[FVP] thinks we should have physical forms [MLG] thinks digital is fine [PJA] Physical forms means that new door members have to be face-to-face with committee member to initiate responsibilities. Door members should sign a new regulations contract to stay on door. We should give people two weeks to sign the documentation and otherwise purge door. Exceptions at committee discretion. ACTION: [TEC] tp write up new door regulations form this weekend [MLG] motions for committee to do door purge according to the following: - Current door members must sign the new regulations contract to stay on door within 2 weeks or they will be removed – with extensions at committee’s discretion. [FVP] seconds. Passes 4:0:0. ACTION: [MLG] Will communicate and start door purge. 2. Wheel review: [MLG] would like to create a purge similar to the door one. Send an email to wheel asking them to reply that they are interested in staying on wheel within 2 weeks. [MPT] Just because people are removed for inactivity, is doesn’t mean that they can’t be put on. [MLG] It is not a punishment. [MLG] wants to create a motion to do a wheel review: send an email to all members of wheel asking if they are still interested in being on wheel, giving them 2 weeks to reply before doing a wheel purge. [FVP] would like to add a statement for member to uphold current committee regulations, including the wheel ethical guidelines. [MLG] do you want that to be a physical form? [FVP] for wheel, I think digital is okay. - Would signatures be okay in digital? [MPT] doesn’t think that they have to be cryptographically secure. [MLG] motion to do a wheel review according to the following: - Send an email to all members of wheel, requiring a response within 2 weeks to signal interest for remaining on wheel; or else they shall be removed from wheel. [FVP] second. [FVP] thinks it will be good when people reply, they should add in the additional: I agree to follow the regulations of UCC including the wheel ethical guidelines. [PJA] If you put that in the email, and require agreement as part of replying in the positive, it becomes a binding contract. - Then we don't need the form [MLG] motion to do a wheel review according to the following: - Send an email to all members of wheel( which includes the requirement in the email: : I agree to follow the regulations of UCC including the wheel ethical guidelines; requiring a response within 2 weeks to signal interest for remaining on wheel; or else they shall be removed from wheel. [TEC] seconds Passes 4:0:0. 3. - Dualboot PCs - [FVP] wants more Linux near the door and more Windows in the corner - Dualboot is easy enough to setup for fresh installs - Cobra, corydoras, clownfish or porcupine - Maybe even Windows on Napoli...? [BOB] we did this previously, all the best computers tended to stay in windows most of the time, and it was troubling for people when they wanted to use linux. [FVP] We should have default linux on computers. [BOB] Windows should reboot at night. Linux should have automatic updates installed. [MPT] linux should be able to be installed on any computer as a dual boot so long as there are automatic updates. [MPT] motions to support installing clubroom machines as dual boot provided they are set up to automatically install updates for both operating systems. [FVP] having windows is inviting people to install games on it. [FVP] we should ban games on certain computers. [FVP] seconds 3:0:1 [FVP] technical dsfjba on computers makes it difficult to install games on some computers. [FVP] motion to prohibit the installation of games on windows on the following computers: - Pinball - Napoli - Clownfish - Porcupine - Chubsucker [MPT] seconds Passes 4:0:0 4. - Need to get more SSDs. [FVP] thinks we should get like 120gb SSDs [TEC] purpose? [FVP] that’s all you need for a system [MPT] should we look at the replacements for muriso are more redundant so that the same failures don’t happen again. SSD pricing: roughly $50 per SSD [FVP] would like to purchase 4 SSDs for new system disks Budget: $250 [MLG] motions to budget $250 for purchasing 4 SSDs and shipping costs. [FVP] Seconds Passes 4:0:0. 5. - Shirt rack stays inside a lot more than it should - Reminder to put it outside? - Should we start sending door warnings to that effect? 6. [AJT] should we have similar reviews of sprocket and winadmin? [FVP] yes. No reason that they cannot also agree in the same forms as a wheel member, and then have less responsibility. [FVP] motion to do a sprocket/winadmin/webmasters review according to the following: - Send an email to all members of sprocket/winadmin/webmasters ( which includes the requirement in the email: : I agree to follow the regulations of UCC including the wheel ethical guidelines; requiring a response within 2 weeks to signal interest for remaining on those groups; or else they shall be removed from those groups. [MPT] we should get people adding people to those groups should get people to sign things before adding them. [MLG] seconds. Passes 4:0:0 [FVP] motion to clarify that any wheel member, at their discretion, may add members to any group: sprocket/winadmin/webmasters, provided that they inform wheel and the committee upon doing so, and require the member to sign the regulations of UCC including the wheel ethical guildlines. [MPT] seconds Passes 4:0:0 7. [MLG] Kick non-attending members off committee. Constitution: 16.2 [DDA] [420] have not been attending I would like to declare them vacant. [FVP] [420] has not communicated with anyone recently. [DBA] has communicated with [FVP], and has things going on, but has not been giving notice for meetings. We should still cut him some slack.

[FVP] Borrowing regulations – there seems to be no consistency currently. [BOB] Used to be Head tool. Created rules such as: No power tools overnight. Borrowing stuff has always been a problem. [MLG] should we reinstall Head tool? [BOB] Should be clear that not everything in the club can be borrowed. [TEC] Common items should have a whitelist. Other items should go through committee. [MLG] Borrowing should be limited to UCC members. ACTION: [MPT] to create a whitelist for borrowing things and requiring any other items to go through committee.
