=We're meshing at the Omni!= | |||
It's been a crazily active summer - apologies for the lack of updates! Sudo Room (and by extension, Sudo Mesh) has relocated to the [http://omni-oakland.org Omni Oakland Commons] at 4799 Shattuck. We're excited to be a founding member collective among an array of groups that have moved in together to create a radical commons in Oakland. | |||

If you've been wanting to plug in and help out, or simply reconnect to the group, tonight is a great night to come by and check out the new space! | |||
