• What are we actually doing?
  • Louis: We should talk about why people would actually want to be in this club
  • Charlie: At one point we worked out a list of what events we're still planning on doing
  • Louis: I just mean we should start scheduling events and updating the website
  • Charlie: I'm still working on the resume event with target and sdc with cat
  • Charlie: Other than that we can just decide on days for the events
  • Abridged notes from prev meeting:
    • SDC: Can be done online
    • Donuts with the department: Cancel
    • UNIX classes: Can be done on twitch
    • CTF: yes
    • LAN party: probably not, the gamers can do one
    • Resume and interview prep: doing with target
    • Study for finals with ACM: Probably Not
    • Paper pals: Do over discord
    • MinneHack: some modified version
• GopherLink transition
  • Charlie: They're redoing gopherlink and they need us to download stuff before 9/30
  • Mike: Is there one button we can click to download everything?
  • Charlie: No, you have to download every thing one by one
  • Charlie: I nominate the webmaster
  • Andrew: Alright :(
• SSF disaster
  • Kelton: There are no purchases in the ledger after halloween last year, we're working on tracking down purchase requests
  • Kelton: There's been a whole chain of stuff we can't fill out because of that
  • Kelton: We met with Sara earlier, and it sounds like it's not the worst thing to ever happen, as long as we eventually turn in the spending report
• Organizing a CTF, timing
  • Kelton: We need to figure out how to run a CTF all online, and start writing questions
  • Hemant: Michael says he's interested in helping out
  • Andrew: It should be pretty easy to run a ctf online, just use ctfd
  • Louis: ctfd sucks
  • Kelton: What did we do last time?
  • Hemant: ctfd, which i would prefer not to do again
  • Louis: It should be fine if we all write a few questions
  • Hemant: I can do a few, I just don't want to like 10
  • Hemant: ctf can just be a txt file on nginx with an upload button
  • Hemant: Now that we have argo set up, we can have problems on VMs
  • Hemant: We can have a competition to see who can be the first one to hack a vm
  • Louis: I like that more than a jeopardy style ctf
  • Kelton: We should do that next semester, since we're already committed to doing jeopardy style this semester
  • Hemant: ok
• Announce membership fee cancellation
  • Mike: I will do this now that we've talked about it
• Advertise SDC to classes
  • Charlie: We need to do this
  • Mike: How does this work with online classes
  • Charlie: We arrange to drop in on classes
  • Louis: We could prerecord something and have the prof play it
  • Kelton: That sounds like way less work
  • Charlie: Ok yeah, someone could record a video with info on what CTF is and when it'll be, etc
  • Kelton: Who wants to do that?
  • Everyone: Oh, not me
  • Charlie: I am drafting Cole
  • Cole: Why don't we do a write up and put in on canvas?
  • Andrew: Nobody's gonna read that
  • Cole: :(
  • Cole: When does that need to be done by?
  • Charlie: Unclear, we don't know when SDC is yet
• Schedule SDC events
  • SDC (w/ CAT Digital): Date TBD
    • Charlie: We should look at this today and then send some options to CAT
    • Charlie: I don't think we're planning on doing it in September
    • Charlie: I told the CAT guy "early mid semester" and then I told him October or early November
    • Charlie: How about Friday at 5?
    • Mike: That works, but will people be less likely to come on a Friday?
    • Charlie: I think that's less of a problem with our target demographic
    • Louis: I think we should have buffer time before and after the event for people to hang out and talk
    • Charlie: Weekly starting on Friday, 10/18 (1 month from this friday)
  • Resume and interview prep event (w/ Target): September 25th
    • Charlie: This one should be announced during the freshmen student group event since it will be 0-1 days later.
    • Andrew: The student group event is also thinking about being on the 25th, sometime before 5:00
    • Charles: so we should do some time after 5:00 on the 25th
  • CTF:
    • Charlie: how about 2 weeks after SDC?
    • Everyone: sure

  • Hemant: Cerberus will also probably be redone at some point, but not now
• Indefinite membership for officers
  • Hemant: Cole, Kelton, and I were thinking that officers should get 100 years of free membership to make up for not getting stipends
