[sudo-access] [sudo-discuss] Sudo Member Space Access procedure

[Jake]

Adam you should join the access list:

https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/access

as for NFC wristbands, we will be using them, and we already have a USB 
reader for them and Marc has been working on the software in git:

https://github.com/sudoroom/doorjam

were you thinking that a phone would serve as a good NFC reader?  we still 
need to make a lot more door access things, including for inside the 
building.  Our goal is to make it so that you can't get into sudoroom / 
CCL without a card or wristband.  Your help would be appreciated.

for example, if a phone, perhaps with one of those free Square magstripe 
readers, could serve as an NFC / magstripe access point, and trigger a 
door to open when appropriate, that would be really handy.  All the code 
is in javascript anyway so it would be easy to run on a phone.
