Present: David I, David II, Sam, Amelie, Toby, Ed
Late: Esports Sam, Rob
Absent: Everyone else. Obviously.
BFL
- David I has put some promotional content for BFL together, which can be sent out tonight.
- RoG bus should be around Week 9, not as part of BFL as planned previously.
- This could maybe make a reappearance next term (the Open Day team have expressed interest), but this is TBA.
- We're fundraising for Special Effect, David I has been put in contact with them.
- Need to augment the raffle with some other prizes.
WASD
- Esports Alex has posted the material we need to create for Twitch front page.
- Describe what WASD is, etc.
- We'd like to do a test run, but the room isn't available. We may have to test the setup during Gaming, which we'd like Jai to be there for.
- Will give rewards to the runners, but we have more runners than Discord shirts...
- Should talk to RAW TV about obtaining cameras for the event.
warwick.gg
- Getting there. David I is trying to refactor it so that we can send out digital advertising this evening, so people can see a splash screen for the event.
- Signups should be open Week 7 (Friday 8th June). Will close 2 weeks later to give us a window for ordering supplies.
- Seating plan is going well.windows is just the retail windows without the installation support included.
- David I is not keen on everyone being able to move others on the seating plan.
- We'd like to have this as a permission that can be retracted.
- Will host tournament signups as well. People should be able to sign up to these without necessarily signing up to LAN.
Tournaments
- Prizes need to be sorted.
- Hearthstone can be 3D-printed.
- May ask Rhiba to design Random Game trophy.
- Overwatch and League to be sorted.
Sponsors
- RoG and noblechairs providing prizes and laptops for the week.
- Playground Games *may* get in touch (Murtag has reached out to them).
Socials
- CompSoc does Crash, it's week 9 and it's happening. The event is up on Facebook.
- End of term meal is tentatively week 9 Friday. But Warwick Fringe is also then, so we're holding off on organising that for now.
Data Breach and Privacy Policy
- By now, everyone is aware of the awful blunder made last week w.r.t the data breach.
- David I and Sam met with some higher-ups at the SU this morning.
- They emphasised that we did fairly well in the aftermath, and did all the right things RE notification of members.
- They notified us that they (the SU) are our data controller, and our first point of contact in the future.
- They did however have some pointers for us in terms of our tech as a whole (brought up in the ensuing discussion):
- We need to encrypt all databases containing PII.
- We need privacy policies on uwcs.co.uk and warwick.gg (and send these to Dave for review).
- We need some way to make off-site backups. Currently all backups are on-site.
- We're allowing a small window for responses to that email.
- We need to change the emails we store to the form <usercode>@live.warwick.ac.uk, because ITS reassigns emails with initials and surnames for some reason.
AOB
- Gaming this week - David II is not here.
- We're not running the Vive for a few weeks, due to DCS request.
- Pub is not running week 10.
Todo
Sam - Forward terse emails to Dave
Rob - Write privacy policy
David I - Send privacy policy to Dave
Sam - Contact RAW TV
