* '''Where is Sudo Room and how do I get in?'''
: Sudo Room is located at [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?query=2141%20broadway%2C%20oakland%2C%20ca 2141 Broadway] in downtown Oakland. The entrance to Sudo Room is on 22nd St. (West of Broadway). There is a sign on the sidewalk that says Sudo Room. To get in, hit the buzzer to the left of the entrance by the Sudo Room sign ([[Projects/Door_Access#Sudo_Door_Intercom| and a friendly sudoer will answer and let you in!]]). We are upstairs and the easiest way to get upstairs is to take the elevator at the end of the hallway. Full info on where we are and how to get in (with screenshots!) [[Getting_There | here]].<BR>

:As of Dec. 2012, we are solving a few technical problems relating to the outside door, so unfortunately the space is not open all the time. People are usually in the space most evenings and weekends. We are also here for any events (check our [http://sudoroom.org/calendar/ Calendar] for events). Before we fully solve our access issues, the space is open when another member is here to let you in. To get in, ring the buzzer at the 22nd St. entrance (see [[Getting There | here]]) and if someone is here, they will open the door. To find out ahead of time whether someone is here, the best place to ask is in our [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sudoroom chatroom]. Alternately, you can email the [mailto:sudoroom@lists.hackerspaces.org listserv] and ask if someone is at the space.

:The primary benefit of being a member is '''ensuring that Sudo Room exists'''. Access to the space and to all the Sudo Room resources is one of our core values, so everyone is able to access the space and use our resources whether they are a member or not. However, members have guaranteed access to the space and Sudo Room assets. For more information on member benefits, see our [Compact | Articles of Association].
