Hi Jake,

Is there no longer a hook on the door to prop it open when it doesn't need to be locked? I know Michael installed one a while back, but I didn't see it last time. If so, that would be at least part of the problem...

Also - do we have any volunteers who would want to be on a door access phone tree? I think taking the door latch back off the door would be a huge step back.

Hi all,

Today I got a call asking how to get into sudo/CCL by a sudoroom member.

As I said in previous messages, I don't think it's appropriate to shut/lock the
door without first putting up a sign explaining who to contact in case of being
unable to get through the door.

I don't think it's a huge big deal for someone to make the sign and put it up
there, so I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet, but people keep
locking the door.  Who knows how many people wanted to access the space and
couldn't figure out how to get in?  Hopefully not too many.

If nobody cares about access through this door enough to figure out a phone
tree and a sign, at the very least, then I will take the latch back off the
door so that we don't have any more problems with people being locked out.
