Interesting part
- Open Hacking Hours
- Potential additional events?
- Food more often than never
- Key signing party later in the year?
- Try doing an event on Apr 9, or later?
- (1. May be too soon, rushed; 2. Will there be enough attendance? 3. Needs to scale up to ~60 people)
- Need to have brainstorming session for next semester's programming
- Operations
- Don't experiment on production servers
- transit-2 and storage-4 are intended as production servers, don't experiment on them
- Experimental software was installed, stroucki needs to start over and do a clean install since it would be harder to go uninstall piece-by-piece.
- It should go faster this time
- If you want to test something, do it on a VM.
- New racks - Deferred
- Don't experiment on production servers
