[Noisebridge-discuss] Problem: people seeing NB as a backup shelter

[daravinne]

that was my initial suggestion when i floated the idea of putting in a
keypad.  another key part of that idea was putting the keypad at the TOP OF
THE STAIRS (not outside the gate).

let me repeat that: the keypad needs to go AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.

of course everyone who ran with the idea put the stupid thing outside the
gate, and it was a dumb idea and i had to disinvolve myself because they
were fucking it up.

the reason it needs to go at the top of the stairs is so it will not affect
access to the rest of the building (let's not forget we are not the only
tenants who use that downstairs gate) and it will allow people to look
through the porthole and see who is even there in the first place.  it
would probably be relatively trivial to just move the current keypad to the
top of the stairs and set up a timed lock mechanism.
