abizer: we have money to increase quota.
cooperc: how do we value the requests if we are doing this case by case.

bzh: abolishing daily quota will extend queue time.
jameszhu: "open secret policy" - current status.
mannndy: OCF should help student body, as that's purpose of free prints, instead
  of playing against it.

discussions went back to the giveaway: abizer: one time surge in quota nikit: backlog quota rrchan: allow staff computer usage current plan: add 50 to semester quota since other plans require coding.
