      • Good turnout!

      • Speaker was great. And they were happy!

    • Δ

      • Ran out of food…

    • Give companies a restaurant-menu to choose from?

  • Startup fair,

    • +

      • Went well!

    • Δ

      • Not enough shirts.

      • The total number of shirts this year was good? But distribution was bad.

    • Megan is the only person sticking around for Startup Fair next year from the leaders?

    • Maybe make this happan earlier..?

      • Because companies are done hiring for internships?

      • Not true for Startups.

      • Maybe we should make the startup fair happen 2 weeks earlier

      • But we have too many events during that time

    • Barcode scanners are a lot of fun!

  • CV

    • +

      • All positive feedback!

      • People who went to Git too also said that this one was better.

      • Got things installed on CSUA server so that people wouldn’t have issues with downloading

    • Δ

      • Put it into an iPython notebook rather than a script?

    • If we got iPython notebooks running for all of our workshops, that’d be pretty cool.

    • 6 people attended!

    • Probably wasn’t publicized enough? Only a few people marked *going*

    • ML@B is copying us :(

      • During our workshops, they put up events on Facebook relevant to our topics

      • They don’t really care what other clubs do?

      • This isn’t our problem - if ML@B has an issue with this, they can talk to us.

      • They didn’t really have many workshops last year - they’re suddenly making these on the spot?

      • This doesn’t mean much to us unless they’re plagiarizing.

      • Megan will go to the workshop to check.

  • GM2 3/10

    • GM 2 is tomorrow!

    • Tushar’s dad is coming.

    • Good Chinese food!

  • Opentable 3/15

    • Cancelleeeeeddddd.

  • Paper reading 3/16

    • More paper reading!

  • Blizzard 3/22

    • Details being finalized

    • No requests yet

  • Palo Alto Networks?

    • Too far ahead. In the works.

  • Food

    • CS people don’t manage nutrition very well :c

    • People sacrifice eating because they don’t have time. Not because they have no money!

    • How do we address this?

      • Loren: We currently buy food in bulk every week to three weeks. Can we buy a batch of evening meals and sell them at cost? Buy a meal around the same time every week and sell that?

      • Megan: We can make one person in charge of that.

      • Sid: Imperfect produce? One box to the CSUA?

      • Neil: I like Loren’s idea. The issue is that if we do it on a weekly basis, it might not be sustainable in terms of money?

      • Yitz: It’s certainly sustainable in terms of money. We have lots.

      • Sid: Make a poll on FB?

      • Tushar: Gauge how much we need?

      • Ray: Is this even legal..?

      • Naahhh…..

      • Caleb: Talking to EECS dept is probably the wrong way to go. Either we do everything right, or we just fly under the radar instead.

      • Neil: We want to offer more to students staying late in Soda. Healthier alternatives? Tell EECS dept that we’re interested in helping students make better choices; how can they help us?

    • ...Soylent……????

      • No con to trying it out for one box.
