Minutes
- Louis: check ngn conv date
- Ace: ACM symposium Palantir sponsorship (should we send a letter to ACM national?)
- Helen: ACM symposium is working with palantir, they generally do ethically sketchy things.
- Mike: Specifically, they work with ICE.
- Helen: It looks like Ace wants to send an email, saying that it's bad on account of violating your code of conduct. I think it's a good idea, I do not have energy to do it. When is the symposium?
- Helen: The symposium is next week. (28th)
- Charles: Can we ask Ace to do it.
- Hemant: I can work on it.
- Helen: Put it in the main drive folder, and I can ask Ace if they want input.
- Charles: we can all sign it.
- Helen: Every officer who wants to sign it can sign it.
- Helen: CTF
- Helen: Louis, how are you feeling with regards to CTF.
- Louis: We should start thinking about that.
- Helen: What do you need for CTF to happen?
- Louis: A bunch of problems to be written.
- Helen: When do you need these things by.
- Louis: Before the start of the event. (Dec 3)
- Hemant: There are unsolved problems from last year, I think.
- Helen: We can make this a topic every week, there should be more support for this year.
- Charlie: We could send an email to a professor.
- Louis: If anyone wants to write problems, do.
- Helen: How many problems do you want written?
- Louis: At least 20.
- Hemant: we can re-use the one from the bridge.
- Louis: we can talk to mikel about that.
- Helen: I think we're 5 weeks out.
- Helen: let me know if you need help talking to profs
- Louis: lets have it end fri at 1500 unless otherwise specified
- Helen: SDC
- Helen: we need to figure out prizes.
- pre-buy
- Mike: should we only do first and second since there are only 3 teams.
- Helen: I am thinking that we should only do one
- Mike: i feel like I wouldnt want to be the only one who does not get a prize
- Helen: yeah
- Charles: what happens with leftover prizes?
- Louis: Rot in the closet.
- Helen: how many prizes do we want to do?
- Nathan: I will buy the prizes in a timely maner. This is on the record.
- Helen: ask them if we can use them later, if yes there really isn't a reason to not pre-buy.
- Helen: Pizza
- Helen: We should change our normal pizza order. We should not get the second cheese.
- Mike: I think that we should not ever run out of the safe option (cheese)
- Nathan: we can use the money from the not pizza to balance the budget.
- Nathan: SSF funding update/advertising clause
- Nathan: Any event where we fund it by SSF we need to put "funded by [ssf] in the advertisment"
- Nathan: since we are requesting big money, we need to do a presentation to justify the request.
- Nathan: Minnehack SSF reqest
- Nathan; in past years, we had a separate sheet for minnehack, why is this?
- Helen: we only made that to make the graph.
- Nathan: what do we want to request?
- Charles: we are already requesting coffman.
- Helen: I think busses, too. (coach bus and john with the teens)
- Nathan: promotional items? probably not
- Helen: we for sure cannot request shirts. maybe the lanyards and the bags.
- Helen: I also think that we should ask for qdoba money, that is one of our largest expenses.
- Charles: LAN Party
- Charles: UMN eSports say they want to do Overwatch again and they think CS:GO is a good idea as well
- Charles: They'll work out whether 4v4 or 2v2 is better
- Helen: Make sure you invite them to our LAN Party discord also
- Hemant: I can go to IEEE's meeting next week
- Charles: I also intend to go if I'm free
- Helen: Tell them we're working on the poster already
- Hemant: I just talked to IEEE, they said their meeting are weds at 6 and they already talked about LAN party
- Hemant: They said they would email us
- Helen: Okay, please still go to the meeting because we want to make sure things happen.
- Helen: I will email the chairs and tables guy about chairs and tables, we have the atrium reserved, and we have money for pizza.
- Hemant: SESB
- Hemant: nothing relevant to our group operations happened in either meeting
- Hemant: the most recent one was the deans doing a Q&A, but we were the ones answering the questions
- Hemant: both meetings have just been free market research and a tirade about how CSE is so unique
- Charles: Donuts
- Charles: We should make a list like we have for Donuts for talking to professors
- Charles: We should also ask professors to announce it to their classes if they're coming
