Unless I missed something, I think the discussion about this last item has
not settled yet. Leave it at 11:00 for
now until we have come to a conclusion.

I have not understood Patricks original comment, but I don't think he meant
that
anybody can create a token.

Leave that at 11 for now until we have consensus. Also in winter-time, this
might
be pretty late.

Check with Patrick and Torrie, I think they were working on some 'is open'
indicator somewhere.
(also 'open' in your case means 'open with RFID' or something)

(At least it is a neat thing from the hack-perspective.
Most peoples schedule is actually not related to sunrise, so it just makes
it
harder to reason when the space is open.)

I'll meet with Kevin on Monday evening and chat about implementing a web
