[hackerspaces] Lockers in a hackerspace?

[idnc_sk at vpslab.org]

It's good to finally see a conversation about something really 
importnat .. in these turbulent times .. goes to show that the 
"hackerspace" community is really not about playing with iot toys, 
flashy leds. 3d printers + ton of other insignificant time-wasters but 
is still (intellectually) potent enough to deal with the reality .. and 
I thought there are already enough troyan horses in this movement to 
keep the potential of this community at an insignificant level ..  
worthless .. what_a_day
