Tue 30 Jan 2018 Meeting Minutes

Minutes for the exec meeting on 2018-01-30

Present: David I, Adam, Sam, Callum, Rob

Late: David II, Amelie, Elliot, Ed

Absent: Everyone else. Obviously.

Table 1 extended without permission. This shouldn't happen in future, and we should be a little more vigilant.
Seating plan is under construction, and hopefully will be ready by next LAN, but it may not be.
People are increasingly relying on CompSoc ethernet cables and failing to bring their own. We should reduce the number we bring so that this no longer happens, and make sure we keep track of who has them.
Speaking of cables, we need to look into replacing some of our Ethernet cables, as they are getting a bit kinked and ropey. Also need ot buy a new switch for table 4.
We liked the wiring of the Ethernet through the roof, and will continue this in future. Fewer things to run over with chairs!
Dijkstra needs updating, as it hasn't been for a while. youtube-dl as well as other things. Should also buy a (however bad) GPU with HDMI output.

Election of Gaming Officers is not preferble to appointing them, as they report to the exec rather than the society as a whole.
Sam needs to remind people to join the society before Friday, and get a list of names on Friday for the AGM in two weeks.
Handover packs should be provided by the old exec by the end of this term for the new exec to learn their roles.

HTC Vive controller needs fixing (the button is jammed). Seems to be a common fault, which we do not own the tools to fix. Well, we didn't, but David I bought some. Should fix once the tools arrive (probably tomorrow).
Should update servers for Meltdown.
