Directors in attendance: - ckuehl - dlei - kpengboy - mattmcal - nickimp - tmochida - wanghan - willh - xinghuad

• End of year approaching
• Need to decide how best to spend our remaining budget
  • Printing supplies
  • Misc lab stuff
  • Big items?
• Replacing desktops in the lab
• ~8 computers are ~7 years old
• Suggestion to replace them now while we have money
  • Would prefer to wait until move to Naia Lounge, but not feasible
• Request to allocate $7,000 as upper bound for purchasing replacement
  • Rough specs: i5 or equivalent, 8GB RAM, integrated graphics
  • Estimated cost: roughly ~$550/computer before tax, shipping, warranties, etc.
• Vote passes unanimously: $7,000 allocated
• SM and GM will research, select possible models, present findings at next BoD meeting
• Purchasing needs to happen soon (we lose access to funds early May)
• School of Social Welfare project
• IT director asked for help with hosting for faculty and grad students
• Wants a fairly complicated setup (would require their own user accounts, some kind of CMS, ...)
• Wants us to sign an SLA
• Figure out the timeline
• Require reasonable compensation, especially if we sign an SLA
  • OCF funded by student fees, so not unreasonable to ask the department to cover hardware costs proportional to their usage
• Saturday events
• This Saturday!
  • Food afterwards
• Suggest topics on Google Doc
• Will follow up later this week with details

Meeting ended at 7:32pm
