[Vanhackspace] usb deadbolt

[Joe Bowser]

It was discussed at the first meeting.  There were a LOT of fears regarding
RFID among the group, and there were people that were going to back out if
we used that for our locking mechanism.  I do think we need to have some
RFID nights in the next month, and I do want to see the OpenBeacon stuff
used a lot more for conferences around town, mainly because I like the
Opt-In nature of it.  If you want to come in and do a night talking about
RFID, that would be awesome!
