	Treasurer's Report:

	He's here!  Trip to Barbados was fun.  Nothing more to say.

	Chairman's Report:

	She's here, too.

	Yeah, right.

	Failed Coup Leaders' Report:

	Oprah, Phil, and Geraldo are fighting for rights, film at 11.

	Office Report:

	The office is put back together.  The AC is mostly here but
isn't finished; Marc should talk to phys. plant tomorrow.

	MIT Computing Report:

	7.3 is out, run for the hills.  Can you say "set skip_dash"?
I knew you could.

	Computer Services:

	Our staff-test workstations get RVD from b11, this is
silly.  probe suggests pub-test-sys AFS cluster.  There are no
staff-test RVDs in w20.  Perhaps we should use AFS packs on
everything except the vs2s, which should stay on RVD.  Decision: One
RT and one DECstation are staff test via AFS, the rest get rvds from
the standard place.

	Some machines in the office are still running 7.2 because our
xlogin hasn't been updated.  Decision: Update the machines now, update
xlogin whenever someone gets around to it (probably kkkken).  Remember
to deal with machine customizations. (Look in 
/afs/sipb/project/office-machines.)

	Do we still want our DECstations to still be access on, given
that there are public DECstations now?  Probably not.  How about
putting sipb in the passwd file and using noremote?  Yes.

	We aren't quite sure why we don't have an RS/6000 yet; probe
is still looking into it.

	The Intel box needs another caretaker.  No one is really
excited, bjaspan volunteers (surprise).

	Ronald-Ann Backup Report:

	warlord will do it remotely from clh if someone loads tapes

	Publications Report:

	eichin isn't here.  We'd like copies of everything for the
Midway (tomorrow).  dkk has time tomorrow and will be useful.

	Getting Started on Athena is out-of-date, wait until we get
knew ones to give it out.  Apparently, an up-to-date version is
available via online help.

	R/O Report:

	It's here.  
	
	Midway is tomorrow night 7-10.  Be there, be useful.
Consensus is to bring the NeXT.  Bring stuff there by 6:30.
Volunteers to be there: jcbourne, ckclark, dkk maybe, rls, ???

	Jenifer still needs tour sheperds for Thursday, 7pm in lobby 7.
All you have to know is where E40, the Media Lab, Tech Sq., and 6-120
are.  (There is no W91 tour this year.) Send her email to volunteer.

	IAP Report:

	October is IAP planning month. :-)

	CokeComm Report:
