Minutes

  • Isai: Keep the garfields within the room
    • Isai: Some garfields spilled into the hall, which is unprofessional
    • Isai: No more garfields
  • Isai: Coffee & Donuts
    • Isai: I'm gonna email the professors again to let them know it's on Thursday
    • Louis: We should also tell them that no professors showed up last time
    • Louis: Also we should start emailing sooner
    • Louis: Ringo's idea was to schedule meetings with the professors at that time and then all cancel
  • Jack: MinneHack sponsor retrospective
    • Jack: I sent a survey out to MinneHack sponsors, and like 6 people answered
    • Jack: I put together a document detailing their comments
    • Highlights:
      • Check-in was cramped
      • They had to reuse mentor name tags
      • Booths weren't very effective after the swag ran out
      • Mentoring was good, somebody said we should group by technology, not by company
      • Someone (SPS?) said we should have judging figured out beforehand
      • Potentially get a bigger venue, don't have it conflict with the super bowl
    • Louis: We should look into moving the date next year
    • Isai: Jack, can you email them and find out how much it costs?
  • Ari: Friday 6PM Super Event Meeting @IEEE

    • Isai: I can be there, can anyone else?
    • Ari: I think they only wanted one person
    • Louis: What is this event?
    • Isai: That's what the meeting is about

  • Isai: Target emails

    • Louis: I have his number, I'll call him
  • Louis: Fridge
    • Louis: I can get a free fridge on craigslist if everyone hates this fridge
    • Isai: I can borrow a fridge this weekend
    • Isai: Where do we put this fridge
    • Louis: Just put it in the hall for Reuse
    • Jack: Can we get Reuse to just come get it?
    • Louis: I say we get a working fridge before we throw this one away
  • Isai: CTF 3 outreach
    • Michael: We have posters

    • Louis: Actually I changed my mind that's a bad idea
  • Thomas: Service event
    • Thomas: Ben Koch wanted to know what service event we were going to do at the cookout
    • Louis: That rice thing he suggested sounded fine
    • Cassie: Do it didn't
    • Louis: We could make a template email and have them email their representatives
    • Louis: We could support net neutrality
    • Jack: Why can we not just take money in exchange for hotdogs?
