'''HOW TO LOCKER AT NOISEBRIDGE'''


The above being said, there is ongoing discussion of re-organizing the member shelves, hack shelves, and also possibly day-use shelves into an organized set of lockers. This is a lively and ongoing debate.

As the plan exists now:
The Garbage Collector periodically sweeps over the lockers to find any without external references. If no references are found, the contents will be free’d and returned to the heap, aka hack shelves.
* '''Both''' member shelves and day-use shelves would be consolidated with lockers.
* Some '''(not all)''' shelves would be re-purposed for use as additional hack shelves or shelves for larger projects.
* Lockers could '''optionally''' be closed, so nobody else can see your stuff (out of sight, out of mind).
* Lockers would use '''optional''' bring-your-own-lock security.
* Lockers would also be numbered, un-labeled, and anonymous.
* Hack shelves would remain as separate shelves, publicly accessible to everybody.  Keeping hack shelves separate from the lockers will hopefully result in people feeling more confident in using stuff on the hack shelves.

[http://www.yelp.com/c/sf/selfstorage There are numerous secure self-storage facilities in the city of San Francisco]. If you think a locker at Noisebridge would be useful, you are invited to attend a meeting of [[Locks!|the lockpicking group]]. They meet infrequently, usually on Sundays, but if you're interested someone would probably be glad to teach you about the realities of locks some other time too.
