\

\

need to update website for updated staff info
infosessions
not planned out yet
need to plan facilitator meeting
New experiment…?
laksith: the issue with the decal has been that it doesnt teach them what they need
bring back the advanced track, call it experimental, max 10 ppl
purpose is to give out cheap laptops for them to build out linux servers
gauge interest in the first meetings
oliverni: biggest issue w/ current decal, it feels like a lot of misc things, unconnected
- feel it doesn't seem cohesive
- would be better if we could teach a lot of the same but organize it into threads, build on previous content more
- laksith: we have too much hand holding? they don't have the opportunity to break things
- breakage is essential to learning
- we'll get to advanced topics (k8s) if people are interested
- again, cap to small number of people at first
oliverni: students have to ask someone to reset VM. they arent fully independent.
- button to reset VMs
laksith: want students to install things themselves. from scratch.
would be nice if decal heads were here…

expensive ups :3
