Helpdesk exam
Due to take place tomorrow afternoon, the 3rd of December.
Prodigy Downtime
- Cillian was installing patches, then he rebooted from home and the kernel panicked. The admins worked on it all of Monday, Cillian said it was a tedious process and hasn't been completed yet. It'll be operational tomorrow.
Clubs & Socs passed to CSD
- clubsandsocs.dcu.ie possible!
- email, drivespace and official sigs for the accounts.
- It seems to have happened under our noses.
- Cma wants us to forward clubs and socs email to CSD. Not bloody likely.
- CSD may not stick with this for long.
- n.b. - someone needs to talk to Fergus and Cma about all this.
- Cillian replied to Cma about integrated services for clubs and socs but he never got back to us.
- Do CSD want this? Why are they doing this?
- we won't be forwarding stuff for C&S.
- Gráinne will talk to Imelda about it all.
- Question why Cma seems to be going over our heads.
Any Other Business
- Gráinne mentioned the password system being screwed in the Hub.
- Will Nikki take over events if nobody gets elected?
- We're NOT declaring the EGM void if nobody runs for ENTS.
- SSL Certs - should we ask Fergus to sign stuff? Haven't heard back from EZtrust.
- Pre-EGM meeting on Wednesday, 12:30pm in the C&S area.
- Goodbye and thanks to Mark Campbell.
- Cillian suggested we could move the junk from the C&S area (assorted hard drives, dead motherboards, etc) into the room (c105) until we find a suitable skip/other home for them.
- we might have the money to get rid of the batteries from the EU500 originally budgetted for wiring the room up for a UPS (which is now not going to happen)
- Room access would be needed from Richie Kelly
- Even if we're relegated to CSD, we have 1m^2 and space for maintenance in their server room.
- we could squeeze everything into one rack.
- should we look towards not getting the room in the immediate future?
- in the meantime we can use the room for storage.
- noted that RBradio is back online.
