3. Discussed Committee activity over the last few weeks.

- Who has been doing what?
- Has everyone done their fair share?
- Are there any members of the committee who are passive?
- The issue also arose of the fact that we have to fill in
the class of those on the committee, when in fact, James
is no longer a student. Will this be a problem?

4. Problems arising when new machine comes in

- passwords: people will have to use the password they
were given when they joined/renewed.
As in, we may have to give out passwords again.

5. BBS/Chat/News Issues

- It's obvious that there's not a unanimous liking for the
new system. A lot of members have posted their views
on the news boards, expressing their dislike for it.
Their arguments are that it's much more complicated than
the simplicity of the BBS, and doesn't seem to offer as
many options as the original system. Redbrick House is
much more complicated than the last one, with the need
to learn off lots of commands etc.
The system was argued for by Mike, Dermot, and Kachun
in the main. It was argued that the new system offered
a lot more than the original one. People could use
whatever interface they wanted etc.

4. Tutorials for new users

- Education Officers should try and book some computer
rooms, and rooms with A/V equipment. Slides should
be made up, and users should be guided through the
entire process of using the system for the first time.
It was agreed that this really needs to be done.

5. Chat system priveleges.

- The administration of the new chat system (run by Cian
Synnott), was discussed.
- Questions asked included
- Who should have what priveleges?
- Why should they have them?
- Although there lots of proposals, no agreements were
reached on the issue.
- Basic outline of proposals at the meeting were

- Cian Synnott, and all DCUNS Admins should be of
Level PROF.
- Other committee members should be of level DOC and
TECH.

6. Sponsorship

- John Barker is in negotiations with his boss to secure
cash sponsorship of 1000-1500 pounds. Please note that
this is in the very preliminary stages, and nothing is
definite.
In return for the cash, it is believed that Books
Unlimited, would want a web site of some sort, to be
provided, and designed by DCUNS.

- Complications come in the form of PostGem policy.

7. Meeting Concluded.
