Minutes
- Ringo: Changing date for CTF2
- Ringo: We probably shouldn't schedule an in-person event on valentine's day
- Ringo: If we move it to Friday I can skip class
- Louis: Systems talked about this, moving it earlier doesn't really work and valentine's day doesn't work
- Ringo: We could also have the in-person event not be the day it starts
- Louis: I would like it to be the day it starts
- Louis: I think we should also not start it at 12, if lightning talks is any indication of attendance
- Ace: Would 4-8 work?
- Louis: That's still a little early, but it works
- Isai: I'll reserve a room for the 15th from 4-8 and we'll see what we decide
- Louis: Do we want to have a sign-up form for CTF 2?
- Louis: We also need a poster, and we need to add it to the website
- 3-115 confirmed 16-20 Feb 15th
- Ringo: Copy updates
- Ari: Newsletter + MinneHack volunteer email
- Ari: These need to be sent
- Mike: I can send the newsletter after I get the form from Louis
- Ari: DRC email
- Ari: We got an email from the DRC about a job posting
- Isai: I can put it in the job postings channel
- Ari: Donuts with the Department
- Ari: When is the next one? We need to start planning it
- Isai: We have money for three more this semester
- Helen: I'll make the reservation and let you know what the date is
- Isai: We need to tell the professors well in advance for this one to make sure they're present
- Helen: Printing MinneHack posters via the department
- Ari: Class visits
- Isai: I am currently the only one signed up for class visits
- Louis: I think we should prioritize ACM events over MinneHack because we're already over capacity for RSVP's
- Isai: I'm moving the class list to it's own sheet because it's currently in the master spreadsheet
- Sign up for class visits, link is in brass class
- Louis: MinneHack RSVP's
- Louis: We currently have just under capacity RSVP's, but I agree with Ari that many of those people won't attend, so I think we should take more RSVP's before we cut it off
- Isai: Intel event
- Isai: The Intel people have been very bad about communicating with us
- Isai: We asked them to elaborate on the event, and they haven't gotten back to us
- Louis: We should send them an alarmingly worded email telling them we require information or we won't be able to advertise
- Ringo: Misc CTF stuff
- Ringo: CTF 3 advertising
- Ringo: Start in 2/16, possibly before
- Ringo: We need to know the number of team's we'll have about a month before the event
- Helen: It can be mentioned briefly at MinneHack
- Ringo: CTF 3 procurement
- Ringo: We have a list of everything we need to buy
- Isai: We can order them when we get the SSF money
- Isai: We get the check the week of the 28th
- Ringo: CTF 3 tekne copy
- Ringo: Tekne is a Minnesota awards company, we could look at the list of people they've given cyber security awards to and email them about being sponsors
- (https://tekneawards.org/past-recipients)
- Isai: What are they sponsoring?
- Ringo: Prizes, or maybe doubling up on things we're buying with SSF money
- Ringo: We should also potentially set up a resume system for this, similar to MinneHack
- Ace: If you write the copy for that email I'll look over it
- Ringo: CTF 2 Ashmita
- Louis: Ashmita agreed to write problems for CTF 2 but she hasn't yet
- Louis: We should reach out to other people to write them or ping her
- Ringo: More aggressive schedule for CTF 3
- Ringo: It will be hard to write enough problems in time for the event
- Ringo: We should put the systems committee blurb back into the newsletter to get more help with problems
- Louis: We could have a systems interest group meeting
- Ringo: We could also go on the frostbite thing
- Ringo: Grad students could also help us write problems
- Ringo: Helper people for CTF 3
- see above, basically
- Louis: At CTF 2, advertise the systems interest meeting and recruit people to help write problems
- Ringo: Also see if anyone we know would be willing to write problems for us
- Isai: I can ask people in my security class
- Ringo: CTF 3 registration process
- Ringo: Have a way to register your interest, then email people about dates and teams
- Ringo: Talking to school about CTF 3
- Ringo: Shana had something that sounded relevant to this
- Ringo: Are we requiring people to be UMN students?
- Louis: No, probably not
- Ringo: Do we want to email Shana?
- Louis: It might be a good idea to email her if you want to
- Louis: Purchasing {mlbox parts, hestia raid drives}
- Isai: We're waiting for Thomas on that
- Ringo: Papertrail
- Ace: This is a systems meeting topic
- Louis: Agree
- Ringo: Better CTF poster
- Ringo: What is the process for getting better posters from Rapson
- Ari: You have to put $20 in your Gopher Gold, then go to the computer lab in the basement
- Ringo: Can I get reimbursed for the $20?
- Isai: Absolutely not
- Ringo: Prime Digital people
- Ringo: This is people from a for-profit college that isn't a real school, are they allowed to come to MinneHack?
- Helen: We've already turned away people from a similar institution, so we should stick to that precedent
- Ace: I don't see the problem with accepting people from boot-camps, since they're still students
- Ringo: The problem is that for-profit "schools" aren't accredited universities
- consensus: There's no harm done by allowing boot-camp people to attend, we can email the other person we emailed and reverse the decision
