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, so that ideas and projects in areas such as citizen science, digital/online citizenship and literacy, community engagement, and government transparency may be exchanged and grow.
Sudo Room is committed to access, transparency, and public/social good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.

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, so that ideas and projects in areas such as citizen science, digital/online citizenship and literacy, community engagement, and government transparency may be exchanged and grow.

Sudo Room is committed to access, transparency, and public/social good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.

Read and Inform a potential methodology for Sudo Room.

Plan

Current Critical Crisis

We need to decide:

The legacy (needs updating) plan below is composed of: goals (early mission/vision), constraints, and approaches.

Goals

  • To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area near San Francisco, CA, specifically in Oakland, CA.
  • Establishing a platform and space committed to
    • Citizen science
    • 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)
      • 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.
    • Digital/Online Citizenship
      ...to do something more with digital and network technology
    • Environmental sustainability
    • Education and mentorship
    • Community engagement
    • Public access

For examples, check out our list of potential projects or read about ones we've shared on our website.

Constraints

  • BART train proximity and disability access are crucial location constraints.
  • Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, Lake Merritt, and West Oakland areas.
  • Open to consider warehouse spaces and office spaces.
  • Business address, to get chemicals, supplies, etc.
  • There are a few hackerspaces in the East Bay, some tied to Maker Culture, but there are various virtual and software emphases. Existent spaces:
