Liberating Ourselves Locally is a makerspace/hackerspace in the Fruitvale district of Oakland, California.[1] It is part of the Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces (BACH).[2]

LOL! is a place where people can learn new skills, from soldering to video game design,[3][4] and operates on the principle that members of the local community can be involved in all aspects of creating things that sustain people, such as food, clothing, energy, technology, shelter, and art.
