  • Brian!!!

    • UPE Web Dev chair.

    • Staff member of OCF.

    • “East Asian Union” but for EECS groups!

      • Why do we need one? We already have ESC, ASUC, etc.

      • If you go to EECS website and see the list of student orgs, there are 17 total undergrad EECS groups.

      • But those are only the officially recognized ones; there’s so many more.

      • It’s hard to book rooms…

      • Lots of students need help with tutoring, advice, industry, internships, aahhhhh

      • We as a whole can do more to help bring EECS together!

      • We’d like to create a collaborative culture:

        • Use the influence of our orgs!

      • Everyone who needs help can get help.

        • Many people don’t know about the tutoring services.

      • Improved communication between the EECS groups as a whole.

      • Modeled after things like EAU or others, like a conglomerate club of clubs.

      • Biweekly meetings with club officers, etc.

      • Agenda focused. Got any issues? Etc.

      • What can we provide?

        • We’ll get people together! More club collaboration.

        • Get news of our events out to more people in a better way

        • Improved communication.

      • We as EECS groups should be able to come together and come up with a better action plan when things like Rao’s thing happen again.

    • Size of EECS has grown to a point where our representation in ESC alone doesn’t cut it.

      • From what we see, ESC doesn’t quite add much value.

    • How would a new EECS group add value to our club?

      • Non-overlapping events, etc.

      • General timeline of events! Synced calendars!

    • What benefits would membership give?

      • Event promotion!

        • Collaborate with other clubs to promote things.

      • Woz/HP reservations. Not sustainable as it is, even without collaboration.

    • One thing an EECS student council could do is to make reserving outside space a lot more viable.

    • Allocation of resources/representation:

      • There needs to be some leadership. How does this happen?

      • Council presidents from the clubs?

      • Doesn’t necessarily require presidents, but send up at least one representative?

    • Email: [sang.bri@berkeley.edu]{.underline}. Contact him for more information here!

  • Calapalooza

    • Plus

      • We had a lot of people come!

    • Csfairs.com

  • EMC

    • Plus

      • Sibley had a lot of room. But we didn’t really need it did we?

      • Good speaker!

    • Delta

      • Bad timing. Right through classes. (right during 170)

      • Hardware :c

    • We have so many events, but some of them don’t really have a purpose. What do??

      • We have this attitude because of slack in past few semesters.

  • Riot (9/7)

    • Flyers!

    • Diversions for sibley.

    • HP, also.

    • Yitz + Caleb will work on presentation

    • Piazza, FB <- Megan

  • Computers!

    • Caleb + Tushar

    • D drives!

    • They are getting very full. A lot of it is user files.

    • Not all computers have SSDs. For those, we can install SSDs along the hard drives

    • For the ones that already do, we need to clear at least some of the data off.

    • The hard drives themselves are already full… because of other things?

    • Costco is selling 1 TB drives for $100?

    • How about we contact EMC for one of their hard drives?

    • Not wiping the SSDs; we’ll just clean the SSDs.

  • New Chairs!

  • New server!

    • Just in case things screw up, back up server datas

  • Newmembers mailing list!

    • Emails are helpful. Let’s get this back up.

    • It would require we finalize events and etc. More doable in a *regular* semester.

    • Sunday, 9/11. 4PM. If anyone can’t make this, talk to Tushar. We’ll be taking pictures on the breezeway.

    • Optional!

  • Office Hours!

    • Yitz checks it.

  • Newuser bug.

    • They can’t access their home directories :c

    • Because our newuser script has a bug.

      • (because now it’s running on Apache, which has ‘safety features’ and can’t run as root :c)

    • It can be manually fixed on a case by case basis.

    • Workarounds are being done.

        • In addition, a few new prosps aren’t getting emails.
    • New prosps!

  • Charlie Tian

    • Hi Charlie!

    • I’m Charlie. EECS, sophomore.

    • Not really an active member before this, but attended a few events and was here over the summer.

    • Interested in CSUA bc in my freshman year, I didn’t really get involved in CS stuff, so now I’m getting more into it. Like more interesting classes, but not just academics! Get more involved, get connected.

  • JC Dy

    • Intended CS, first year.

    • I’m a first year!!! I’ve attended most of the events so far though.

    • I want to be an officer mostly bc I didn’t really have many clubs that I was interested in/related to stuff I did, and this was one of the first clubs here that stood out. It’s a social club! That’s important. Getting a community to start off my four years here at Berkeley is important.

  • Loren

    • CS major, third year.

    • Did school, took time off, came back.

    • Helped at Microsoft, set-up with EMC.

    • I want to help support the CSUA! Answer the questions that freshmen have when they wander in, and the community building that happens at some events. There’s a new focus on events this semester and I want to help and support the community!

  • Blaire

    • 2nd year, CS

    • It’s my first day here and it’s my first day knowing this club!

    • I’m a photographer, I like pictures. I ran a lot of events; used to work at citibank; did a social mixer thing.

    • Why CSUA? Because I love CS people and stuff and I want to participate!
