Hi everyone,
Join us tomorrow (10/5) at 2PM at Sudo Room for *Today I Learned: Follow
the Money*!
We'll be covering economics and the growth and control of money in today's
society. Topics covered will include the effect of taxation on economic
growth, the flow of money control via commercial banks, insurance
companies, and other financial intermediaries. Finally we will cover how
the flow of global money affects our federal, state and local economies.
More on the event.
*This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free
workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative
community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule
at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*

Hi Sudo folk.
I wanted to both advertise and solicit help with a project I've been
working on called Network of Trust (http://networkoftrust.net/).
The idea is that the best way to choose who to hire for different
services is based on recommendations and advice from your friends and
family.
Speaking of which, this is a project I've been working on with my dad.
Who has been known to lurk on this list. Since I've never had the
opportunity to introduce my dad, I'm going to try and use as much
Internet jargon as I can for him to look up. Please bear with me. My
father, Michael, is a true geek at heart. He went to the Technion
Institute in Haifa, Israel to study engineering "back in the olden
days" as his grand-daughter likes to say. He later got his business
degree at NYU and worked at a company called Celesco, which made
transducers, for most of his career. He retired sometime about last
year - and Network of Trust is one of things he spends his time on.
He's kind of like Robert de Niro from Meet the Parents.
So I think what we need the most help with is some eyeballs on how the
back-end is put together, since the guy who did it is working on other
things now.
Also, as always, need people to sign up and to use it. Comments and
suggestions would be very much appreciated.
OK, dad, don't be shy. These are nice people. Mostly.

Hi all,
Upcoming event on connecting youth of color in Oakland with technical
skills: https://youthtechoak.eventbrite.com/
Looks like a good opportunity to meet some of the people who are working in
this area, learn more about their work, and talk about the areas where our
groups can play a role.
The standard ticket is $10, but there's aslo a sliding scale option that
lets you pay what you can.
