| === What is Sudoroom? ===
| |
| | |
| We're a free & open community space for hackers, artists, activists and '''''YOU!'''''
| |
| | |
| === What's a hackerspace? ===
| |
| | |
| Watch this KQED Video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamwklXWK4M Open Source Creativity: Hackerspaces]:
| |
| <blockquote>"It's not easy to say what a hackerspace is exactly. You know it when you're in one, but they're all unique because people are so unique."<br />—Mitch Altman of [https://www.noisebridge.net/ Noisebridge]</blockquote>

| === What does "sudo" mean? ===
| |
| | |
| [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo Sudo] is a software command that stands for "super user do". It's pronounced "sue-dough" or "sue-due".
| |
| | |
| === Who can go there? ===
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| To check if we're open, you can call our phone number: (510) 858-7145
| |
| | |
| Much of our space is wheelchair-accessible via a large elevator. Some parts are wheelchair-inaccessible due to being narrow and cluttered.
| |
| | |
| Young children need to be supervised by a guardian. We don't have childcare available. Sorry!
| |
| | |
| === Can I have an event there? ===
| |
| | |
| Maybe! We love events like these:
| |
| * For a good cause
| |
| * Local, community-based
| |
| * Disability accessible
| |
| * Free, sliding scale, pay what you can, donation-based, nobody turned away
| |
| | |
| We don't like events like these:
| |
| * Pay-walled
| |
| * Socially oppressive
| |
| * Corporate or military sponsored
| |
| | |
| To make an event:
| |
| * If you are a member - use do-ocracy:
| |
| **Check the [https://sudoroom.org/calendar/ calendar] for conflicts
| |
| **Create a [https://sudoroom.org/wp-login.php?action=register Wordpress account]
| |

| |
| ** Get approval at one of our [https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/weekly-meetup-2/ weekly general meetings]. Showing up in person is preferred. But if you can't make it you can ask for the action to happen over the sudo-discuss listserve and the item will still be considered at the meeting - only no one will be there to answer any questions.
| |
| | |
| We can promote your event on our [https://sudoroom.org/blog blog], [https://twitter.com/sudoroom twitter], etc. Just ask!

| Existing members can block you if they know you to be a violent, malicious or otherwise problematic person, but this is rare.
| |
| | |
| === 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.
| |
| | |
| === What's your legal structure? ===
| |
| | |
| It's still evolving. Here's some history:
| |

| |
| * In early 2012, we agreed to an [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]].
