The amount we put for wages for the payment voucher is more than the total wages ($27940.50 vs $23603)
- Saturday and Joe's position included

I know we're still waiting for CACSSF and will not do PR if it's not dispersed then
Note: First total paycheck across Opstaff is more because OM does admin work over the summer
SWE++

Can we make sure the SWE account can be accessed with the new PCs?
Career fairs :(
"i don't know if something got reset over the summer, but if i recall we had it set so that print jobs automatically force rasterize last semester. that seems to have been removed, and now i'm manually force rasterizing like half of the print jobs because they just won't print, and it's not an intuitive solution for most people. any way we can turn on automatic force rasterization again? it's also wasting a ton of toner because the ones that do print come out as solid black boxes of ink" - Gianna

decal laptop quote, 15 laptops, $95 each

Reached out to Jane Street to see if they're still interested in giving money loll
The preferred method of payment is a wire transfer, and we'll need to provide shipping details.
[Question from internal] Is it okay if we offer new staff members VMs to audit the decal?
Just as a potential way to help new members get acquainted with the OCF
Especially if they haven't signed up, but are still new to FOSS/Linux etc.
we can have vms for dayzzzz
