Meeting Started at 19:12

  • :

  • rt 7553: Meeting with Jenny

  • Discussed keycard access consolidation with Megan Fox

  • Talked about Referendum, not much came of that

  • rt 7545: Creative Lab Wording

  • Creative lab is putting up a large sign on their window. They want to put us on it.
  • We need to provide a 10 word blurb to put on the sign.
  • The wording will be "Open Computing Facility: computer lab, webhosting, printing, and more"

*rt 7544: Unable to create an account (Alumni Account) - We have denied an alumni account recently, abizer thinks this policy does not make sense. - abizer's reccomendation for the policy change is commit 6f0a3d3 in ocfweb. - dkessler does not think this should be advertised. - ethanhs points out some issues with the wording in abizers policy. - BoD voted to allow alumni to have accounts, but not to approve abizer's policy change. - keur volunteered to write this policy

*rt 7531: Poster for the column - BoD elects to have a poster similar to the original in the ticket, with modifications.

*rt 7475: authorize purchase of 10gbe supplies - We need to buy 8 NICs and install them - It will cost about $1800, and this will complete 10gbe @ OCF. - abizer will reach out to STF since the OCF has already submitted an STF fast track grant - BoD approves this purchase.

*rt 7504: Buy new hardware - A bunch of our computers have had disks fail - abizer reccomends upgrading this ticket to an grant for a hardware refresh of the lab. - slimmer cases, new GPUs, new CPUs, etc. will cost around 25k - ethanhs thinks it may be better to write grants for other things such as 10gbe for all of OCF - mirrors use the most bandwidth, and we don't saturate 1gbe. 10gbe would not really be noticable

*rt 7474: Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week - FAFSA Event Assistance - A group would like the OCF to host a FAFSA workshop on Tuesday 11/13 from 5-7pm or 6-8pm - Alternative date is Thursday 11/15 5-7pm or 6-8pm - We would need to close the lab earlier. These are decal days. - BoD approves allowing this to occur at any of the stated times
