University of California at Berkeley was called to order at 6:49 p.m., on November 11, 1996, in 51 Evans Hall. The General Manager was in chair, and the Secretary was present. According to the new SISG handbook, giving to the General Manager, the OCF can name up to three people who are authorized to sign for the OCF. Only one to those three needs to sign the document however. The General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 13, 1996. The location has yet to be decided. The Site Manager reported that many of the machines have been crashing. Despite making the var/mail directory (this directory contains users' mail) more readable for the Apollo's, there are still many problems. The Site Manager indicated that solutions to the problems will be difficult, but will more than likely be solved with conversion of the Suns to the OCF's main login in machines. Concerning the OCF's purchases, Kenji has still proving difficult to contact. The four tape autoloader the OCF appropriated money for in September has been advertised for $995; the Site Manager stated she will investigate further. Kenneth Nishimoto stated that he called Inmac, concerning two UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies), and two copies of the software that goes with the UPS's. Kenneth Nishimoto also called APS concerning the prices for the disk boxes, however, APS has yet to get back to Ken on that matter. Jon Kuroda will be running the next two Help Sessions.
