Camp

Notes from MVP:

  • Next camp meeting is 2020-07-29
  • Are reevaluating the camp to see if we can have some LAN space
  • Traditional LAN might not be possible
  • Suggestion to set up a table or two for a smaller number of people (possibly between 6-10)
  • Suggestion to bring one or two UCC Desktops to relieve pressure on attendees
  • Need to figure out what questions to ask Ern Halliday about UCC's requirements for camp (like Powerpoints and Internet Access)
  • Would like committee to have a list of things to run at camp in like with how Oneshots are organised
  • Have a list of things we are looking to run (eg. Artemis or Warcraft 3 custom games, etc)

PQZ:

  • VR set up at camp?
  • [MPT]: probably not VR with COVID risk
  • [PQZ] remembers COVID is a thing
  • Can reevaluate later in the year
  • Would be a bit hard if second wave or Phase 4
  • Face sharing items bad

MPT:

  • We have our own powerpoints, switches, desktops to bring
  • UCC can supply as much or as little equipment as needed
  • Could bring our 4G thing down or use their connection
  • UCC is used to having bad connectivity during camps...
  • LANing is for LAN games
  • Having things that can run on a laptop: is good
  • Suggestion is Minecraft as it's fun
  • Encourages committee to make a list of possible LAN games for next meeting
