Minutes of the SIPB Meeting of 02/28/2005 The meeting was called to order at 7:29 by kchen. In attendance were Voting members: paigep jmorzins golem merolish kchen kenta Associate members: kcr jhawk belmonte tibbets oschwar cporter asedeno deberg gschmidt | rjbarbal Prospectives: janetryu jtwang presbrey yoz tabbott aerynne Guests: andersk Treasurer's Report, aka Dhxdoulzsp Report: kchen notes that the secretary was wondering what new reports would appear this meeting and obligingly provides new names. Where is the treasurer? Apparently not here. Chairman's Report (Kijelao Report): jtwang nominated for membership; is accepted. He's hacked on some stuff, has been on zephyr and in the office. He also wrote a script after talking with ike about stalking people (6-0-0) Office Report (Hmmupmsmg Report): our second 747 disappeared. Should we deploy the reserve or buy another one? Also, our 777 has been jamming badly - should we talk to the vendor? (jhawk takes a poll: most of the office wants to get another one. white-ballot for $100 worth of staplers.) [jhawk allocation: $100 for staplers] move to allocate $20 to lure people to work on AskSIPB; if you're interested, stay after the next weekend. [kevinr allocation: $20 for food] Office Cleaning Report (Bxniwossocgh Report): It's a pit. Except for the refrigerator. MIT Computing Report: kenta typed his password into one of the machines that were hacked last week. Hopefully he didn't change SIPB things he had bits to. po14 was sad this weekend, and sly had some problems with it today, so it may not be entirely fixed yet. cocytus was sad on Friday. Computer Services: jtwang wrote a script to use an apache log analyzer on web. kenta is working on a script that will send slashdot to zephyr - apparently rayhe's done the same thing with fark; kenta finally admits to doing the same thing as well. kenta also comments that it would be nice if there were a knoppix-like livecd with kinit and afs. Publications Report: things look okay. Ambience report: Oops, this is the office cleaning report. We already did that. Orientation Report: It's sooner than you think! IAP Report: It's sooner than you think! CokeComm Report: aerynne is going to get coke soon, but she's going away, so we might run out. golem remarks that the world is actually full of things. Other: email jtwang if you're interested in getting in on a group order of Linux HDTV cards while they're still legal. Other Other: kenta is an ASA Executive Board Graduate Member-at-Large. He apparently towers over us. Anyway, the ASA is reorganizing; feel free to talk to him if you want to give him your opinion. jhawk wants him to say something more exciting. kenta attempts to take a poll, is sidetracked, and changes the results. jhawk actually didn't have the most frivolous straw poll of the meeting - shocking. The meeting was adjourned at 7:50. Minutes taken and submitted by paigep.
