    At syn2cat we run in automatic open mode.<br>
    But there is a delay. On entry, if you don't want to announce
    presence, you can push a button. It has a nice blinking light
    inviting to push. If not, the status goes to "open" after 30
    seconds. We don't have a distinction between open for members or
    open for anyone.<br>
    <br>
    If you don't want the app to display to the world if the space is
    open, just don't announce that on the API as the API is already open
    to the world. The app only gives easier access compared to knowing
    an URL.<br>

      <br>
      At i3detroit, we realized pretty quickly that an automatic system
      (I had originally suggested a HacDC-style motion detector) would
      not respect the privacy of members who wished to work in the
      space, perhaps alone, without announcing their presence to the
      world. 
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>So we implemented a simple switch, by the door, which sets
        the website statusbox to "open for guests" or "closed to
        guests". It's purely voluntary, and a fair number of members
        don't use it. If we ever get around to implementing SpaceAPI,
        it'll run from this same status bit.<br>
