Relatively Easy

- Decontamination Chamber
- CVS/SVN server (input? ive never used these systems before to be honest **tetsu)
- Just used for revision control for source code, would be a good way to collaborate on software.
- Maybe Git?
- game console area: chairs, tv, cabinet, game storage
- xbox linux
- nice cheap steel shelves with particleboard shelves. shelves of some kind. cheap shelves to store things before we're awesome.
- cool idea database
- Commercial shelves = pricy, but can be broken down and reassembled quickly, are robust.
- second hand, could be cheap. $70 for a decent 4' x 6' x 2' shelves from Home Depot.
- library
- coffee dispensery
- pallets of Yerba Mate, Jolt, and Bawls
- CCD webcams everywhere, recording software, central storage, ease of video logging, streaming
- IP cameras? That way we can view what's going on anytime! -- Nuno

- everyone loves the Internet Maps. there's a lot of cool stuff to map, and GraphViz can do all the work for us.
- a few hours collecting data, 15 minutes processing it, and however long it takes a print shop to print it
- Homebrew security system for the space
- DIY vapor-transmitted caffeine for e-cigarettes
- Telepresence Wall
