Minutes of the meeting 12/12/2000 Attendance: [GMB] Grahame Bowland [MST] Anil Sharma [YAK] Ian McKellar [TAZ] Tracey Brown [DTA] Leighton Haynes [TDH] David Manchester [ANT] Anita Mathers [TRS] James Andrewartha [NTU] Nick Bannon [MTL] Mark Tearle Meeting opened 6:35pm President's Report: * Retrieved money from UCS. * Placed a 386 into UCS rack to reserve space. Might want to look at mirror again, as there's a PC in UCS now. We should talk to Toivo about using a 9GB? Barracuda (IDE). [GMB] moves that [YAK] be struck from the meeting. [YAK] departs. Vice President's Report: * Nothing to report. Treasurer's Report: * Last balance was posted to the list by [MST], was ~$3500. Secretary's Report: * [TAZ] failed Java. Correspondence Report: * Unchecked. Machine Report: * mooneye is doing better, has been upgraded, will be replaced anyway. Most likely with a Pentium machine over at UCS that's faster than [MTL]'s desktop machine - [MTL] won't get it. General Business: * Mirror - UCS should do it anyway, but are we interested in being involved in a virtual host, with UCS and UCC being billed equally? Traffic from AARNet will be free - [GMB] will follow up. [YAK] has a fundamnetal objection the the software that [NTU] has a fetish for. * Wavelan stuff - people involved in aqcuiring items aren't at meeting. * Console boxes - [YAK] thinks we should spend no more than $1500, [DTA] and [GMB] agree. We would like them to be in place by O-Day. Quote came in at ~$2000, which means we need to raise $500. We should acquire items in 'dribbles' ([MST]'s wording) as opposed to one fell swoop. [JEB] donated a motherboard. We should build one console box in the next couple of weeks. * There is possibly a free case at Archdeacon. Desktops would be good in regards to space. Need to work out when we'll buy items on list, and who will be responsible for them and how it's being paid for. * CPUs for mussel - 700s or 800s would be good. Maybe we should just get new CPUs for console boxes and leave mussel as is. Could just take boxes down to Computer Man and ask nicely what they can do. In respect to HDDs, 20GB barracudas would be better than 10GB anythings. * Quiz Night - [ANT] wrote kickass letter. [TAZ] read it and liked it. [TAZ] will book Floreat. [GMB] apologises for being incompetent. * Clean up - Should have one on the 27/28th (Wed/Thur). [MST] will go. If nothing happens/no one goes, we'll have another one. [MST] to email list. * 26th Birthday - Should hold next week after committee meeting at University Asian. Actually, we'll organise it for Friday night (22nd) to meet at The Last Drop around 5/5:30 for drinks, then go over to University Asian for around 7. Cost $20/head. Will organise raffle with Tshirts/mugs for prizes. [TAZ] will bring raffle book. Tickets $1 each or $2 for 3. [TAZ] may provide some Nutrimetics for a prize if anyone's interested. [TAZ] They have some nice body lotion. [GMB] I could use some body lotion. [TDH] screams in agony. * O-Day - Should put Tshirts in random bags (UCC chick and 25th birthday etc), maybe also some mugs. We should audit tshirts. Meeting closed 7:30pm.
