Hi Niki! I meant to respond when you sent a message like this awhile ago, regarding someone who refused to properly close the door after opening it. Before I talk about the technical situation, which I believe applies to this problem, I want to try to answer your specific question. The procedure for granting door access, when I do it, is by demonstrating how the unlocking and re-locking procedure works, and making sure people understand that they must re-lock the door after opening it. But of course sometimes people will forget, or worse, actively shirk their duty to re-lock the door. In the latter case, if a person refuses your request to re-lock the door they unlocked, I will electronically revoke their access until they explain themselves at the appropriate meeting. This would also be appropriate for people who repeatedly forget to re-lock the door after themselves. We have been working on the door technology a lot this last week, improving reliability. But we have been holding back on adding features because I understand that we are very close to replacing the front door. The new front door will not "unlock" and "re-lock" but will be the usual type of door which you "buzz" open, and when it closes it locks again. One of the features we can add in the meantime is a record of incidents when people use their card to unlock the door, and it does not get re-locked within 5 minutes. If the people are not members of La Commune, we will know to contact them for re-education. It's my understanding that we have received a permit to replace the front door, and that someone bottomlining that project has taken measurements. I do not know how long it will take or who is doing it, but this is why I have not changed the front door system to activate the doorknob instead of unlocking the pins. If it activated the doorknob instead, it would automatically lock when the door closed again. But it's a lot of work to do considering the door will be replaced very soon. Once again, if any person with electronic access is being irresponsible with unlocking the door, I am willing to de-activate their card until they come to the appropriate meeting to resolve the problem. And I will be more pro-active in reminding people to lock the door they open, and I will look into the access logging feature. thank you, -jake On Friday, Niki wrote: Hey friends, Can someone point me to where the procedure for granting new Sudo member access to the space is (if there is one?) The front door was left open by a Sudo member (no personal hard feelings!) and I just want to make sure that it's being communicated to members that the door should be closed and locked if no one is watching the front. I am working on an orientation pamphlet for folks who are new to the space (it's taking longer than anticipated!) so hopefully by the time we re-key, we'll have something more tangible to provide people. <3 N
