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 labAttending 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
