The oakland internet choice initiative is picking up speed!
> The Oakland Internet Choice Coalition (OICC) is organizing to provide a
legal path requiring landlords of large multi-tenant buildings to allow
*any *qualified Internet service provider to serve their tenants.
Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan is looking for community
support in the next couple of months.
If you live in Oakland, read more about it and send her an email:

I think passing this ordinance is going to be a really important step to
support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.

Hi all,
A colleague on the Ashby Village Tech Team where I am volunteering
heard about my connection with sudomesh, and tells me that he has:
"seven new-in-box SonicWall TZ-205 routers left over from my days as a
road warrior for ATT," and that he would like to donate them if they
can be used for the Mesh.
Please advise!
thanks
Hilary

Hi! This is Ál, from Guifi.net mesh community network. I was visiting
your hackerspace in 2014 and I was collaborating with this speech:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2014-September/001244.html
I hope all of you are well!
My friend and colleague Konejo (in CC) is traveling around North America
and I said him to not forget to visit your fantastic hackerspace and
projects.
He's a great programmer in several languages, ask him about his great
contributions to free software frontends!
Are you there everyday or what is the best day to go to visit you?
Take care and I hope to see you again some day, in any case you're
invited to come and visit Barcelona!
