Residence record

In the residence record, we record the residents of Kanthaus on a daily basis. The file is stored in a private git repository on our server.

Why are people recorded?

• Because of our positions system, which requires us to know how much time individuals spend at the space.
• We love data. That's why we collect a lot of that, also on people.

How and when are people recorded?

• Whoever spent a night in Kanthaus will be recorded for the following day.
• People are listed chronologically. That means if Lisa and Bob arrive on the same day, but Bob comes at 5pm and Lisa at 8pm, Bob is recorded before Lisa.
• Many names are quite common, so we add a suffix. Whoever records a person first can decide on the suffix and if it is even needed. Common suffixation patterns are: first letters of last name or abbreviation of context organization.
• If you record someone with a frequent name make sure there has not been someone else recorded without a suffix already!
• Adding suffixes to past records is completely fine. What counts is reliable data.
• The residence record ideally is updated every day to avoid making mistakes.

What if I don't want to be recorded?

• You can provide us with a consistent pseudonym, that we will use instead of your name.
