role on technology projects empowering freedom of expression and
association online. Our new colleague shares the company’s _values_
<https://equalit.ie/values/> and is ready to lead software development
on a DDoS mitigation infrastructure <https://deflect.ca> and contribute

the design of current and future _defensive web technologies_

“document everything” approach and publish your work as FLOSS.
*About you*
You understand the building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with

Hi sudo meshers!
It's been a while since we've all hung out.
A lot has changed and many of us are in different places both mentally and
physically since sudo mesh was last properly active.
That being said I feel like we still all have things that are exciting to
us relating to decentralized internet things. Maybe some old projects
should be officially shelved. Maybe people have ideas for new things they'd
like to hack on.
Let's meet up and talk about what we are excited about and what we want for
the future. If nothing else we can at least decide on a recurring time to
hang out and hack on cool stuff together.
Here are a few options for when to meet:
https://doodle.com/poll/kbmffxz6i2aib9wg?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
The hangout will be both in person at Omni and online simultaneously.
Remember that masks are required at Omni at all times. I don't believe Omni
requires vaccines but sudo room and CCL both do while sudo mesh has no
policy so I'll just personally request that people don't show up in person
if they aren't vaccinated.

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:
https://takeaction.salsalabs.org/oicc0
I think passing this ordinance is going to be a really important step to
support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.

Subject: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Please forward to your groups and collectives - Omni Commons is
seeking candidates in our officer election for 3 positions: president,
treasurer and secretary.
At minimum, folks in these positions need to have their names filed
with the California secretary of state and be available to
occasionally sign things.
At best, folks in these positions would join the finance working group
to take an active role in administrative paperwork, writing checks,
paying bills and so forth. An active treasurer would enable us to have
separation of powers between the bookkeeper and the money spender, for
example.
Your primary interactions would probably be with finance wg members -
currently me, Sarah Lockhart, John Torok, and occasionally Silver.
Like all community members, you'd be encouraged (but not required) to
attend delegates meetings on 1st and 3rd Thursdays.
As soon as we get enough interested candidates, we will hold an
election to get delegate approval.
Thanks,
Yar
