[edit] 3. Servers Update
The HSA informed the committee that Hespera was working fully, with all hitherto requested services running.
[edit] 4. Ideas for server use
Several ideas were floated for innovative services to provide with our server infrastructure. These included:
- Provision of a games server (Quake/other FPS)
- Internet radio (ShoutCast) through the college proxy
- A web or shell IRC client
- A web FTP client(WFTP) to facilitate members using their webspace
- The HSA feels this will be implemented shortly
- It was suggested that new accounts should have a default webpage with links for setting up such things as a blog etc.
- Use of spare servers for Folding@Home cancer-curing efforts
[edit] 5. Events / LAN Parties
The ideas for a large, corporate-sponsored console gaming event were discussed at length. There was a consensus to go ahead with this event as a priority. It was felt that mid-way through the second term would be an appropriate time for this event.
It was agreed that LAN parties should be held a few times per semester.
It was suggested that some form of charity event be organised.
[edit] 6. Hoodies
There was support for the production of a committee hoody. Several design possibilities were considered. Anyone with a design idea can add it on the hoody page
[edit] 7. Talks
In keeping with the society's move toward being a more general computing society, it was felt that academic talks on topics of computer science should be organised.
It was also agreed that it would be good to get some employment talks from corporate representatives.
[edit] 8. Social Events
There was a consensus for the society to hold regular coffee mornings, possibly in the Computer Science building. The organisation of coffee mornings was delegated to the OCMs.
It was also suggested that the society hold a drinks/pizza reception.
[edit] 9. AOB
It was suggested that the society website be improved.
It was felt that the society should secure itself a general e-mail address for society use.
It was a agreed that an ops team meeting should be held soon.
It was agreed that Netsoc should provide web-hosting for other UCD societies that may need it.
There being no other business, Mr. Duffin closed the meeting at 20:10
