 you think internet should be a public commons rather than a corporate 
 monopoly?\n\nFollowing Aspiration Tech’s annual Nonprofit Software 
 Development Summit, come on over to Omni Commons to learn about the history 
 of the internet, how it works, and how to build your own. Meet and mingle 
 with civic hackers and organizers behind PeoplesOpen.Net: an open, 
 community-based, wireless network in the East Bay.\n\nJoin us for food, 
 family-friendly activities, and conversation about the state of the 
 internet today, the physical work that goes into stewarding an internet 
 commons, and the possibilities you see in owning and operating a piece of a 
 community wireless network.\n\n* No experience building internets 
 necessary! Experience living and speaking with neighbors in your 
 communities desired! Curiosity recommended :) *\n\n- Print a t-shirt and 
 make buttons!\n- Crimp an internet cable!\n- Learn about the sweet nothings 
 computers whisper to each other when you aren't looking!\n- Map your 
 neighborhood resources!\n- Eat tasty foods!\n\n\nAgenda:\n2:00pm – 
 Why/what/how of the internet\n2:30pm – Snack, mingle, share and 
 experiment\n3:00pm – Hands-on workshop with a variety of learning 
 stations\n5:00pm – end -> post-workshop hangouts.\n\nDonations accepted

 Shattuck, Oakland, CA\n\nThe Omni Commons is 8 blocks (half of a mile) from 
 MacArthur BART station, 2 blocks from AC transit, and substantial bike 
 parking is available on sidewalk around the front of the building.\n\nThe 
 venue is wheelchair-accessible. We ask attendees that they come to the 
 event scent-free. The venue uses scent-free cleaning products but we 
 unfortunately cannot make guarantees as various organizations and community 
 members rent and come through the space.\n\nFor info about previous events 
 see: https://peoplesopen.net/workshop\n\n\n\nBuild Your Own Internet is a 
 quarterly workshop organized by the volunteers building the People's Open 
 Network.\n\n\nThe People's Open Network enables anyone to share their 
 Internet connection or extend signal from neighboring nodes. Learn more at 
 peoplesopen.net.\n\nPeople's Open Network operates out of Oakland creative 
 community and hackerspace Sudo Room. Sudo Room is a member collective of 
 the Omni Commons. The Omni Commons is a 100% volunteer-run space for 
 community organizing, collaboration, and creative production located in 
 North Oakland. Learn more at omnicommons.org.\n
