Speech Notes (GM Elections)

jyxzhang - current gm, commcomm head - some stuff this semester that happened: trying to expand building access, stf tabled, ocf funding issues - but now he's very qualified to tackle these issues due to having cOnNeCtIoNs with our advisors and already actively working on it - adarshiyer: increasing use of FOSS? - more related for sm's - communicate with interested staff members (literally adarsh) - bryli: experiences/hardships with communication this semester? - asuc not being clear about stf being tabled, ocf was not consulted or notified - we need to keep in contact with asuc so we don't get blindsided again - anddone: next semester commitments? - similar to this semester, maybe lighter - adarshiyer: thoughts about co-gm's? - both very capable, kian has been running internal and njha knows the ocf very well both technically and administratively

njha - running for gm and sm - has been contributing more to the ocf administratively this semester - organized the largest purchase ever by a ucb rso!! - want to help manage more directly - todo/goals as gm: - expand ip address space - get stable source of funding for ocf - more snacks - get corporate funding/connections - want to lead bod because that sounds fun (it is) - adarshiyer: foss??? - pro-foss candidate right here - bryli: if gm, how much will you contribute technically? - will probably keep working on new k8s, but will not work on web (sm plan) - anddone: any preestablished plans for contacting companies? - have been looking on and off, and successfully reaching out to companies (good track record so far) - etw: sm vs gm? - would prefer gm - can contribute technically either way - want to try something different - adarshiyer: vim or emacs - vim (instant answer) - rjz: commitments next semester? - way less (currently doing 20 units + part time job) - bryli: how will experience as sm apply? - a lot of gm's aren't too involved technically, having sm experience could help with policy decisions being in line with technical decisions (not that this has been a problem) - rmxu: any plans on funding now or sort it out later after you are elected - apply for CASSA (short term) - idk for long term, but no one knows - bryli: anything that should have more attention drawn to it? - getting non-asuc external support (aka companies)

kian - current internalcomm head - continue quest for after hours access - vital for socializing & making connections - funding issues post-stf, need to find more income (sponsorships, new stf, ocf fee) basically not being too reliant on asuc - save the daily cal initiative was successful, we should have a good chance of passing our own (especially if we ask for support from rso's and users) - table, spread the word, reach out to other orgs for shared ballot measures - continue promoting ocf as a place beyond printing- get stuf done, learn more about linux+tech, basically better than depths of soda - adarshiyer: same question - yet another pro-foss candidate, who could have guessed - if it'll affect general population of ocf users, we need to make sure it'll be accessible while still supporting open source - anddone: plans for making sure internal stays alive (also web)? - ensure we have strong recruiting foundation for fall - retention - 6 new ppl on web team this semester yay! get them to become more invested and keep going with the rewrite (gatsby+react), it should keep growing on its own (completion date eta 2030) - njha: getting hours extended- any plans? anything we haven't tried already? - make sure it's brought to the attention of our advisors and building managers, make it clear this is something the ocf really wants - jyxzhang: commitments for next semester? - probably lighter, 12 units maybe?? and taking break from job

waddles - check out their campaign posters around the lab! - extremely good outreach, will soon have cardboard cutouts and full fledged propaganda campaign - very cute, cutest gm candidate - hasn't missed a single bod since 1989 - Spent no money for food during social - no academic commitments

SM Speeches

etw - current sm - not many changes, keep on going - tech debt - k8s (etw+njha) - EOL this summer (rip debian 9) - sm's have a job and they know how to do it - regardless of the official position sm's will be doing stuff - njha: why should i vote for you - having an sm is better than not having an sm - adarshiyer: same question - FOSS is good but sometimes it just doesn't add up - elastic license! - anddone: kuberfridge when - k8s enabled smart fridge = new staff project - jyxzhang: any new fresh ideas? - new k8s new k8s new k8s - we don't have the bandwidth to do anything else - laksith: mit vs gpl - depends, mit for most things

rjz - current sm - everything etw said - new k8s - ocf security... passwords - move to mit kerberos - new printing accounting system, in-house - keep existing services running - adarshiyer: same question - neutral, foss is good but sometimes there are practical needs for proprietary software - jyxzhang: what will you take from this semester as sm into next semester? - have a general picture / todo list of things we want to achieve; having a plan is better than having no plan - bencuan: what will this plan look like? - more reliable hpc system - revisit password management
