I got ya'll a table, so just show up with stuff to table with.
i'm not going to be at tonight's meeting but people should talk about
what should go on the table and if you wanted to share it with other
hackerspaces.
http://eastbayanarchist.com/
i have one in storage, it works and i am pretty sure it is available for
the following offer. it is well worth it should vast copies of *some
awesome sudoroomian publication* need duplication. fraction of a penny per
pAge. get in touch; i cannot personally transport it at this time (both
because I haven't the truck and due to physical limitations) but AFAIK it
can be set up *in situ*.
for b&w copies, at least for the first rationally sized run, just add
paper (no i cannot define …
[View More]rationally at the moment; but i can certainly
find out).

CA Senate Bill SB-255 - now §647(j)(4) as of Oct. 1 - is first 'revenge porn' law in the US.
Eric Goldman (awesome Santa Clara Law prof) has an interesting analysis on the legal implications - http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericgoldman/2013/10/08/californias-new-law-show….
If anyone has some technical observations or other feedback, I'd be interested to hear other takes on this. Seems like a very tricky socio-technical problem.

"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-…
[View More]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 …
[View More]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)

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 …
[View More]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.
