  • Root

    • Helped an alumni get access to his account!

    • We’re fronting money out of our own pockets for this, just so that Caleb doesn’t get sent another W-9 form.

    • Caleb will be talking to Deepak tomorrow so maybe he can get more information?

    • Sid can help with fronting?

    • Some form of slush loan for people fronting money.

    • Officer points for helping with maintenance!

  • Funds

    • We’re a CS social club that’s supposed to support undergrad community

      • We have lots of money but not really a place to use them

      • Buying things for our office isn’t actually that beneficial for the community

    • Yitz proposes that we help fund other clubs, kinda like ESC

      • New clubs

      • People doing projects that need funds

      • Apply via a form & we decide whether or not we give them money

    • Sid thinks we should fix our office first before we spend money on other clubs (e.g. TV)

    • Caleb: skeptical, we put in effort for our own money, we should save money for ourselves, very skeptical about who we give money to

    • Barak: before we give money away, make sure there’s nothing we have to spend money on in the office first, giving money away is last priority

    • Things we should fix: carpet, TV, microwave, sofa, etc.

    • Neil: things that we fix won’t cost *that* much

    • Caleb: Sid won’t be around forever, it’s good that we have money now but we won’t always be this financially well off

    • Neil: we might mess up, other clubs will be dependent on us which is a lot of responsibility

    • Yitz: we can get ASUC to fund this if we put this out well enough, ESC doesn’t reach out to enough small clubs or projects

    • Neil: how would a student who needs funding go about getting money from us? How do we make sure money is used properly?

      • Yitz: idea is still in the works, details aren’t hashed out yeet

      • Sid: ESC reimburses receipts, doesn’t give out blank checks

    • Neil: this is a lot of responsibility, might need another committee, too much responsibility for PB especially when we are very busy

    • Caleb: doesn’t trust this system and would want to be very involved

    • Megan was on board, really wants to help general CS community

    • Sid: Pay for a cluster set of computers?

    • JT: No need to spend for something we can get for free. So get that grant thing.

    • Too many concerns here.

    • Sid: What if we increase our presence? Put volunteers into the department? Host more? Publicize our servers more? Workshop on ‘how to work with ASUC’? ‘How to get your money back from Deepak’?

  • Socials

    • UPE, HKN, CSUA LAN party is happening!

      • Will UPE bring in enough people… :(

      • We’ll bring up consoles!

      • Computers are meh though.

    • More general CS socials! CSUA hosted!

      • More welcoming social events.

    • Campus-wide capture the flag.

    • Board game nights?

      • CSUA people recently haven’t been interested?

    • Bowling will likely be middle of next week!

  • Cal Day Volunteering

  • Prosps

  • Enhancements for the office

    • Vacuum

    • Carpet

      • We can do this over the summer, potentially.

      • We’ve steam cleaned before.

    • TV

    • Couch

    • Microwave

    • Full clean of the office?

      • Too many people don’t care and make the office messy anyways.

      • Worst part is lack of windows.

      • Air purifier/freshener? (no febreze)

    • Trash can and new recycle bins

    • Back office

      • Library of games into the back?

    • Priority: Couch, microwave, vacuum. We can get this with ASUC money.

    • Save TV for next semester, when we can spend lots more ASUC money on it.

  • Mish’s speech

    • We’ve been having problems in general with discipline and people disciplining each other.

    • We’re all officers/prosp. No one is above each other.

    • Even if you’re a freshman, you have the authority to tell PB when they’re breaking rules!

    • And if you’re PB, you’re not above the rules.

    • Don’t be afraid to speak up. And don’t be afraid to tell PB if you feel like you’re being targeted or something.

    • Don’t be afraid to stand up for things.

    • If you don’t feel that you can talk to another officer or a member about their member, don’t hesitate to private message any of us or fill out our feedback form if you need it to be private!

  • Be careful about cancer and circlejerking during business hours!
