Subject: UCC Committee Meeting Minutes Date: Fri, 26 July 1996 13:05:00 +0800 X-Venue: loft@cameron-hall.gu.uwa.edu.au X-Present: [JEB] (James Bromberger - Pres.), [NTU] (Nick Bannon - Sec.), [DGC] (David Chinnery - Treas.), [BBB] (Barnaby Brown - OCM), [DUC] (Duncan Sargeant - OCM), [K?Y] (Kim Yeap - Fresher Rep.), [MJH] (Mikolaj Habryn), [TDH] (David Manchester - HWO), [SAF] (Simon Fryer - HWO). President's report: Financial status is bad. Treasurer's report: +ve, but only in a rather suspect manner. Can pay off all bills with the exception of debts to [MTL] and [NTU]. We haven't paid our phone bill yet - which is large. Incoming/Outgoing Mail: Phone bill. Receipts for network cards. Machine reports: moray: [MJH] is setting up virtual interfaces to let us work out non- PARNet traffic costs more precisely. mermaid: To be upgraded to Debian 1.1. merman: Fell over. The VT220 console was replaced, and it seems fine now. General Business: Financial status: We're still not really using our second phone line. Either we should ensure it's being paid for by its users, or we should disconnect it. ACTION: [BBB] to post that to the list. An UCC executive meeting will occur in the loft on Monday at 1pm. Should drink prices be raised to round numbers (eg 80 cents Coke and 700 cents pizza) ? Jolt (which has the lowest profit margin) will be raised to 111 cents. Other drinks: Motion: "To have pricing between 83 to 86 cents per can for non-Jolt drinks." 5 for, 1 against. Motion passed. Motion: "[DGC] shall be informed of all purchases before they occur." (email is suitable, assuming a reply is received) Motion passed without dissent. Terminals: All the VT220's in the clubroom are either dodgy or dead. Replacements should be extracted from Shenton Park. We now have a door terminal again. Shenton Park: How about a trip this coming Saturday (3rd of August)? ACTION: [TDH] mail to the list announcing this. minnow: Andrew Noonan (supplier of the VAXstations) would like it. What would it cost to freight? We may get something in return - we've been told of some uVAX 3300's going for free - smaller and faster cousins of manta. Clubroom: ACTION: [SAF]/[TDH]/etc. to sort out our stock of IBMs and monitors. DECUS: Membership is free to students - it may be a good place to try finding mullet a home. ACTION: [TDH] will get A.C.C. Murphy to join. finger: GNU fingerd should be set up about the place. Fundraising: We could buy, assemble/fix and sell hardware... Auction: The one that we were going to inspect today has been delayed until Saturday the 10th of August. 22nd Anniversary: Nothing has been organised yet - [SD:] should organise it instead, seeing as [SGD] now has a business franchise to run. Societies Council: Wants the executives of all clubs to be Guild members (financial OR associate). OLGA: No potential sponsors presented themselves or replied to the banner message. Motion: "That we close our OLGA mirror, and commence strenuous looking for sponsors." We could bandwidth limit it instead... Motion passed without dissent. ACTION: [YAK] to be in charge of this. Committee meetings: There's been a lack of specific notice about their times. We need to agree on them, and email them out several days in advance of them occurring. There's been some trouble finding good times for them - Friday afternoon seems promising. Some suggestion that we should split the meetings up into an official one at 1pm on Fridays for important and urgent discussion, and other smaller ones can be held as necessary for less important things. VP: Committee's attention was directed to the absence of the vice- president from many recent meetings. Committee was made aware of the constitutional expectations of the committee members, and a suitable explanation from the VP was to be requested for this absence. It was suggested that the VP may wish to reassess the position and commitment of time to committee meetings. Next meeting: Next Friday, 1pm. ACTION: [JEB] will mail this out. Meeting closed: 1:56pm
