lockable should not be a problem. If noisebridge is
donating one of the
older designs, it would be framed with raw wood we can just screw some
hinges and plywood in - to box it - to keep people from fiddling with the
mechanisms. The cameras might need a more secure spot at the omni.
Marc, Robb, Jake,
I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. I am new to this
list, the omni commons and the sudo room so please keep me straight on that.
I am back in town Jan. 1 --- Tues Jan. 2 would be a good day for me to
meet and begin - and maybe complete a plan and proposal if needed for the
omni collectives. I have a van if there is a base-kit already constructed
at noisebridge that needs to be picked up.

...there's an extra book scanner at noisebridge that they were begging
me to
take.
