    • angelawuuski does art
    • vote (studentkrisk): 10 yes / 1 abstain
    • vote (angelawuuski): 12 yes / 0 abstain
  • rsang: we also need a date to meet with asuc senate
    • general overview of what services we do
    • very short meeting
  • need to meet with lauren for stripe portal for rso printing
    • no timeline currently
  • sufmo still have not gotten back to me for cleaning soryr michealsls
  • sufmo doesn't like that we got a couch without telling them
    • they are not obligated to bring it to the room
  • sbwilliams: 24/7 access for earl warren datacenter
    • also need to grab the broken power supply
  • sbwilliams: need to figure out ip request situation; ticket not replied to yet
  • sbwilliams: we have some eecs group sponsoring us, but both we and the datacenter people don't know who; no documentation
    • sponsering = pay for the billing of the datacenter
    • likely less than $100 per month
  • sbwilliams: many reasons to move more servers to earl warren
    • security; random undergrads have access
    • administrative steps are not too bad, will do after BoD
    • however, don't want nodes split across two different locations

operations§

  • electric stapler real!!!!!!!!
    • ppl rlly like it LMAO
    • should buy more
    • seemingly impossible to jam
  • rsang: drawing tablets arrived today
    • need to figure out policy
    • michaelzls: want to provide accessibility tools, e.g. foot pedals
  • elenah: we wanted to move cd drive to more visible location; potentially near scanner?
    • michaelzls: alternatively, replace one of scanners with cd drive
      • will create a bottleneck, as people use the scanners a lot
      • however, not that many people use the drive, so potentially not an issue?
    • sbwilliams: could put in opstaff pc to prevent theft and to make bottleneck less likely
      • also much less visible
    • this one doesn't have blu-ray support, potentially get another
    • usb reader might be best so that we can use a newer pc / dual monitor one
      • then, cable lock to prevent theft
      • or have it on request + ask for ids
      • want to make sure it can be used for many formats
        • CD R/W, CDROM, BluRay R/W, DVD R/W, MDISK R/W
    • will make a poster for visibility
      • make art!
  • sbwilliams: should consolidate signage so that it's less noise
    • much easier to figure out what to do for users
    • rsang:
      • take down poster behind desk and replace it with something else
      • then, put a list of things you can borrow to replace
  • lost/found
    • not allowed to have one
    • need to have a bin to collect them
    • at some point in the week, take them to the mlk help desk
    • sbwilliams: would they send someone to pick it up? will ask
    • sort of race condition, because people may only check in mlk lost/found or only check ocf

internal§

  • tech talk real????
  • We gambling at the arcade this weekend
    • round1 arcade trip

finance§

  • new desk(s)????
    • still waiting on the ikea
    • wacom tablets here
  • so uh how budget doing lmao
    • spent 9k so far
    • jane street money deposited today; +25K in misc
  • need to buy toner collectoin unit, 5 drums for colour printers
  • elenah: high capacity tray set for paper
    • need to confirm it is compatible with out printers, seemingly correct
    • take stress off opstaff, don't have to refill paper as often, especially during finals
    • colour printer: can continue adding 500 sheet trays and stack them, so easy to expand
      • speaking of colour printer: currently not very visable
      • potentially move it closer to center, where other printers are
      • more visible signage would help
      • could also turn off logjam, because it is farther away from the other ones and confuses people sometimes
      • eventually will switch to all color/B+W combo printers, for simplicity and they are better quality
        • want to be careful, because we use knockoff toner that may not be usable in other printers
      • currently, colour is ~70% after two months
    • would more than double the current capacity
    • will look more into it
  • monitors
    • michaelzls: will look more into
