:memo: 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.

Because of our [[../social/positionsandevaluations.html|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.

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.

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