Doors be left open?

• craig: helps to leave it open due to lighting
• paul: why not just get some nightlights
• most people feel like it would be better to leave them locked (the double doors)
• kris: vote?
• starbuck: why wouldn't we leave it unlocked?
  • because random people could come in that way during the day
• night lights or motion detect lights
• vote: leave it locked when we are not here

vending drinks

• honor system donation in the can
• recommended donation for can of pop: 50 cents?

• review other hackerspaces procedures for more...
