REPORTS

SM: (by proxy from jenni) Summary of the summer: we received our 3 Ultra/5s. 1 is set up in 217 Eshleman, the other two are waiting in 67a Barrows to be carted over to 217. We also received 3 HP Monitors that are being used on the xterms. We also received the computers formerly known as cory.eecs and pasteur.eecs (now represented by an unprintable symbol). Backups were performed in the last few days.

Treasurer: Nothing to report

HS: Help sessions begin Sept. 1 and will run every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 PM in 306 Soda. The first few help session will include Intro to Unix and Productive Use of Unix.

EJC: No known information. saarp proposed the creation of ejc-rep@ocf and placing that account on the ejc-announce mailing list.

OLD BUSINESS

Fire safety policy - tabled until the SM shows up.

NEW BUSINESS

Disk usage management board - A discussion was held regarding the DUMB and what policies it should follow. It was determined that the DUMB was working on information passed down from year to year which may not accurately reflect the original founding principles of the DUMB. It was also mentioned that some of the founding principles may be outdated now that the OCF has far more resources. The board is also working on an Oct 1 deadline to make a decision regarding permanent quota waivers to evicted server.berkeley.edu residents and others. The discussion will continue next week, hopefully leading to a decision or at least a recommendation to the Fall 98 board.

Disk quotas - A proposal was made to discuss increasing disk quotas to 10 MB or higher. The discussion was tabled until next meeting, when we might have a quorum

Next BoD meeting - The next board meeting will be Wednesday, Sept 2, at 6 PM in a location TBD.

First general meeting - The first general meeting will be Tuesday, Sept 8 at 5 PM in a location TBD.

The meeting was closed at 8:25 PM.
