We have a banner!!! Yay!!

Dr Liszka says stuff:

She is the editor of an annual newsletter that'll probably be put out in January. She's looking for articles.

Ideas for the ACM: programming contest, child's play, graduating seniors, future ACM events

She'll also have stuff about alumni, faculty research, other upcoming events, etc.

During finals week, they're having a special "computer science education" week. We might invite alumni to our student faculty bowling night (which is Dec 4). But she's looking for other ideas for what we can do that week.

The programming team will be meeting for the competition on Fri at 4:30. Meet in the lobby of CAS. Have your bag packed and ready to go. You'll also need your waiver if you haven't already filled it out.

We have a scratch box development environment. Yay! The department gave it to us. Trever is installing Fedora 11 on it. Let him know if you want an account. It has android, irobot, imobile, other stuff.

We also have a nice table throw that should be in soon.

Trever is ordering the new hardware for the server. We'll have 1 TB of storage available for everyone to share soon.

Meeting minutes as remembered by the secretary 5 days later, because she had a splitting headache and forgot she needed to be a secretary at this meeting.

The meeting was held outside in the amphitheater behind CAS because it was a beautiful day. Trever and Adam were playing with the robot. Making it follow walls, pestering passers-by, that sort of thing.

New ACM Forums!

Submitted by tdf11 on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 16:02

Hey, all. Figured I'd post something to the ACM site that wasn't a maintenence log.

I created two new forums for everyone: Geek Lounge and Programming Help.

I have no clue how the Geek Lounge will be used, but it sounds more inviting than just "off topic", yeah?

Cheers.

Meeting phase 1: How do you amuse a room full of computer people? Give them an irobot to play with. :-)

Trever passed out shirts. They are $18. Bring money next week if you didn't get yours yet

Ashtan carries duct tape. Behave accordingly.

We're still collecting forms for Child's Play consoles and other equipment.

We're also still working on getting gift cards and other donations from local places. The exchange is probably an option, but gamestop is probably not because they're very corporate.
