<blockquote>''Sudo Room is an open, non-hierarchical, collaborative community of humans, including tech developers, citizen scientists, activists, artists--and all combinations in between and beyond!--who are interested in and working towards social change. Our goal is to create the first inclusive, dedicated hackerspace in downtown Oakland, to share ideas and projects in citizen science, digital citizenship and literacy, environmental sustainability, community engagement, and self-government. Sudo Room is committed to access, empowerment, transparency, and public/social good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.''</blockquote><br />

====Sub-Section 3.6.1 Budgeting====<br />
'''sudo room''' employs a transparent, and collaborative budgeting process that attempts to reflect the shared values of all members as articulated by the group's purpose. The budget is located (insert link here). It is managed through the following procedure each month:<br />
<br />
# Determine if membership dues can be reduced<br />
# Transparently prioritize budget allocations. (In no particular order) allocate income to match expenditures, contribute to standing funds, and determine remaining surplus<br />
# Any surpluses that remains will be divided based on member contribution and treated as ''internal credits'' (or a ''soft dividend'') available for members to:<br />
## Leave to the discretion of '''sudo room''' to allocate<br />
## Allocate in the budget, at the member's discretion, to various available '''internal projects''' as defined below.<br />
## Provide as future contributions to membership dues.<br />
* '''Note:''' there is a substantial distinction for ''external projects'' as defined below.<br />
<br />
* To ensure stability, '''sudo room''' must maintain several standing funds:<br />
** 3 months worth of rent + utilities<br />
** Rainy Day fund (for emergency expenditures)<br />
** Maintenance fund (for necessary infrastructure replacements)<br />
** Operations fund (for necessary, small operational expenditures)<br />
<br />
====Sub-Section 3.6.2 Income====<br />
'''sudo room''' accrues income through several sources, including events, crowd-funding initiatives, and membership dues.<br />
<br />

The recommended monthly dues for members is calculated as follows:<br />
* dues = average over all members of ( 1 month's overhead + a % of any defecit in each standing fund + a risk premium (min. 5% of all other dues components)<br />
** For instance, early on, overhead could be (rent + utilities + services), in which case dues = (500 + 100 + 20 + (10 + 5 + 0 + 10) + 64) / 23 = $30.83 per member<br />
<br />
====Sub-Section 3.6.4 Expenditures====<br />
* Internal Projects<br />
** Infrastructure, maintenance and improvements.<br />
** Capital Projects<br />
* External Projects<br />
** Not funded this way. Use alternative methods, such as through discounts or crowd-funding opportunities offered as Benefits above.<br />
====Sub-Section 3.6.5 Surplus====<br />
'''sudo room''' strives to maintain a zero-sum budget, in which there is no surplus.<br />

#* At least 1 week before the meeting at which a vote on the amendment will be held<br />
# Recieving feedback and commentary posted:<br />
#* On the official '''sudo room''' wiki.<br />
#* On the official '''sudo room''' anonymous etherpad: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom<br />
#* On any '''sudo room''' email list.<br />
# Adding an agenda item to an official meeting's agenda.<br />
#* The agenda item includes time to review the feedback, recieve in-person feedback, and discuss.<br />
#*'''Decision procedure:''' Consensus<br />
<br />
===Section 4.2 Dissolution / Termination of Association===<br />
Dissolution must be proposed in the same manner as all other amendments to these articles. For clarity, the decision procedure will use '''consensus'''.</div>Lenhttps://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association/Draft&diff=1674Articles of Association/Draft2013-01-03T02:45:25Z<p>Len: /* Article 1.

<div>people are horrible drivers. people run red lights, make left turns, and hit other peoples friends. this is not cool.<br />
<br />
solution: conversion kits for normal cars to turn them into self-driving autonomous cars.<br />
<br />
initial prototype suggestion: hack the electrical system of a car and make it move digitally.<br />
<br />
google created a self-driving car, so its possible. they, however, will take a very long time to bring it to market, if ever. lets speed things up.<br />

<div>Welcome to the Sudo Room wiki! Please make a user name and contribute to the conversation! <br />
<br />
<blockquote>''Sudo Room is an open, non-hierarchical, collaborative community of humans, including tech developers, citizen scientists, activists, artists--and all combinations in between and beyond!--who are interested in and working towards social change. Our goal is to create the first inclusive, dedicated hackerspace in downtown Oakland, to share ideas and projects in citizen science, digital citizenship and literacy, environmental sustainability, community engagement, and self-government. Sudo Room is committed to access, empowerment, transparency, and public/social good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.''</blockquote><br />
<br />
Anyone interested in learning more about Sudo Room, meeting awesome people, and participating in our emergent community is welcome to attend! <br><br><br />
<blockquote><big>''Our weekly planning meetings take place every '''Wednesday''' from '''7-9pm''' at [https://maps.google.com/maps?q=2141+Broadway+St,+oakland,+ca 2141 Broadway St., Oakland, CA] (near 19th St BART).''</big></blockquote><br>Can't attend? Read our [[Meeting Minutes]]. <br><br><br />
<br />
==Goals==<br />
[[Sudo_room/methodology|Read and Inform a potential methodology for Sudo Room.]]<br />
* To found a creative community hacker space in the East Bay, specifically in Oakland, CA.<br />
* Establish a platform and space committed to:<br />
** Citizen science<br />
** Democratic Culture<br />
** Access to Knowledge<br />
** Freedom to Connect<br />
** Non-technical (humanities, social science, the environment/ environmental justice, arts, crafts, all the squishy stuff!) and technical knowledge (including transitions and bridges between the two) -- <br />
*** the useful arts & sciences? <br />
*** information, data, knowledge, wisdom? <br />
*** memes, genes, bits, and atoms?<br />
*** Non-technical knowledge includes but is not limited to expertise in fields or disciplines that can be largely independent of technology. Also includes non-academic realms of knowledge.<br />
** Digital/Online Citizenship - Netizen Rights & Freedoms<br />
** Doing stuff to make our community openly accessible.<br />
**: ''...to do something more with digital and network technology''<br />
** Environmental sustainability<br />
** Education and mentorship<br />
** Community engagement<br />
** Public access<br />
* To become a center for active hacking projects but also a destination where speakers on the areas listed above may be hosted, and where folks may go for skill sharing classes<br />
<br />
For examples, check out our list of potential [[Sudo room/projects|projects]] or read about ones we've shared on [http://sudoroom.org/category/projects/ our website].<br />
<br />

** Utilize our [http://sudoroom.org/ website and blog] more effectively!<br />
** Beg our artsy friends to fulfill our [[sudo room/design needs|design needs]].<br />
** Make a video for [[Sudo room/funding opportunities#Crowd-funding|crowd-funding opportunities]]<br />
* Hold weekly meetup / salon.<br />
* Collect membership dues to start building a budget as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association Voluntary <nowiki>[</nowiki>membership<nowiki>]</nowiki> Association].<br />
