Eddan: Here, let me help to make it easier. I've attached a City RFP
issued in 2006, the final report issued by the consultant and the final
staff report that resulted from four years of work on the city wide wi-fi
project. The stories I could tell you. Ultimately, the report found that
the City's fiber infrastructure was inadequate to implement such a project -
and the City Council didn't "get it" anyway.
The next story is about the public/private partnership (City, IP Network and
Cisco) that applied for a federal ARRA grant in 2010 to build a $35 million
fiber optic network throughout the City. Didn't get the grant. Then my
subsequent efforts to pick up the pieces (see attached Executive Summary and
powerpoint completed 2 weeks before I left in June 2011). No one has picked
up this project since I left.
See Mark - you just have to ask the right person!!! Call me if you have
questions.
Work wasn't wasted - San Leandro has hired me to become its first Chief
Innovation Officer to represent Lit San Leandro and create a tech business
development strategy in that City.

Mark -
I think it would be useful to bring in Susan Mernit & Deborah Acosta, both
of whom are on this list as far as I know, who were around for these
discussions at the time. Susan, of Oakland Local, has also had extensive and
successful experience with FOI requests with the City of Oakland.

Hmm as would I :) We'll need to figure out which office(s) to send it to,
and what type of documents to request. Let me know if you have any ideas re:
how to phrase the request - I'll also talk to some lawyer folks.

Hi, if anyone is interested in making a Freedom of Information request to a
local/state/federal government agency, I have some surplus credits on
https://www.muckrock.com/ - a website which makes it pretty easy to send and
track FOI requests online. Just email me off-list and I can submit a request
for you.
Maybe could be useful for Oakland Wiki or other projects folks are working
on?
Note, sometimes agencies refuse to send documents and you have to file a
lawsuit (but hey, you might win a million dollars 10 years later), or they
want to charge exorbitant fees for documents - e.g.
https://muckrock.s3.amazonaws.com/foia_files/Ltr_-_1-17-13.pdf - but
sometimes you can get what you're looking for free of charge..

I've lost track of what we're talking about, but I think we should all be equipped with Sudo Sporks (knife-spork) - the butcher, the baker, and the candle-stick maker especially.
If all three are in conflict with each other, by the way, it may curiously be less of a problem and rather the ideal scenario for cooperation. A team of rivals, with deliberate separation of powers, can sometimes be the best way to get through a delicate challenge, like with the 13th amendment for those who've seen Spielberg's Lincoln.

I agree in this particular case and in fact admit to unintentionally participating in stifling a straw poll because my comment was understood as an objection. I was merely trying to introduce a note of caution into asking who would be willing to pay for something and how much, given how some people could really be turned off by that kind of peer pressure, however well-meaning.
I do however hesitate to be absolute about it, or unconditional. Bad faith consensus blocking has been discussed at Sudo Room many times, and I would hope that the process we go with could not be exploited as such.
