=== What is Sudoroom? ===
=== What is Sudoroom? ===


We're a free & open community space for hackers, artists, activists and '''''YOU!'''''
We are a hackerspace in Oakland, California.

When Sudoroom is open, anybody can go. You don't have to be a member. All you have to do is respect our space, and respect others! Sudoroom is open most of the time.
Sudoroom is currently only open to members and guests. In a few months (fall 2014) we hope to be open to the public again. Please contact us if you'd like to be a guest. :)


When Sudoroom is closed, you need an access code. Members have access codes. This usually only happens very late at night, or early in the morning.
We have quiet hours from 10pm-10am.


To check if we're open, you can call our phone number: (510) 858-7145
Soon our new space will have a phone number that you can call.


Much of our space is wheelchair-accessible via a large elevator. Some parts are wheelchair-inaccessible due to being narrow and cluttered.
We are wheelchair accessible.

=== What does membership mean? ===
=== What does membership mean? ===


It means you can vote in consensus decisions, you have your own access code, and you can be alone in the space.
If you are a member then you can participate in our consensus decision-making procedure—the way sudo room acts.
 
It also means you can have your own access code, which means you can let yourself into the space.

=== Can I store X at sudoroom ===
You can put a useful tool or some hacker ore neatly at sudoroom. Once you put something out at sudo and unless it says "do not hack on it" (and even then) there is no guarantee as to what will happen. You can however also rent a locker at sudo if you need private space, it is $25 per month.
=== When is sudo room open? ===
Sudo room doesn't have official hours. If you are a member you can get 24-hour access to let yourself in. If you are not a member, you will have to depend on at least one other member being there to let you in, and you would be their guest.
Typically there people at sudo room from 11am to 2am (or later 4am) most days of the week - but no guarantees.
Soon we will have a phone number you can call.
=== Can you fix my iPhone/iPad/Android Phone/Tablet/Laptop/other Device? ===
Complicated. Sudo room does not offer fix-it services. You can come to sudo room, use all our tools, and ask for help in fixing it yourself. Maybe a nice sudoer - and there are some nice sudoers - will help point you in the right direction or explain something that that youtube DIY fixing video didn't go over. If you want to find someone that might be able to help online you can contact the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss high-traffic mailing list]. In general there are no guarantees, but if you are dedicated you can learn to fix your own iBad.
=== Can you help me with Software Problem X? ===
Basically this is the same question as [[#Can you fix my iPhone/iPad/Android Phone/Tablet/Laptop/other Device?]]. Maybe, you'll have to find someone willing to help, which is possible, maybe on the mailing lists or IRC.
