Comms stories

Individuals

Someone with door code is in space late at night, someone already there lingers to the point that it's not obvious they expect to also have to leave when the space closes.

Someone with door code is in space late at night, someone already there lingers to the point that it's not obvious they expect to also have to leave when the space closes, upon talking, they find the person lives very far away and lacks transportation.

Someone not connected to "big" chats like admin, spokes, etc. has to deal with an emergency.

Someone is in the space and finds we're out of various consumables: toilet paper, trash bags, disposable containers, printer paper.

Groups

Not all groups have the same "footprint." Kitchen & pantry have different space use overlaps than writing group, etc.

Misc.

Tuesday delivery palettes build up because they're not returned on a regular basis.

If you see someone you don't know in the space, doing something that would typically be something someone more familiar with the space would be doing, like cooking, going through the pantry fridges, working with electrical or A/V equipment... step one is probably just introducing yourself. Would be nice to have an "ice breaker" that would likely lead to knowing more w/o feeling like an interrogation.

Yoga was cancelled, it was announced in CA that it was cancelled, then a replacement was found. The CA post was deleted, but it was never affirmed that it was going to happen. Unclear what happened in the dedicated chat, I'm not a member.

Calendar

Public cal doesn't show private events, so people might think space is available.

The space needs to figure out dynamics around "community" - If I frequent the space, contribute labor, I might assume a certain right to show up whenever and use the space in a lightweight manner - meetings, working, reading. If private events (regardless of booking request for privacy) are not shown on public calendar, people may show up randomly. They may have traveled a long way, and not be happy with being turned away as they arrive at space.

Pantry

Sorter shows up as per the paper calendar listing, but isn't in the chat., has no info.

Sorter joins signal chat via site, gets pinged about deliveries, but can't ask for updates on expected delivery times..
Response: When pickups are scheduled, forward to sorter pager.

Sorter is unclear on process, or something arises they don't know how to deal with, has no place to ask aside from people in space.

Garbage

When we attach garbage curbing to an activity, if that activity is cancelled or moves, garbage may be not taken out.

Double booking of gym meet & brunchraiser.

Programming

Individual wants to see something happen, fills out form to connect RC with 3rd party. Individual who submitted form has no clear way to stay abreast of the conversation as it develops.
