    • Thanks JT for handling it! Literally the most stressful event of the semester.

      • JT had a complaint: Assigning him as event host was very last-minute.

      • If this needs to be done in the future, let’s make this happen earlier.

  • Contracts

    • Contracts???

    • Make a “Term sheet” but not a “contract”

    • Contracts scare away companies.

    • Terminology is very, very important :c

    • Letters of Intent are also useful.

  • Hackathon Sponsorship

    • IBM??

    • Don’t ever call it a <Company> Hackathon :c

    • We can let the company sponsoring it hold an infosession/tech talk.

    • Single-sponsor hackathon? “CSUA Hackathon With <Company>”?

  • Socials!

    • Happening at Neil’s and Megan’s place?

    • Totoro event? Not explicitly CSUA.

    • Ghirardelli trip?? :D

    • You guys should keep your Fridays open!

  • Officer Expectations

    • Don’t want to micromanage you guys.

    • Please just let PB know whenever something comes up. If you can’t make to your OH because you’re sick or something, just let us know and it’s fine.

    • If you have something getting in the way of getting officer points, also let us know.

    • If you see things you want to do more for the club, just let us know! We’d love your help on anything you’re interseted in.

    • Do you think our officer requirements are reasonable?

      • Eric: I think they’re too lenient. They’re not involved enough. “Oh, yeah, just come to three events and come to your OH and stuff.”

      • Neil: We are a social club so it’s hard to really require a stricter presence for officers. Also, a few semester ago, we didn’t really have any requirements: “Does PB trust you?”

      • Megan: OH is quantifiable; points is quantifiable. Presence isn’t really quantifiable.

      • Barak: Three points is pretty hard to get later on in the semester…

      • Eric: If you do something for the club, i.e. put up a website, does that count for a point?

      • Neil: PB is allowed to give out officer points for extenuating circumstances.

      • Caleb: Doing root stuff is pretty useful! Points for root.

      • Mish: The points aren’t really meant to be a ‘get as many points as possible’ thing. No need to compete! We just put it up to make sure you guys meet the bare minimum.

      • Caleb: Just help out with the club, and you’ll probably end up doing more than “3 points” of work a month.

      • Neil: The points were made so that you don’t just come to the office and play games and do nothing else. It’s really easy to get three points. We just want you to help out.

  • Alcohol policy

    • Please don’t be inebriated in the office.

    • Please don’t bring alcohol in the office.

    • Anything that is mostly CSUA people drinking together is not a CSUA event.

    • This includes coming to the office after certain project parties.

  • Server

    • Everything is live!!!!

  • Funds

    • Deepak is busy and overworked :c

    • How to get credit card payments from people?

    • If Deepak doesn’t respond by next week, Yitz will propose to companies that they either send a check or pay Yitz to pay CSUA.

  • Shirts

    • We need more I <3 CS shirts!!!!

  • Tabs (Temporarily Mish became sectreas)

    • New tab board!!

    • All officers write their names on it & transfer their tabs

    • We have a restriction for tab limit: $20!!!

      • If you ever reach $20, you technically cannot add more to the tab

      • Otherwise yitz will track you down and temporarily suspend your officership

        • “For 4 hours Caleb was president and Megan didn’t even know” - Neil

      • Don’t go under -$20 either

      • You cannot touch anyone else’s tab (unless you have their permission)

        • Whoever changed sid’s tab to $20.01 :(((

        • Don’t do that

    • What does membership give?? Computer access, server access, information about our upcoming events, etc

    • Note that members do not get free access to the room -- just when there’s an officer in the room.

    • You don’t have to be a member to get access to the room!!!

    • Go get on the Facebook page if you want to follow our events!

  • Quiz questions:

    • What to do if someone wants to buy a soda through Venmo?

      • @BerkeleyCSUA

      • Make sure that your name is on it. Also make sure that the description has the name of the object. And make sure that the item cost is correct!

    • Tell me about the money box. What goes on there, what happens if someone gives you a $10 bill.

      • Any bill that is $5 or greater goes into the money box rather than just in the drawer.

      • There should never be more than 7 $1 bills outside the box.

    • What if someone asks you to let them into Soda?

      • Don’t let them in. Just suggest that they can follow someone in.

    • Some person that we do not welcome in the office comes in. What do?

      • Suggest that they leave. Tell them that they have broken certain rules repeatedly.

      • We cannot physically remove people from the office.

    • Someone is raging. What do?

      • “Shhhh. Shhh. shhhhhhhh.”

      • You’re being disruptive in the office. Can you turn it down?

      • Bring up that they’re breaking one of our rules.

    • Someone comes in saying they want to sign up. What do?

      • csua.berkeley.edu/newuser. It works!!

    • You walk into the office and someone is passed out on the couch. What do you do?

      • Wake them up gently and tell them they’re not allowed to sleep in there.
