  • If it ends up flopping (unlikely) (not jinxing it) we will reschedule it to the usual unigames camp spot next year, pay back the rest of the deposit to the other clubs, and keep the booking for ourselves

Room Update:

  • Many updates to come

  • Taylor and Alistair have had a chat about the envisaged final form of the room, and prepared some points for nextmittee

    • The current big table in the room is 4ft * 8ft (standard wargaming size)
    • We should have a wargaming size table in the current spot. so if we get a shiny new one, we should bump this one back upstairs
    • We currently have the couches in a mid-room U shape. Taylor is proposing an L-shape configuration facing the door (meaning we ditch 2 gross couches and get 1 nicer one), the addition of a second duplicate coffee table and bosnai to match. More storage options
    • For the door end of the room, up against the library, we can get a smaller table, maybe extendible
    • The fridge and freezer need to be moved closer to the door to avoid the dreadful choke point between the fridge and the couch
    • Cabinet for committee stuff can be put in the fridge/freezer's current spot, since that will be opened infrequently, so won't pinch
    • Overall: make sure we don't get stuck with narrow spaces that inhibit the usage of the club, keep the room flexible
    • When it comes to buying new pieces of furniture, it will need to be done in stages. Get one new big thing, arrange everything around it, make sure it works, and THEN start considering the next big thing. e.g. figure out couch/coffee tables before we start going for library-side table
    • We need to clean up and restick (carpet tape) all of the carpet squares. Damaged/stained squares should be swapped out, let's ask uwanime where they got them from in the first place.
    • Back corner webcam is getting knocked down frequently so we should submit a maint request to drill into that wall.
    • Emergency kazoo should go in between the mtg lesbians

Reimbursements:

  • Taylor shares her proposed privacy regulation with the committee, outlining the responsibilities of the committee and the expectations/restrictions on committee/gatekeepers/webkeepers, and a time limit on how long data should be held for
  • In general, no one should be looking at personal data when not "required by the law or the constitution".
  • In general, data recorded post-database creation will be automatically scrubbed following a certain time limit. We're not obliging ourselves to go back and redact paper records for now
