      No review - last meeting was 2003-04-28.
   2. Agenda for this meeting

             1. Remaining accounts to be converted back.
        2. The Room

             2. Missing the 16A C form socket for UPS, to be done by
                Friday. Will cost EUR150 to put it on right side of room
                next to racks.
             3. CSD are to provide a 1900 Cisco switch to replace hub in
                K110 (patch room) so that 100Mb uplink can be provided,

             5. The "big move" (switch of DNS login.rb) take place 3
                days after.
             6. As a precaution, someone talk to security and make sure
                no one can be let into the room. All elected root
                holders have a key (currently half the cmte).
             7. An official launch of the room to be done sometime at
                start of college year.
        3. Clubs & Socs day
             1. Proposed to scrap the application forms. Emphasised the
                importance of a working system so there is no backlog
                and also the delay involved in the choosing of
                usernames, two things the application forms can help
                with.
             2. Agreed to do booklet again.
             3. Need people at all times in front of tables to handle
                crowd / "sell" RB.
             4. Orientation week talks, be good to be mentioned here.
                CA165 talk a must.
             5. Possible image change (e.g. new t-shirts) discussed,
                nothing definite.
        4. Upcoming Events
             1. Quiz a definite for 2nd semester - similar format to
                last year.
             2. Fresher's event: out of a number of venues SoSuMe looked
                the best, but it's not available Mon/Tue, traditionally
                the days of choice for the event (preferably Monday 13th
                October this year).
             3. Possible Halloween event?
             4. Idea for an 80's / childhood memories "themed" event
                mentioned.
             5. Joint event with Filmsoc for the release of Matrix film
                (November).
