Peer Garden social, next Wednesday 9/25

by Jenny Ryan

Yo Sudo! Interested in peer-to-peer applications, mesh networking, decentralized and distributed tech? Open Garden is starting a series of social events in the interest of sparking great conversations, sharing ideas and projects, and co-learning. Also beer. The first one is next Wednesday at Biergarten: http://www.meetup.com/Tech-Garden-SF/events/139596332/ I won't be there for this one as I'm off to Berlin for a few weeks, but it would be great to have some Sudoers representing!

Proposal: 5MOF Symposium; Protocols vs. Platforms

by Dan Cote

I am thinking of having a 5MOF event where we all talk about a single topic. This topic is near and dear to many of us. Protocol stacks like email have served us well since the beginning of the internet. Email continues to be the "lowest common denominator." It's the communication tool that everyone disagrees with the least. Protocols allow people, computers, companies, and other entities to communicate in a prescribed manner. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google's many offerings, and many others offer deeply customized computing experiences for specific tasks. A company or group of companies acquire talent and spend time dialing in these tools. Day One: 5MOF at Noisebridge Day Two: Lightning Talks at Hacker Dojo Day Three: Your Bay Area Hackerspace Day Four: Final Showdown venue tba The hackerspace days would have a social atmosphere, like dev house. There would be opportunities for serendipitous encounters. The best speakers will be invited to speak again at the Final Showdown, which is of course, serious business. It is my not-so-secret nefarious goal that people who have been working on platforms can learn from the protocol people and vice versa. If you are interested in organizing this, send a message to 5mof-symposium(a)lists.noisebridge.net, or join the list<https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/5mof-symposium> .

secure/activist hosting?

by David Keenan

Recommendations for a reputable host / colo for the forthcoming Bay Area Public School site reboot? Ideally a host with ethics that align with a place like Riseup, but is on the west coast, preferably the Bay Area.. unless that is some kind of crazy dream? Do we / sudo have the upstream bandwidth to host simple sites (basic WP) from 2141? I can set it all up.. Where does SUDO host our main site, wiki etc? Sorry if these are noob-y questions - any guidance appreciated - thx! David

Re: [sudo-discuss] report from two (2!) women-oriented hacker events tonight

by Max Klein

Hi Marina, Thank you for the insightful report. I am looking forwards to hearing more of the lessons that you allude to about how we can make sudo more woman-friendly. I want to offer any support I can to your new chapter of woman who code. also I invite you to talk more about your experiences at the next meeting if you feel like any recommendations can be made to sudoers from these experiences. m > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Andrew <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com> > To: Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com> > Cc: "sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> > Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 00:19:07 -0700 > Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] report from two (2!) women-oriented hacker > events tonight > > Shag carpet in the sex closet...

report from two (2!) women-oriented hacker events tonight

by Marina Kukso

hi all, a bunch of us went to the totally excellent and huge (50+ people) double union <http://doubleunion.org> launch event which had a bunch of really great short talks on all kinds of topics (technical projects, a women's google glass hacking group, history of textiles, singing in navi - which is apparently an inclusive language, experiences from using the internet with a male-gendered handle, comics, and stand-up). it left me personally totally inspired to have open short short talks at sudo (less pressure than 5 minutes of fame) and totally amazed by the density of hacker women in our area. we are not doing a good enough job getting women at sudo room, but we have a great new partner in double union. afterwards a few of us went to a women who code<http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-SF/>open hack night at the new relic office (more on that below). they had pizza (boo) but also salad (yay). there were at least 30 women here, all at various levels of experience. there was a lot of app talk and a lot of interest in working for companies. a number of women shared their experiences of getting work at corporations, getting mentorship in order to move up in corporations, and forcing their organizations to take gender inclusion seriously. while i applaud the accomplishments of all women who find work in an exclusive field and also applaud the formation of alternate professional networks, i am very sad that we have to applaud and cheer whenever a single women gets a leg up, or support, or a job, or successfully leverages another woman in her network to help her find work. it was also interesting to observe in myself the effects of efforts at inclusion - when women would say that their attempts to bring attention to the lack of women at their company were well-received, or when they talked about how a boss was supportive of their professional development, i could see myself giving little ++'s to their organization. sharing with other people the ways that communities demonstrate their commitment to inclusion is a key part of getting more people in the door. this is why i think that it's really important to share what we do at sudo and the ways we pay attention to and act on our mission of inclusion. finally, jordan and i chatted with the women who code people about their organization. it's all volunteer-run, they have no budget. they have meetups three times a week now (algorithms study group<http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-SF/events/132650642/>!). they meet at different companies who give them space for free and agree to cater (apparently organizing this is not as much work as it would seem..they said they now have a pipeline and enough industry connections to make this easy). they rarely meet at hackerspaces because of the lack of ability to sponsor food. we talked to them about starting an east bay chapter at sudo focused on linux/open source projects/?? and they were super supportive. they said that this would meet a need that they saw in their community: from their experience, many women were able to reach "intermediate" levels of experience through their groups, but hit snags when starting to develop projects of their own and joining open source communities. their people needed support learning how to navigate open source communities and knowing where and how to start. we'll see what comes of this. finally, the new relic office is so fancy! which brings us to.... *The New Relic Office is so Fancy: A Photoessay* this is their fireplace-oriented lounging area: [image: Inline image 1] this is another lounging area with the view of the led side of the bay bridge: [image: Inline image 2] this is the tiny room whose purpose can only be sex (what other purpose could it possibly serve??? it has a sweet chaise lounge!): [image: Inline image 3] and here they are, the women who code!!! yayy!!!!! [image: Inline image 4] we invited some of the women to sudo room and they were down, so hopefully they will come. yay!
