General Business ---------------- - Unigames has agreed to reserve the Unigames club room for the Artemis LAN (informing Unigames members not to use the clubroom then.) On two conditions. 1) There is a Unigames Gatekeeper in the room, as per Unigames rules.[There should be 4ish at the Artemis LAN, so put one on any ship that ends up there] 2) UCC publicly acknowledges that "Unigames are bros", in the committee minutes. - [JAB] moves that "Unigames are bros", [M12] seconds. [M12] and [SLX] abstain, all else for. - Unigames are bros. [*OX] : we have 2 KVM switchs in addition to the one in use. I suggest we give it to [DTK], or at least lend it to him until we need it. Gaining us some more space. - Committee doesn't care. Theftbook it. [NEO] : Mark Anderson's ascension to door and coke. - Coke: Mark has a car, and did a drink run recently. Has filled the machine, and came to the door cleanup. - Door: Even in re-application, he didn't address some parts. Quoted UWA Fire regulations at us. - [DTK] moves that [NEO] is put on coke, [GOZ] seconds. Unanimous. - [DTK] moves that [NEO] is put on door, [EDO] seconds. [*OX] opposed, all else for. Motion passed. - LOLDOG is a bit like ACE - you can have as many attempts as you need, but you really should get it right eventually. - Membership is growing, so our processes need to be improving. - Ethical questions about door follow. - [EDO] to set Mark up with door and coke stuff. - [ODF] would like to change his TLA to [JVB]. - No one is opposed. Make it so. - Talk to a wheel member to get it changed. - Rufus would like to make more sincere apologies for his absence at the door cleanup.
