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, so that ideas and projects in areas such as citizen science, digital/online citizenship and literacy, community engagement, and government transparency may be exchanged and grow.

Sudo Room is committed to access, transparency, and public/social good. Sudoers have a great diversity of interests and we emphasize respect and solidarity among ourselves and with others.

==Plan==

===='''Current Critical Crisis'''====
We need to decide:
* How we make [[Sudo_room/decisions|decisions]].
* How we create [[Sudo_room/income|income]].

The legacy (needs updating) plan below is composed of: [[#Goals|goals]] (early mission/vision), [[#Constraints|constraints]], and [[#Approaches|approaches]].

===Goals===
* To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area, specifically in Oakland, CA.
* Establish a platform and space committed to:
** Citizen science
** Non-technical (humanities, social science, the environment/ environmental justice, arts, crafts, all the squishy stuff!) and technical knowledge (including transitions and bridges between the two)
*** Non-technical knowledge includes but is not limited to expertise in fields or disciplines that can be largely independent of technology. Also includes non-academic realms of knowledge.
** Digital/Online Citizenship
**: ''...to do something more with digital and network technology''
** Environmental sustainability
** Education and mentorship
** Community engagement
** Public access
* To become a center for active hacking projects but also a destination where speakers on the areas listed above may be hosted, and where folks may go for skill sharing classes

For examples, check out our list of potential [[Sudo room/projects|projects]] or read about ones we've shared on [http://sudoroom.org/category/projects/ our website].

===Towards Opening a Space: Considerations===
* BART train proximity and disability access are crucial location constraints.
* Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, Lake Merritt, and West Oakland areas.
* Open to consider warehouse spaces and office spaces.
* Business address, to get chemicals, supplies, etc.
* There are a few hackerspaces in the East Bay, some tied to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maker_culture/ Maker Culture], but there are various virtual and software emphases. Existent spaces:
** [[Ace Monster Toys]] - cool hackerspace with lots of tools and infrastructure. Definitely friends in the East Bay!
** [[The Crucible]]
** [[Ponoko - San Francisco, United States of America|Ponoko]]
** [http://techliminal.com/ Tech Liminal] (technology salon / coworking space; hosts [http://www.meetup.com/makesf/ Make:SF meetups])
** Who is [http://www.nimbyspace.org/ NIMBY space]?
** Who is [http://theholdout.org/ The Holdout]? (related to Occupy Oakland)
*** 2313 San Pablo Big green building (tag: no set feature)
*** Opportunity for [http://theholdout.org/collectives/ "Collectives"] to apply to share the space.
** Who is [http://bluedoorlab.com/ Blue Door Co-working Space]?

===Approaches===
* Build a community and group of members, grow our ideas together, and [[Sudo room/open a space|open a space]] before the end of 2012.
* Create online presence and communications infrastructure
** Utilize our [http://sudoroom.org/ website and blog] more effectively!
** Beg our artsy friends to fulfill our [[sudo room/design needs|design needs]].
** Make a video for [[Sudo room/funding opportunities#Crowd-funding|crowd-funding opportunities]]
* Hold weekly meetup / salon.
* Collect membership dues to start building a budget as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association Voluntary <nowiki>[</nowiki>membership<nowiki>]</nowiki> Association].
* Apply to relevant [[sudo room/funding opportunities|grants, fellowships, and various funding opportunities]].

173.164.250.233: /* What kinds of decisions need to be made? */

[[Sudo_room|<< back to Sudo Room]]

This is a shared knowledge commons on our options to make decisions with Sudo Room. This may be more complicated than options for [[Sudo_room|income]], so a template is provided, feel free to reject the template and use a free-form response below.

==Decision-Making Options==
===What kinds of decisions need to be made?===
# '''Membership.''' Do we have it? If so, what are the levels/ benefits/ rules of engagement & expectations?
# '''Project Endorsement.''' When does SudoRoom attach its name and "backing" to a project, if ever?
# '''Governance.''' How do we make decisions on behalf of SudoRoom? Are financially-concerned decisions different or do they involve a different group of people vs. other kinds?
# '''Activities''' (non-hacking). Will SudoRoom have speakers/ events/ classes? What system or structure do we put in place to facilitate this? Do others need to agree on any aspects of these "extracurricular" activities?

==Plan==

===='''Current Critical Crisis'''====
We need to decide:
* How we make [[Sudo_room/decisions|decisions]].
* How we create [[Sudo_room/income|income]].

The legacy (needs updating) plan below is composed of: [[#Goals|goals]] (early mission/vision), [[#Constraints|constraints]], and [[#Approaches|approaches]].

===Goals===
* To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area near San Francisco, CA, specifically in Oakland, CA.
* Establishing a platform and space committed to
** Citizen science
** Non-technical (humanities, social science, the environment/ environmental justice, arts, crafts, all the squishy stuff!) and technical knowledge (including transitions and bridges between the two)
*** Non-technical knowledge includes but is not limited to expertise in fields or disciplines that can be largely independent of technology. Also includes non-academic realms of knowledge.
** Digital/Online Citizenship
**: ''...to do something more with digital and network technology''
** Environmental sustainability
** Education and mentorship
** Community engagement
** Public access

For examples, check out our list of potential [[Sudo room/projects|projects]] or read about ones we've shared on [http://sudoroom.org/category/projects/ our website].

===Constraints===
* BART train proximity and disability access are crucial location constraints.
* Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, Lake Merritt, and West Oakland areas.
* Open to consider warehouse spaces and office spaces.
* Business address, to get chemicals, supplies, etc.
* There are a few hackerspaces in the East Bay, some tied to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maker_culture/ Maker Culture], but there are various virtual and software emphases. Existent spaces:
** [[Ace Monster Toys]] - cool hackerspace with lots of tools and infrastructure. Definitely friends in the East Bay!
** [[The Crucible]]
** [[Ponoko - San Francisco, United States of America|Ponoko]]
** [http://techliminal.com/ Tech Liminal] (technology salon / coworking space; hosts [http://www.meetup.com/makesf/ Make:SF meetups])
** Who is [http://www.nimbyspace.org/ NIMBY space]?
** Who is [http://theholdout.org/ The Holdout]? (related to Occupy Oakland)
*** 2313 San Pablo Big green building (tag: no set feature)
*** Opportunity for [http://theholdout.org/collectives/ "Collectives"] to apply to share the space.
** Who is [http://bluedoorlab.com/ Blue Door Co-working Space]?

===Approaches===
* Build a community and group of members, grow our ideas together, and [[Sudo room/open a space|open a space]] over the next 6 mo. - 1 year.
* Create online presence and communications infrastructure
** Utilize our [http://sudoroom.org/ website and blog] more effectively!
** Beg our artsy friends to fulfill our [[sudo room/design needs|design needs]].
** Make a video for [[Sudo room/funding opportunities#Crowd-funding|crowd-funding opportunities]]
* Hold weekly meetup / salon.
* Collect membership dues to start building a budget as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association Voluntary <nowiki>[</nowiki>membership<nowiki>]</nowiki> Association].
* Apply to relevant [[sudo room/funding opportunities|grants, fellowships, and various funding opportunities]].
