new sudoroom dues survey: google forms edition (not reply to list)

by Max Klein

I know we all love Google like a relative (that won't leave us alone about our private lives), but it seems like a good idea to use their "Forms" for this survey IF you've already replied to list: don't worry about refilling it out, I'll migrate responses ELSE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WmLrkg0tmFf3Ny66IyCmyMfqLc43MzhyQlgEs_dtaU… IF interested in revamping questions: form is openly editable Max

Instant 24/7 access? Do we allow for this? And how?

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Just thought I would point this out, since it came up earlier in the dues thread. But, Marc's point(a very good marketing point about 24/7 access), has as a big security exception, we didn't really talk about, probably mostly because of time. Basically, it's easy for us to think "hey, we should let this person have access, because they seem cool, and we want to remain open," but even I get sketched out at night sometimes, and there are real safety issues at work here, and we should discuss them in relation to cost/benefits for the space. It's also entirely possible that we trust someone, and they just do something bad anyway. We don't really spend a lot of time thinking about this, but this is something we haven't had to really deal with yet, because we've had really shitty access up until now. I don't know if my survey asked this question properly, but I was trying to see if 24/7 access was worth more to people as a value, but I think for some people it could be a safety draw-back, and at least in 1 case this is true. I also am not sure it's really something we should be promoting, if we do decide on it being okay for members to do. If anyone wants to post about how they feel about this(I think it really is about feelings in this case, because it's about promoting membership and establishing wants/needs), then please feel free to reply here. Thanks, Rusty **
