Prez Notes

bought new fridge and registered it with manufacturer (in name of Lord Calum Dalek, exec@csclub)
with CIF money ordered 2 new office chairs and a new desk (a-f, thin-client, and O2)
Power Outage on the 24,25 we had some experience booting our core servers
floor waxing on the 26th, machines and desks were dusted off
Google-sponsored programming contest was a big hit, thanks to j3camero for that

Things to do in Future Terms

Keys are now arranged through SCS, rather than MathSoc (except for Prez MathSock key)
Keep up the new Office Staff method and policy
We were given MEF funding for new disks for the mirror. Profs want us to mirror Fedora. Talk to Dave Gawley of CSCF who is supplying partial funding.
Monthly Meeting with MWG: good for discussion things like funding
CS Exec Meeting, UAC Meeting, we need to send reps to these every term
Need to make us a Student Chapter of the ACM again, need student members...
"CS10" lecture series that we had (mostly) in DC1304 was very successful, we need to keep up the momentum with these
Still need to ask PlantOps-maintenance people for: new shelves (CIF funding), coathooks in the walls

Gerald Sussman is coming May 24,25. Jacob Parker is the point of contact and primary organizer on progcom, with Edgar Bering helping out.
Edgar Bering is trying to get in touch with John H. Conway for a talk/panel, he will keep you posted on the efforts, and may come asking for money to support it.
DC1304 is booked for the Tuesday slot we had for CS10, they were very successful, with both prof and member talks. I suggest that as soon as you are elected you put out

a call for member talks (and put one with a deadline) and get together a shortlist of professors you would like to hear from.

Edgar Bering has a cocktail of publicity scripts. They will be in a git repo in /users/exec/veep/ and handle a large portion of advertising an event, considering their spammy nature I'm not sure placing them in a public git repo is a good idea, feel free to contradict my judgment.
Open Shot is installed on Natural Flavours and is a very nice program for video editing. There is a /video directory there for storing high quality masters.
There are also nice logo templates for making title cards. A wiki article might go up on video mastering for talks.
Brennan Taylor has created a bunch of talk encoding scripts that are in the CSC git repo.
We still owe John Watrous dinner. Edgar Bering will try to make this happen, it goes on last terms budget and I believe we are still able to claim it. Double check with MathSoc and re-budget if necessary.
A CSC Frisbee team might be cool, MathSoc has funding for such things.
Code Parties are always good fun, and you can find one person to do most of the organization for them.
The membership has spoken: Last term we ran a talk a week, and they were almost always very well attended, so try to keep that pace.
Coffee and Doughnuts can be ordered from the CnD for about $30 for a talks worth, they come on a cart and everything.
There is probably more that can go here that I don't recall at this time. Feel free to ask me (Edgar Bering) any other questions you may have about the job.
