City and Port of Oakland file Temporary Restraining Order Against Port Truckers

by Jeremy Entwistle

"In an effort to stop a forthcoming labor action at the port by independent truckers, the City and Port of Oakland filed temporary restraining orders against two named drivers and 2,000 unnamed John Does." https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/10/20/18745132.php Does that mean if there's more than 2000 people that they're allowed to be there? Only the first 2000 people are restricted... after that, it's fine. :P https://www.facebook.com/events/536144669809976 -- https://twitter.com/jwentwistle

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I encouraged Louise to stop by tomorrow. If this piques your interest, please contact her. // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Louise Bloom <louise.bloom(a)qeh.ox.ac.uk> Date: Sat, Oct 19, 2013 at 3:50 PM Subject: [!SUDO-INFO!] Pop in visit Sun 20th? To: "info(a)sudoroom.org" <info(a)sudoroom.org> Hi Sudo Room, I am researcher from the University of Oxford working on the Humanitarian Innovation Project. I am in SF for a week learning what I can on how innovation and community spaces here in SF work and support the skills and innovation of the local community. I am taking this learning back for reflection in the humanitarian world and our work on conceptualising an innovation centre for refguees in Uganda. I am going to be in Oakland for the East Bay Mini Maker Faire tomorrow and wondered if it would be possible for me to pop in to say hi and see what you're up at some point during the day (perhaps before or after the faire). I noticed you do have some events running tomorrow, but do you stay open past 5pm? Thanks Louise Louise Bloom Research officer Humanitarian Innovation Project www.oxhip.org _______________________________________________ Info mailing list Info(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/info

Tentative: Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation documentary screening Sat @ 7pm?

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, First: is anyone in contact with folks at The New Parkway Theater? This group, Existence is Resistance, is trying to put on a screening of a documentary in Oakland about hip-hop artists who travel to Palestine to teach and learn. They're reaching out to The New Parkway, but as a fallback, I've offered the common space at 2141. I checked the public school and sudo calendars, I did not see any reservations for 7pm-10pm Saturday night, please correct me otherwise. https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/tentative-hip-hop-is-bigger-than-the-occup… I assume The Public School will want to support this as well. ++++ View Trailer: http://youtu.be/PGvP0OREI2E Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation is a documentary about a ten day journey of artists traveling through Palestine, teaching and performing nonviolent resistance through the arts. The tour included M1 of Dead Prez, Shadia Mansour, Marcel Cartier, Mazzi of Soul Purpose, DJ Vega Benetton, Lowkey, Jody McIntyre and Trinidad, Brandon and Lavie from the South West Youth Collaborative/University of Hip Hop Chicago. Staying in the heart of Balata Refugee Camp at the Yafa Cultural Center in Nablus the group witnesses night raids, toured places like Hebron where there are roads for the Arabs and roads for the Jews, they meet families of shaheeds as well as young Palestinians who have been jailed, shot and humiliated. The group visits Bi’lin where they get shot at and tear gassed and experience first hand what it felt like living under occupation. ++++ // Matt

Tabling at the 2nd Annual East Bay Anarchist Book Fair

by Gregg Horton

Greetings, This is your informational email for tabling at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair. It will tell you most of what you need to know to get through Saturday. Volunteers and organizers will be milling around to help all day long, and are identifiable by their name tags. If you need anything please flag one of them down and we will do what we can for you. First up. There was some confusion about this last year, so we want to clarify the issue this year. There are no free tables at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair. We have chosen to adopt the percentage model, as used at The Montreal Anarchist Book Fair successfully for almost 15 years. We will not ask for payment in advance. We will come around late in the day on Saturday and ask to collect 10% of your sales. If you are an organization that does not sell anything or asks for donations or does sales under $200, then we require a minimum of $20. So please be prepared. We will come around about 4:30 or so to remind people and then check back in with each table around 5:30. If you are not tabling but receiving this email please tell those who will be tabling. Last year a few organizations did not pay stating they "did not know" payment was required. That response will not be acceptable this year. Anyone who does not pay this year will not be eligible to table next year. And we will grimace at you. A lot. The other thing to give you a heads up about is that we are encouraging Halloween costumes and would like to give out prizes for the best costumes. We are going to come around and ask people if they would like to donate something to the prize vault. Perhaps you will have an item or two that you would be happy to give! On to the logistics of the day. The book fair opens to the public at 10am, doors open for you at 8:30am. There are 27 tables, and we are at capacity. Selection is first come first serve. There is a great deal of wall space and outlets at regular intervals along the two long walls. You should bring your own power strips/extension cords if you anticipate needing power. There is wi-fi in the hall. We will have the area in front of the hall on 27th Street blocked off, for unloading and free hands to help you carry your wares. There is free parking on both sides of 27th Street. However, technically there is a two hour limit, Humanist hall says the city generally does not enforce this. We will have volunteers check periodically during the day to see if cars are being marked. There is a small parking lot behind the Hall on 28th Street, that will hold roughly a dozen cars, where it is safe to park all day. The helpers outside can direct you to this lot and it will be marked so you can't miss it. Again, parking here will be first come first serve. Each tabler gets a standard-six-foot-book-fair-table and two chairs. We can provide additional chairs upon request. We will do what we can to make the day as comfortable and as enjoyable for you as possible. There will be volunteers on hand to watch your table if you need a break or want to spend time enjoying the event. There will be coffee available on a limited basis to tablers and conversation holders until early afternoon. In terms of food, there are several small neighborhood places, and a Whole Foods about a third of a mile east on 27th Street. About a mile south on Broadway is downtown Oakland and Chinatown and about a mile northeast is a small business district on Piedmont Avenue. Each of these areas has quite a number of restaurants. More information about this will be available on Saturday at the info table. Tabling is scheduled to go until 6pm. Again there will be volunteers available to help carry and load you back to your vehicle if you require it. After tabling is over there will be karaoke and everyone is encouraged to attend. The complete schedule for the day can be found online at http://eastbayanarchist.com/conversations/ The complete list of tablers can be found at http://eastbayanarchist.com/tablers/ . Please check your listing and see that it is to your liking. Words, phrasing, link etc. For announcements, updates, and information on all the other events happening over the weekend visit https://www.facebook.com/events/227860837363480/?fref=ts If you have any questions or concerns please contact us and we will respond as quickly as possible. Thanks so much for participating, see you Saturday, October 26! On behalf of the EBAB planners, -ariel

Articles of Incorporation

by Marc Juul

Hi everysudoer For those of you who don't already know, sudo room is aiming to incorporate as a california non-profit, with the long-term goal of reaching 501(c)3 status. For now, we're working out Articles of Incorporation. These are based mostly on Noisebridge's Articles of Incorporation: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation In reading this, it may surprise people to see all of this talk of a board of directors and hierarchical structures. Most, if not all of this is required by law ( this law: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=corp ) and we can safely ignore it in the day to day running of our hackerspace. Instead of trying to explain, I will quote Mitch Altman responding to the question "What is the management structure [of Noisebridge] like?": "There isn't any. The official line is that we're an anarchist collective but the reality is that it's more of a web of trust model, with the usual elements of feudalism that crystallize out of any anarchic group. There's a board that appoints officers who technically have executive authority with regards to the space, but the reality is that if any of them actually exercised power they'd get thrown out. For certain things, like insurance, taxes, and our nonprofit filings, they have duties but those are invisible to the day-to-day operations." So, the important thing to remember is that these Articles of Incorporation allow the members to throw out any director who abuses their power. We will then go on to define how our day to day space is run outside of the articles of incorporation (e.g. in our bylaws). The power of a majority of the members to remove directors is defined in 7.6.c.2: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation#c._Removal_of_Directors If we want to tweak the Noisebridge articles of incorporation at all, I believe that the following are most in need of editing: * Article 3 - This is about our purpose and values. We can and should more or less freely change 3.1 and 3.2, but 3.3 should remain unchanged. * Article 6.1 - A member is proposed for membership by one existing member. Do we want to change this to two? * The Articles talk about how the board can fix fees for the members to pay, but we are almost certainly interested in letting members pay for their membership with work, by putting in time instead of money. I don't think we can put this into our articles of incorporation for two reasons: 1. The California Corporations code specifically says that the board may levy dues, but says nothing about levy'ing anything in place of dues: "5351. A corporation may levy dues, assessments or fees upon its members pursuant to its articles or bylaws, but a member upon learning of them may avoid liability for them by promptly resigning from membership, except where the member is, by contract or otherwise, liable for them. Article or bylaw provisions authorizing such dues, assessments or fees do not, of themselves, create such liability." http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=corp&group=05001-0600… 2. I'm worried that we may count as an employer if we give out membership in return for work, which may subject us to a whole set of other laws. However, I am not a lawyer. Keep it mind that "membership" for the purposes of the articles of incorporation only refers to the right to vote on things related to the board and articles of incorporation. So we could fix this by simply defining additional membership in our bylaws that define the more important things, such as being part of decision-making at our weekly meetings and 24/7 access to the space, and defining a membership fee in the bylaws that can be substituted by putting in work. We then simply have the directors set an official membership fee of 0. The only weirdness with this solution: It would be easier to become a member in the eyes of the articles of incorporation (requiring only trust of another member) than it would be to become a member in the eyes of the bylaws. -- Marc/Juul
