Guys,
Obviously I made a mistake by accidentally posting my comment in public. It was meant for the group leaders.
I have a bunch more info, and I'd love to comment here, but a sudden burst of better judgment prevents me from doing so. :)
Rest assured, we are taking this matter very seriously and addressing our concerns to IA management.
I realize you are all upset and good judgement should prevail in public discourse. However, I would appreciate it if you would continue to keep the list informed of the specifics of the matter, for a few reasons: * A number of folks on the list are participants in similar relationships with places like IA (perhaps not computing, but many things are set up like this, with shared spaces), and so learnings from this could be great benefit. (Was there some implicit permissions given by VCFed to IA to allow these things, and nobody noticed, sort of a "you can use the space, but everything here is subject to use by us for various activities"?) * Those who are not currently involved are still interested in the breakdown (if so) of communication, or the liabilities of co-locating with IA. That said, and while I think the music group (I assume that is what they are) seemed rather non-respectful of the equipment, it might be that IA resources told them they could do those things (unlikely, but so is this entire event, and here you are). Thus, those comments might be best to share in private until all can certify the truth. But, please, don't clam up now, at least not in sharing facts.
