Yeah, what Jenny is saying.
And also in regards to what is Sudo about it:
The naming of streets and landmarks and parks is accomplished either formally by the state
or the company willing to sponsor it.
I think the Sudo way of naming landmarks should depend on what the community can
collectively accomplish without confirmation by power or with money. It is peer produced
because it depends on voluntary community collaborative participation of check-in in order
to have legitimacy. Governments can't force Yelp to list some landmark the same as
Google, Yahoo!, and FacebookHome. And the companies competitive interests prevent
cooperation.
Which Franklin is it referring to? If it is Benjamin, I'd guess he'd be all for
it.

Mark: Thanks for the info! That sounds like a
beautiful public transportation option. I was wondering what happened to Oakland
streetcars and it seems there was a recent plan and push for
them:http://www.oaklandstreetcarplan.com
JC: We are not a virtually community alone - sudo room is a physical space located in an
actual place, with history and neighbors and all the intricacies that compose
location-based culture.
I'm a huge fan of Oakland Wiki and think it's one of the most important projects
sudoers are working on right now. Attention to one's surroundings and the dynamics of
a place one is relatively new to reflects a sensibility of understanding and attunement
that is sadly neglected in this age of community alienation and displacement (how many of
us actually grew up in this town?).

This all sounds interesting and stuff, it would
be helpful if you gave a quick context as to why I would care about this and how it
relates to sudo'ism.

http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss the actual name is Franklin Plaza and yes it has
a OaklandWiki page- we batch-imported all oakland parks :)
http://oaklandwiki.org/Franklin_Plaza
by the way, if you look at old maps, there used to be Southern Pacific streetcars running
along Franklin St across Broadway onto 22nd street by the sudoroom entrance. from sudoroom
you could take an electric train (1200 volts DC!) all the way to SF ferry building (via
the SP mole which is now middle harbor shoreline park) in one direction and Alameda in the
other.
Also - apparently when the land where sudoroom stands was first subdivided as
"Wilcox Place" you could buy a lot for $900 gold coin..

http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss Hi all -
I wanted to ask a flash-mob like favor from folks coming to Sudo Room this evening. Over
the summer, several of us created the Sudo Square page at Foursquare
(https://foursquare.com/v/sudo-square/50074796e4b092cb5fe8c83d) and Facebook
(https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sudo-Square/351059718301717) as part of a plan to name the
plaza at the intersection of Broadway, 19th, & Franklin. Can you please check-in on
your way in?
It's a lovely day and the Punchdown (http://www.punchdownwine.com/) already put out
the outdoor table seating. I'll be hanging out there until the meeting and will remind
Sudo folk I see.
Given the democratization of nomenclature afforded by geo-located mobile computing, I
thought it most appropriate to have some kind of coordinated crowd in-checking initiative.
There are some pictures, but it's a placeholder so far. So far as we know (& the
Oakland Wiki folks could correct us), the square does not yet have a name.
So not just today - but anytime - when you're passing by 22nd & Broadway and
you're itching to check in on Facebook or Foursquare, or Yelp, or however it is you go
about telling the world instantaneously where you are - please check in at Sudo Square -
often and tell your friends about it too. I am also now trying to compile a list of the
existing sites & services use for geo-located check-in fun - so let me know if you
know of others.
Perhaps during one of the upcoming Art Murmurs - we can have an official check-in
dedication ceremony - we can invite the mayor.
