Agenda

General

  • Regular reports week 8 complete
  • Add staff hours
  • Ronit: 1-2pm Tuesday, Wednesday
  • P3/P4 assets in socreg
  • rjz: I'd say user data contains P3, not sure about P4, therefore hal, dataloss
  • Lauren meeting updates:
  • We can try to get parking space, but we'll need to pay for it (ABSA)
  • any current parking can be reimbursed (ABSA)
  • chartered program summit will happen at some point, non-graduating directors with university relations leanings should go (networking with other chartered programs, related information)
  • Web interest group meeting at 8 or 9pm Tuesdays
  • It should be fine to run in the side while decal is happening?
  • HPC interest group meetings remain at 5pm on Sundays
  • Infra interest group?
  • Oliver: Hard to get to the point at which you can contribute
    • Gets even harder as infra gets older and new half-baked infra is added
  • Ronit: Maybe being an intermediary between new staff and SMs?
  • njha: first step is reading one page of documentation and a lot of people don't read it
  • Oliver: Tell people docs exist and tell them about project board

Site

  • Autoswitch KVM test?
  • Self-built KVM is very hard especially with USB-C, will be on hold and not sure if it will be resumed
  • Maybe worth it as a fun project even if not feasible
  • Desktop refresh?
  • Got it in the lab, running *nix
  • Login works
  • Working on autolock for Wayland
  • other scripts like lab stats and remaining pages to print
  • Size of a school Dell optiplex
  • BARE magazine photoshoot (lab reservation request 3/12 5-7PM)
  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Iy9piVRY5P5IAt7rWDADGISIp9cyIhAISVSswfk0IT8/edit (reservations form)
    • jaysa will email and ask if they'd move it outside lab hours
    • tell them to send us the pictures afterwards I'm very curious what they think is model photoshoot worthy in the OCF

Opstaff

  • Housekeeping reminder:
  • Clean up after BoD, Decal, and GM
    • From Opstaff2324 Slack:
    • "if u close the lab pls take like 3 minutes before the end of your shift to make sure chairs are where they're supposed to be"
    • "im not staying for an hour unpaid just to clean up after volstaff"
    • "it's kinda always messy" (Thursday mornings)
  • I can't reiterate enough. After closing, it is not Opstaff's job. Do your part in making sure the lab is clean when you're the last one in the OCF.
  • Majority on ASUC since they take a while to Stage 5/approve, but finance agents, please Stage 2 faster if capacity
    • I send them PR information every 2 weeks
  • Bring back the cords
  • Haven't calculated for PR3, but will be less than $2632.25
  • Start hiring process soon?
  • Working on projects to further the OCF's reach and efficiency, such as:
    • Creating OCF advertisements and documentation to spread awareness of services
    • Collecting and analyzing user feedback to give actionable advice to OCF volunteers on how to improve OCF services (??)
    • Organizing tech-related events to take place in the lab
    • Partnering with the ASUC and other student groups in need of OCF services
    • Documenting the impact of the OCF on the Berkeley community
    • Researching and applying for additional sources of funding for the lab
    • Attending scheduled meetings with the LEAD Center Advisor to the OCF and with the Operations Manager to communicate issues and progress on projects and receive briefing relevant to their work
    • Manning the desk and helping people with the lab and printers
    • Have lots of free schedule both semesters
