  ===================================================================

Non-Board Members attending: Partha S. Banerjee Sean Welch

Reports: --Roy reported that staff has been busy this week reformatting earthquake's hard disk. Also a user was warned to stop using his account for commercial purposes. The board asked Roy to report on all accounts turned off for disciplinary actions.

--Adam reported that he turned in our budget request for next year to the
  Engineering Joint Council.  We request $1000 for toner cartridges and 
  paper for the laser printers.   He also discussed looking into printing
  from the XCF until the OCF printers are fixed.  [Update: as of 3/15 it 
  looks like this will no longer be needed as the OCF printer is back on
  line again.]

Old Business: --Adam is still working with David Sharnoff to get several old Apollos donated to the OCF for random parts.

New Business: --Adam discussed our relations with the CSUA. It looks like we will be able to store the Apollo manuals in 238 Evans and we will probably be inheriting the Apollo DN4500 that used to be soda. [Update #2: Bigbang received said motherboard Friday night. The 16 megs of RAM from soda has also been installed in the cluster.]

--We also discussed our relationship with Info. Systems & Technology.  Adam
  has sent a letter to Vice Provost Hardyck and has met with the OCFUs
  Faculty Advisor Brian Harvey to discuss getting donations for the OCF.

--The second General Meeting of the semester will be held next Thursday,
  March 19, 1992 in Sibley Auditorium in Bechtel Hall.  Agenda items
  include confiriming our Faculty Advisor.

[Sorry for the delay, but the first version died during the power outage Friday night.]
