Notification

Management

• General management: @Ronit Nath @Joe Wang

• Non-decision committee and general updates in GM

  1. Good

  2. Vision on what the OCF space is → recruitment next semester

  3. "OCF is not a printing facility"

  4. Experimental projects are the basis of the OCF → problems with maintenance and documentation
  5. Puppet is an example of old tech stack hard to work with
  6. Laksith: staff should be comfortable with creating new projects
  7. Feng: recruitment is important next semester, lack of technical staff. training is also important
  8. Ronit: need to advertise new "cutting-edge" technology more
  9. Laksith: facilitate VM creation, people can run and test OCF services on them!!
  10. Technical privileges at the OCF
  11. → https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYwDPNrEe9Ai78XND_hCWpzFNH9shu_g3jNGWqPZ5VVRJN_g/viewform (also during GM)
  12. Many shadow positions, like root staff, gapp, and other things
  13. Root:
  14. Have levels of root staff based on roles
  15. Could be worrying: race conditions
  16. What if use sudo to give specific command permissions
      • rjz to joe: re specific point of accessing logs - sure, eg. adm group, but what is the next step? One has access to logs but can't act on them?
  17. laksith & rjz: staffvm is the better option
  18. Opstaff position responsibilities for next semester
  19. Opstaff Training
  20. opstaff projects, there were some discussion about whether they should be part of opstaff JD
  21. Laksith: opstaff projects should not be a thing. time could be better used for answering procedure-related questions. should have better documentation.
  22. Feng: remove opstaff projects, and make it just general projects, so people can still work on them if they wish. can incentivize recruitment too.
  23. Ronit: agreed
  24. Laksith: OCF will lose its charm if projects cease to be motivated by passion
  25. Tabi & Jeda: hard to get deep work at frontdesk, and opstaff would love to learn more about the OCF. should formalize training.
  26. Agreement: remove opstaff projects JD and introduce better opstaff training for standard OCF procedures.

  27. Oliver :olive:

  28. Oliver has officially resigned as SM.

  29. Emergency election for SM right now. Open for nomination.
  30. Nominating Rjz

  31. Committee autonomy

  32. Ronit: committees should be more independent to increase efficiency

  33. Ronit: also we should trust them more
  34. Laksith: bod is like optional except for very important decision-making. should also make ample use of general meeting

  35. Inventory management system

  36. Formal inventory tracking system

  37. One more thing (I forgot, rip ~Ronit)
  38. Site management @Laksith Venkatesh Prabu
  39. Trying new (open) kernel drivers for NVIDIA on Tabitha (opstaff desk computer).
  40. From my testing this is now actually more reliable compared to the proprietary drivers and has reached feature parity.
  41. Just keep an eye out for any errors / crashes / freezes.
  42. Tabitha - for my notes if anyone is interested
  43. Rjz can be pinged.
  44. Operations staff matters @Jeda Krisnell Dionisio
  45. Pay period 4: $2926.50 off CACSSF
  46. Request: better inventory system for paper/consistent paper delivery
  47. Returning Opstaff feels like this semester especially has been difficult with consistent paper supply
  48. Hiring matters
  49. Job description
  50. Google Form Application
  51. OA: 19.47
      • Want this to be out by Friday
