Minutes

  • Ringo: Security vulnerabilities on the new site
    • Louis: There was gonna be a new site but we got an email that one of our dependencies has a security vulnerability
    • Louis: This is a non-issue because it's not deployed, but we should have a policy for if it happens to something that is deployed
  • Ari: Update officers on the discord, website, gopherlink etc
    • Isai: We should do that
    • Cassie: I'll do that
    • Helen: To do that Isai needs to give me admin on discord
    • Mike: I'll update the website
  • Ari: Wiki
    • Ari: Everyone should do that before they leave
  • Ari: Transition dinner
    • Helen: It will happen this Friday or next week
    • Helen: I will make a call and then we'll talk
  • Ringo: Disposable cups
    • Isai: No
    • Louis: We've had them in the past
    • Helen: It's fine to get single use cups, they just have to be recyclable
    • Cassie: Let's make sure to get cups that fit the lids we already have
  • Ari: Morris tax email
    • Isai: We got a tax email that was meant for the Morris chapter
    • Louis: We already told them they got it wrong, it should be fine
  • Louis: MinneHack.io renewal
    • Louis: It's gonna expire, we need to file a purchase request to renew it now
    • Thomas: We're gonna renew it from the MinneHack account
    • Isai: Can we renew it for like 10 years?
    • Louis: Yeah we can do that
  • Ringo: CTF postmortem
    • Helen: I think this would be better for a specific CTF postmortem meeting, where Michael and Ringo are there
    • Helen: I think some of the problems leading up to it could be solved if we had been more involved
    • Louis: There were also some technical flaws that could've been solved with more micromanaging
    • Louis: Going forward, whoever's in charge of events needs to be clearer on what they need other people to do
    • Isai: We also need to buy prizes soon
  • Helen: Gaff tape usage
    • Helen: Stop using gaff tape to hang posters, it's bad for the walls
  • Helen: UNIX class videos
    • Isai: Those are already on the website
  • Helen: Intro to CS event (?)
    • Helen: It might be a cool idea to have an event where people who are new to the major hear about research, classes, tracks, and stuff like that from other students
    • Ari: This is something the architecture department does
    • Helen: I think we should advertise this during welcome week so freshman have an opportunity to know what's up
    • Ari: I think the hardest part will be figuring out who the people who know what they're doing are and getting them on board
  • Helen: More resources on website
    • Helen: I think anything we talk about at this event should also be on the website
    • Helen: The UNIX cheat sheets I found should be on there, too
    • Jack: We can put that on the resources page
  • Helen: CSCI "book" club
    • Helen: I think it would be cool to do a club where we all read a paper and then talk about it
    • Louis: This is similar to the idea we had about copying ACM National's interest groups
  • Cassie: MinneHack images
    • Cassie: I've been trying to track down the MinneHack pictures, but neither of the photographers have photos they're willing to give us
    • Isai: They gave us a video, I guess that's all they were recording
    • Isai: I have a ton of photos from ACM events, I'll figure out how to get them to us
