Minutes of Committee Meeting 17-04-2000

Present:
=======================================================
cokane, helpdesk pixies, admin
kpodesta, webmaster elmer, helpdesk
moridin, secretary phil, admin
spock, chariperson p, incoming PRO
julie, PRO prince_v, incoming helpdesk
orly, Ents Officer redgiant, helpdesk

Matters Discussed
=======================================================

1) Posting

Basically, BE GOOD people. No infighting on the boards, no
dissing redbrick or any events. Don't take it on yourself to
give the "redbrick view" when you're not sure... that's a
matter for the chairperson/secretary.

2) BICS Awards

Redbrick have been nominated for the BICS Award by DCU. This
is a competition to find out hte best society in Ireland. We'll
be sending 2 representitives down to the awards, in the form of
Julie & Phil, who will give a presentation on redbrick over the
course of the event; which takes place this wed/thursday (19-20
April)

3) Student Handbook

As you know, we have to submit a piece on redbrick for the student
handbook to the SU for next year. Jon has written a piece about
our infamous "Turbo charged servers" which we decided to use :)

4) Admin Stuff

Phil & Mark went to James Healy last week about getting ports for
CVS, NNTP, Mail and DNS opened. They succeeded in the first two
and will talk about DNS & mail ports again at a later date.

The fibre-optic switch needs to be bought soon, so the admins are
going to get some prices and at the same time buy another backup
tape. It was decided that /home/committe should be backed up
before /mone/member. Backups are done every sunday night.

We also need to buy the new Rack, which should cost about Â£1000
or so. Storage space for it is also needed and we'll contact
buildings about that.

Currently the admins are keeping /tmp free by deleting day old files
in there, considering it is a Temporary storage folder. They'll
make sure that what they delete isn't anything that someone may need
:)

Members think that renaming to .mp4 is a nice way to hide their mp3
collection ;)

5) Money Matters

Grant forms need to be submitted soon and otto has resigned as
treasurer, although he will be doing the final accounts. Jon will
take over as treasurer now. Kpodesta & moridin will be added to the
list of cheque signatories and bootie & otto will be removed.

6) Ents

The trip to Galway was planned to take place 2 weeks from now, however
this is a long weekend and we mightn't get people to go. It would also
have been difficult to get bookings in a hostel or wherever for 40 odd
people (excuse the pun) at this stage. It was decided to re-schedule it
for the weekend that the exams finish on, which is a month from now. We
should get grants for 50 people so depending on interest/prices 25-30
is a likely target. Official reason for going to Galway? An invitation
from those nice people in NUI Galway :)

As far as the HEAnet talk goes, they've been to TIT & UL so far. We're
going to see if we can get them out here for next Tuesday, 25th April
at 7pm. Orly will try and book a room in the X building for it, which
should be no problem, and get the HEAnet guys out. Julie will try & get
drinkies for after :)

The Web Design Competition has about 4 entries at the moment so it was
decided to extend the closing date to wednesday 26th April. Karl will
contact O Reilly or Waterstones/Hodges Figgis to see if we can get
sponsorship for the prizes.

The Programming Competition will be postponed until next semester as
it's not feasable to do it at this stage in the year.

7) Web Issues

We're now hosting quite a few webpages/domains such as www.funliam.com
and www.perv.org. Redbrick.net & redbrick.org both point at the
www.redbrick.dcu.ie site. We will be hosting the DCUSU site when we
get our place in the new Student Centre and it was suggested that the
webmaster might help them to keep the page maintained and tweaks ironed
out of it.

8) Other Business

A) Clubs & Socs Ball
Jon & Phil have tickets for the Clubs & Socs ball as they got nominations.
There are 2 other tickets up for grabs and Orly & Karl want to go.
Prince_v might be able to get another ticket and Karl/Kevin may be able to
get 2 tickets courtesy of the comedy soc :)

B) Committee Night Out
We may be going on a committee night out similar to the night last year.
This will have to be looked into as regards how much money we'll have at
the end of the semester :)
