Senate - mtg next week - we need a senator on our side to have any hope of getting $$$ - we have bery limited senate contacts - billy - brando and geo knows - a few senators have OCF accounts - brando knows one other senator - peter - brando will do it

Open/Close - MCC staff have been opening OCF back door during special events regardless of wheterh staff are in

- Three options:
    1) close all time
    2) open all time
    3) open for staff only, responsible for watching users
        - problems
            - how do they tell who's staff

If you're in lab when they close, you can say you'll stay and watch users, prop door. - kick everyone out when you'r done! give warning

Frank will tell Xavie we're using option #3

Lavonia wants In/out sign, users keep harassing MCC staff.

dima: no one will use the sign did lavonia insist?

frank+jkit: if lavonia wants us to do it, we should do it. If you don't want to flip the sign for yourself, you don't have to.

We need a big sign/brochure tell A) desk staff != ocf staff b) how to get started, get an account
