[UCIMC-Tech] [IMC] coming tech changes to site calendar

[Edwin Hawkes]

I wouldn't go so far as any spoke could approve events in the main 
space, or sum room, as there are times when we're in negotiations with 
an artist, or have pending events that may not be widely known. I think 
that the main space and sun room should be left to Shows. However 
Production should take care of the production area, maybe librarians 
should handle the library space, and the family room would be up for 
grabs. I think if too many people have access, it can get confusing, and 
cause problems. Right now I think there are meetings in the family room 
that aren't always on the calendar, and we have had some confusion in 
the past because of this. Is there anyway to separate the spaces so that 
a request for a specific location is directed to the working group 
responsible for that space? At this time any request to the calendar is 
emailed to the shows list, and Katy and I have the access to look at the 
request and follow up with it.
