The meeting was called to order for the last time by our General Manager, Marco Nicosia at 7:45pm.

Help Sessions:

Brion Moss reported on the success of the Help Sessions so far. He encouraged people to help out, they could use more typists and teachers (mail helper@ocf to volunteer). The list of offered help sessions can be found by fingering helper@ocf.

General Manager's Report:

Marco again emphasized the Help Sessions and the stressed the need for more people to volunteer.

Marco attended a budget meeting last night. The budget is due next month, so we need to come up with a proposal quickly. Last year we were allotted $7,210 and we've spent approximately $2,000 as of right now.

Marco asked for volunteers to help pick up the rest of the Sun equipment from the School of Optometry, it should be picked up by next week.

Marco brought up for discussion buying Pentiums to run the OCF Cluster on. This was discussed a little, but was left for the future General Manager and Board to decided upon.

Site Manager's Report:

Alan said that at the start of the semster we had approximately 8,500 accounts, now we have 10,500. Flood's disk is still having problems, though Tom Waung was able to get all the accounts off of it.
