Dear all, thank you Edgar for setting up our mailing list! I’ve decided that it would be easiest to mass-subscribe all who left their address. I think not even the GDPR requires a double-opt-in. If it wasn’t your intention to be on this list, I apologize and ask you to let me know and I will take you off.
Then next meeting: Cven suggested to meet at the next CryptoParty, 18 Jan, 20h, at c-base. https://www.cryptoparty.in/berlin I will be in London that night but then BRlin doesn’t depend on me.
Again, you’re welcome to join the CryptoParty. Other dates for next BRlin meeting are possible as well. As for options for a jour fixe every first xday of the month at c-base I’ll let you know asap. The channel is opened. Contributions in Portuguese are welcome. Let’s see what we can achieve together, beijos & abraços, Volker

Dear all,
thanks for being there. The strong and active participation showed that there is a desire for a regular exchange about Brazilian matters in Berlin.
We didn’t take proper minutes. So I’ll just follow up with some pratical notes on how to proceed. Alé send me his after-thoughts with a more systematic approach that I’ll include.
So first we need a name ,-) I thought of BeBra (Berlin – Brasil) but like Alé’s suggestion better: BRlin.

Until then, c-base circle will have discussed what would be a good day for a monthly meet-up. Sunday, as I said, is easy but there were reservations against weekend. The first Monday of the month would also be possible, and other days.
Edgar thankfully offered to set up a mailinglist at OKFN. Once it’s there, I’ll send invites to this Bcc-List to subscribe to list.
Other suggestions included a group on Signal or on Riot and an etherpad for collectively adding recources. Can anyone provide those? For now, I'm collecting links here: https://www.vgrass.de/?page_id=4395
Maybe adding resources for translations would be usefull too. E.g. the course videos from Infosec Bytes might be worth subtitling in Portuguese (easy to do in the Youtube subtitle editor). http://infosecbytes.org/
Also, Geraldine de Bastion responded saying that her Global Innovation Gathering (GIG) has many Brazilian members and they are also discussing support actions and other interventions. http://www.globalinnovationgathering.org/
So much from me, and here are Alé’s notes:

Olá à todos, alguém poderia dar um sinal de vida pra saber se a lista está funcionando? :) Depois de nosso encontro achei que seria uma boa idéia baixar todos os dados abertos publicados pelo Ibama, vai saber quanto tempo os dados continuarão disponíveis e não modificados. Basicamente fiz alguns scripts em Python pra baixar todos os datasets do site https://www.ibama.gov.br/dados-abertos. Ao todo, os dados são mais que 18Gb e ainda não decidi onde é o melhor local pra fazer um mirror. Alguns dos datasets incluem multas por estado, incluindo CPF/CNPJ do multado, valor da multa e tipo da infração. Ainda não tive tempo de analisar os dados, mas explorá-los usando Jupyter notebook (https://jupyter.org/) já seria um primeiro passo interessante. Se alguém tiver interesse em trabalhar em conjunto com os dados só dar um sinal. Podemos criar um repositório no Gitlab/Github e iniciar algo. Abraços!

Hi Volker, Oi Edgar, Hello BRlin, Thank you guys for building all of this. I will go to c-base on Friday and right after I'm going to Schwuz <https://pt-pt.facebook.com/events/774198316274515/>, where another Brazilian Collective will do a demo against fascism in Brazil. All invited! Edgar, eu vou adorar trabalhar em conjunto neste projeto. Um forte abraço e ótima quarta-feira!

Hi Folks, Thanks for putting this together. As I said before, I won’t be able to attend the meetings due to location constraint (I’m in the pacific west coast of Canada) - but I’d love to participate and help in any way possible. You can count on me to help with infrastructure and coding .

Hi Volker, I have an account on the IA, but I don't know the fastest way to transfer all the data to it. It's not much, around 21Gb. You can ask them how would be the better way to do it. I'm finishing a project in the last weeks and I couldn't advance so much with the data, I just played a bit with the Ibama fines datasets but I'm planning to look deeper on February.

Dear all,
thank you Edgar for setting up our mailing list!
I’ve decided that it would be easiest to mass-subscribe all who left their address. I think not even the GDPR requires a double-opt-in. If it wasn’t your intention to be on this list, I apologize and ask you to let me know and I will take you off.
Then next meeting: Cven suggested to meet at the next CryptoParty, 18 Jan, 20h, at c-base. https://www.cryptoparty.in/berlin I will be in London that night but then BRlin doesn’t depend on me.
Again, you’re welcome to join the CryptoParty. Other dates for next BRlin meeting are possible as well. As for options for a jour fixe every first xday of the month at c-base I’ll let you know asap.
The channel is opened. Contributions in Portuguese are welcome. Let’s see what we can achieve together,
beijos & abraços, Volker

Dear all,
thanks for being there. The strong and active participation showed that there is a desire for a regular exchange about Brazilian matters in Berlin.
We didn’t take proper minutes. So I’ll just follow up with some pratical notes on how to proceed. Alé send me his after-thoughts with a more systematic approach that I’ll include.
So first we need a name ,-) I thought of BeBra (Berlin – Brasil) but like Alé’s suggestion better: BRlin.
Then next meeting: Cven suggested to meet at the next CryptoParty, 18 Jan, 20h, at c-base. https://www.cryptoparty.in/berlin I will be in London that night but then BRlin doesn’t depend on me.
Until then, c-base circle will have discussed what would be a good day for a monthly meet-up. Sunday, as I said, is easy but there were reservations against weekend. The first Monday of the month would also be possible, and other days.
Edgar thankfully offered to set up a mailinglist at OKFN. Once it’s there, I’ll send invites to this Bcc-List to subscribe to list.
Other suggestions included a group on Signal or on Riot and an etherpad for collectively adding recources. Can anyone provide those? For now, I'm collecting links here: https://www.vgrass.de/?page_id=4395
Maybe adding resources for translations would be usefull too. E.g. the course videos from Infosec Bytes might be worth subtitling in Portuguese (easy to do in the Youtube subtitle editor). http://infosecbytes.org/
Also, Geraldine de Bastion responded saying that her Global Innovation Gathering (GIG) has many Brazilian members and they are also discussing support actions and other interventions. http://www.globalinnovationgathering.org/
So much from me, and here are Alé’s notes:
= BRlin tasks =
== team news == * contact apublica, reporterbrasil, intercept
* objective: voice and eyeballs to people on the ground ** ground requires: media equipment and skills, anonymity or investigative journalists ** remote requires: political and news contacts in Berlin and Europe
* objective: data analysis ** requires: open data, leaks, analysts
== team coordination == * objective: coordination among people on the ground * objective: coordination among remote people * objective: coordination between ground and remote
* requires: well defined roles, secure and reliable communication channels
== team incoming resources == * to support people on the ground, remote work and infrastructure * donations, grants * volunteers
== team infrastructure == * information infrastructure ** requires: servers, bandwidth, hackers
* physical infrastructure ** remote requires: meeting place, microphones, projector ** ground requires: media production and communication equipment, security and monitoring devices
== team "save the public sphere, save democracy" == * conflicts with: Facebook + WhatsApp * requires: research, media studies and sociology, experiments, data analysis
== note to self == * promote Gavin's book ;D ** https://hubzilla.com.br/cloud/aleabdo/Gavin%20Adams
I can second the recommendation of Gavin Adams, Um Diário das Ruas 2015-2018. At 1.255 pages it’s not a quick answer to what has happened in Brazil but a rich archive for researching that question.
Let’s do this together.
beijos & abraços, Volker
