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.

Hey there,
I wanted to propose we have our next board meeting in two Tuesdays from
tonight on *October 6 @ 7pm*.
We need to examine who sits on the board and accept any nominations for new
members, and deal with some of those bureaucratic things. But also we can
use it as a chance to re-connect and re-align.
I was gonna just call it but thought I should check in first.
*Anyone have any conflicts/objections to holding it at the above proposed
date?*
Hope everyone's healthy, both physically and mentally. Things are hella
overwhelming these days.
best,
Mai
