Hi Sodoers!
“Hacktivism is a form of political activism, also referred to as being part
of cyberactivism. It is a hybrid expression linking both hacking and
activism, whereby hacktivists make use of the internet ... Political hackers
are thereby trying to achieve a certain political and societal change,
shift, statement, or behaviour by using technical mechanisms against e.g.,
political parties, governments, organisations, etc. by using this technological
tools."
There is a young lady named Leonie who lives in Belfast and is working on
her Master's Thesis at Queen's University there who would like to talk to
some hacktivists to help her understand what hacktivists are, what we do,
and how we see ourselves versus how people outside our group see us. This
is good research IMO because it helps break down the images of "hacktivism"
as being about destruction of websites and DDoS attacks -- concepts that
were part of her initial working definition of "hacktivist" when she
applied for her human subjects permit a year ago.
When I think of "Hacktivism" I think of many people, but I ESPECIALLY think
of sudoroom. You guys are super activists in all the ways that I hold dear,
so I hope that some of you will reach out to Leonie and take part in her
research.
You can reach her at Leonie Tanczer <ltanczer01(a)qub.ac.uk>. If you wish to
send her encrypted email, her public key is posted on
http://pgp.mit.eduand the fingerprint that I have for her in my own
keychain is

PS I miss you guys!

The NSA has obtained an FISC order to have Verizon turn over phone data records on all customers until July 19th.
Here's the court order:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jun/06/verizon-telephone-d…
The gist of it from EFF Deeplinks post (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/confirmed-nsa-spying-millions-america…)
In a report by Glenn Greenwald, the paper published an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (or FISC) that directs Verizon to provide “on an ongoing daily basis” all call records for any call “wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls” and any call made “between the United States and abroad.”
In plain language: the order gave the NSA a record of everyVerizon customer’s call history -- every call made, the location of the phone, the time of the call, the duration of the call, and other “identifying information” for the phone and call -- from April 25, 2013 (the date the order was issued) to July 19, 2013. The order does not require content or the name of any subscriber and is issued under 50 USC sec.1861, also known as section 215 of the Patriot Act.
Hi everyone,
Trying another refinement of the agenda that is hopefully clearer than last
time (for those who were there last time, there was confusion about
discussion vs action items, so I've separated it out a bit. I've also
brought forward items from last week, so if they are resolved, let's delete
them. Please feel edit, remove, and add things!).
Agenda is here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting
I am not at the space right now, so can't coordinate dinner, but there
should be dinner stuffs in the fridge!

Hey all, Curly here.
I remember there being a brief discussion around outreach scripts and
things some weeks back, but dunno where it went. I want to re-open the
topic.
With logo work coming to a close (see presentation today, and vote!) I am
ready to start working on an outreach piece again. Specifically, I want to
compose something that speaks to the big vision for the group, and
hopefully even think of how to storyboard that in print or film media. I
don't think we can ever talk about our mission too much, since it's such an
exquisite thing.
I got inspired by this short film <http://vimeo.com/66839079> about a
Detroit hackerspace. It's not a crowdfunding thing, but it could be. Most
importantly, it brushes the dust off our image of Detroit's greatness, and
reconnects its precarious future to its mighty emergence as a city of
makers.
I think we can do this as well for Oakland, especially with a good camera...
substack had suggested we have a demo night, in the european tradition. an
informal show-and-tell. do tell! let's share what we've all been up to, and
drink the most recent (and best yet!)
subiir<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Subiir>(actually on v.5.0)!
for anyone who'd like to demo, please shoot me an email and we can all meet
up, potluck and plan from 6-6:30
*Friday the 7th, 7-10pm*
*There will be projector
*There will be pews
*Informal and super-high [low]pressure to [high]fun ratio
**Get good shut-eye for the rad “*Today I Learned: Infographics: Convince
with Pictures*<https://sudoroom.org/sat-june-8th-today-i-learned-infographics-convince-wit…>”
workshop on Saturday at 2pm!
Hack the planet!

Greetings folks,
If you have not had a chance to see PLACE for Sustainable Living, you
should consider coming on out this Saturday to support Oakland's very own
collectively managed center for teaching urban sustainability. We look
forward to sharing a meal with you in the future, but for now you can enjoy
some cob oven pizza and some great bluegrass music.
In community,
Jonathan

Beauty Operators
San Francisco string band playing bluegrass, alt-grass, punk-grass,
cry-in-your-beer-grass & the occasional 80s cover. Laid-back & fun with a
front-porch kind of sound. High-lonesome harmonies mixed with original
musings about modern life in San Francisco.

Joshua Lowe and the Juncos
Moving from traditional bluegrass into the world of “acoustic” music, The
Juncos originally began as a duo with Josh Stacy (cello, guitar, and voice)
swapping the singing and songwriting duties back and forth with Lowe. As
time passed Stacy went his own way, focusing more on looping and
experimental cello radness, while Lowe stayed true to the acoustic roots
music feel. Over the years, “the flock” as Joshua calls it, has matured
into a well-seasoned and amazingly talented group of musicians (see below).
Regardless of the lineup on any given night, Joshua Lowe and The Juncos’
sound is steeped in American roots music.

Hey everyone,
Doing some art, and I need models. Would be a lot of fun. I would also
provide some food.
I know some people pay models for this kind of work, but this isn't
something I want to sell... It's just an experiment.
Let me know if you're interested.

Rusty

I cleaned out several cubbies, print a label from http://track.space.local when you're in the space and use one.

Subject: [sudo-discuss] Lockers: question: how many & how big?
Date: Tue, Jun 4, 2013 8:06 AM
Bolt cutters can bypass most pad locks. Schools keep them around for this reason. Security is part technical and part human. Really they don't even entirely need locks (like the member shelves at Noisebridge) locks just make it obvious that the stuff is off limits.
As far as where to put them. Maybe clear out under the enlarger, or clear out the stuff along the wall opposite the shelves in the closet. there are a few abandoned projects, and big, unusable items that we could get rid off.
