[Noisebridge-discuss] key access for non-signers

[jim]

   audrey has a very good point that people are 
enthusiastic now; frustration will likely turn 
those feelings sour. something should be done 
quickly. 
   on the other hand, "if we can't trust each 
other..." seems premature: i bet most of us 
should get to know each other better. 

   al's suggestion to clarify and codify the 
members process and dues schedule seems very 
important. i second the tho't, and if i can, 
third it and fourth it. 
   certainly those who get a key should be 
willing to have it recorded so, along with 
their names and addresses and phones and 
emails.... 

   seems that those who want to work in the 
place to get it workable might be the first 
set to get keys. 
   Give it a few days to see how that sorts
out, then pass out some more keys to those 
with immediate plans to work. 
   might be smart to keep an eye out for what 
kinds of problems might arise. 
   some kind of card reader for the door 
seems a good idea, a matter addressing wear 
of the mechanical lock.
