=== House rules revisited ===
Kevin arrived late at the meeting. He objected to our consensus on the '''house rules''' proposal. We revisited the topic. Kevin expressed the following specific concerns about the rules:

1. The notion of “activities of daily living” is ambiguous.
2. Why do we suggest the use of specific storage locations if we can't protect those locations or enforce their use?
3. The food section is entirely outside Kevin's understanding of Noisebridge's general operation.
4. Although Kevin is willing to accept prohibiting sleeping at Noisebridge, it is not without concern.

We discussed these objections and the proposal in general. Tom will back out the commit and move it to a branch of the main repo. Kevin volunteered to author the next version of the proposal. Future discussion is deferred to a future meeting.
