SAO Grant
Jason is grinding, incommunicado for the weekend.
USG Grants
Haven't responded about Discord or Website as our social media.
Newsletter could be piped into blusky. We'd wanna set up a PDS, maybe host it as a service?
Regular posts already happening, just copy-paste for now.
June will do it right now...
...but is stopped since acm.umn.edu's records can't be changed without approval.
SSF Grants
Jason also grinding.
Sponsorship E-mails
Drive has past templates somewhere. Sandal will write a template for this year. Jason is suffering, so he'll be uninvolved.
Self-Hosting Workshop 2
Angel and June are meeting up to work on it.
Typst Workshop
Linguists and math people should be adveritised to for sure.
Minnehack Venue
No follow-up from Coffman people. Sandal will complain.
Prep for Minnehack Sponsorship E-Mails
- Update Minnehack Website s/2025/2026/g
- Update color (Alison job)
sourcehut Self-host
Apparently easy with NixOS
We won't touch it until we are less busy.
New Minnehack Requirements
- Making code public after the event
- Source available
Ringo brings up that most of it is API garbage, not clean code.
Jason agrees, still thinks it's cool.
Cooler if we have a demo of their entry presented and we archive that compared to the source code.
Ben Eater Kit & FPGA
Wait until we get more funding from sponsors.
FPGA might be a cool prize for minnehack too.
LAN Party Prep
Nadia is planning it out. Joined the discord server.
Swear Jar
Add jar for a-word.
Regularly Clean Room
DavĂd has volunteered to clean.
