Yay!

(about as much as a non-French-speaker can say)

I believe we talked about this on IRC. I believe the 3AM maximum is
fine for having shifts of our people at the door (and probably we
could ask people to stick around a bit longer if they are staying
awake, although not as a volunteered responsability).

However... This other entrance "for travel arrivals only" will
definitively not be available for people staying up late?

What time will doors open again in the morning?

I don't think this will be a problem. But anyway, it would be nice to
say which general policies are in place. I mean, I don't expect to be
College policy to require people to pay all of their media licenses to
Apple services, but... :-]

Thanks!
