GM Report: Adam reported that he will be meeting with reps from Hewlett-Packard on April 15 to discuss extending the service contract and possible donations. According to the figures he received, an on-site service contract will cost around $36,000/year, much beyond the wildest dreams of our budget.

Vice-Chancellor Russ Ellis has some plans for public use computing
facilities.  Adam is trying to get the OCF involved in future
planning for campus computing and is in the process of preparing to
make a presentation to the Campus Computing Policy Board [I don't
know what the exact title is, but the abbreviation is a bunch of C's
followed by a P.B.]

Adam is working on trying to implement CMU's Andrew Toolkit on the
OCF.  Details on how borken of an implementation apollo's can run
will come as soon as he finishes...

SM Report: Roy was notably absent, but Alan reported on behalf of staff that earthquake's hard disk ate itself, asked for a "Qualified Apollo Technician" and was therefore given to the appropriate people in Workstation Support for shipping to HPollo.

Old Business: NONE

New Business: NONE

Other Useful Things Done: NONE
