Yeah i want to put in my vote as not sympathetic with Anon195's outrage.
I'm sympathetic with 'being mad at onesself for overlooking something
obvious,' but not with feeling tricked.
Dude, literally every email you get is two links away from the public
archive!!! Moreover, aren't mailing lists like the first thing the internet
had? One of the first things I ever read on the internet were mailing/
discussion list archives about ska music. I generally expect to be able to
read the archives of any list I'm on or interested in, which means I expect
them to be public and searchable.
If this was a list for grandmas I would maybe feel like it had a duty to be
super explicit, it could assume its members knew nothing about the internet
or how to use links, but this is a hackerspace email list.
If you guys want to make the archives private that's ok because it's easy
to sign up for the list.

At the bottom of every email to this list is a link to
'listinfo' which
opens with an archive of every post to the list. If the boilerplate seems
unclear to people we can talk about changing it but I categorically object
to removing anything from the archive.
Transparency and openness are part of our core values, archiving emails is
very standard, the listinfo page makes it clear that this is done using
completely standard language, and if anyone wishes to have their statements
go unattributed they are welcome to not enter them into the Internet, or to
use a pseudonym.

Let's be really clear about this:
This is the explicit language in the sign-up document:
"Subscribing to sudo-discuss
Subscribe to sudo-discuss by filling out the following form. You will be
sent email requesting confirmation, to prevent others from gratuitously
subscribing you. This is a private list, which means that the list of
members is not available to non-members."
"THIS IS A PRIVATE LIST, WHICH MEANS THAT THE LIST OF MEMBERS IS NOT
AVAILABLE TO NON MEMBERS."
That's a representation of a material fact. And the link to the archive
says NOTHING about that archive being anything that would violate or
contradict the language I quoted above: no disclosure, no nothing.
Blatant misrepresentation.
"May need to be doing a better job" is the understatement of the year.
The answer is, I'm going to hold SudoRoom to the terms & conditions I
signed, and that material is going to be taken down immediately until such
time as anything I've posted in it can be removed from any publicly
searchable content. This is not optional, any more than free repair under
warranty is optional, or the absence of horsemeat in "100% beef
frankfurters" is optional.
I'm holding SudoRoom to its stated language.

hi george,
i'm very sorry that you feel that you did not consent to having this
information public. this list has been publicly archived since it began and
i think that we've tried to make that clear (although it seems that we may
need to be doing a better job!).
unfortunately i'm not sure to what extent the "welcome to sudo-discuss
list" email that new list members receive includes information about
content being publicly archived (could someone help with this?), but
perhaps we may need to make this more explicit in that letter.
for additional background on why we made the decision to publicly
archive contents, the idea is not necessarily to promote "transparency and
openness" as a matter of principle only, but because part of what we wanted
to do with sudo room is to make our history as easy for others to use as
possible so that others who are starting and running hackerspaces can learn
from our experience and discussion. in other words, to facilitate
ctrl-c/ctrl-v of hackerspaces around the world.

Right, and when you slip LSD into the fruit punch at a party and don't
tell anyone, do you justify that by saying you're trying to encourage
enlightenment? Who needs informed consent anyway, right? Hey, who needs
consent of any kind?
Sorry yo, that don't go. It's NON CONSENSUAL, like seducing someone and
failing to disclose to them that you have STDs. It's a trust-break in a
big way.
I'm asserting my right to put this on the meeting agenda for next
Wednesday, and pull in any record of anything I signed that contained TOS.
Let me be really clear about this: I'm as serious as a fucking heart
attack about this, and anyone who thinks it's a joke is fucking sick.
This "open and transparent" stuff is starting to become a chant fit for
a cult, that short-circuits reason and critical thinking. In reality it's
a house of one-way mirrors foisted by the powerful on the masses to enable
"prediction and control" down to the level of the individual.
Enough was enough long ago, just like muggings and the rest of it.

We set the list up to be public in an effort to remain as transparent
and open as possible. This is a blessing and a burden. We should be mindful
of the scope of our language and interested in maintaining private
conversation off the list.
Additionally, if you seek a lot of privacy, I don't recommend
communicating over the internet if it can be helped.

Subject: [sudo-discuss] Michael Orange - film events - Battle for
Brooklyn - any sudo members interested in an intro?
Date: Thu, Apr 11, 2013 9:54 AM
Sudoers,
Why does our discussion list have to be published on the internet? I
don't personally want it to be that public. Who decided it should be done
that way, and is there another option?

Hey here is one of the film events that Michael Orange from top 10
social is presenting.
https://www.facebook.com/events/563556023675662/?notif_t=plan_user_invited
Michael's also working with the Oakland Library as well,so I'll
mention the history wki people from sudoroom are there!
this probably isn't necessary for anyone here... but in case one or
two people gets the temptation:
-- Michael Orange is an all around good guy--please treat him well,
minimize over the top business plans, "industry type behavior", and
approach him as you would a family member. If we talk to him the wrong way
it will be a smear on my reputation and his opinion matters a lot to me. =D
