The first order of business was to elect a Disk Usage Management

Board. Keir took this chance to briefly explain what the DuMB is. Basically, the DuMB is in charge of approving/denying all disk waviers while the Disk Tsar (A Site Manager appointed position) is in charge of enforcing the waviers. Last semester, it was decided that the DuMB shall always be three, and thus, the nominations and results!

Donations Drive Report: Reciept books have been purchased and are now under OCF2. There is a standard template for those who don't know how to fill out reciepts. Sadly, the sample is a bit screwed up! Keir has mailed most of the relevant people. So far, Keir has about $50 - $60 in donations and marco has $60 - $80 + about $40 in checks.

The OCF recieves about $2000 - $4000 per year although we have 
only been a SISG (Student Initiated Service Group) for one year.
The disadvantage of having a donation drive is that the ASUC might
give us less money with the excuse that we have another source of
income.

The Donation DRive has been announced by Peterm, who read the 
announcement which basically suggested a donation of $5 to $10 
and listed the OCF's snail mail mailing address.

The Site Manager's Report Well, there was little for marco to say, he'd just spent all day fixing the machines and things seemed semi-stable.

General Conversation: We mostly spoke about what exactly we wanted to buy for the OCF with the donation money. psb states that the previous BoD did not want any Apollo-specific hardware. Marco worries that we are going to get caught in the middle with half and half, best we should stick with one architecture. Keir feels that we should go for a sun4 architecture server since we can get one with lots of disk and memory fairly cheaply since a lot of the cost is in the console.

We also talked briefly about our P.O. at Copy World, which is 
basically $50 per month. RuneS will also help with copying.

Election of New Members to the Board of Directors

Jean Yim (jyim@ocf) asked to be placed on the Board and was approved
with 7 yes votes.
