Demosplash Planning Meetings

• Have started, directly after GBMs (18:00).

Budget

• Has been resolved!
• Due to some weirdness, they thought Demosplash was a capital expense.
• Also, we apparently got the budget for an oscilloscope, despite what our rep last year told us. So we need to buy this (and an MSX).

• Budget for 2017-18 located here.

Retro Game Night:

• Got CUC Rangos for Saturday, 03 March (16:00-23:30), enough time for setup and teardown.

• No machine room that night, because everyone will be in the UC.
• tparenti is putting together a poster.
• Prof. Franchetti wants to hear when this happens; he's interested in our hardware.

Talk series

• Next up is stroucki (Virtualization in Practice), next week Wednesday.
• fseidel will be sending an email out to members@ and the recruiting lists to announce these.
• Pizza is the same Rialto order as always. It's pre-tipped, so all we have to do is sign the receipt.

• Talk schedule (and presenters) can be found here.

• Structure of series:
  • Bi-weekly: allows for higher quality talks
  • Will be on Wednesdays at 20:00

• Are coming up on 20 March.
• Will start announcing that soon!

Air Conditioner

• AC work order marked as "Complete" last Friday, then "Done" on Sunday. Will give it another look sometime next week.

• Proposed date: Saturday afternoon (12:00-14:00), 28 April.
• Correction: tjjohans will put in a reservation for one of the tables outside the UC.
• Need to figure out how to rent a grill.

• Proposed: an informal series of check-ins/meetings (actual name TBD) once a month or so focusing on maintaining VMs, geared toward the orgs that actually use our machines. Maybe start this sometime after spring break, and offer tea?
• PGH Supercomputing Center tour (Prof. Franchetti offered to get us in touch)
