[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] physical security working group?

Sat Dec 6 17:23:03 PST 2014

What size lockers would be most useful for people? I've mostly been looking
out for the 1-cubic-foot versions. The taller lockers tend to be designed
to hang up clothing, which isn't quite as useful for us. But they could be
subdivided with internal shelving.

Here's one CL posting for a 2-tier set of eight 3ft high lockers for $120:

I could easily imagine a few walls in the basement (or for sudo and CCL,
along the long graffitti wall) covered with lockers, with a clear price
list for different sizes and shapes. Maybe charge $5/mo for the cubic foot
version, $12/mo for the 3ft ones, and $20 for a full height one? We'd need
to set up some payment system to manage them though - including cutting off
unauthorized locks, emptying abandoned lockers, and everything else that
comes with that...

Suitable lockers on CraigsList can be found at very affordable rates (with
some patience anyway), but they do require a truck to move...
