Minutes:

Bloomberg:

• One person is needed to do the presentation and another person can assist.
• Takes place on Tuesday 25th May.
• There is no provided transport, we should e-mail Bloomberg asking if the cost of transport can be covered.
• The presentation needs to be about what the society would do, how we would benefit.
• MrWilson will do the presentation.
• The presentation can be written in Google Docs, so all exec can have input.
  Action: MrWilson to e-mail Bloomberg asking if they can pay for transport.

Games focus testing:

• The original e-mail was received quite a while ago.
• If we are going to do anything, needs to be ASAP.
  Action: TeamDoherty to send an e-mail to sort this out. (After exec meeting)

Action Follow-up:

• Connorhd has not finished marking the ProgComp.
• Cranman received the e-mail from Azurit and the Xbox 360 hard drive has been ordered by Cranman for gaming.
• MrWilson recalls Azurit saying he was going with Agaeki to buy an Xbox 360 hard drive.
• “BRB” - MrWilson.
• The majority of the exec now attempts to get in touch with Azurit/Agaeki to prevent the hard drive being bought.
• “DOS, DOS.” - Sinjo.
• Crisis was averted.

• We now have network cables colour coded by length.
• The stuff for the servers was bought and the servers have been updated.

Game Tournaments:

• “I’ve had a think about it.” - TeamDoherty
• “Great, because that was all you were required to do.” - SigmaD
• “Fucking Sorted.” - Sinjo
• TeamDoherty is thinking about running tournaments, maybe Pokemon or another SF4 tournament.

Steam:

• Agaeki has not yet managed to get the new steam working under Wine on the DCS machines.

The Cupboard:

• We have new boxes for the cupboard.
• MrWilson’s verdict on the boxes: “Really neat.”
• Roger has been asked to look for an extra shelf, which we now have room for.

Clothing:

• The current plan is still ordering clothes from the website on an individual basis.
• The main cost is the digitising of the logo (£35), which the society should do.
  Action: MrWilson to organise the digitising of the logo.

LAN:

• Fyorl needs to speak to Roger about the trolley.
• As Fyorl can’t be bothered to revise, it is likely the new music server will be finished for the week 5 LAN.
• In the future, CompSoc should tell Warwick Game Design(and AnimeSoc) when the LANs are at the start of the year to avoid event clashes.

Newsletter:

• Needs to mention LAN sign-ups in week 5 and the BFL.
• Also needs to mention the beast pizza order.

Events:

• “Paint-ball seems to have sorted itself out miraculously”-Dirtus
• Currently, Dirtus plans to have the CompSoc barbecue on the Sunday before BFL and the ‘fun thing’ on the Saturday.(Possibly Go-carting)
• SigmaD and MrWilson will be having fun in the Combinatorial Optimisation Exam on the Saturday.

Academic Talks:

• Would consist of members of the society doing talks.
• We can e-mail the DCS reception to have the talks advertised in the DCS lobby.
• The society should consider doing revision lectures/revision guides like the Mathematics Society, which are popular.
  Action: MrWilson to decide if we put on academic talks this term and when.
