"Today I Learned" has leveled up to "Today We Learned"!
We've had a lot of fun at TILs and other events (open hack nights at LOL
makerspace <http://pocmakerspace.org/>!) learning together informally, so
we're trying out a new format for Saturday afternoons - open co-learning
with time available for people to give workshops, present things they're
working on, etc.
>From the wiki <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_We_Learned>:
Hi everyone! We're trying out a new experiment in co-learning.
*two hours of time*
Every Saturday from 2PM to 4PM (but really till whenever) in the common
area of Sudo Room.
*to learn together*
We get to figure out what that means. What's most useful to us? What do we
want to learn? What do we want to share? How do we want to do this?
*with minimal, optional coordination beforehand*
https://pad.riseup.net/p/twl
This pad has the next TWL's date and a bunch of empty space. Share what
you're planning on working on; what you'd like to learn; if you'd like to
sign up to do a workshop, do it here; if you want to give a lightning talk
about some new thing you're working on/learning, post it here (you can even
post a time...like, "I'll be giving a short talk on some new things I've
been working on at 3PM").
We'll fill up the pad throughout the week and we'll clear it out after that
week's session so that we have a nice, fresh sheet for the following week.
You can share the pad with others to invite them to your workshop or to
work on a topic together (for example, you can post that you'll be learning
python <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29>and
then send this to everyone you know to say "hey! i'll be learning
python! if you want to work on python together, come join me!").
come tomorrow for the first one & add what you want to learn/plan to work
on on the pad: https://pad.riseup.net/p/twl!

Subject: [Long Now Members] Manual for Civilization
Long Now Members,
Please help us find the most useful books in the world...
We have begun an effort to populate our upcoming book collection for
the Salon called The Manual for Civilization. This will be the 3500
books you would most want if you had to restart civilization.
So.. If you were stranded on a desert island, what books will YOU
pick? Come on, be honest (and selective).
Behold the ONE TRUE GOOGLE FORM. We have made strides to make it as
easy as possible to make submissions. Our main identifier is an
Amazon URL which will later be parsed by a massive child labor force
in a secret underground bunker into things like ISBN and book size
etc.
But right now we are trying to grow the list as broad as possible with
amazing selections. Dont get too hung up on details or categories,
just make good submissions. There will be a later vetting process
that will be more fun that playing "Hot or Not" in 01998.
Ready, set, go..! (dont forget to bookmark this page so you can come
back to it as you think of more books later)

Join us as we scoff together over coffee and speak on a wide range of
superfluous topics, including but not limited to:
<<Government benefits we qualify for given our current situations
<<How we make use of our time in a meaningful way
<<“Third Economy”: Bartering/free exchange, gifting, sharing,
bottom-feeding,…
<<…and *whatever else you want to bring to the table*!
This is a time to relax, speak our minds, and enjoy each other’s company!
COFFEE AND TEA WILL BE SERVED!!! Bring a snack if you’d like. :]

Dear friends from other organizations,
We just wanted to give you a brief update on what we've been doing,
hopefully you can pass it along to your respective organizations. The
resolution project is in slow motion, as is the shareholder proposal
project. There is a Rally Against Mass Surveillance in DC on October 26th,
and we are raising money to send Bay Area residents to the rally by train,
https://www.wepay.com/donations/restore-the-fourth-sf-bay-area-1026-rally-f…
Our checking account is with the Internet Archive's credit union, which we
think is really cool!
We're not able to give a location for the local 10/26 activities just yet,
but we know it will be from 9 am to 12 pm.
Two other upcoming privacy events: Sudoroom's monthly cryptoparty is on Oct
20th
https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/cryptoparty-a-digital-security-privacy-wor…
we will be presenting at the Aaron Swartz Hackathon Nov 8-10.

there are only four of us here, for the weekly meeting.
we had an initial vote on whether or not we should have a minimum of 10 people in order to make an official meeting; and that we call it a sudo-minyan.
the result of the vote was 2 votes yes, 2 abstentions.

Is Sudo Room planning a booth a East Bay Mini Maker Faire, weekend after
next? If so - any idea where you'll be located?
The EBMMF is much smaller, more intimate, and has much more of a community
feel than the giant San Mateo Maker Faire. Typically lots more families as
well. Different atmosphere, but just as much creative fun - strongly
recommended!
We'll have a booth for Counter Culture Labs (I did a booth for BioCurious
the past two years). Use code CCLAB for a 15% discount off you ticket. Last
year, we were in the same room as Ace Monster Toys, Tekla Labs, and Hacker
Moms - great neighbors!
