General Business: * Room justification - SOC Council will mail us at the end of the year. * UCC Camp 2000 - Was good, had good turn out. Windows machines even talked to each other. Next year we need a better map and a list of things we need to take. We should also book venue in advance, and promote it better/earlier. Venue kicked ass. * Meeting times and dates - Should update script. People need to put agenda items on earlier, and use the mailing list better for discussions. Apologies should be given atleast 2 days in advance so meetings can be moved if necessary. We will go back to using the minutes book for handwritten minutes. Over semester break, meetings will be held on an adhoc basis, meeting times will be assigned at the end of each meeting. * Slot 1 machine building - have motherboards, need cases, hdds, RAM and 2 new PIII CPUs for mussel. Need bank balance ([TRS] or [YAK]) and quotes mailed to list. * August traffic refund - [DUC] didn't do. [GMB] will do because he's not [DUC]. * Room, tool cupboard, shelving - Will deal with next weekend on Saturday and Sunday. * FAL run - [arguments] Will monitor stock, and decide next time. [MST] will count how much stock we have after meeting. [YAK] Skippy is God. * Wavelan - $200 pledges for wavelan. Need converter. [YAK] may donate 2MB card, will donate until he donates/we buy. Should get an ISA converter card. Also need an aerial adapter. [BRQ] and [NTU] will get adapter, [BEN] will get card. We'kll handle Skippy's pledge when UCC buys 11MB card. * Quiz Night - Could have as a Fresher welcome type of thing, perhaps a week after official Fresher Welcome so we can get random Freshers turning up. Floreat Hotel sounds like a good venue. They're cheaper, and they donate prizes. [GMB] will find out dates - will have Fresher Welcome 2 weeks into semester, and Quiz Night 3 weeks in. [GMB] will also book venue. We should also organise questions in advance. * Keys - [TDH] hasn't located yet, but's he's currently moving house so they may turn up yet. We still don't know where spare set is. We'll see what happens. * Next meeting is next week. [NTU] thinks we should have an event in the next 3 months, eg Eric building night. Meeting closed 7:32pm.
