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, environmental sustainability, community engagement, and government transparency may be exchanged and grow.

===Towards Opening a Space: Considerations===
* 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maker_culture/ Maker Culture], but there are various virtual and software emphases. Existent spaces:
** [[Ace Monster Toys]] - cool hackerspace with lots of tools and infrastructure. Definitely friends in the East Bay!
** [[The Crucible]]
** [[Ponoko - San Francisco, United States of America|Ponoko]]
** [http://techliminal.com/ Tech Liminal] (technology salon / coworking space; hosts [http://www.meetup.com/makesf/ Make:SF meetups]) [[Tech Liminal and Sudo Room]]

** Who is [http://theholdout.org/ The Holdout]? (related to Occupy Oakland)
*** 2313 San Pablo Big green building (tag: no set feature)
*** Opportunity for [http://theholdout.org/collectives/ "Collectives"] to apply to share the space.
