[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] someone is stealing things at sudoroom / the omni

[niki]

Thank you, Marc - this is more the direction I was pointed in but you
articulated it.

I'm not actually suggesting that La Commune should be locked up, I was
mostly hoping to reinitiate the conversation around maintaining as much
open-ness of the space as possible (albeit, in a not very convincing way).

Perhaps more lockers / a members-only locked cabinet in Sudo for expensive
/ fragile equipment? We've discussed lockers for Omni members, in general -
I know Patrik has been on the look out.

Also - for the record, TIL has offered use of their space for Omni admin
work and storage of important documents as a way to better share it with
the community.
