In this last East bay express there was an article "Hacking local in
Hayward" about a new hackerspaces Hayhackers. The article emphasizes their
young education aspects. Then a quote from Christina Depulta on other East
bay hackerspaces :
"they're either young singles or techies and software engineers or mothers
with children. We wanted to have a space for everybody. "
Do you think this is a valid rubric for a hackerspace's demographic, and
does sudo fit into one category? I wonder if having that kind of all
inclusive space is even a fantasy holy grail?
Just pondering the current state of our sudo-populous as we've now come to
be a reference point for new hackerspaces to judge themselves by.

Sounds like what they are doing is great. I know AMT has(had?) Hacker
Scouts. And Sudo Room at one time had some kid programs. This seems to be a
growing idea, that "hacker spaces" can be a way to help counter our failed
public school system. While I don't think its the only solution. Its a good
start. Anything that gets kids out of fucked up schools and into spaces
that are actually focused on learning, creating, and challenging the status
quo gets a thumbs up from me.

I believe that was a mis-attributed quote and was said by Carolyn Lunger of
Hay Hackers, rather than Christina Depulta.
I've interacted with Carolyn and her husband John on numerous occasions
since they started Hay Hackers. I believe the Hayward community is in
desperate need of communal creative space, demonstrated by the crew
currently organizing Hay Hackers. At this point, my understanding is that
their membership and supporters are especially concerned with accessibility
for families, since all-age participation is seen as a primary mode of life
for many residents of Hayward.
I think Carolyn is speaking from her experience at Sudo Room, Ace Monster
Toys, and Mothership Hackermoms. I also think it's true that those three
places (including sudo) do not have many members who incorporate the whole
family.

Yes, I do. There are married hackers, and married hackers with
children. And unmarried hackers with children. Not all hackerspaces
are child-friendly, especially not by design, so such an effort is a
good idea, I think. Additionally, if they're successful I hope they
publish what they did to the Hackerspaces wiki so that other
hackerspaces who are looking to make that change will have an idea of
how to go about it.
