!The time has come. It is time to accept the reality that the Capp St location has different physical security challenges than previous locations. We cannot effectively secure entry and it is now very easy for people to wander in off the street. Vulnerable individuals are not safe in the space. Sexual assaults have been reported in crowded rooms at times when the space is busy. We do not know who comes and goes and we have no way of finding out. Entire classes of hackers are avoiding Noisebridge entirely. If we are seriously concerned about providing a place where people can hack and hang in safety, it is time to acknowledge the reality of the situation and do what we can to realize a space that is truly welcoming to all. (This is a hard one for me to propose. For the past few years I have been working within the existing framework of the organization, attempting to find any solutions that do not go to this level. But I think it is necessary to admit that immediate safety concerns against predatory behavior trumps hypothetical omnipresent surveillance in a world where it is impossible to walk past a Tesla without passing an entire array of cameras)
|Specific actions that can be taken to make the space safe for all taking into account the unique conditions at 272 Capp.
 
Adding an RFID scanner to the front gate and repairing/replacing the front door to increase functionality of the closer. (Additionally adding signage discouraging propping the door open)
 
Adding closed circuit ‘trail cam’ cameras to record (for a limited time) the activity of the front gate and fire exit.
 
Improving lighting around the space, but especially in the second floor hallway.
 
Establishing a default condition of ‘members only’ and only be open to the public on specific days when there can be a monitoring presence. Classes and events can have non-members attendees, but guest behavior is the responsibility of the event organizer or sponsor.
 
Establishing some way of reserving the music room by nonmembers if they provide identifying details and adhere to stipulations above.
 
Potentially adding a new level of associate associate member, or some such, to allow access to trusted individuals short of membership (like reviving the 30 access policy)
 
Establishing records of RFID use and/or identifying each tag.

This is a page for hosting consensus items currently under debate, with their formal wording.

You might be looking for

  • the Draft Consensus Items page, instead? If your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with.
  • Consensus Items History is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.
