ANNOUNCEMENTS:

VP McCredie just got back from EduCom so might get back to us regarding our proposal soon.

We are getting a Stardent donated, but it currently doesn't boot. We'll try to get it working and find machine room space for it.

UCLink looks like it probably won't be adding new accounts in large numbers for a while (measured in months).

Help sessions are going well, this week's topic is security.

PURCHASES:

Marco proposed that we spend some of the money raised in the donation drive on Apollo-specific hardware since we don't have enough for any significant purchases outside of our current architecture. After some discussion, his final proposal was: Allocate up to $500 of the donation monies at the discretion of the General Manager and Marco for the possible purchase of-- 1) HDD controller 2) 4MB memory cards 3) Ethernet card 4) 170MB HDD with controller This proposal was approved 5-0-1 by the board.

The board agreed to schedule a general meeting for November 4, two weeks away.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:01 p.m.
