[GTALUG] Prompting the return of In-Person events.

[Scott Sullivan]

You remember the challenge correctly for the room. T?he critical 
difference isn't at the room doors, but now the building doors. Those 
were open access, letting anyone into the building through the half 
dozen different entry points. I was led to understand that was curtailed 
during the pandemic. So there are now to points of access control for 
ingress. That is significant friction increase.

I've not gotten recent ground truth as to how real a problem this remains.
