Computer Services: Publications Report: golem: Through the magic of the Internet, I was able to obtain copies without interacting with a human or a copier. Orientation Report: jbarnold: E-mail or zephyr me if you want to help out with the CPW Midway. It's April 17, 4-6 PM. There's also the issue of whether SIPB should provide food and drink to the prefrosh. I'd like to seek input on whether we should and if so what type of food. I don't think this will affect SIPB's yield because they're only prefrosh. I'm skeptical whether we should. golem: I think last time we took flats of coke from Cokecomm, and while it may or may not have affected yield, it provided us with tasty coke to drink during the midway. belmonte: Serving drinks to the prefrosh is a fine idea. golem: There's a large amount of entropy within a can of coke. It's an information service. jbarnold: I'd like to allocate $50 for soda for prefrosh during the CPW midway. [jbarnold allocation: $50 for soda] IAP Report: CokeComm Report: Other: Other Other: golem: I no longer have the shit end of the stick. I got an office in the Stata building. Stata still sucks, but I don't have to put up with it anymore. The people who were assigned to the fishbowl dispersed in various directions. It's just empty. jtu: APO is running its Big Screw charity fundraiser next week. You should nominate people you believe deserve the Big Screw. golem: Mutt sucks. The meeting was adjourned at 7:34:40.
