TIE says we should get Lemon Diet Coke - Snacks are reasonably stocked, apart from Smarties (ZAR wants them) - OGM spend $300 on stuff General Business: - Upgrades: - Cod needs upgrading to be capable of playing games/videos. OGM concerned that it will only be used for games/videos, and even though other work has precedence, it's a hassle to move people off. TIE, AHC + others think that we should upgrade anyway. (TRS arrives) - AHC would like to see win2k installed, wouldn't be capable of running on Cod very well at the moment. - We have Office only for the Mac, not installed yet Upgrade plan: - New video card for cobbler, new cod built, cod parts -> new fileserver Will be ~$1400 all up including hard disks. Possibly look at donations? Fileserver: - 2x80 gig disks in RAID, Solaris x86, NFS mounting. - Not used for /home, just dump space, general storage AJW thinks we should get a Lego Mindstorms set. Cost is ~$400 Mail list for opinions. Lego will hold it's value fairly well. Again, possible donations? OGM: How much money does UCC have in previous years? Tends to be around $2000-$3000 TRS: We have ~$3000 in the bank currently TIE to mail list asking for opinions on the upgrade Motion passed to purchase 2x80 gig hard disks for ~$225 each AHC might be able to get a P4 1.6ghz socket 423 (big socket style) - Replacing OCM - meeting to be called for 7:00 13th July (UCCLAN 2 1/2) MSH to mail announcement - NRR: Committee members to start/lead projects - need to find projects to do - will work best if people start doing things and other people look then follow, rather than just prodding people to "do projects" - PXY says he doesn't have enough access to machines to do things he wants to do. TRS and MSH disagree - he can do stuff if he wants, PXY should ask wheel people more. - AJW: Programming competition? - NRR to talk to GMB, reassign to someone. - Wheel needs to sort out new password etc. Possibly next UCCLAN Meeting closed 1:47
