In attendance were Voting members: arolfe tabbott nelhage tilia xsdg quentin k_lai spang danjared jhawk kchen Associate members: asedeno lockhart mitchb Prospectives: sj@laptop.org Guests: Officer Reports: tilia: We have at least $800. tabbott: It would be good if we could spend the sketchy jhawk money already. There’s $1700 minus about $300 of it. jhawk: It may go down by another $200 or so when I go through my ancient receipts. tabbott: When’s the next hackathon? nelhage: I don’t know. When are debathena developers free? We’ll figure it out after the meeting and send mail. MIT Computing Report: '() SIPB Projects Report: arolfe: reynelda’s cache battery has expired. quentin: We now have a pile of cat6 cables for the scripts virtualization and perhaps use in the office. quentin: In reference to that wakeup call thing people were talking about on email—it’s easy to set this up on Asterix. I set it up on my phone. [number not included in minutes] We should try to set this up officially. tabbott: Have you talked to Dennis? danjared: I’d also been trying to schedule a meeting with him... jhawk: The RAID was ordered and the UPS was half ordered. Office Report: jhawk: The office doesn’t have a modern generation multimeter. We used to have three, but two were broken. I propose we spend $250 on a new meter like the Fluke 179 and $100 on a set of probes. [xsdg seconds] tabbott: Is this a reasonable price? quentin: Yes, though I’m not familiar with the meter. [MPWB; jhawk $350 for multimeter] quentin: The airconditioning on all of campus is somewhat broken because the gas turbine tripped and they lost chilled water. tabbott: When were our filters last changed? jhawk: We followed up last time… tabbott: We should reopen that investigation. jhawk: I will. Education Report: tabbott: I sent email about a week ago about various opportunities about SIPB’s various education projects and how people can volunteer for them. If you’re interested in working on them, let me know. Also our website. Other: jhawk: They’re painting the building for commencement and I got them to patch the hole behind the source, but they weren’t willing to fix the trim on the door. tabbott: Graduation is on Friday. Other Other: sj@laptop.org: We have this silly OS and WM called Sugar on the XOs. We’re doing a Get Sugar campaign to get people to play with it and try their favorite applications and then fail miserably. We’d like to get more feedback on the LiveCD. Also if people are interested in testing installs. xsdg: I learned first-hand today that the Stata Center is leaky. Discussion Report: The meeting was adjourned at 19:48. Minutes taken and submitted by arolfe.
