San Leandro Meet the CIO event report-back

by Eddan Katz

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 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. > From: "DAcosta" <DAcosta(a)sanleandro.org> > Subject: Summary of this morning's conference call for Meet the CIO event / Sept. 19th > Date: September 12, 2013 4:20:48 PM PDT > To: <mail(a)joelpool.net>, <erin(a)nextspace.us>, <eddan(a)eddan.com>, <eric(a)hackerlab.org> > Cc: <gina(a)hackerlab.org>, <michaelcarilli(a)aol.com> > > Team! > > Thanks again for everyone’s participation this morning. > > 1.

website & email hosting

by Eddan Katz

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. -Eddan

Fwd: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!

by Marina Kukso

news from double union, the new feminist hackerspace in sf. yay! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 2:15 PM 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: 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! https://www.librarything.com/profile/doubleunion Cheers, Liz YOUR FEMINIST HACKER SECRETARY -- Liz Henry lizhenry(a)gmail.com "Electric ladies will you sleep or will you preach?" -- Janelle Monae "Without models, it's hard to work; without a context, difficult to evaluate; without peers, nearly impossible to speak." -- Joanna Russ _______________________________________________ Doubleunion mailing list Doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org http://lists.doubleunion.org/listinfo.cgi/doubleunion-doubleunion.org

UC Berkeley Student plan field trip to Sudo Room, ask for hackers to give them 'real' education

by Max Klein

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 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. > Please reply all so that our organizer Angelica can be part of the conversation or reply to her directly. Gratutiously yours, Max ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Angelica Tavella <angelicatavella(a)gmail.com> Date: 30 September 2013 08:32 Subject: Re: September updates To: Max Klein <isalix(a)gmail.com> Cc: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> 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. -Ang
