Suggestions included: - OCF only help sessions, focusing mainly on UNIX use. - Web-based e-mail system. - Replacing Apollo Xservers with more modern terminal, perhaps PCs. - Encouraging the use of the other servers of the OCF, perhaps with a revolving login at ocf.berkeley.edu - Cleaning up 217 Eshleman, and perhaps upgrading the furniture, painting, other aesthetic projects. - Increasing the publicity, perhaps with two media blitzes: one for the opening of 217, one for a General Meeting forum similar to last semester. - More thorough staff training in the basics of system administration. - Initiating a computer recycling program, perhaps using impending donations as a seed. BOD ELECTIONS Jennifer Snider (jenni) was elected to BOD by unanimous vote. The meeting was closed at 9:10 PM. Minutes prepared by Richard Dunn (dunnthat).
