hi everyone, a refill of checks that was supposed to be delivered from the bank never arrived and when jenny went to find out what to do, the bank people said that it was a high security risk to have checks floating around in the world tied to our existing account. unfortunately their solution to this problem is not very elegant. their official policy is that when this kind of thing happens that they open a new account with a new account number to avoid any possibility of someone using the … [View More]

Incident Saturday

by Yardena Cohen

Sorry for being slow in documenting this, but the community deserves to know that this happened. Sometime on Friday night, the men's bathroom was vandalized. I feel confident that it was an art-murmur walk-in, but there is no way to know for sure. They spread human feces along the walls creating what appeared to be two swastika shapes - not entirely faithful renditions but enough to reasonably perceive swastikas in them. I learned of this when I came to set up my TIL Saturday around noon. Our … [View More]landlord George showed it to me. He was understandably upset, both about having to clean up the mess and also about the symbolism. His father is Jewish. He wondered if he had been targeted. I also was not happy, as a queer Jew with many family members in Yad Vashem. Unfortunately, this caused him to descend into another tirade in which nobody was spared. He assumed right away it was done by a Sudoroom member. There was a clear path of association that went: Sudoroom -> anarchists -> Nazis. At one point he even suggested that a kid from Sudo Kids had "come back to finish the job". But mostly he accused Sudo members. Since I was representing Sudoroom in this conversation, he ended up addressing me over and over as if I was personally responsible for this swastika, as if I had done it myself. I actually found this to be the most traumatic part of the whole event. Not even offensive, just downright traumatic. There was the usual fare of yelling about money and society and his inability to find good tenants. He twice informed me that he was evicting both Sudoroom and the Public School and that Laurie would prepare a 30 days notice. He's said that before. He told me that Sudoroom and Public School should close their doors for the rest of the day, because "If I see any of them, I will beat them up!" I told him I'm sorry, but I have a Linux class scheduled for 2:00, please don't beat them up. That calmed him down a little. In short, the rant was a mix of old and new. Except this time Laurie was there. Laurie is our other landlord - she is George's wife and they own the building equally. The way he talked to her during this rant was very revealing, because she also became a target. He yelled at her for not having a 30-days notice already prepared, for having written the craigslist ads that attracted Sudoroom and Public School (and, incidentally, many of his other tenants). He said quite hurtful things to her, including that she was nothing but a drain on his life and that he wanted a divorce from her. She just stood there quietly saying nothing, holding their dog on a leash, looking at me with eyes that said "I'm sorry you have to see this." After a while, when George left the room, she apologized to me. She said "please don't listen to anything he said, he just gets that way when his buttons are pushed." They ended up not leaving for a couple hours. Initially George refused to clean the bathroom or let anybody else clean it because he wanted to show evidence to the cops, who he believed would show up to investigate. It took a chorus of Laurie and several of his other tenants to convince him that OPD doesn't show up for things like this, the cops aren't coming, the bathroom smells, please let's just clean it up. Eventually he lost steam and they left. I'm not really sure how to wrap up this email. Writing it was difficult. You will have to draw your own conclusions. [View Less]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Pinnacle of cultural diversity

by Max Klein

Amber, Thanks for sharing the Video "The Origin of the phrase 'women of colour'"[1]. I have often felt uneasy about using or even listening to the phare because I don't like subscribing to the "colour theory" of race, and try to stop using colour descriptors for people. However it's good to know the purpose behind the designation which I support quite a lot. Thanks for sharing, Max [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vl34mi4Iw&feature=youtu.be From: amber yada <amberyadaanimation(… [View More]

defining our membership: notes, next steps, and what's at stake

by Marina Kukso

hi all, we've been trying to figure out who is a member and how we determine membership for a long time. we have not yet come up with a resolution. although we keep (miraculously) making the rent, we are severely constrained in our ability to expand (expand our space, become a nonprofit, etc.) by not having good answers to key questions like "who is a member," "how do people become new members," and "how do people continue to be members." we have explored a lot of ideas but no proposal has had … [View More]

Disaster Recovery SDR-based mesh

by Marc Juul

Hi! Some of us at sudo room / east bay mesh are working on a low bandwidth disaster recovery mesh project based on software defined radios. We're prototyping with a combination of USRP1 and RTL-SDR devices and GNU Radio. We're having some issues getting the receivers to demodulate our data streams (using DQPSK and QAM modulation). Does anyone have experience with such matters and if so, would you sit down with us and help debug our setup (or even join the project)? Willing to meet at … [View More]
