    • Δ

      • Lots of people showed up!

      • Food came late :(

      • People are bound to leave.

      • People came just to eat and do homework.

        • --- This isn’t unique to the CSUA hackathon!

      • Not enough people with authority walking around.

        • More officer volunteers?

        • Not many officers are experienced with running a hackathon (given that many are new officers)

      • It was run poorly :(

        • No keys/access to overflow rooms.

          • Neil managed to keep them open though.

    • Improvements:

      • We should have a sign-in sheet.

        • In the past this wasn’t necessary, because lesser amounts of people.

      • A presentation?

        • At this time, expect this activity!!

        • Dinner, events, etc.

        • Plus a timer on the screen!

      • @Neil will write up a hackathon document for future hackathons.

      • Orientation for future officers?

      • Food got here a bit late.

    • Microsoft dropped out at the last minute :(

    • Make this more official?

    • Hackathon Committee??

      • Perhaps necessary, perhaps not.

      • It’s not been necessary in the past. Maybe we need it because we’ve scaled so big now?

      • But splitting up work creates more work than usual.

      • Having a committee beforehand isn’t the best idea - it’s not that much work to order stuff.

      • Sign-up sheet will be useful though!

    • Was the talk itself valuable? Was it a good time?

      • Propose: talk right before judging?

        • Nah. Most people will leave.

      • Having tech talks like this before the hacking is pretty typical for any hackathon.

  • Board games 11/9 5-8

    • Study hall? Open room??

    • If y’all want board game night, come to the office!

    • Neil: 6PM.

      • After that…. Lottery!

      • Please don’t put 8 people into the same bed.

      • If you’re Ray and you’re okay with sleeping with Jonathan and Caleb in the same bed then come talk to Neil.

      • In general if you’re okay with sleeping in the same bed as someone else, go talk to Neil!

      • Also, common sleepover room!

      • ***If you have a sleeping bag and are okay with bringing it, let Neil know***

    • No snow…… but that means a good hike can happen!

      • Snow doesn’t come until late December.

      • Bring twenty to fifty dollars for yourselves, solely for food, drinks, so on.

      • Keep volume down! There are neighbors.

  • Misc:

    • Costco

      • Megan wants to do it. But Megan doesn’t have money. So Megan will not do it.

      • Yitz might do it??

    • EECS Budget

      • Satish Rao came!

      • Administration costs way too much :c

      • Our plan of action is more articles and make a bunch of noise and so on.

      • Problem: EECS doesn’t really want to make noise about this..

      • But we have to!

    • Tech

      • We are not going to be buying new computers unless we get STF grant money.

      • For now, upgrade the computers that we have!

        • New CPU cooling fans

      • Our hypervisor is old :C

    • Volume. Holy Shit.

      • Too loud.

      • Even if it’s not business hours, the room shouldn’t be too loud.

      • We know we’re a social club but… still. Don’t be too loud.

    • Officer points

      • Slightly restructured! Three columns, one for each event to help out at, then one more column for miscellaneous points.

        • After an event, you should check if your row has you marked down for the respective event.

    • YouTube??

      • Videos of tech talks/infosession?

      • Interesting ideas?

    • Ideas for where we can take the CSUA?

      • Tutoring?
