Agenda

Ruth: Still waiting on the date of the iLab hackathon to avoid clashing with our own hackathon.
Ruth has emailed them and will follow this up.
zed0 happy to do a talk next term.
ACTION: zed0 and Ruth to do talk next term.
Ruth: Idea to post past exam paper solutions online.
Consensus was to do so ensuring permissions from relevant people as we go along, i.e. DCS, professors, etc.
Hopefully professors will check solutions, maybe provide marking schemes.
Veltas: Stick email address in with solutions to prompt for corrections.
We shall be ordering food for upcoming IPSC, held in same place as gaming.

ACTION: buy Wiimote, 4 Wiimote Plus adapters, rechargeable AA batteries for Wiimotes as well as spares to allow continuous use whilst recharging.

Turns out the shipping was really expensive for the Guitar Hero drum peddles, going to buy two cheap drum peddles instead.
zed0 has decided to attempt to fix the current drum peddle.
Gaming Officer is now officially Crumpet.
Future sessions of gaming where Crumpet and Murtag are unavailable will quite possibly be covered by kind ex-exec.
Ruth: Having at least one exec there is preferable, even if ex-exec are entrusted with clean-up, or maybe just nudge people out the door before 10am?

Ruth: We should do some kind of a hacking project during BFL.
Main prize at BFL will be a £20 Steam wallet voucher, purchased.
ACTION: Veltas to email pretty much everyone in the universe for possible sponsorship of BFL.

Murtag: Should convince DCS to give us alternate boot to Windows in gaming room.
zed0: Situation is; Windows is a no-go, even Ubuntu would work better (in USB-boot), but still security concerns from DCS.
ACTION: Argha to give Crumpet normal exec account privileges so he can, e.g., add himself to contact page.
ACTION: Crumpet to add himself on contact page.

BBQ can’t be booked on-campus for allotted time.
zed0: Is kindly going to host the BBQ at his house, instead.
booked football pitch for 11-12 this Sunday (that’s the midday 11-12, not night football).
Crash running this Saturday, Ruth is going so will be a society thing.

ACTION: Veltas to make newsletter for upcoming stuff as well as BFL sign-ups open.
