Meeting Minutes

[Michael E. Karpeles]

CSSA Minutes 10.8.2010 Wed (1st meeting)

Howdy ... Linux Apple Microsoft Enthusiasts, Researchers, & Students

(That's LAMERS -- since calling ourselves "hackers" is a thing of the
past)

* We'll miss Zack (our scheduled CSSA VP) who is unable to be with us
this year.

* Our new CSSA VP is... I didn't catch this? Someone please send the
name out over the listserv and also update the website

* Mek is creating a google groups page to collect all of our "AWESOME"
reads and stuff. In other words, instead of spamming the listserv,
let's move it to google groups. This way people on the list won't be
upset. Also, people who have gmail accounts will get emails when
people have posted so you won't be inconvenienced or miss anything.
More on this soon!

* website up - I've been making a few updates now and again. Chris had
really rocked the socks with Wordpress. A site-from-scratch was
suggested, and droopal, but those got turned down.

* android applications
- in clojure?!
Ask Chris for more information! Use the listserv to suggest potential
projects.

* possibly have a lab? This comes straight from the top; Dean of CEMS.
Something to check up on. There might be lab space!

* Open and Accessible : Math Club Meetings coming up! Free Pizza. Talk
to Robin!... P.S. Robin, send out an email to advertise... Send it to
csugrads (or whatever the address is) as well as math and
engineering! ;o)

* Code Camp - Coming up THIS weekend. Going to be awesome. Check our
site for more information

* Tons of us gathered (even from a distance) using ustream (which has
the option to record broadcasts). Chris, you should definitely do that
next time (as a replacement for minutes). Worked out great.

* Leif has become a long distance CSSA'er. We wish him success and
hope he keeps in touch often!

* General notes: make announcements at classes to advertise, talk to
CEMS web admin to get tech talk announcements put on CEMS website.

* In addition, Phelan provided some job information (shown below):

Sincerely,
- Michael E. Karpeles
