Thursday September 7, at 5:00pm there will be a general information meeting. There was a flyer distributed to several CS classes which included this information among others. It was decided that we should just have a snack and account forms.
Funding we can get $80 if we become an official student group (1st year = $80) need to fill out a form and get 4 students to sign it Rob Cullman is to fill out the forms which he can get from either the CSUA or Partha
Adam Richter is going to be our contact person with Paul Rubin (who is supposed to be working on EMACS?)
Partha said that he would work on the account forms and have them done by Monday
Pete volunteered to make a bug report form
Mike Robinson was voted onto the board
Sean and Leo are supposedly working on a Riacs documentation
Peter has been and will continue to maintain communication with Apollo
Cim, Adam R. and Adam G. have been creating accounts this was mentioned to make sure that everyone is giving the same disclaimers 1) no backups 2) X server being worked on 3) EMACS only kind of works 4) Read news and send mail have problems 5) printers kind of work
Cim is working on getting a license for Frame.
Interleaf, the other wysiwyg editor, we have heard nothing further about
Printing Services--we were promised by CFC that printing services (which we believe to include paper and toner) would be supplied by them. We have since been told that we need to supply paper and toner, we are checking into this further.
To open, we need to have the following: a) EMACS running b) backup ability c) News working d) mail working well e) X server working well
Other things needed: a) account forms b) bug report forms c) documentation d) intro to OCF stuff
dues: were discussed but in general disliked reason needed: documentation costs a) could charge for each documentation set given out b) could just pay for documentation out of our own pockets (at least until we get some other source of money)
Meeting adjourned at 7:35pm
(no mention of a next meeting date was made)
