Wednesday meeting worthy or can Yar give the go ahead?
I told them I was forwarding to the public list, and that they're
welcome to try visiting in person. I don't think I have the time to be
a primary contact though.

I'm finally finished with the personal project that was making it difficult
for me to meet and takeover Paypal admin last month (still available for
that duty now if no one has picked it up), and can be the initial contact
person if someone with more general involvement and knowledge of current
Sudo projects is not available.

Just a few small concerns.
Open vs. private space. Shall wepublicly post the visit with signs so
people who wish to stay off-camera and off-mic can steer clear?
Omni buy-in. When should our neighbors be given an option to say no or
impose limits on reporting? or to participate?
"Hackers." The investigation seems to be about criminal hackers, not Sudo's
flavor of hack-for-good. "I'm working on an
eight-part documentary series about computer security and hacking" Be wary
of Vice's conflating the two meanings. We're likely added to the story only
to contrast with underground criminal hacking. They may, however, attempt
to link us more closely to their main story so... caution.

People should have an option to NOT be included in the video, so advance
notice of the shoot is important.
Reporters (even if friendly!) are interested in things that have a big
impact or sound bites that people can remember from their shows.
It would be worthwhile to create some sort of guidelines around how to talk
to the reporter.
For example, being careful not to use the word "hacker" near anything that
might be construed to be illegal. (e.g. "We were hacking the police
scanner frequencies so that we could follow what was going on during the
most recent protest")
Maybe focus on things like the Crypto parties where people learned about
how to protect themselves and use encryption, and the work that Sudo is
doing to make these things more accessible to non-geeks. In fact, it would
be very ... convenient ... if there was a Crypto party or meetup going on
the day that the reporter is here.
The general public is really uninterested in nuance, especially when it
comes to things that they are afraid of.

I pinged her to hear more about the documentary and will coordinate
communications accordingly with other members and the list. Maybe we could
get the robot arm a cameo or some such. :)
