yes, please contribute! i echo echo echo (get it? no? not funny? :)) matt's sentiment that the dream for a map like this would be for it to be more widely used...

I was hoping this map might one day reach a global audience / usership. 

For now, having one map for the east bay sounds pretty smart. There are easy ways to tag and categorize items, e.g. a "bio" tag could be those that also meet the requirements of a "DIYbio" group?

I'll give you credentials Patrik, but no need to wait submitting--that can be done immediately.

Hi sudoers!

As you know, the East Bay DIYbio group is hunting for a location as well, and some of the larger spaces we're finding might be suitable for a joint effort - possibly DIYbio + sudoroom + AMT + whomever else.

Would you mind if we start adding spaces to the crowdmap as well? If so, is there a way to use different colored icons perhaps? We are looking in a somewhat wider geographical area - North Berkeley down to South Oakland, and possibly a bit farther from BART than sudo room might be willing to tolerate. But there should be a substantial overlap in Oakland at least.

What do you think? Alternatively, we could also just set up a separate crowdmap for DIYbio spaces. But I figure there's definitely an advantage in displaying both sets of locations on the same map.

Ryan and Jenny are excellent! We went biking and found more places for sudo room's future decision-making!
Please add more reports (choose at least one):
(a) tweet the address and details (e.g. a phone number) @sudoroom
(i) You can also set up twitter to post via text message to 40404 if you don't have a data plan with your phone--ask me for details! ;)
(b) send an email with the same info to info@sudoroom.org
(d) download a mobile app (though the new android app crashed for me >.<)

You can also help by:
(a) Calling some of the existing listings, coordinate by replying to this message!
(b) Offering to review old listings that might still be available!
(c) Trolling Craigslist and other websites with spaces for rent / lease.
(e) Organize another bike-about to find more locations!

The crowdmap platform released a new version of their software today, but we can use the "classic" mode likely through 2013, with options to migrate and such before then.

I have backups just in case, and we can back more data up as we add to it.
