[Important] Sudo Short on Rent this Month!

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I made a deposit today from the donation bin with $260 dollars, bringing our bank account total to ~$1020. Our invoice from the landlords is $1,661.50 We need to raise ~$650 to pay rent PLUS another $500 to maintain our bank account minimum and not be charged for being below the minimum. *How can we raise up to $1,150 by say, Monday?* Some ideas I'm throwing out there and discussing with folks in the space at the moment: - Ask folks to pay their dues! Encourage your friends. - Throw a fund-raiser this Saturday (take donations, give beverages, performances) - Reach out to different groups that use the space. // Matt

Fwd: Save Airbnb in New York

by Eddan Katz

For those who have not been following the Airbnb legal troubles, this story has been called "Airbnb vs. New York City: The Defining Fight of the Sharing Economy" (http://skift.com/2013/10/13/airbnb-vs-new-york-city-the-defining-fight-of-t…; w/ links). I would rather call this version of peer production - collaborative consumption, but do think that the way this goes will be a key turning point. It's not just the hospitality political lobbies that are the problem, it's also the landlords' lobby. > > > > > Dear Eddan, > > I'm writing to ask you to help save Airbnb in New York. > > As a guest who has stayed with a Host, you know how unique and local an experience that is. And you also know the majority of our hosts are just regular people making ends meet by renting out their own homes. > > Now, that experience is under threat. > > The New York Attorney General has subpoenaed the records of almost all of our New York hosts. We are fighting the subpoena with all we've got, but poorly written laws make for even worse enforcement. Unless you help to stop it once and for all, the laws may never get better and the threat to our New York community will continue. > > A petition to change New York law already has over 88,000 signatures, and an Airbnb host, Mishelle, has pledged to personally deliver it to the New York Senate. Our new goal is 100,000 signatures. We hope as many people as possible will encourage New York to change the law. > > Sign Mishelle's petition to change the NY law and Save Airbnb. > > Thank you for standing with our New York hosts. We can create a new world where people can feel at home, anywhere. Let's create that world together. > > Thank you for signing, > > Douglas Atkin > Global Head of Community > > > > > > > > > > Airbnb Inc. > 888 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103 > > To stop receiving emails from Airbnb, click here >

Fwd: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China.

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Ooo, interesting, no? // Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Michael Buckland" <buckland(a)berkeley.edu> To: <friday(a)ischool.berkeley.edu>, "I School Announcement" <i-announce(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Subject: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China. Date: Wed, Oct 30, 2013 11:17 FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm. http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-ia/f13/schedule.html Open to the public. Everyone interested is welcome! Friday, Nov 1: Elisa OREGLIA: Dissertation Talk: From Farm to Farmville: Circulation, Adoption, and Use of ICT between Urban and Rural China. In the mid-2000s, China began a set of policies to "informatize" the countryside, i.e. to bring Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to rural residents in order to improve their economic conditions. These policies posit the countryside as a world of "less", compared to urban areas, and portray people who are at the margins of China's modernization (migrant workers, rural residents, older people, and farmers) as in need of ICT to access more and better information, and, as a consequence, more and better opportunities. In contrast to this widespread view of marginalized users as passive recipients of technologies, I look at the diffusion and appropriation of ICT such as mobile phones and computers among rural residents and migrant workers in their own terms: not as foils for elite views of why they would/should go online, but rather as people who discover the opportunities offered by ICT that are of interest to them, and try to use these opportunities as best as they can. By retracing the paths through which ICT travel in urban and rural China and the social relations that are maintained, renewed, and reinvented along the way, I show how people at the margins "invent" themselves as users, find a connection between their lives and technology, and participate from afar to China's rapid modernization. A presentation of this work was was named the best graduate student paper on China and inner Asia at the 2013 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies by the AAS' China and Inner Asia Council. Elisa Oreglia is completing her PhD in the School of Information. More at http://ercolino.eu/eo/. FORTHCOMING Friday, Nov 8: Niels W. LUND, Univ. of Tromso, Norway: Which discipline does Document Theory belong to? Wrapping up 25 years of work in progress. In the design of information services (libraries, archives, data sets, websites, etc.), you deal with documents in relation to their material nature (paper, software, hardware etc. etc.), their social status (legal issues with access etc., impact), and their mental/cognitive aspects (How are they been understood?). But in the world of higher education, you still have a relatively sharp division between humanities, social sciences, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), so what can you do when you feel you belong to all three academic worlds? Niels Windfeld Lund will soon retire as Professor, University of Tromso, Norway, where he was the founding director of the program in Documentation Studies. He has twice been a visiting scholar here. More at Bio card. Friday, Nov 15: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity. Clifford LYNCH: The Failure of Stewardship Organizations. (Continued). Friday, Nov 22: Michael BUCKLAND: Support for scholarly editing. Friday, Nov 29: Thanksgiving: No seminar meeting. Friday, Dec 6: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity.
