2025-10-29 ACM Officers' Meeting

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

sourcehut Self-host

Apparently easy with NixOS

We won't touch it until we are less busy.

New Minnehack Requirements

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.
