Last week of classes--good luck on exams! This is therefore the last meeting of the year
0xDEADBEEF Postmortem
- Went great and was a lot of fun! Borrowed merichar's grill (thank you!) because FMS told us that they were all taken last-minute for five separate events.
- Used most of the food we got, and got positive comments re the poster.
- Shoutouts to scunning, sacunnin, and lroop for getting/transporting the ingredients, and to tjjohans for preparing grilled onions.
- We should get drinks next time, whoops.
- Consider hot dogs, as well.
- Someone refused to take food without paying, so we got a $5 donation.
- 0xDEADBEEF has traditionally been in the Fall, we can do it in mid-September as another recruiting event next semester.
- Posters
- tjjohans has designed promotional posters to put up for the Summer semester and in the Fall. General consensus is that they're funny and they should go up.
We Need to Spend Money: End of Semester Edition
- fseidel has picked out an MSX ($130, including shipping) from a reputable seller -- Approved.
- lroop is going to look into oscilloscopes ("Get back to me by Friday" -- fseidel).
Movie Night
- Tuesday, 08 May @ 21:00 in Rashid
- Galaxy Quest
- Be there or be a right rhombus!
- tjjohans has offered to put together a poster for advertising.
Talk series
- We are done for the semester!
- Rialto has been very shaky recently (late deliveries, uncut pizzas, wrong phone numbers, etc.), so Catherine suggests switching food vendors.
- Quiznos may be a good choice (we trust Jeff Dille).
- We have interest in Thom Popovici and Prof. Hoe for talks next semester.
- Thinking about changing the times for talks; 8-9pm on a weeknight may be a late for a lot of students. Still need to discuss what time might be best in order to avoid conflicts with classes and labs.
- Maybe also record slides and audio, or have some sort of videoconferencing set up for people who can't make it
Componium
- Has been on the network for a week, is not yet on the club network
- Once ronitb is done with it, fseidel will set it up and connect it to the normal club infrastructure (see his soon-to-come operations email).
- We may also send some info about what ronitb is doing (real-time video stitching) to Nvidia just to let them know what we're doing with it.
- Treblemakers
- Showed up last Saturday, but no one was really equipped to help them; they will be showing up this weekend.
