Administrivia¶

jaysa, laksith, oliverni: working out Jane Street sponsorship for decal laptops
and potentially student org VM server. not sure how much they want to start with
guest lecture? njha????
ssh motd if sponsored on student org private VMs
- oliverni: it's worth exploring reaching out to other places as well
- diversify our funding sources
- jaysa: hesitant cuz don't want to be beholden to …
- laksith: how do people feel about this -- cont. corp sponsorship
- jaysa: hesitant as we're not sure if we want have another moving part in the whole OCF finance story.
- oliverni: not just about money - having good industry relations is just good in general, maybe there is a recruiting angle to this. Sometimes in the FOSS world ppl are too proud to be a part of industry
- jaysa: likes the fact that we're kinda cutoff from the industry
- rjz: sides with oliver
- oliverni: not mutually exclusive, thinks its def worth exploring
- fengyihuang: as long as ocf's mission doesn't change corp sponsorship is ok as long as no scandals
- ronitnath: ocf self selection paradox - people stay in CSUA due to industry relations
- jaysa: prefer to do it on a case by case basis
- laksith: Jane Street relationship for now we are ok with the decal guest lecture
- jaysa: meeting with asuc finance, to discuss logistics of receiving money to our accounts
- conclusion: Let's see where JS takes us, if we have a good experience we can look around. ok to be picky about sponsors / maybe keep it limited to standalone projects instead of core operating things so we have the freedom to stop
meeting with ASUC office of the chief communications officer…? will see what they can do for us
