== Raspberry Pi's ==

Sanjay - Is this going to be something we buy and is just going to sit around?
Dara - Would be for use for staff and users

== Voting for Real™ election ==

Sanjay - Machine learning, tracking spread of voting for propositions. Around 600 participating, potential for ocf involvement.
== Quota exceptions ==
Dara - Currently 1 user with increased quota exception (3 GB)
Dara - Theta Tau requesting increased space to 15 GB
Sanjay - Crunched for space, do increases in blocks of 1 or 2 GB
Dara - Ask them to come in to request 1 or 2 GB more if necessary
== Additional lab material ==
Dara - We have excess monitors, should we add additional monitors?
Sanjay - Desk space is very valuable, maybe have one row
Dara - Adding more machines?
Sanjay - Already fairly cramped, don't think it is very valuable
Kevin - Powerstrips?
Sanjay - Yes
Dara - Meant for computers, devices?
Kevin - Combination of both
Sanjay - Purchase 3?
Loren - $300 to purchase power outlets
Unanimous approval for purchase of power outlets
== Printing lab ==
Dara - We are the only campus organization offering free printing to entire student body. Reach large portion of student body.
Dara - Because of high traffic, should increase awareness of propositions to get students to vote. Must be un-biased. Can use sanjay's machine learning program to track registration to vote. This would allow tracking of how well ocf gets the word out.
Dara - So post in lab about registering to vote with customized ml link. Must be non-partisan.
Unanimous approval for posting in lab about ability to register to vote
