Also, when I think Hacker Space, I think of a big (or small) space where people can come and work on projects, either by themselves but in the presence of others, or with a group. There may be some tools and stuff. You pay money per month for use of the space.</p>

But on Sudo Room, there is a lot about social justice and etc etc etc. This is great! But not what I guess I think about when I think about "hacker space", and if I were to be honest not really what I'd be interested in going to a "hacker space" for.</p>

So... what is Sudo Room really?</p><p style="margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:5px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">

So it seems like most of us have political interests, which I think Sudo Room should definitely have room for, however I think to be inclusive of everyone it should be separate from the hackerspace as an organization. Or somehow balance the two so that people like this are interested in joining us. What do you all think?</p>
