Quorum for this meeting is 8

Meeting Started at 19:12

• rt#5952 : Sub to youtube!

• rt#5167 : VHost policy

• case study: Berkeley consulting groups
• relinquishing domains (inactive/disabled)
  • Must be a valid student org (Reg w/ Lead Center)
  • Actively reclaiming or only when needed to?
  • Probably the latter due to effort reasons, student orgs disappearing/reappearing
  • Contact prev owners before changing ownership (2 week grace period)
  • Following ^ we disable the site, and after another period, we give the domain away
• multiple domains
  • Typically one, but sometimes groups have multiple
  • When can this occur?
  • Proposal (re *.berkeley.edu):
    • Give new one
    • Have a small period of time where they have both
    • Disable old domain
    • Reasoning: Prevents cases where a group can have many domains
    • Counterpoint: Secondary domains are rarely given, so the above case should not be worried about.
  • Maybe a hard limit of 2?

• Individual domains

  • Currently policy does not allow usually (defacto faculty exceptions)
  • Due to ease of being a student group, getting vhosting is pretty easy. Furthermore the student will probably leave in a few years
  • The above situation doesn't really apply to faculty
  • Certain work scales w/ no. of vhosts (try to avoid)
  • Proposal:
  • Indiv accounts limited to faculty/staff
  • Will not give out emails regardless
  • Request that they ask their dept first

• rt#5942 : OCF HPC interest survey

• rt#5860 : New standing desk setup

• Subtotal: $2238/$2283 for 48x30/60x30 (Total cost est. ~$2450)
• 60" would go past the pillar.
• Counterpoint: Why not allocate this money towards a more powerful server
  • Is it strong enough?
  • CCP: We should be serving the entire school pop. not just a few research group A bit late to bring this up, esp after several weeks of planning
• Counterpoint: Is it too soon to buy it?
  • Didn't realize we were buying this meeting.

• Result: Vote for $2500 allocation: Postponed 'til next week.

• rt#5268 : T-shirts for new staff

• Looks great!
