Redbrick Committee Meeting: 11 October 2004
_________________________________________________________________________
Present: Michelle, Donal, Charlene, Charlie, Eoghan, Mark, Mickey, Tina,
John, Una, Dave.

Guests: Riona Judge McCormack

_____________________
:: Matters Arising \___________________________________________________

There were no matters arising from the minutes of the last meeting.
_____________________
:: Freshers' Ball \____________________________________________________

Arrangements are largely complete for the event. However:
- A quote for the PA system is pending from Derek Williams through Mark.
- Committee members are required to help take people from the spike to the
venue. Ceratin committee members, including Eoghan, Charlie, Mark and Tina
will not be doing this, but going direct to the venue.
- Provision of IPAQ based and paper lists from the admins will allow us to
take membership money from any associates who show up and allow us to check
the legitimacy of members who arrive with no ticket.
_____________________
:: User Additions \____________________________________________________

User additions are proceeding smoothly, according to Charlie. However, he
notes two cases where a student number logged is unable to be matched to
valid DCU details.
_______________________
:: Committee Training \__________________________________________________

Michelle, John, Donal, Tina, Eoghan, Charlie, Charlene and Una are all
likely to attend the training session on Saturday at 0930.

:: Troublegum.rb \___________________________________________________

"Never buy a compaq" - Charlie
A decision has still not been made on the usefulness or binability (yes, I
made up that word) of this server. Charlie will let us know in due course.
________________________
:: Intervarsity Event \___________________________________________________

Everyone is very positive about the nature of the event and specifics like
the companies we will approach for sponsorship will be decided later. Donal
proposed that the event be set in stages over the day as a time trial, which
was accepted. Donal is great and most of the rest of the committee smell
faintly of wee. No, not really, just checking to see who's reading the minutes.
_________________________
:: Server Room Cleanup \________________________________________________

Charlie would like to throw out much of the excess hardware and useless
items in the server room. He will need to contact DCU about dumping monitors.
_______________________
:: Grant Application \__________________________________________________

The committee discussed the grant application, based on the provisional
write-up from Charlene. Riona was present for this part of the meeting. Mark
had left.

= Tutorials
These will be held weekly. The first will have a larger expected turnout and
refreshments will be served at it and all tutorials. The helpdesk will
compile a projected list of all the semester's tutorials for a poster.

= The Christmas Ball
This intersocs event will be the first major RedBrick event on the grant app.
It will be held in conjunction with Snowboarders, Music and LGBT. Two members
of the committee earlier expressed concerns that the inclusion of LGBT would
cause a drop in numbers because of the apparently rampant homophobia prevalent
among some of the membership. The rest of the committee dismissed this concern
and are happy to include LGBT at the moment. Riona mentioned that one society
should coordinate the finances for the event; this will be RedBrick. Music Soc
will supply the band "Egomaniacs" for under 500 euro, as well as helping us
source other music. The event will be held in DCU New Bar.

= Tech Week
Riona confirmed that a major publicity campaign of posters could be paid for
by the SPC to help promote this week. Events on the grant app need to be
separated into individual parts of the week. Events so far include the
Intervarsity wireless hunt, a series of talks, an opening ceremony and digital
art displays.

= The Alt Rag Ball
This was discussed at great length due to the unfortunate absence of Mark. The
committee were unanimously unhappy about this event taking the form of a
bootleg concert, rather than the traditional alternative music option. Because
Mark was unable to discuss his reasoning for staging this type of event, the
committee did not make any concrete decision on the issue, but rather decided
to apply for an alternative music option so that SPC funding allocation would
be sufficient to allow them to take that option or revert back to Mark's
bootleg concert plan later.

= The Bootleg Concert
The committee were unhappy about this event, especially after Music Soc's PRO
mentioning their dissatisfaction with our running one. Mark was again
unavailable to comment on his proposal, so no firm decision was made, though
in the absence of enough quotes to add it to the grant app and the general
feeling that it may not go ahead, it was not added to the Grant App. If this
is resolved later and the committee majority wants the event, we will submit
an additional application for it.

Riona approved the list of hardware requirements being applied for but
expressed her concern at the possibility of there being no insurance for the
server room contents. Michelle to check into this.
___________
:: AOB \__________________________________________________________

The Hallowe'en venues have been suggested by Mark as "Howl at the Moon",
"Dance Macabre" and two venues rejected for not being thematic enough. Donal
suggests "The Vatican".

The RedBrick Library is in need of book donations and Tina would like to post
to redbrick.discuss and request them.

Similarly, the RedBrick Encyclopedia needs new entries and we hope to encourage
submissions.
