SIPB (pronounced ``Sip-bee'') is the Student Information Processing Board, the volunteer student group concerned with computing at MIT. We are available for telephone (617-253-7788), email (sipb@mit.edu) or in-person (W20-557) consulting at almost any time of day or night. Additionally, we have one-of-a-kind meetings Monday eventings at 7:30pm, write documentation of all sorts, run a wide variety of servers (including the popular Scripts server), hack, and generally have a good time. We also act as an advocate for student computer users and student computer access on campus.
