Second in person meeting

2013 Aug 31

Again at Aberdeen Uni, in Rm 205 of Meston Building

There was talk of some hacking happening this time, but I don't remember if it got past the talking about it stage.

This was when Malcolm told us about the possibility of the space at 35A Union St.

We had enough keys to start using the space properly

Doorbot came into existence to let people in without keys

Some time towards the end of September through start of October

There were complicated plans to improve on the bluetack for closing the door again (this was still not implemented when we moved out of this space, more than 4 years later).
