• Catherine reserved NSH Atrium for Fri 24 Mar, starting at 19:00 we think?
  • No objections to that date here, but the week after is available, too
• She'll be getting us hookups to the sound system so we can have video game music for ambiance
• Will end up being a much cheaper event, run through ourselves, not Late Night
  • But expect a lot of Master's students
  • We hadn't requested money for the event from JFC
• There was almost no advertising last year because it wasn't ready in time
  • We can re-use last year's poster
  • Need two week lead to get it posted in dorms, etc.
  • Once we lock details down, Catherine will send to her mailing lists

Talks planning

• Tomorrow (15 Feb): stroucki on sed and awk
• Next week (22 Feb): ezh on Windows
• Food
  • Catherine apologized as she forgot to order the food on 8 Feb because she was busy with the job fair
  • We have ~$160/week budget
  • This week (15 Feb), we're getting pizza, but the particular place is up to us
    • Rialto tends to cater to specialty pizzas, is a bit more expensive

    • Consensus: Same general assortment of pizzas, but from Papa John's

    • fseidel will talk to Catherine in the morning to coordinate this week's order and get a full list of vendors preferred in the past
  • Catherine has also suggested Jimmy John's
    • Their catering is more like finger-food

• fseidel will be seeking reimbursement for the power supply he just bought for the PDP-11 we were given (~$15)

• Discussion deferred
