<div dir="ltr">I'm part of a group developing a product primarily geared toward access control, but with a membership database component and the ability to tie into all sorts of existing membership databases. Our end goal is to run things with a SaaS business model, but hackerspaces have a special place for me, so I'd imagine some things could be worked out. The hardware is currently based on the Raspberry Pi and I believe that we'll continue to support DIYers who want to build their own panels even once we're at the stage of manufacturing our own boards.<br><br>Give me a little time, we'll have a great solution.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 8:48 PM, Edward L Platt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ed@elplatt.com" target="_blank">ed@elplatt.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">What is the National Organization of Makers?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 8:46 PM, Joshua Pritt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ramgarden@gmail.com" target="_blank">ramgarden@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Melbourne Makerspace has been using the open source Seltzer (built at another hackerspace!) specifically for running 'spaces with little to no training and volunteer time.<div>I am currently trying to build a member photo module that lets other members pull up the photos of a selected member since we have so many members now it's hard to remember their names!</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/elplatt/seltzer" target="_blank">https://github.com/elplatt/sel<wbr>tzer</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I wrote some PHP that queries the Seltzer database that is called from a Python script I wrote that runs on a raspberry Pi with an RFID scanner we use for our front door lock.</div><div>It's been working great for over a year now! </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://wiki.melbournemakerspace.org/projects/RFIDDoorLock" target="_blank">https://wiki.melbournemakerspa<wbr>ce.org/projects/RFIDDoorLock</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 8:15 PM, Matthew "mirage335" Hines <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spamfreemirage335@gmail.com" target="_blank">spamfreemirage335@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>We've been using WildApricot for the past few years. It
does many things, but all of them are a little lacking. We
have a bunch of work-arounds and custom tools built around
their API's to make it easier for our administrators, but it's
become a bit cumbersome to maintain, and the price keeps going
up.</div>
