some paid, some volunteer): *Door-person (Outdoor greeter/bouncer) *Door-person (Indoor suggested donation "enforcer") *Bartender (Tips only basis) *Moderator (Communicating to the people/members translating to the event staff) *Promoters (Facebooking/posting/advertising/notifying/informing/flyering) *Security (Walking through casually and occasionally checking in with the front door and bar or bars to keep a general but casual eye on the happy but drinking patrons) *Host/Hostess (Not necessary but nice to have if they enjoy the position) *DJs (Must have their own music, music knowledge, gear, experience, and some following) Please text me back if interested or have any suggestions or commentary because I have no reliable internet access at the moment. (415) 794-7789 Phuckin' Phylean 15 years of promotion and DJing at your service -- The best way to contact me reliably is texting my Cell phone (415) 794-7789 or if it's before 9 pm call the Studio phone (510) 534-7068 Thanks and take care, Phuckin' Phylean Double "P" that is me with "F" that you hear but don't see "The only thing that brings me peace is the same phuckin' thing that won't let me rest, music." says I, Phuckin' Phylean is DJ Jezzebella! djjezzebella(a)yahoo.com djjezzebella(a)gmail.com phuckinphylean(a)gmail.com http://www.myspace.com/phuckinphylean http://www.myspace.com/phuckinphyleanlive http://www.myspace.com/dopesicktight http://www.sfgoth.com/djs/jezzebella/index.html
