Welcome to the Sudo Room wiki! Please make a user name and contribute to the conversation!
Sudo Room is an open membership, non-hierarchical, collaborative community of people who are interested in working towards social change. Our goal is to create an inclusive, dedicated hackerspace in downtown Oakland, and to collaborate on 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 good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.
Learn more about the space, meet awesome people, and participate in our emergent community! Drop by for a visit (just about) any time, or come to our weekly general meetings, taking place every Wednesday from 7-9pm at 2141 Broadway St., Oakland, CA (near 19th St BART).

Projects, Meetups and Events
Today I Learned series
Every Saturday, Sudo Room hosts suuuper fascinating workshops and classes!
This Saturday's event is an ice cream workshop put on by Ray the Ice Cream Man, a professional ice cream-maker. He will be teaching us the history and botany of the vanilla plant, and the chemistry behind a special type of vanilla extraction technique. Participants will be able to sample a very special ice cream and take home a pint of the ice cream they make during the class.
Read details at the main TiL page!
