hehe, this isn't a system for noisebridge per-se. I'm asking the community of hackers for ideas about cool features for a general door access system. So, yes, logging is important to many people who might use this system. As is the ability to schedule times when certain people would have access (in the case of a business or school regulating when employees or students can have access to company or school resources).<br>

I think Ryan has a good point regarding privacy concerns for something like this. Perhaps the audit trail/logging feature should be Opt-in for users that want to leave the digital footprints. By default user privacy is respected, but if they want others to know when they are in the space then they could opt-in to triggering "door events". I can see "door events" being awesome hook-ins for door/entry related hacks or personalization of space, but some won't want the system to do anything besides get them into the space.<br>
<br>Robb, thanks for working on this. I'd love to be able to get into the space more easily. I also have some fun ideas that would benefit from "door events". When are you typically around working on this project (or others)?<br>

- Protects the user's privacy - do not allow anyone, including admins<br>
and root level users, the ability to log, track, audit, or otherwise<br>
track the movements of any/all users.<br>
