Mon 15 Oct Meeting Minutes

The minutes of our meeting on the 12th of October.

Present :: David I, David II, Amelie, Toby, Rob, Ed, Sam

Absent :: Everyone else. Obviously.

Have not bought duct tape yet, still to do.
Have sent floor plans to estates, who are meeting today to discuss this.
Are we concerned about signups? Maybe a little bit, we're at 60 signups one week into them. But this can be aided with additional advertising.
Rob mentioned publicity by putting up an advertisement in the Student Cinema.
People should fill in the LAℕ rota.
LAN might start sooner than advertised, depending on what Estates' plans are.
ESports have some swag to give away at LAN, including a chair.
We'll be running Clippy as our music server for LAN.

No open day tomorrow, so we have the full time.
Amelie won't be there for much of it though might swing by.
Discussing plans for Programming Workshops
- Sam brought up several points about their unworkability.
- People want you to cater for several programming languages and are more interested about their tool of choice than "learning how to program".
- It also feels quite teacher-student, it may be more desirable to have a more "clinic"-based approach to this in the future.
- We can discuss this nearer next year, it's not all that feasible to incorporate changes at this point.

Provisional date is the 1st-3rd of February, nice and early in term 2.
We need to talk to Estates about the best place to host this.
We want external attendees to be able to join us, so we need to bear that in mind.

Pop! has been organised for Week 8.
The End of Term meal (and Secret Santa) is organised for Week 10 Friday.
- Will put up an event for this in due course.

People who haven't filled out the LAN rota - do that.

Sam - Start a clothing order
