Welcome to the Sudo Room wiki! Please make a user name and contribute to the conversation!

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.

Want to learn more about Sudo Room? Check out our FAQ or read about Access. You are welcome to drop by (we try to be open as much as possible), or attend our weekly meetings to learn more about the space, meet awesome people, and participate in our emergent community.

Our weekly general meetings take place every Wednesday from 7-9pm at 2141 Broadway St., Oakland, CA (near 19th St BART).
