The meeting was called to order at 7:38pm.

Elections: The new Secretary is David Walthall (land).

DUMB elections: Elaine Chao, George Gong, and Alan Coopersmith were nominated. They were elected by a vote of affirmation 8-0-0 (for-against-abstaining). The DUMB votes by email on user quota exceptions.

The EJC Rep was postponed until next week with a comment that we haven't had one for the past few years, so waiting until next week won't hurt. The postponement was so that the meeting times for the EJC meetings could be determined.

Reports: GM: 67a Barrows was rearranged. The printer is now on the other side, the cords are taped down, and the monitors are stacked so that the heaviest ones don't fall on people when they are moved.

SM: Home directories were moved to apocalypse. For the moment, they are still on Death so that if there are any problems, we still have a copy. The accounts on planecrash and avalanche were moved to home/ford. We now have the UPS software, which is on CD. We will have to mount apocalypse's CD ROM to the computers that we will install the software on. SM saw one of the four new staff members on site. Locusts is now available for login for staff if you add a line to the .xsession file. SM is still trying to contact Cliff for rereg information.

Help Sessions: There will be no Help sessions next week. The next H.S. planned are "X Windows and You" on Monday, Feb 17, and "Privacy and Encryption on the Internet" on Wednesday, Feb 19.

Old Business: The 7th floor of Eschelman will most likely be turned into a library. However, it is possible that the OCF may get the 3rd floor of MLK after that. Also, we may get use of the 7th floor of Eschelman until the library is moved there, if it is.

On-Line Voting: On-Line Voting has been tabled by the ASUC until next semester.

GM suggested that there be a committee to decide Email Policy. It was dropped due to "lack of enthusiasm." It was commented that we can get exceptions to the campus email policy if we ask IS&T (and they grant it).

New Business: Ken motioned that $100 be allotted for the purchase of 10 tape backups. After discussion the motion amended by Rune to allot $200 for the purchase of 20 tapes. [They should cost about $8 apiece.] Elaine Chao seconded this motion. It passed 9-0-0.

Meeting Times: GM motioned Mondays at 7:30pm. Richard seconded it. It passed 9-0-0. The meeting for next week will be help (due to Presidents Day) on Wednesday (Feb 19) at 7:30. The following week (Feb 19), the BOD meeting is canceled due to a lot of midterms.

Porno Site: Jennifer Snider formulated a response as per the board's previous decision. The response was basically that there is no pornography on his site now.

George Gong: George was nominated to be on BOD. Elaine seconded it. No one voted against him being on the board, so he is now a member.

Schedule for backups: This was left to the discretion of the Site Manager.

Building Keys: This was only mentioned as something that was not the board's concern.

The meeting was closed at 8:16pm.

David Walthall land@ocf.berkeley.edu Secretary, OCF Board of Directors.
