Meeting Started at 19:10

  • 6564: Renting out lab in summer, various spaces tasks Moved to next semester

  • 6711: Ask CFO, CTO, CLO about corporate donations Asked about rules for donations, getting decomissioned Yelp hardware seems pretty easy jvperrin will ask dmc + his manager

  • 6792: New printers abizer: Reached out to Cartridge Family, contracted for the campus, spoke with campus department Consider buying from the same place. $280 for toner, servicing and etc. will be free, 40 hour response time, all handled by the school baisang: Need to consider regulatory issues, but probably won't be a big deal. $280 for toner is slightly more expensive but won't need to buy maintenance kits. Will save lots of time for disassembling printers and fixing them.

  • 6821: Buy gifts for Jenny, Geoff, Kellsie abizer: get cupcakes, chocolates, gift cards, coffee, etc. There's a channel for suggestions. baisang: Allocating ~$100 for all gifts, $25 per person. All agreed.

  • 6707: New wallpaper background jvperrin: Modify it a bit, almost done

  • 6831: end-of-semester family review charles (abizer's family): Was good to read through source code, but everyone was busy and was hard to meet and work on a large project in a group baisang: Suggestion: Everyone who joins needs to make a specific time, but it's understandable that it gets late if people stays

dkessler (jvperrin's family): Was an improvement from before, there were projects that didn't happen, so maybe push people more? jvperrin: Don't want to scare people off too much by assigning too much; need more communication (like slack) dkessler: Suggestion: Have people talk on #rebuild? shasan: Veterans are not nice to dumb questions, people are scared to ask on #rebuild. abizer: There's some history and people need knowledge to interact with people/alumni. baisang: People should be encouraged to discuss on #rebuild, but there shouldn't be too much clutter. kpengboy: Too much noise on rebuild already (for discussing family projects) baisang/kpengboy: Lots of people are inactive on slack, which is a problem. dkessler: People need to be more open about asking questions

kpengboy: Not enough emphasis on staff hours; skills for helping ocf members were not taught (making group accounts, etc) baisang: Mandatory staff hours? Have every officer handle it. Make eruption a "Ready to answer questions" kind of desk? Needs more discussion, make a new ticket.
