Term Notes/W2009

Reminders for Veep

MEF Has given us $600 to purchase a digital cutter and adobe illustrator. These need to be purchased, and billed to MEF.
Joel Spolsky is coming on Jan 22. His hotel has been arranged by ebering. A room needs to be booked. Funding is from MEF.
We have funding to bring Michael Geist, however we need to finish tagging up with him.
RMS is coming on Jan 29. His accommodations are likely to be handled by someone in Toronto, but if they back out we'll need to find a place for him. HH Theatre has been booked tentatively, pending conformation with RMS for changing the talk time. If he doesn't agree we need to book AL. All of it.
Craig Kaplan has agreed to give us a series of lectures on NPR and computer generated abstract geometry, using our shiny new digital cutter. Be sure we work with him to run these.
The IQC really wants to give us talks, they like us. Make sure they're spoken to, mgregson has sent out the preliminary invitation.
Unix tutorials are currently available on the page given in the F2008 term notes, if ebering moves them yell at him. Also, try and expand on the body of knowledge, a unix 103 and 104 would be nice.
/users/exec/veep/* has more things of use/interest including publicity tools and specific templates for putting together events.

The books were scanned in, cataloged, categorized, and shelved in an orderly fashion. See Library project for the current status.
There is a large deficiency between the library, modern reference, and the current curriculum, perhaps a MEF proposal to correct this.
