Present: Nikki, Shane, Mark C, Mark D, Eoin, Gráinne, Dermot, Declan, Cillian, David.

Absent: None

0.1 Intersocs Event

- Acknowledged a major reliance on TCD netsoc for promotion and advertisement of the event. - It was noted that Carla lost us the possibility of having the Frames and/or Snow Patrol because of her inaction and her refusal to budge from having the event in Da2 again. Helena@netsoc.tcd.ie helped us loads

0.2 Christmas Event

- Discussed possibly working with other clubs and socs for this event. - Should it have a Christmas theme? - Nikki said she'll talk to filmsoc about it. - Discussed venue, it seemed that the general consensus was to go for Break For The Border at this time. - Owing to us not having an Ents officer, everyone should pitch in for this event. - Eoin said he'd go up to the C&S area and call around tomorrow look for places like the Red Box/POD/Mono to do an all-in deal.

0.3 EGM

- have to book the room! Nikki will do this (QG13??) - book somewhere for the afters? Ask in the Slipper. - Eoin suggested acetates or the use of the projector with a laptop - get amendments together and have it printed out. - Take minutes at this meeting!!! :)

0.4 Helpdesk Exam

- to be set up before EGM. - Helpdesk lads will write it up a few days beforehand. - the date was decided to be Monday 2nd at 6.30

0.5 Carla's possession of system logs

- Colm got the logs for her - At this point, we weren't sure of their content but we know they were auth logs, /var/log/messages, basically logs pertaining to su.

       - it was agreed that Colm was to be talked to about his actions. 

0.6 Intersocs

- It was decided that one member of the committee (usually Ents or PRO) be nominated as Intersocs Officer. For the moment, this person is Shane. - A mailing list should be set up. - An Intersocs meeting which it was hoped would be set up before the Intersocs event couldn't happen because of the mess made with the event's organisation. - Boards: should we phase out the old redbrick.* boards and replace them with intersocs.* ? Decided to ask the users on the boards.

0.7 Any Other Business

- question was asked: What if nobody runs for the Ents position? Mark maintained that the EGM be declared void although there is no precedence for such a situation occurring.

- with the lack of an Ents officer, the Ents section of the grant form needs to be filled out.

- Gráinne had statements of the accounts at the meeting for anyone's perusal.

- Eoin talked to a guy from ReturnBatt about getting the batteries taken away. Apparently they provide a certificate of disposal which would cover us in case someone took us up on having illegally dumped them.

- Clubs and Socs want the monolith and the rubbish gone ASAP. We should toss all non-volatile (i.e. non-battery) rubbish.

- SSL certs - we need to get them signed for.

- The amendments are up to date, and David updated the SO folder.

- What to talk about with Ian Russell when we meet with him? Long-term proposal for Redbrick.

- We need to make committee life attractive, especially non-technical positions like Ents and PRO. Need to get more first years involved.
