Minutes

• Helen: Rules review
  • Tabled until Cole updates them
• Louis: NTS good news
  • Louis: Irene says we're allowed to keep doing whatever it is we're doing
  • Cole: Are they pushing back the deadline?
  • Louis: I assume so, but it's worth checking again. The whole thing's probably frozen with all this
  • Cole: They might use the empty campus as an opportunity to do everything
  • Louis: Perhaps
• Louis: LAN party
  • Louis: We should think about moving it online
  • Helen: I'm in contact with some of the gamers online, I can reach out and see if they wanna organize some tournaments
  • Helen: We can advertise it online. I don't know how well it will work but it's a fun idea :)
  • Helen: When was it supposed to to be?
  • Louis: April twenty (something)
• Amethyst: Postpone events (instead of cancelling)
  • Helen: I think that's a good idea
  • Mike: I don't think that works, there's no more semester
  • Helen: I think we should move more things online though, like paper pals
  • Charlie: We are still doing the TigerGraph event on the 7th
  • Charlie: Cole, can you put that in announcements?
  • Cole: Yeah, I got it.
  • Helen: I think we could do paper pals as a discord call. If we have it a week or two from now would that work?
  • Helen: What other events should go online?
  • Kelton: I think we said CTF could go online
  • Louis: It's theoretically possible, but the infrastructure would be different from what we've built
  • Hemant: A trivia would be easier, but I don't want to write the problems
  • Helen: Are we willing to set up the infrastructure to do it this semester, or do we wanna punt on it for this semster?
  • Louis: Probably not, but I may change my mind
  • Hement: We could ask Michael for help
  • Louis: Yeah. If he says no, I don't want to do it with just two people
  • Louis: I'll talk to Michael and other CTF people to see if we can get help
  • Louis: There's lots of people who run CTFs online, sometimes I think we should be working with them more
• Louis: Kevin Lin email
  • Louis: Somebody asked if we know anything about covid related meeting topics. I personally don't
  • Helen: Did anyone email him back?
  • Louis: No
  • Helen: Can you email back and say "no." And also offer to advertise any he knows about maybe
  • Helen: There's the one Charlie posted
  • Kelton: I saw one (ELSEWHERE) also
  • Cole: MIT is doing something
  • Louis: If we wants those links he can find them himself
• Louis: Website updates
  • Louis: I just did this. Put the big read banner and removed all the events.
  • Helen: Once I get a date for paper pals and book pals I'll put that on there
  • Helen: We should also do a movie night on discord (not me, computer bad)
  • Helen: If anyone knows computer movies get at me
• Louis: Regular call or something
  • Helen: Does this time work for everyone?
  • Kelton: I'm in 2041 right now
  • Helen: Should we move it?
  • Kelton: Why would we do that
  • NEW MEETING TIME is Tuesdays at 4:30
• Louis: Officer election, transition, continuity
  • Helen: Did you have specific thoughts?
  • Louis: Yeah. Well, no
  • Louis: We should send out a newsletter and announcement asking for candidates, then set up a ballot
  • Louis: we can probably count on doing the officer transition dinner over the summer and just not getting money for if -- if everything is back to normal
• Helen: Discord movie nite
  • Cole: I can host this week, we can watch Sonic
  • Helen: Do you have Birds of Prey?
  • Cole: Yes!
  • Helen: Great! We can watch that next week
  • Helen: I think 6 or 7 would be a good start time?
  • Cole: Yeah that would be good!
  • Cole: Should we use zoom?
  • Charlie: As UMN students we get premium, so we aren't limited to an hour.
  • Helen: we should abuse the go live feature in discord
  • Cole: (Streams the sonic movie on discord)
  • Charlie: this has terrible bitrate
  • Charlie: I could stream a movie using OBS and everyone could connect with VLC
  • Helen: Just make quick guide for people [who don't know how to use it]
  • Charlie: Wait, it doesn't work that way, but I'll figure it out
• Mike: Fridge
  • Mike: I just wanted to talk about the mold danger but Amethyst threw away all the perishable stuff so it's fine now
• Helen: DSCC email
  • Helen: I just skimmed it, but it seems like it was something about online classes
  • Mike: The DSCC wanted our help with a petition about getting online classes supported all the time, not just during the virus
  • Helen: It's not super clear what they want our help with
  • Louis: The end says something about listing ourselves as officially supporting it
  • Helen: Do we want to? I think it sounds like a good idea
  • Louis: I like the idea also, but I wish there was a clear manifesto or list of demands before we put our name behind it
  • Helen: I can respond and ask for that
• Charlie: _gnerl
  • Charlie: Am I allowed to delete any messages that aren't _gnerl?
  • Louis: Yes, if any show up. People have been very well behaved so far
• Louis: Slack archives
  • Louis: Have we considered getting the messages out of the old Slack? It might be worth the $10 for a one-month premium membership
  • Helen: That would have to be a budget request
  • Nathan: Is there a free trial of premium?
  • Louis: We could try just emailing them and asking for an archive
  • Helen: If you could write that email that would be swell
• Louis: Server maintenance (if necessary)
  • Louis: Who can get to the closet if necessary?
  • Charlie, Cole, Nathan
  • Louis: I can't, I live in a commune now
  • Louis: Also I'm going to turn off the table LAN to avoid the policy problem, since nobody's in there
  • Cole: Do we wanna leave one jack active? Wait nevermind
  • Nathan will be maintenance goblin, Cole is backup maintenance goblin

Things to say

• Talk to your (cool) CSCI professors about Donuts
• If you continually do not do your tasks, please ask someone to do them. It is better to have someone a little bit grumpy at you than for them not to get done.
