We did this last year, it will be 20 per day. Nick: We should change the technicality that only BOD can change the quota once it has been established This power should go to the GM, for speed BOD can be override the GM proposed change Patrick: Why can't we propose the quota in the BOD before the semester ends? Sahil: It's neither feasible nor does it cover all the cases that could occur Jason: I'm not that open to a GM unilateral decision over this Brian: We should avoid changing quota during a break Nick: When else are we going to do it? We can't change it in the middle of the semester due to confusion Kevin: I'm afraid that the cabinet will sweep the changes over staff Nick: This discussion will be public on email anyway, and tbh staff follow what cabinet says anyway Sahil: BOD can always overrule it anyway Kevin: So the amendment is---if OCF is not in session, the cabinet has control over quota until first meeting of next semester Vote: Printing quota upped to 20/20 for dead/finals week Vote: Cabinet has power to change quota if OCF is not in session Both votes passed. -

Insta-shirt has printed a few proofs in econ-mode (no white ink), which they suggest due to our light background The vote sent out over the weekend shows that we are getting American Apparel, with Gray leading the vote Full-color, regular printing: 23.50 Econ-printing: 16.50 Sahil: Full-color will look brand-new for longer, but get cracks in the white paint Econ will simply fade, getting lighter and lighter Screenprinting on the text in the back Vote: Econ vs Full-color Winner: Econ Vote: Gray vs. Blue shirt Winner: Gray shirt Matt: If any orders need to be changed, talk with me immediately Subsidizing: Given our current financial situation, we will not be subsidizing If someone is genuinely in financial hardship, talk after meeting. -
<6189>: <4/20 Post-mortem> About 5:50-6:00am, DNS failed, so basically everything failed Website, emails, etc. We only have 1 DNS server, the university used to also host us University did a recent migration to InfoBlocks, delegating DNS to us This means all traffic goes to our nameserver (single point of failure) Firewall starts blocking things due to the DNS outage jaws and hal were restarted, no faults found Theres a big post-mortem document Lessons: Redundant DNS Resolve firewall dependency on DNS IRC/email dependency on outages (Slack, etc) We're still not really sure on what the actual root cause is We should investigate---before the logs go away Brian: How did this affect our 9's Jason: We're still at 5 -- 9.9999% availability! mcint: Looks like there were failures to resolve that happened before and all the way until 4/20 Jason: That probably happens because random people are using recursive DNS queries, which we don't allow unless its a lab computer
