The meeting began with the reports of the summer managers. Partha who was the summer general manager stated that nothing much had politically. Adam Glass stated that the followings things occured over the summer: time passed disk space got more scarce dankg, bastfw, and ngparker were terminated. (was fun!) the ocf mail system was replaced with one descended that lept out of his mind. (Athena?) an attempt was made to upgrade to 10.2 that partially disabled blizzard and is now dependent on finding a working tape drive. soda blew up again. (csua has no luck) --end manager reports-- Adam Glass stated that the OCF should try to get all the broken hardware fixed asap even if we can't effectiverly use it presently i.e before apollo forgets about us completely. [Ed: the service contract runs out in June 1991.]. Sam will do this. The OCF decided not to recharge a cartridge for the first week of school. Instead it decided to wait until the OCF determines its financial situation. Adam Glass told the board that 15 used printer cartridges had been donated to the OCF by an OCF user's company. Adam Glass blurted out an idea to convert the Bigbang and Blizzard disks to account disks mounted on the rest of the cluster. This might postpone the OCF's doom by a few weeks/months. Shannon and Scott pushed for a account re-registration scheme. It was accepted by the board. Three paper copies of the registry will exist + one online copy. The non-registered accounts will be tabulated and eliminated at the end of september or at a time deemed by the board. Appropriate publicity was suggested. The various tecnical issues were delegated to Sam Shen. ("ignore reality") The OCF BOD agreed to go to 2mb quotas. Staff discretion. The OCF elections meeting is in 2 weeks. Sibley auditorium was suggested as a possible location. [Ed: see gwh mail]. meeting adjourned --- warning: advertisement (waters down the brain) looking for 1 bedrroom apartment in Berkeley between now and January. (something reasonable) later, Adam Glass
