There is already some talk and ideas floating around on the wiki - https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php/AccessSystem

I'm also interested in helping with / following along with the implementation of this.
I'm in favor of having some flavor of a pseudo-anonymous access control for the space.

It sounds like finding some of the actual hardware for the system needs to be done first.

Cheers,
jonathan
