Minutes of Meeting, 02th September 2002.

Present:
Andrew, Nikki, Carla, David, Eoin, Shane, Mark C, Declan, Cillian
Absent (with reasons):
Mark D, Dermot.

0.1 Socs Ball Latest
- Nikki was scheduled to meet with CnA, though the RedBrick cmte
meeting prevented that fomr taking place.
She will be in contact with him at some stage in the near future.
- Ciaran would like it if 2 representatives from RB to work on
the Socs ball committee.

0.2 Clubs and Socs Day Status.

- The use of BarCode scanners was discussed. The purchase of
two/three units possibly proves more possible than their rental.
(information was given by Cillian)
- A megnetic strip reader was decided to be better suited to the
task on C&S day.
- Cillian mentioned that there was a possibility that Fergus may
be able to provide strip readers, more liasing will be needed to
confirm this.
- The Software will be ready, with a simple web-interface written for
the machines used on the C&S day.

- According to Eoin, the booklet is nearly completed, with small
paragraphs about each member of the cmte needed to be written.

- We have a laminator in the locker no idea if it works.
- Application Forms need printing. Last year's forms are in the
society locker, along with last year's posters.

- 3 laptops will be available for the day itself; Carlas, Eoins,
and the RedBrick one. The redbrick one will need more memory, but
Declan can loan some.

- The use of stickers was suggested by Shane, wondering whether
they would be useful to separate those that have joined from those
that haven't.

0.3 WebBrick.

- Declan had found a PHP-based solution, though there are
currently some authentication problems at the moment.
- Colm(colmmacc) is currently researching those problems for
the WebBoards.
- Censorship issues were raised, particularly those pertaining
to avatars, swear words, "questionable" links/URLs, etc. This is
an issue that needs resolving when the boards are started up.
- The issue of a "split" between the shell and web-based boards
systems was dicussed. The alienation of the shell based boards
was mentioned, with some solutions to this issue suggested.

- Within 2 days, apparently, Colm can have it installed on Enigma.
It is do-able, but needs time.

- While David is in America, the web-site, and it's re-design will
be in the hands of the webgroup. The new design is progressing
comfortably.

0.4 Raid Array Status.

- There are only 5 disks at the moment, with the remaining one
sitting in Enigma.
- There were problems installing the Raid Array on Enigma, with
the server refusing to recognise it.
(UPDATE) works in Enigma and is currently attached waiting to be worked
upon..
- Long and Short of it is that it works, just not on Enigma at
the minute.
- It works fine on CTYI's machine.

0.5 UPS disposal.

- We need a new UPS, and Cillian suggested contacting those in APC,
to discuss the possibility of sponsorship for a new one.
- The disposal of the broken one was talked of, with no concrete
resolution reached.

0.6 The Room.
The allocations there, it just hasto be claimed.
Now that there is no UPS, it may drop the cost of the room
Cillian showed the floor plan of the room to everyone.
We are still out by about 2000 Euro.

0.7 Intersocs News.
The intersocs boards are ready, we only await CSD to open the ports.

Carla mentioned that for the intersocs event, Mundy possibly may be
playing at it. November 12th was mooted, though it was suggested that
it may clash with the Socs Ball in DCU.

0.8 Financial Situation.
We have approx. 5000 in the room, of which BOI sponsorship is worth
1500. 1000 is for the Room
