Minutes

  • Jack: Mark
    • As a matter of record, Mark will advertise events and print stuff for us
  • Ari: MLH
    • Isai: Jack is reaching out to them, they sent us a "what to do next thing"
    • Jack: We have a few more things to do but that's it. I'll talk to Louis and Michael about it.
  • Jack: Regular fridge cleaning (throwing out old food)
    • Jack: Ok so basically we should start enforcing the "write the date on ur food" rule, because there was a moldy sandwich in the fridge for like three weeks
    • Isai: Also, everything in the fridge should be in a container
  • Ringo: Buy graph paper
    • (Nobody here knows why Ringo wants graph paper)
    • Ringo says we need graph paper as a general amenity, like forks.
    • Helen: We don't need graph paper, you can print graph paper using the printer
    • Everyone agrees, decided not to purchase graph paper
  • Isai: ACM group photo with props
    • Helen is anti, Isai and Jack are pro
    • Isai: Arranging this is a job for membership, possibly?
  • Ari: Meeting with Mark
    • Jack: It went well, Mark is willing to help us with anything advertising related
    • Jack: He can print stuff, put things on the atrium TV's, retweet our tweets, put stuff on the department homepage
    • Isai: We should tweet about CTF, Epic think talk, and LAN party and have Mark retweet us
  • Ringo: if last week's "adds meeting minutes" PR isn't merged when the next meeting starts, make the systems committee people fix that shit
    • Mike: Last week's minutes and newsletter weren't on the website for 9 days because the pull request didn't get reviewed
    • Mike: So in the future we should make sure to hold the systems committee accountable for reviewing in a timely manner if we're gonna keep having to go through PR's to get things on the website
  • Louis: minnehack.com dns renewal
    • Isai: We got an email about that, we need to figure out how to pay for the renewal under the new purchasing rules
    • Isai: I'll email Louis and put it as a TODO for him
  • Jack: MinneHack press kit
    • Jack: This might be a medium term/next year thing, but we should have something to send to news outlets for advertising MinneHack
    • Jack: I'll start working on this or delegating it to someone
  • Isai: Wiki updating
    • Isai: For Jack, Thomas, and myself especially, anything new that isn't in the wiki needs to get added as we go along
  • Lukas: Receipt record keeping
    • Helen: Lukas said to check the doc before you add receipts to the drive, there's a README in there
    • Isai: It looks really good, I put some stuff in there over the weekend
  • Ari: Email from Tavolo
    • Helen: That's the email about advertising for this startup who said they would give people "equity, or a small salary"
    • Helen: I don't think we should advertise for them, because we have a policy of valuing our members' time and labor
