[hackerspaces] Hackerspace admin software recommendations?

[Edward L Platt]

Hi Shirley,

Glad to see you posting about this.  Space management is still a big time
sink, and by collaborating on solutions we can make things a lot easier.

If you have any questions about Seltzer, feel free to email me or the dev
list!

I'd love to see the community come together on a solution, whether it's
Seltzer or something else.

Happy hacking,
-Ed
