    • Time? Sid (look below)

    • Food/Room/Key/Signup, Barak

      • Woz

      • No food.

  • GM1 9/9 8-11 PM

    • GM 1 should be rescheduled, as it’s our most flexible event.

      • Earliest sensible time is 9/20, 8PM.

      • That’s rather late. GM 2 is 10/20.

    • Flyer/facebook/announce, Julie

    • Food/Room/Key/Signup, Neil

      • Woz.

    • The fact that the GM is on the same day as Micron and Dropbox will probably lower GM attendnace.

      • Micron will have Woz. Dropbox is in Sibley.

      • The people we want attending GM are mostly people on southside (then also Foothill.)

        • So people attending Dropbox in Sibley then walking over to GM in Woz is less than we’d like

      • Idea: GM 1 will be rescheduled.

        • Full vote for reschedule to 9/20 (except Sid)

  • Issues with booking Sibley.

    • We should probably go in person in the future to ask about this because there’s so much ambiguous stuff.

    • If we don’t ask about our lack of a guard though, they might decline it right when we get the key, so we really should ask now.

    • Sibley is a clusterfuck.

  • Vim workshop rescheduling

    • Our booking was canceled.

    • We can reschedule or just not do it.

    • Workshops in priority are: Unix, LaTeX, then lastly Vim.

  • Pinterest: 9/15.

    • @Barak for external event.

  • Misc:

    • Updating photo on csua website

      • Yes pls.

        • Yes photoshop Sid in (Sid votes yes!)

    • Jobs mailing list, Julie

      • Go through whatever blurbs we have and send it out!

        • jobs-mailing@csua??? Confirm pls.

  • Server/new computers/wipes

    • Email people @Megan

    • New computer part check should be on its way (y)

  • Discussion:

    • Officer involvement/points/retreat

      • We want more officer involvement. Because we’re doing a lot more shit and we need to hold our officers to higher standards.

      • There’s currently nothing to make an officer want to do something.

        • “Wow, we really can’t get our officers to do anything!”

        • So we need a way to track officers so that well-performing officers will go on a trip.

      • Two-fold solution to the problem of officer responsibilities:

        • Incentivizing officer participation.

        • Punishing inaction by removing officership

      • Bare minimum to make an officer stay as an officer.

        • Hit a higher amount to go on the retreat.

        • 3/month point thing?

      • If you don’t hit the minimum and have a legitimate reason, contact Neil.

      • Taking out trash (take a selfie of the trash you’re taking out), helping unload/drive/anything for a Costco run, volunteering for an event, +1 point!

      • @Neil, update the point document and make it public to officers.

    • Curtain on door? Image of our club?

      • We’re not allowed to.

      • We shouldn’t be hiding what we’re doing, actually.

      • Set up a banner so that when you look into the door, you can see exactly what we are! CSUA!

      • We don’t want the people who just “look in and move on” - we want the people who “look in and actually try to see what we do”

      • People (officers) aren’t paying attention to the door when they game.

      • Put up the upcoming events on the door.

        • @Julie: Keep them up to date

        • So now, we have flyers on the door and people see those first and not the computers first.

        • Solution = show that we’re doing things besides gaming.

  • Digital signboard is ready to go!

  • Officer vote on Robert Chang?

    • Yes!

  • Satish Rao

    • Against the school, in support of the department.

    • Megan will meet with Satish

      • + Anyone who wants to go

    • Satish is asking for us to act on behalf of the department.

  • In previous semesters, we’ve given past alumni a lot of power. I.e. officership.

    • Rather unfair to not give them anything, even if they want to help.

    • Sure, not all alumni should be accepted as officers…

      • But maybe we should consider doing something for them.

    • The requirement of 3 points per month will cut out certain alumni that can’t show up as much.

      • But perhaps if they manage to be able to do 3 points a month (and hold office hours and etc), they can stay as an officer.

    • Other solution: Only give Jeff the door code. No other alumni get it and he doesn’t get other officer perks.

    • Another option: Invite him to join us on the retreat.

    • Some criteria for alumni being given access to the office.

    • Alumni Team! Or Hoser! Or something else!!!

  • Past members are upset about changes we’re making.

    • We’re literally re-building the CSUA.
