Marc's response is justified, though I reject the language of the two
opening questions.

My conversation over the phone with Vivienne lead me to believe that she
was participating in a competition organized by her school and I didn't
carefully scan the email explanation that she sent me afterward to send to
the list. I am really down about my oversight and apologize for it.

I did learn the details of the competition's funding when she and a
colleague came to see the space and pick up the key the night before their
practice, and at that point I processed the explanation of the sponsorship
much differently than Marc. While she is not happy about the sponsor,
Vivienne's justification of pursuing this event was that this was a great
opportunity for her students to get a hold of resources and a learning
environment they would otherwise not have had. She wanted to be able to do
this event at a hackerspace because her ultimate goal was to use this
competition as a bridge to connect to a critical, hacker community (for
what this bridge is worth, given the obvious discrepancy). I felt at once
uneasy and understanding. I respect the sentiment that she expressed that
she needed to take the opportunity that was there, just as I am not quick
to jump to judgment of many of my bright and fascinating friends back home
who were in a position in which they (felt that they?) needed to join the
military in order to realistically afford higher education. That said, I
stand with Marc in my rejection of the military industrial complex (or
whatever you would like to call it), but I do not know the answer to more
nuanced questions of access to aspirational education within a race-class
divided society. I invite your conversation.

If Marc or anyone else would like to bring up this topic at the general
meeting, I could not make it this Wednesday but am available the following.

Three last clarifications (please ask if you need any others):

1. The program did not cover the cost of renting a space, and Vivienne did
not pursue sponsors, but rather gathered money out-of-pocket. I did not ask
her her reasons for raising money independently, so I cannot weigh in with
any analysis. I could try asking her if any of you find this fact relevant.
2. The money she raised went straight (technically still a check in my
possession) to George to temporarily rent the smaller dance space for just
that Sunday.
3. For what it's worth, when I spoke with George about the practice, he was
(at least at that time) amenable to having high schoolers at 2141 should
they be equipped with signed parental waivers.

This is not a question of access to aspirational education within a
race-class divided society. The problem I'm having is that you (and
possibly others?) decided to facilitate something called The Air Force
Association's CyberPatriot Competition, with Northrop Grumman as sponsor,
with some form of association to sudo room. Whatever your personal
decision-making process was, you must have realized that at least some
members would strongly disagree with that decision, yet you moved forward
with short warning and without directly bringing the controversial topic in
front of the group for discussion and decision. This should have been taken
up at the weekly meeting. The fact that it was not obvious to you that this
event was controversial enough to warrant serious group discussion before
proceeding is problematic.

I share the desire to be critical of and proceed carefully with
associations with military-sponsored events.
I think it will be important for us to hear directly from the kids if
possible since they have by far the most to gain or lose in this question:
How do they view the sponsorship of the contest, what do they hope to get
from participating in the contest, what do they hope to gain from being at
sudo room (if we will have them)?

Northrop Grumman is historically, and still almost entirely an arms manufacturer.  What if we had United Launch Alliance wanting to sponsor a rocketry program for kids?  Where do we draw the perimeter around our organization?  Google?  PG&E?  Taqueria Sinaloa?  I think there are a few no-brainers both ways, and a vast expanse of grey area.  Maybe we could have 2 levels of association for events - events that are endorsed by the group wholeheartedly and have no substantial conflicts of interest, and events where there is no question of value to the intended benefit recipients but some members have reservations about what it would imply if we were perceived to be associated as a group.  Like, can't be added to the website or announced via sudo social media nodes, can't use our logo in their documentation of the event, etc.  I think the comment about going over with the kids themselves about what sponsorship implies is spot on, maybe give us an opportunity to teach them about all the pa
 triots that have overthrown their own governments for the better, the patriots that resist foreign occupation aaand i'll stop there.

Also, this particular event aside, the initial feedback seems to indicate that George is OK with some form of highschool-age kids participating at sudo room which could extend our educational value to the community.  There is this program where HS students share time on cube sats - I'm trying to get a team formed at my high school in San Antonio, would be awesome if we could get some students from Oakland in on it.  Pretty basic stuff, just writing software to flash up there and read sensors, then 'up'load the data back to earth.  No warheads or anything.

this DAC shit is totally out of control. We have to start working on making
the enormous problems it represents visible to everyone.

I'd like it we could fold activism & awareness around the DAC into the
cryptoparty, or have a cryptoparty around brainstorming how to tackle this
issue locally.

Solidarity,

As an organizer of the bookfair, i should express we have a bit of an
issue with the sharing of tables.

it is not up to any of the tablers to decide who shares a table with
them. if they're willing to share a table then they should let us know
because there are other people who requested first. We want to make
sure that anarchist projects get prioritized.

I don't want to assume ill intent of the teacher herself, and I don't want to assume she is trying to mislead us.  I think that the avenues of funding are extremely limited for Oakland's public schools, and meanwhile the USAF and Northrop Grumman are all too eager to find desperate youth and offer them a 'future' that turns them into killing machines.  But we may have an actual opportunity to talk to the teacher and offer her some alternatives for the students, and actually wrench such an event from the hands of the military industrial complex.  Wouldn't it be beautiful if we had a fundraiser for youth from this school that want to work on cool hacking projects (Oakland Wiki?)

I think there are a multitude of ways to create an alternative event for these kids, in a way that doesn't say to the teacher "flip off we don't want your event here" but actually has a positive spin that cuts the USAF out of the loop.  We've actually already been talking about creating a Sudo-Teens, and I think this would perfectly riff off of that project.  As it happens, my partner actually works for OUSD and is in a unique position to bridge our goals and theirs, and will be getting in contact with the teacher herself to propose alternatives.  What do you all think?

She wanted to be able to do this event at a hackerspace because her ultimate goal was to use this competition as a bridge to connect to a critical, hacker community (for what this bridge is worth, given the obvious discrepancy). I felt at once uneasy and understanding. I respect the sentiment that she expressed that she needed to take the opportunity that was there, just as I am not quick to jump to judgment of many of my bright and fascinating friends back home who were in a position in which they (felt that they?) needed to join the military in order to realistically afford higher education.

The problem I'm having is that you (and possibly others?) decided to facilitate something called The Air Force Association's CyberPatriot Competition, with Northrop Grumman as sponsor, with some form of association to sudo room. Whatever your personal decision-making process was, you must have realized that at least some members would strongly disagree with that decision, yet you moved forward with short warning and without directly bringing the controversial topic in front of the group for discussion and decision. This should have been taken up at the weekly meeting. The fact that it was not obvious to you that this event was controversial enough to warrant serious group discussion before proceeding is problematic.
