[ Minutes taken by John ]

Guest Accounts

  • Donal and John met with James Healy yesterday, he said Fergus was the man

to talk to about okaying guest accounts. Fergus told Donal that CSD will rely on the judgement of the current committee for the allocation of guest accounts.

  • Protocol decided for granting of Guest Accounts :

Someone may apply to get a guest account if they have 2 committee members to vouch for them and a valid reason for getting said account. Before the account is created it will have to be passed by the committee at a meeting.

  • This will be written up by Donal and taken as a Standing Order.
  • There will be an amnesty for any existing Guest accounts, i.e. they

will not be forced off the system. Non*DCU people who were given accounts by previous committee's can stay.

  • People who have held a netsoc guest account in the past will

be eligible for a guest account of their own when their period on their netsoc committee is over.

New Hardware

  • We are ordering a new motherboard and chip for enigma. Instead of

a motherboard to return to a dual porocessor setup, we will buy an AMD Athlon XP 1600 (1.40 GHz) Palomino Core chip with an Epox 8KTA3 KT133A Chipset Socket*A motherboards * Cheaper and Faster.

  • Neil will order this on his credit card.
  • The PSU for the array will be ordered at the same time.

Server Room Stuff

  • Meeting with Richie Kelly tomorrow at 4, and Martin Conroy next week

to discuss room.

  • Contract discussion needed with Martin Conroy.
  • Building to go ahead ASAP.
  • CSD looking into cheaper alternative to quote given for fibre installation

following meeting with James Healy yesterday.

  • SU's lawyers will look over any contract we draw up with DCU for us.
  • We have asked the SU for money * 1000*2000 euro * they have to bring it

to Council next Monday, we will know then.


Colm

  • Lots of pointless arguing.
  • Colm refuses to accept that when he speaks he reflects upon the committee
  • Colm affirms that he will not change his manner of behaviour on the boards,

or in dealing with the membership, and continue to insult, condescend and flame. He is proud of this.


Redbrick Radio

  • Enigma to be backed up and inactive accounts removed to make room for this.
  • John will approach the School of Communications about getting a few hous a
 week in their studios for making programmes.


Ents

  • We have money from SPC for a trip away. Will we go anywhere?
  • Donal is in contact with people in Microsoft, it was suggested that he ask
 them for money for a machine or some X*Boxes which we could use as prizes
 for a table quiz.
  • Intersocs Event for MArch isn't going ahead, as TCD cant do it.
  • Intersocs Talks for April 6th in TCD are going ahead.
  • We still ahven't gotten receipts off filmsoc for the christmas event
 and as a conseqeuence havent been able to get money off the SPC
  • We don't have receipts off MONO or Damien Rice for the Alt Rag Ball,
 and so cant get money off the SPC. Presumably, Michael can look into 
 getting these ASAP. 
  • Tradition dictates we have an event of some description on the night as the AGM,
 pencilled in for some time at the end of April.
