Minutes 5/24/00


Rerooming

We need to deliver an ultimatum to Thistle since too many groups rely
on their moving. Jocelyn will deal by mailing them, and if they are
flaky again Rune and Voodoo will probably be happy to move their
computers for them (Rune and Voodoo have manpower)


FYSM

About 90 groups have submitted. Susan will be weighing the batch tomorrow.
Once that's done, the packages will go to Norma or Katie for their approval.
MITDMC can't do the sticker on the outside (boo hoo hoo). We can probably
still fit all the groups in Sala.


Groups who want recognition before the FYSM

Most actually submitted a constitution, but we will not do any of them
tonight. So they miss the FYSM...oh well.


Locks

People who don't want combo locks (we need to talk to them):
IFC is paranoid.
Debate is being stupid.
MITSFS is paranoid.
APO + ESP, perhaps.

PIN numbers have 3 + 4 or 5 digits. 3 digit 'group ID' for each ASA
group in an office, which we can wipe at one go if a group moves
out. In case security is compromised over the weeked, CPs should have
the ability to lock down any room. We need to make sure clubs can
change the combos without a magic gizmo (sub-master level), according
to the manual it looks like it's okay.

Most importantly, we must stress that groups are not married to their
rooms.


SAD

Options for laying out the SAD: Indesign ($350 from publishing budget)
				Pagemaker (Free but limited future)
				Framemaker (Free but a pain)

We'll go for Indesign if we can use the Finboard's G4. We will start
working on it from this weekend.


Events Calendar vs the Reaper

Alvar would like to start talking to IS about possibly adapting the
system for the Reaper. Hopefully their stuff is a commercial
product. Most importantly, we need to understand how the
username/authentication system works. Philip and Susan are interested
in helping later.


Midway

If the number of groups remains under 250, we will remain on one floor.


Next meeting will be 2 weeks from now.
