Obviously that would be a feature of the system at some point, but keeping someone out of the space is more of an organizational question than a technical one.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Theft and vandalism suck, and we want to avoid it, but the truth is that there is no way to really make it 100% impossible for someone to be malicious if they want to. I would hope that sense we run a pretty open space there wouldn't really be a desire to say steal some valuable if they could just come and use it whenever they wanted to. But that's no excuse for poor security, I know..</div>

<div><br></div><div>The door lock is kinda sticky. You can get the right password on the right URL and hear the mechanism trying to do its thing, but the lock doesn't fully unlock. The trick is to push the door closed tighter while the lock turns. </div>

If we have people in the space MOST of the time, then there is a lower need for security. With an often empty space, there's maybe more of a risk of theft, vandalism or other nastiness.</div>
