A safe space is defined as:

"A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others." — Advocates for Youth via Wikipedia.
A place free of physical violence or threats thereof.

System for sharing common spaces
- See Sudo Room's event management system on their main site, https://sudoroom.org and process around scheduling events.
Naming of all rooms and spaces for easier scheduling

Who has access? To what? When?
One thing that was brought up during the Omni Hackathon was the importance of a good access control system. Could be keypad, RFID, swipe-card, whatever - as long as it's *not* based on physical keys that can get passed around. Preferably a system that can be reprogrammed remotely (so when a new member is added, we don't have to walk around the entire building updating door access codes). And ideally one where individual groups can be given full control over a specific subset of doors.
Possible vendors:
- Reed Brothers Security on Telegraph near 45th is an excellent resource!
- http://us.allegion.com/Products/electronic_locks/Pages/default.aspx (e.g. Schlage AD-200 series: standalone, but can be upgraded to networked. Or Schlage AD-400 for wireless)

How do we maintain a clean, safe, comfortable space?
- Maybe we could gameify it?
