\hed{What is the SIPB?}

The {\bf Student Information Processing Board} (pronounced
`Sip\hspace*{-2pt}\'{}-b\=e', occasionally written as `$\Sigma\Pi{\rm
B}$') is a student organization that supports computing at MIT.  
%We are {\emph not} the official Information Systems (though many of our
%members happen to work for them), but we provide a complement to the
%official infrastructure.  
Our members range from casual users to hard-core hackers; what we
share is a desire to help other students and members of the MIT
community with their computing needs.

\hed{How can I contact the SIPB?}

The SIPB office is on the fifth floor of the Student Center, next to
the Athena cluster.  We are in {\bf W20-557}, the office with the big
sign on the door saying ``We are not Athena''.
(People get confused frequently enough that we need to
emphasize that we're a student group, not part of MIT Information
Systems.)  You can also contact us by sending email to {\tt
sipb@mit.edu}, or by calling {\bf 253-7788}.  We're staffed
completely by volunteers, many of whom are students.  This means we're
open almost any time of the day, including 4 {\sc a.m.}  However, we
don't have set hours of operation like most organizations do.

\hed{What does the SIPB offer?}

The SIPB supports a wide range of computing interests.  We answer
questions over the phone, on-line, and in person; provide certain
resources (such as documentation and access to unusual hardware) to
the MIT community; and support hardware and software that ``falls
between the cracks'' of the other support mechanisms at MIT.

We provide support for Athena, MIT's distributed computing
environment, make available additional software and hardware (such as
a digital scanner, various tape drives, and a Macintosh on MITnet).
We also provide support for both Linux and NetBSD, which allow many
students living on campus or in an FSILG to use Athena software on
their personal computers.  We also provide many services to MITnet and
the Internet, including a news server (news.mit.edu), web server
({\tt http://www.mit.edu/}), and an Internet FAQ Archive ftp/mail server
(rtfm.mit.edu).

\hed{Who can join the SIPB?}

Anyone who is interested in what we do can become a prospective member
of the SIPB. You do not have to know a lot about computers, and you
don't have to be a computer science major. You {\bf do} need the
desire to learn and help other users. Our meetings are held every
Monday night at 7:30 {\sc p.m.} in our office (W20-557) and are open
to the public.

If you would like to answer questions on the phone or in person, write
documentation or programs, or are interested in learning more about
SIPB in general, come by our office or take a look at our web
page: {\tt http://www.mit.edu/sipb/}
