for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up somewhere.
Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because …
[View More]of his background in real estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms.

Dear Sudo folk.
For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com.
I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email.
And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long.

Subject: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!
To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org>
We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next
steps for Double Union!
Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at:
…
[View More]http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/
The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good
processes to manage the space, building access, and so on!
Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage
and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We
are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an
email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in
a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very
soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their
keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once
someone other than me has keys.
Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to
do that until there is more "there" there to talk about.
Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist,
Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing!

you make a big fuss about moving and you veto any solution where we
have to deal with the landlord. and then when we follow your
leadership, you double back.

Hell Holy Kopimists and Sudoers,
A group of self-organized students from UC Berkeley want to Visit Sudo Room
on October 14th 5pm to take theory into praxis. Their student-run class is
"Politics of Digital Piracy" .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B…
They are asking if someone would like to take point on peer-teaching one of
the following topics to the insatiable and impressionable minds of the
hackcers-to-be.
As far as volunteers go, I think if …
[View More]would be cool if someone:

Please reply all so that our organizer Angelica can be part of the
conversation or reply to her directly.
Gratutiously yours,

Great.
So here is a link to the class wiki page (yes, we're still using your
implementation of the WMF Education Program).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B…
The topics we have covered so far are copyright law, privacy and
surveillance, hack culture, and are moving on to peer to peer networks this
week.
The week of Oct 14 (the proposed evening), we will just be presenting
midterm projects, so I think the learning objective of our trip to sudoroom
could be related to any of our covered topics so far.
As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone:
a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain
a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect.
b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been students
that have expressed interest in using Tor.
c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things sudoroom does.
Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also, bringing a
group from the Open Computing Facility as well.
