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.

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
