Thank you!!! Hello all! It’s June! Reading groups are in full swing, as is our current season of artist Cohort groups! We have some fun events on the horizon too. But before we get into that I want to say thanks to everyone who came out to our first ever fundraiser party on May 15th! It was so fun to see everyone and to have such a truly community-centered event. We had lots of help from Beo Beo for snacks, Quirk Social for drinks, and from rad volunteers the night of the event! Thanks again to our performers, Quinn Edlin, Nightjars, and Kim Ip! And thanks to all the artists/chefs/performers/publishers/friends (Jenny Odell, David Horvitz, Brittany Newell, Alexis Madrigal, Vivian Sming, Sean Talley, Marcel Pardo Ariza, and Gracie Schatz) who donated prizes! Thanks to all your support, we raised just about $5000, which will go to our programs, residencies, publishing projects and library! JUNE MINIMAG IS OUT! This issue is so good! We have new writing from Emily Kramer and Coco Picard, plus an interview with Aleah (the creator of TENDER zine), rad collaborative artworks created by our minimag team, and as always, a busy bay area events calendar. Pick one up next time you’re at the library, or let us know if you’d like us to bring a stack to host at your space/gallery/workplace/etc. And join us this Thursday for a casual release event from 6-8pm! SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN for our upcoming issues! Send reviews (of anything!), interviews, artworks, and events!

by Laurie Stoerkel

Hey Gang! The newly renovated theater in the Omni commons is presenting - The House of Bernarda Alba - Would you like to go together? So far about 5 of us have signed up. I'm organizing this "Field Trip" because I think it would be fun for us to do something social together, and also as a way for sudo room to get to know our new neighbors and vice versa Normally tickets are $40 and up. But they also have a policy of offering discounted tickets ($10) upon special request. Here's my number (510) 809-5993 if you want to go Preferably make arrangements in advance, but if you just show up on Thursday then I'm pretty sure we can work something out. https://oaklandtheaterproject.org/house

HCCI is eager to invest in collaborations that are: - Developing concrete solutions to expand equity and opportunity. - Working collaboratively to tackle critical local issues, including our priority areas of health, education, and equitable opportunities. - Advancing ambitious goals by engaging across sectors, including the public sector, private sector, and academia. - Launching and piloting innovative strategies OR building momentum and scaling proven solutions for sustainable systems change.

ExChromebook Installfest; tomorrow at Straycap

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: StrayCap Multispace (https://www.straycap.org/) in Hayward is gathering up expired school system Chromebooks to convert to Linux; they’ve got hundreds on hand at the moment. (See https://bit.ly/cbsave for background.) We’re going to join forces with local Linux enthusiasts tomorrow (Saturday May 9) noon-3pm for a combo Open House / ExChromebook Installfest; we’ll work together to convert and reconfigure Chromebooks into “ExChromebooks” while asking: how can we best re-purpose these in our communities to improve digital literacy, digital sovereignty, digital inclusion, digital equity? You’re welcome to take some ExChromebooks home to experiment with or to give to anyone else you know who could use one. (Fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/zMJjTxmQPj8ZvaJ39) You’re also most welcome to bring your repair projects to work on and get help with. Please RSVP at http://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup so we can get a head count (select "2026-05-09 USA-CA-Hawyard ExChromebook Installfest at StrayCap Noon" from the pulldown menu.) Feel free to bring your repair-inclined or tech-inclined friends, or tell them about it, especially if they live in or around Hayward; StrayCap's a half a block from the Hayward Main Library (and a seven minute walk from Hayward BART.) Hope to see you there, -Peter

Yes that's the current URL to join online.

I'm reaching out to see if you might be open to co-hosting theExodus Tourin Oakland.

Are you open to a quick chat next week to discuss if this could be a good fit for your space? If not, no worries at all. In that case, please let us know so we can adjust our outreach list.

Weekends at sudo room

by Juliana A

Is there anyone going on weekends at sudo room? I looked at the calendar and I dont see any event. I would like to visit sometimes but I dont have time to go on weekdays. If anyone with access is going, let me know if possible to coordinate my entrance. Possibly, I'd be open to host on some weekends. It's kinda sad to have the space closed when a bunch of people would have more availability on weekends. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com she/her
