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

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.

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!!! :)

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

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.

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.

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.
