Minutes 2016-11-10 (Term 1 Week 6)
Posted on 17th November 2016
Present: rhiba, tanski, dixon, kirby, Sam, Veltas, jai (late!), Zoggoth (late!)
* Alex is going to find out how to use the SU to invoice sponsorship companies. Preferably by next meeting.
* Jai not here for gaming. Possibly no Vive as it needs his computer.
* Next email should have LAN signups. Currently there aren't any. rhiba: Add signups.
* Seating plan will be Excel this time, but a new one will be made one day.
* Alex offers to write a frontend if an API is provided.
* Hot topic of debate - do we hardcode the seating plan or not? What if we don't use LIB2? But when does that ever happen?
* We've told Dota that we are deprecating dcs-get over Christmas. "Just turn it off". rhiba is looking into a solution with Joe, Veltas could assist also.
* Super hot fire topic: Do we get rid of dcs-get for everyone except gaming? Or
keep it open for free use with a logout script?
* Symlink from home directory to /var/tmp as a potential solution?
* stow is a good and easy solution, but dependency management.
* Probably other stuff, I (kirby) don't actually know enough about dcs-get
to write about these suggestions well enough. Ask rhiba / david.
* Roger is fine with David's solution.
* Cisco is a bit on the quiet side. Daphne (the ambassador) is in constant contact.
* David's idea - after Christmas, we try flyering again. We have run out flyers and posters.
* Big screen: They got back a week and a half later (last Thursday). Keep asking for two weeks in advance. As LAN starts at 8pm, that week is fine also. Start it at 5pm.
* rhiba: Send angry email about LAN room.
