[Noisebridge-discuss] lockers for noisebridge - big enough? funding?

[jim]

    well, patrick's offering to spend his own money 
and is hoping some of us will chip in to pay him at 
least some of the cost. 
    as to space, seems to me the discussion has been 
going in different directions, e.g. the suggestion 
that we might install some lockers on the "outsides" 
of the walls of the two classrooms. this was brought 
up as something to build. 
    Buying one or more sets of these things would be 
less trouble, less mess, and more storage for those 
who want it; also, seems to me a fairly efficient 
use of space, narrow footprint that accommodates a 
bunch of people's stuffs, specially if propped up 
along the classroom walls.
    Doesn't seem like a consensus item to me, given 
all the other stuff that goes on and has gone on.
