hey sudo room folks,
following up on my earlier email about potentially cohosting the bay-delta bioregional unconference on may 9th—we're having a community planning call today (thursday, feb 12) at 3:00 pm PST and would love to have sudo room representation there!
zoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/YDOZMmohSXqU6YPhm8JwgA
what we'll discuss:
venue decision (omni commons is one of our top options!)
how sudo room could plug in as a collaborator/cosponsor
volunteer coordination and day-of logistics
ways this could benefit sudo room (visibility, network building, potential revenue share from tickets)
quick context: this is our biannual gathering bringing together 200-300 folks working on permaculture, mutual aid, community resilience, and regenerative systems across the bay-delta bioregion. past events at laney brought together richmond grows, BACE timebank, transition berkeley, and dozens of other community orgs.
even if sudo room can't physically host at the omni (we're exploring berkeley city college and oakstop too), we'd love to have you involved as a collaborating organization.
p.s. also invite you to weality check next week! it's a casual mixed-theme social/networking/deep-conversation gathering we do regularly—next one's coming up soon. it's basically a vibe where regenerative community folks, technologists, systems thinkers, and change-makers hang out and build relationships. check linktr.ee/eastbaypermacultureguild for dates/details!
no pressure if tomorrow doesn't work—happy to catch folks at the next member meeting or async. but would love to have your input as we finalize venue and partnership decisions in the near future!
much love,
ajay
hey sudoers!
taking off my sudo hat for a moment, and following up on the thread from last year about adding our (east bay permaculture guild) unconferences to the sudo room calendar — we're planning our spring unconference for saturday, may 9th and would love to explore cohosting or partnering with sudo room on it.
what is it?
the bay-delta bioregional regeneration unconference is an annual gathering bringing together ~200-300 folks working on regenerative projects across the bay-delta bioregion. it's participant-driven (think: open space technology), focused on permaculture, mutual aid, community resilience, and regenerative systems.
our fall'25 event was at laney college and brought together folks from richmond grows, BACE timebank, transition berkeley, and dozens of other community orgs. you can see details on our past events here: https://baydelta.org/events/
what we're thinking
date: saturday, may 9, 2026
venue: we're still looking! need space for 100-300 people (ideally near BART, indoor + outdoor options) (laney, where we did the last two, is under construction then))
partnership: we'd love to collab with sudo room — could mean:
hosting at or near the omni (if space works)
cross-promotion to our networks
sudo room gets visibility as a collaborating org
potential for sudo room to have a table/presence/workshop track
funds from ticket sales could benefit sudo room
and/or etc..
other venues we've already reached out to:
Berkeley city college
omni (waiting to hear back)
trellis (but not sure if we want it in sf, else mahubay gardens would be an option)
others i'm forgetting now (might reach out to Oakland Asian Cultural Center)
would sudo room be interested in partnering/cohosting? even if we can't physically host at the omni, we'd love to collaborate in other ways.
happy to hop on a call with my co-planner or chat more at the next member meeting (2/13?) if folks are interested!
