Agenda¶

RT¶

.studentorg migration. Anything on their

joe: rt is going p good. is there anything that the student orgs have to do for the migration'?
oliver: they should make sure that their site still works after the migration. wordpress sites have like a base url and ppl might have to change this. for custom sites they'll need to change all hardcoded urls
ocf.io/s/subdomain-migration
ronitnath: there's an org that got sorried in 2023 and we reenabled in feb 2024 and they were hacked by an Indonesian gambling website. they sent a long email with a lot of stuff. we've responded and they've also been coming in. they're kinda mad but we've asked them to wait. for the enable tech case we don't know why they got sorried.
rjz: will look into this as previously left a note about being compromised.
ronitnath: all the files in there were related to gambling and not wordpress.
asked them to rebuild it completely.
jaysa: people are attached to their compromised websites… so hard to get them onboard to fully re-writing it.
rjz: will come to lab and look into it
joe: staff hours are going really well. CC officers when doing hostmaster requests, correct to more specific
ronit: saw a guy who wanted to reserve a domain. but we have a policy of having a website before a request. but do we really care??
oliverni: this is not our policy but the hostmasters website
jaysa: should we care?
ronit: we should care a little bit as we don't want to have skeleton ghost websites.
laksith: squatters?
- ronit: we usually need to have a registered rso before getting a domain. and this would be a lead center issue with fake issue
jaysa: for now continue with the policy

Opstaff¶

Stay hydrated!!!!
Pay period 2 done: $3021 off CACSSF
There are a total of 8 pay periods in the semester. jaysa + jeda will keep an eye on it.
Starting 1:1s with Opstaff next week
Talking about next semester plans, generally checking in
might need to hire at the end of this semester. will get final count post 1:1
- jaysa: if it's only needed for one semester have volunteer staff cover??
- jeda: will talk a bit more in person but def possible
Talked with marketingcomm with Opstaff, no real interest
Probably wants to collab more than be in the comm
tabi: def interested in attending meetings etc… to give inputs but unsure if they'd be able to contriubte
I think bridge between Slack and Discord is down
Some Opstaff are just using Slack, so I've been relaying info to Discord
Ongoing projects: signage ("Home of Joe Wang", where to print?), socials (Minecraft, Halloween), merch (stickers, shirts)
I know marketingcomm is probably doing merch, but Jo chef'd this up
- Still a work in progress, but the idea is a frat rush shirt LMAO
- Critique:
- Everyone agrees it's super cute and adorable
- staff specific shirt not for users
- send design over to jaysa and figure out sourcing t-shirts
Lab map:
It's in progress and in the slack
knives has access to all the hostnames etc… to get it to completion
Recommended projects:
jeda: put things in here if you have any other recs
- ty ronit
ronitnath: list of classes which requires classes to print something (e.g. chem labs) and a graphic to circulate among those classes to tell them to come print their lab manual/etc at the OCF
- Need to communicate with their course staff to figure out how many pages they need, since often can exceed 20 pages per lab manual
ronitnath: graphic for reshalls to post on notice boards that their money goes towards free printing pages at the OCF

Administrivia¶

jaysa: got rid of some e-waste, still some left. will be updated next time e-waste bin is available
jaysa: in contact w/ SUFMO staff (filson) who are looking into my operations request for regular used toner pickup
jaysa: possible OCF fee? mixed feelings
There's several ASUC programs like SUPERB, the pottery studio etc… who want to increase the fee by like $9 and want the OCF on board with it.
jaysa: not really feeling super hot about this as don't really want to increase the fee for students. and our funding sources are kinda reliable-ish
tabi: will this go through if we're not onboard?
- jaysa: not likely as we have a lot of leverage. and changing our source of funding might cut off our current sources
oliverni: it's super weird that we have to apply every semester but would be great to make this more fixed.
- jaysa + ronitnath will look into this.
ronitnath: if you do a maximum utility thing our current thing is really good. even though we have to do paperwork.
jaysa: it's annoying to have to play this game of asking a bit more as they never cover what we ask for fully.
tabi: do we get a say in where the money will go if we do the fee? - no
ronitnath: will go to senate next week. this is right after BOD.
rjz: i'm in favor actually
jaysa: ASUC week 6 report done
jaysa: dev from ATDP coming in at ~7:30 to recruit
Dev: not short for developer, works in the school of education and works for a summer out reach program. Been involved with the ocf from 2017. Meghan Fox was the lead advisor, and she really helped push the ocf lab space be the home for high school students in the bay area.
From our perspective this is community outreach. There's now the question of what this partnership is supposed to be. And we've been going along with the absolute minimum so far as we're all super busy.
Looking for maybe one or two people to maintain a through line as the gm changes.
since gm changes every semester
Teaching a new class to teach JS etc… and would like to recruit people who are interested in doing this. Planning on sticking around for general.
laksith is interested but ppl dont want me cause im old sadge :(
nominate rsang

Site¶

rjz: oliver how was the cups CVE handled?
le 9.9 cvss!!1
oliver: oh yeah. there was an RCE in cups
disabled cups-browsed because we don't use it anyway
- cups-browsed: a helper daemon to browse the network for remote CUPS queues and IPP network printers and automatically create local queues
No one was able to execute remote code
why does the puppeted desktops run cups??
- none of the nix desktops run their own cups
oliver: changed pdf viewer to fix force rasterize issues
now using GNOME papers! but had to patch it to add a bigger print button
okular has too many buttons
oliver: removed google docs enforcer
print jobs seem to work fine!
no one knows what the original issue was :(
oliver: papercut is back online!
thanks to etw!!!!
one of the trays is broken, need new tray. on buysheet
- do we want to ask our printer people to get us one?
- or rjz procurement services
- around ~$85 on ebay - rjz
- trust rjz to get reliable printer
laksith & oliver spent a lot of time today debugging broken PCs
some motherboards fail to bios flashback, fixed by putting old CPU and flashing from the existing bios
snowball (the one someone knocked over) works with a 8600G. sorta
- green flashes on screen
- only motherboard
- ethernet doesn't work
- but wifi works
also debugged the broken PC from a long time ago that was in the server room?
- motherboard dead, will RMA
also emailed fractal design about the misaligned feet on some of them
L -rjz
- will come and take a look
joe: thoughts on PC building druing GM?
- oliverni: it needs to be supervised as we found some incomplete PCs
- jaysa: we probably should dedicate veteran staff to it. and not really walk away.
jaysa: gnome real?
- lemurseven: gnome requires GDM
- but gdm doesn't work well with…
- replace kde apps with gnome loll
tip for opstaff: if new PCs say they are out of disk, or they have a black screen with only a blinking cursor in the top left, just reboot the computer
are aware of these issues, will fix
do we want to stock some masks (free) in ocf? rjz has a bunch of masks that will expire early next year
