Fwd: [noise@ischool] Nonprofit Development Summit coming up in November

by Mitar

Hi! Anybody going? It seems there is a "mobile, wireless and networking" topic as well. Mitar -------- Original Message -------- From: Robyn Perry <nybor.robyn(a)gmail.com> Subject: [noise@ischool] Nonprofit Development Summit coming up in November To: noise(a)ischool.berkeley.edu Folks who are interested in connecting with great work happening in the nonprofit sphere in the Bay should check out the Nonprofit Dev Summit put on by Aspiration Tech on Nov 18-20. Techies and nonprofits come together for 3 days at Preservation Park in Oakland (15 minutes from here on BART) to hash out everything related to technology needs of the nonprofit sector (past attendees have included OpenStreetMap people, the founder of Change.org, and many others...). I've attended for a number of years and it's always well-organized, very valuable, and fun, and I learn a ton. Think networking, summer internships, job possibilities, etc. Happy to answer any questions about it. There's a sliding scale for registration, so name your price. Aspiration Tech just asks that folks commit to attending for a full day. Read a bit about it: http://aspirationtech.org/ and/or register here: https://aspirationsummit2013.eventbrite.com/ -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

Sudo Mesh Budget

by Jenny Ryan

...can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_Q7DQvNFT-dGE0a3hSRnVlck1xVH… We've yet to add details for October - adding an 'exit node' and backup services. Marc, can you add those details? Tomorrow we should go over the draft of our Bylaws<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws>and push to incorporate within two weeks - from there we can set up a proper bank account, transfer the current standing funds from my & Marc's account to it, and set up a donation portal at sudomesh.org. Feel free to edit the Bylaws <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Bylaws> now to expedite this process!

Call for web designers!

by Jenny Ryan

Let's build something beautiful! Ping if you want to participate in building peoplesopen.net or sudomesh.org We need it all! Attached is a potential logo for sudomesh, very similar to sudoroom's new branding (yet to be implemented... ping if you want to help with that, too ;P). I made a business card with this logo and used it during the conference (off my phone ;) - also attached. I won't make it to this week's meetup, returning Friday from Berlin! Will be making a writeup tomorrow :) <3 Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
