<p>very much so - La Commune cafe/bookstore is going to stock them with books to be sold as one of their core functions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>relevant proposal from La Commune on the schedule for tonight's delegate meeting:</p>
<p>http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Preparing_To_Be_Open</p>
<p> </p>
<p>there were objections raised to restricting access as specified in the proposal:</p>
<h3><span id="After-Hours_Access" class="mw-headline">"After-Hours Access</span></h3>
<p>As per the section on Hours, the Omni will close to the public at 6pm. La Commune will also be closed at that time, which means that the 48th & Shattuck door will not be usable. The Omni will still be available to members of its collectives, including those, like Sudo Room, that require 24-hour access, through the side door on 48th Street. This door will be the after-hours access. Members will be furnished either with a key (following a lock-change at the Omni's expense) or a magnetic card or fob (if an appropriate access system can be developed). We will ensure that the fire codes are followed and particularly that fire egress is possible after-hours. Those members present after-hours are requested not to use closed spaces.</p>
<p>Opening to the general public every day of the week is a great fulfillment of the Omni's mission to be a radical social commons. Let us make strong decisions now about how we receive the public, so that this wonderful project can most fully flourish."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>La Commune needs to be able to prevent book theft and any interference in the operation of the cafe so there is definitely a need to come up with a creative solution to the access vs security problem at hand. I indicated that sudoers might be available to help La Commune build localized access control infrastructure in the interest of preserving a thoroughfare in the cafe area to sudo/ccl, the ADA restroom, and the ballroom. I encourage everyone to read through, discuss, and give feedback to our delegate for tonight's ooc delegates' meeting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cheers,</p>
