Hey sudo room!
Quick update bumping this thread — we ended up locking in Oakstop in Oakland for Saturday, May 9, so the Omni didn't work out timing/cost-wise, but grateful for the support and interest earlier this year.
The event is 10 days away and we'd still love Sudo Room's involvement in whatever form makes sense:
Add it to the Sudo Room / Omni calendar
Sudo room to sign on as a collaborating org and we'd list it on the reg page!
Cross-post to the list (done, with this email 😄)
Come propose a session — open-source, tech for community resilience, decentralized tools, mutual aid infrastructure — all deeply welcome threads
Put flyers down, posters up, etc!
🗓 Sat May 9 | Oakstop, Oakland
🎟 Register (sliding scale, work-trade available): events.humanitix.com/bay-delta-bioregional-unconference-for-regeneration
No one turned away for lack of funds — just reach out.
See you out there,
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!
much love,
ajay
