Lockers

Lockers are a shared resource at Noisebridge. In this post-scarcity economy, we’ve only got a finite number of ‘em. Please be excellent to your fellow hackers by making sure that you’re not holding an exclusive lock on any of these valuable resources!

HOW TO LOCKER AT NOISEBRIDGE

1. Put a lock on a locker
2. Put a note/tag/sticker/whatever on the locker and keep it up to date with a last-modified date

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.
