Fwd: SOD Blitz 2013 Survey Project Announcement

by Daniel Finlay

For those of you interested in conserving our local wildlife, Our local oak trees are at risk by a strange, rapidly-spreading organism you may have heard of, being called Sudden Oak Death (SOD). While there is no cure, there are measures that can curb its spread. However, to make sure those measures are implemented efficiently, it is important to do an annual survey of the current spread of this tree disease. This involves people like you attending a training to collect suspicious bay leaves, and take notes so that they can be sent to the lab for diagnosis and geo-tagging. Information on attending such a training is attached. -Dan Finlay Begin forwarded message: > From: Douglas SCHMIDT <dschmidt(a)berkeley.edu> > Subject: SOD Blitz 2013 Survey Project Announcement > Date: April 7, 2013 9:04:10 PM PDT > To: Douglas SCHMIDT <dschmidt(a)berkeley.edu> > Bcc: somniac(a)me.com > > Friends of Matteo's Lab, > SOD Blitz season is upon us, and we need Citizen-Scientists like yourself help map the spread of Sudden Oak Death (SOD)!

first friday - great alternative funding discussion - try reading HOW THE HIPPIES SAVED PHYSICS

by Romy Ilano

I didn't participate in the amazing alternative funding discussion going on in the main room friday night. wow! it was really neat.i overheard a tiny bit of it. http://www.hippiessavedphysics.com you'd like HOW THE HIPPIES SAVED PHYSICS it discusses the role of unusual self-help gurus like eckhard tolle during the 1970s. weird rich guys like that saved the discipline of quantum physics during a time of deep government cutbacks. a lot of those physics phds were unemployed and working in factories. very neat stuff, especially considering that quantum physics is used today for the most sophisticated bank encryption. i enjoyed the book even though i'm not a physics expert. the mixture of lsd + ESP studies and the colorful people is very entertaining to say the very least!

I'm excited about the audio hacking TIL!

by Yardena Cohen

You guys I'm excited about our TIL today! Shani is here preparing for it. She has a background in composing chamber music and sound engineering and fun-looking electronic instruments that I've never even heard of before! It will also be a chance to catch everybody up on the Sudo Radio situation and learn about all the equipment in there. So come join us this afternoon! 2PM or earlier. ;) Also if you have any questions about audio that you want extra-researched answers for, you can bring/send your questions in advance and she'll spend time doing that. Isn't that awesome???

TIL: Hacking Sexual Health

by Vicky Knox

Tonight during the general meeting I proposed the Today I Learned event "Hacking Sexual Health". I'd like to open up the floor to multiple facilitators interested in this topic area to help me lead either one TIL workshop, or a series of workshops if there is sufficient excitement. Hacking Sexual Health is intended for sexual and asexual people alike. So what does it mean to hack sexual health? Ruminate on it. :] My personal interest is hacking menstruation. I'd like to lead a workshop for creating cloth pads out of recycled clothing. The workshop is intended both for people who menstruate and for people who have friends who menstruate (and want to make them lovely presents!). We will go over different lady product options and have fun cost-comparisons for different products and unproducts. I will be reserving either April 27th or May 4th upon consulting my secretary. :P Please contact me if you are interested in developing your own workshop or helping me to facilitate menstruation hacking! ykciV PS: Clothing hackers, you know who you are!

Fwd: Agenda Announced for IDESG May Plenary Meeting <-- online identity workshop!

by aestetix

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Oh hai everyone! If you're one of the rare few who hasn't heard me rant about online identity, now is your chance! May 7-9: IIW workshop (Computer History Museum) May 9-10: IDESG Plenary (see forwarded email) There are two big events coming up in May that I feel are very important. The first is IIW (Internet Identity Workshop), an un-conference where people can collaborate on what they think and want to future of online identity to be. http://iiw16.eventbrite.com/ for more. The second is more personal to me, and the agenda email I'm forwarding, which takes place down the street from IIW with some crossover. It's the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, which is a bunch of government and corporation types trying to create policy for online identity. Pointing specifically to the "Use Case workshop", we want to bring as many people in favor of nym (online pseudonyms and anonyms) rights to educate the IDESG plenary, and make sure our views are heard. While we're already planning a few use cases, we think it's important that everyone has a chance to be heard, even if (especially if) you're non-technical. If getting to the south bay is a challenge for you, we're going to try to set up a carpooling system. Please let me know if you're interested. It's also worth noting that the IDESG plenary is completely free :) Cheers, aestetix PS: you can find more info on http://www.nymrights.org - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Agenda Announced for IDESG May Plenary Meeting Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 12:12:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Identity Ecosystem Steering Group Secretariat <idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com> Reply-To: idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com To: aestetix(a)aestetix.com IDESG Plenary <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/register-attend-4th-plenary-meeting> * Register to Attend * *Santa Clara * *Plenary Meeting* *May 9-10, 2013* *<https://www.idecosystem.org/page/register-attend-4th-plenary-meeting> * * *What:* 4th IDESG Plenary Meeting * *When:* Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 AM (PT) to Friday, May 10 at 5:00 PM (PT) o Held immediately following the IIW Conference which is May 7-9, 2013 nearby at the Computer Museum. * *Where:* The Network Meeting Center in Silicon Valley's TechMart o 5201 Great America Parkway, Suite 122 o Santa Clara, CA 95054 * List of Area Hotels <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/4th-plenary-meeting-hotels> * Sponsorship Opportunities <https://www.idecosystem.org/page/4th-plenary-sponsorship-opportunities> *IDESG May Plenary Agenda* *Thursday, May 9, 2013* * 8:30 a.m.: Welcome; Introduction of New Leadership Team * 9:00 a.m.: Introduction of Management Council Work Planning Subcommittee o Work Planning Document o Work Products Adoption Process * 10:00 a.m.: Break * 10:15 a.m.: Use Case Workshop * 12:15 p.m.: Lunch on your own * 1:15 p.m.: Use Case Workshop continued * 3:45 p.m.: Break * 4:00 p.m.: NSTIC Pilots Update * 6:00 p.m.: Day One Wrap-up * 6:30 p.m.: Happy Hour *Friday, May 10, 2013* * 8:00 a.m.: Success Metrics o Organizational and Identity Ecosystem Health Discussion * 8:45 a.m.: Business Plan Subcommittee Value Proposition and Sustainability Planning * 9:30 a.m.: Terms and Definitions * 10:00 a.m.: Break * 10:15 a.m.: Committee Breakouts (6 at a time) * 11:45 a.m.: Lunch on your own * 1:00 p.m.: Committee Breakouts (other 6 committees) * 2:30 p.m.: Privacy Committee Report on PEM 2.0 * 3:30 p.m.: Break * 3:45 p.m.: Plenary Wrap-up: Work Plan Alignment with Plenary Results, Gap Analysis, and Next Steps *Stay Connected* Like us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/idecosystem> Follow us on Twitter <https://twitter.com/id_eco_system> View our profile on LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/groups/NSTIC-Identity-Ecosystem-Steering-Group-4623…> View our videos on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/user/idecosystem> Identity Ecosystem Steering Group Secretariat | www.idecosystem.org <http://www.idecosystem.org> Forward this email <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=tj5tlvlab&m=1112039618867&ea=…> <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001I0y-z-nW30yzaTaEMHimRlsBi…> This email was sent to aestetix(a)aestetix.com by idecosystem(a)trustedfederal.com <mailto:idecosystem@trustedfederal.com> | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe <http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&mse=001I0y-z-nW30yzaTaEMHimRlsBi…>™ | Privacy Policy <http://ui.constantcontact.com/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp>.

new sudoroom dues survey: google forms edition (not reply to list)

by Max Klein

I know we all love Google like a relative (that won't leave us alone about our private lives), but it seems like a good idea to use their "Forms" for this survey IF you've already replied to list: don't worry about refilling it out, I'll migrate responses ELSE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WmLrkg0tmFf3Ny66IyCmyMfqLc43MzhyQlgEs_dtaU… IF interested in revamping questions: form is openly editable Max
