Machine Technical Reports

Servers

External Entities

Mail

  • Postcard from [MTL]

Guild/SOC

  • Tenancy busybee was rescheduled to... sometime in the future. Thanks tenancy.

Other Affairs

  • Corsair water cooler has probably run out of warranty by now, should be looked into ASAP.
    • [LCY] last talked to [EAR] about it about a month ago, said it would be under warranty for another month or so.
    • [JWB] reckons it was around $90 when we bought it.
    • [GOZ] We are very unlikely to have the paperwork, so it would be a lot of work to get it pushed through ACL.
    • Not an issue for committee meetings.
  • Last 4 phone bills have not been paid, [CFE] should hopefully get around to it ASAP.
  • Electrolux last said they have received the parts and can presumably start repairing it soon.

  • Wednesdays from 1st August to 15th August, pizza run at 18:30, movie start at 19:00.

Vive Nights

  • [JWB] will discuss with [CFE] when to do them, now working Tuesdays and Thursdays
  • Tuesday evenings work, although [JWB] has to leave early. [CFE] and [GIR] can do setup and pizza runs if numbers allow.

Sysadmin "Tech-talk" workshop

  • Tech talk on Blockchain was good, thanks [superoo7].
  • [JWB] heard that one attendee decided to come because of the variety of activities advertised.
    • [GOZ] Calling it a weekend-long LAN is not a good strategy to gather interest.
  • Food & catering.
    • Shopping list was done at the last minute, spent a total of $572.85 on catering.
    • We had too much food and went "well over-budget".
    • Food was planned based on levels of consumption at Unigames camp.
    • [FVP] notes that we did not have a proper budget for food, estimated budget was around $15-20 per person but it ended up being more like $30 per person.
    • Camp ran at a loss, not sure how much just yet, we were expecting that.
  • There was no documentation of how the network was physically configured in previous years.
  • Laundry was used effectively as a comms cupboard.
  • [GOZ] and [CFE] took measurements of the building, should be able to come up with foolproof plan for network setup next year.
    • TODO: [GOZ] Ask the owner to add some eyelets in convenient locations to attach ropes and cables.
    • Owner of Camp Lesch is aware of the concern about bathrooms.
  • Data usage was minimal, only 37GB of 100GB was used.
  • Need to be more organised in terms of printing things on paper (posters/rosters/activities).
  • [GOZ] This year's camp was not perfect, but it was a huge improvement. We just need more attendees.
