III. Reports

    General Manager

    Ken and Devin gave the GM's report.  They want to do more publicity
    and gain more publicity for the OCF.  Ken reports that SAS agreed
    to put a link from their website to www.ocf.berkeley.edu  They 
    redid the OCF webpage last week, making it easier on the eyes and
    easier to find information.

    Luns brought the new disk boxes online over the Labor Day weekend.

VI. New Business

    Constitutional Amendment (by order of SAS)

    The SAS office required that we replace the hazing and 
    non-discrimination clause in the membership statement in 
    our constitution with the following:
    "We will not haze according to California State Law; we will not
    restrict membership based upon race, color, natural origin, religion, 
    sex, physical and mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related 
    or genetic characteristics), ancestry, marital disability, age, 
    sexual orientation, citizenship or status as a covered veteran 
    (special disabled veteran, Vietnam-era veteran or any other veteran 
    who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition 
    for which a campaign badge has been authorized)."

    Stephen McCamant motioned that we also add "any major" to the list
    of items that by which we do not restrict membership. The amendment 
    was passed unaminously.

    Quotas

    Kat motioned that disk usage allocation for users be increased
    as follows:
             8MB  home directory
             8MB  web directory
            10MB  mail
    The motion was passed and will take effect as soon as the new
    disks are brought up.

    Brainstorm

    We brainstormed about spending ideas (such as t-shirts, supplies,
    more publicity), increased platforms/hardware we could support
    (PCs/Macs/NT, etc.), and increased services (such as web-based
    email)
