Thanks Marina, I wandered by today and talked to a
few folks. It does
seem like I chose a bad day to give up peyote enemas, there is even an
extra event scheduled. I was told we could roll by and nose around, since
I'd already announced the meeting. There is another group that has a room
adjoining the common area, but it wasn't clear if it was going to be
filled, as well (there was only one person there today, I have a crummy
memory, it is the room across from the entrance and a little to the left).
But if it looks too full and that we'll be under foot too much I think we
can just hoof it over to Farley's and I'll buy all attendees a round or two
to make up for my poor planning.
I did see the oaklandwiki entry, and it is excellent, I even linked
directly to it whenever I mentioned DAC on Occupy Oakland blurbs.
I might stroll by the membership meeting tomorrow just to say hello and
introduce myself.
Deep shimmering pools of respect,
Ed

hi ed,
i think that this thursday will be a busy night at sudo room (a number of
groups will be meeting and there will be an open knowledge foundation
meetup), but your group is welcome to either come check it out on thursday
(even though we won't be able to guarantee space for all of you to meet),
or check out our calendar for a better night:
PS - not sure if you've seen yet, but you are welcome to add good
information about the DAC to the oakland wiki entry about it:

best,

Hey folks, I'm new on this list, I first
visited the sudoroom a month ago
or so at the last Cryptoparty and became a member that evening. Some of you
may have seen me around, I am a tremendously obese older bloke who
generally sports stained suspenders. I have been working with Occupy
Oakland for some time and I'm on their web committee, where I've worked
with Bill B. & Will H. and perhaps some of the rest of you.
Anywho, as you may know last Tuesday the Oakland City Council tried to
slip authorization to spend another $2 million bucks on to the supposedly
non-controversial consent calender, but a number of us got wind of it and
showed up to harangue them so the council set the meeting for next Tuesday,
July 30th at 6:30 or so.

http://occupyoakland.org/2013/07/stop-the-oakland-dac-surveillance-city-spe…
We are encouraging folks to sign speaker cards and speak out against
funding this further movement towards a surveillance state, if you look at
the second article towards the bottom you can see basic instructions about
how to fill out a speaker card so you can tell the council what you think
of tying all the cameras, license plate readers, and other sensors from the
city, private security, the OUSD, BART, CalTrans, etc. together to keep an
eye on the citizenry.
Occupy Oakland discussed also having a rally in front of City Hall,
perhaps at 5PM before the council meeting to make a bit of noise.
We'd like to have a meeting Thursday to do a bit of research and plan a
rally, I thought we might meet at the sudoroom commons area. I know there
are already several events planned on an ongoing basis for Thursdays, the
Oakland Wiki meeting as well as Wifi Mesh, Python & Javascript meetups. Do
you folks think a few of us would get under foot or should I call the
meeting for the Oakland Public Library Main Branch teen room or perhaps my
fetid domicile? The OPL teen room is open until 8PM.
Solidarity whenever,
Ed
