Brief items
The Ada Initiative is holding the Ada’s
Angels fundraising campaign. " Our goal for the Ada’s Angel campaign is attracting 1000 donors at the $16 – $32 a month level by October 31, 2012. With this level of steady funding, we can commit to long-term projects like holding AdaCamp in India and Europe, take on new projects like creating a practical workshop for overcoming Impostor Syndrome for women in open tech/culture, and significantly reduce our fundraising costs. (“Angel” is used in the non-religious sense of “angel investor” – we welcome people of all or no religious beliefs.)"

Articles of interest
Ars technica reports on the role of the US International Trade Commission (ITC) in the patent wars. Essentially it is much easier (and quicker) to get "exclusion orders" (effectively injunctions) against "infringing" products via the ITC. " Exclusion orders have proven particularly popular with patent trolls. The eBay [v. MercExchange] standard asks whether the patent holder has suffered an "irreparable injury" due to infringement, and whether an injunction is necessary to repair that injury. Ordinary technology companies can often satisfy this standard. But it's much harder for "non-practicing entities"—patent trolls—to do so, since they can't argue their own products have been hurt by unfair competition. The standard for obtaining exclusion orders is easier for patent trolls to satisfy, however; unsurprisingly, they have accounted for a growing share of the ITC's Section 337 cases."

something, please contact me before Oct. 19, and prepare a poster
too. However, the sooner, the better, as demonstration space will be
limited."
