[Noisebridge-discuss] a doorcode is now required to let people into noisebridge

the button upstairs which is labeled DOOR, and causes the downstairs door 
to open by electrical signal, has been non-functional for months now.

the numeric keypad above it has been, up until now, configured to open the 
door when any button is pressed.  However, that intermediate period has 
come to a close.

At this time, if you are upstairs and want to let someone in, someone who 
is downstairs and ringing the doorbell, you can no longer simply press a 
random button on the keypad to let them in.

To open the gate from upstairs at noisebridge, you need to type in a code 
to the upstairs keypad.  (just like you type a code into the payphone to 
get in).

You can also use the Android app available here:

there is also a URL that you can access (when you're inside noisebridge) 
to open the door.  I don't know what it is.

If you have any questions about this, or if you don't have a code and want 
one, you can email me, or leif, or tom, or danny, or anyone you want.

It is hoped that this new arrangement will make it more likely that when 
people who are new to noisebridge, and ringing the doorbell, will be let 
in by someone who is familiar with Noisebridge culture, and cares about 
them as an individual, and will introduce themselves and the space when 
the new person comes up the stairs after being let in.

enjoy!
