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 …
[View More]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.

Hey everyone! The Sustainable Economies Law Center (the same place Marc,

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).

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:

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

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. …
[View More]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

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 …
[View More]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:

Thanks so much,
Alex

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 …
[View More]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.

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 …
[View More]successfully
