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

[Patrick Keys]

Its the "genius of the AND" not the "tyranny of the OR".  It's not a 
matter of "lockers OR shelves".  It's a matter of "lockers AND shelves". 
   You get a new option.  Before, you just had shelves.  Now you get a 
second option, lockers.

More bullet points...
* using a locker is optional.  we still have the shelves.  if you don't 
like the lockers then don't use them.  to each his own.
* putting a lock on a locker is optional.  if you don't like locks, then 
don't use one.  to each his own.
* to clarify, we don't have room in the current shelf area for either 
lockers or more shelves.  some shelves would need to be moved.
* the extra shelves could be re-purposed as more hack shelves, which 
also seem necessary given all the stuff on the floor by the hack shelves.
* the lockers are flat on the back so my plan is lockers on one side 
with shelves up against them back-to-back.
* We can't get these until next week anyway because the guy is too busy 
to deliver them (i just talked with him on the phone again)
* we'd likely get an even 4 lockers because the shelves are side-by-side 
2-at-a-time.

Moxie's comment about aesthetics is also an important point.  Lockers 
would add some serious aesthetic value to Noisebridge.  We could 
spraypaint a giant mural on them, put stickers on them, add l.e.d.'s, 
etc.  So the lockers have value beyond the interior space.
