Meeting minutes for 1999.02.04,
by KF6DMI

Meeting called to order at 1935 hours.

President's Report [KC6QOQ]:
        Got a message from Melissa Genera -- Do we wish to participate
        in this year's yearbook.

                [Keet] Only 50 people signed up to buy it.  They've 
                canceled production of the yearbook.

                Issue resolved.

        Department Secretary wants a list of member's e-mail so that they 
        can be spammed by perspective employers.  

                [KF6DMI] We should give them a central address that
                we can moderate, so that we don't annoy our members.
                We can then send the announcements out to local.  
                Computer manager can set up alias.  

        Kaliski announced that the DECStations in the EE computer lab will 
        be phased out.  Department can't get parts, and can't replace 
        computers.  EE Department will move to PC compatibles and load them
        with a UNIXish OS.

        Poly Plan ("What part of 'NO' don't you understand?").  Source
        indicates that Baker will do what he wants to.

                [Keet] State law only allows student to pay 33% of cost of

                education.  We're already there, so fees can't be raised.

        Funds are currently going to be distributed according to how many
        students are in each major.

        Comments should be sent to:
        polyplan@asi.calpoly.edu

Old Business:

[KC6QOQ] EVEC News: The lock on the courtyard in front of the shack is 
        coming.  It should be keyed so that any key that works in the 
        EE building will open the gate.  EVEC wants us to help keep the 
        gate shut.

[N6NL] The HAM class is going well.  Let N6NL know if you are going to
        show up for the test.  There is another HAM test this Saturday

        Contact N6NL for info.

[N6NL] Wildflower: Group meetings should happen this weekend.  Anyone 
        interested in AVL should meet with N6NL and company for planning.
        There will also be a AVL committee meeting this weekend.


New Business:

[KF6PKU] Wildflower Century: This April.  They need operators for SAG 
        vehicles and aide stations, as usual.

[KE6OMS] Open House: Should we get a open house booth?  

        Consensus is yes, which is tragic, as we have missed the sign up 
        period.  

        [KF6DMI] We can still get a booth, but we'll need to pay the late 
        charge.

        switching 12V output 110V input supply.

        Motion passes

[N6NL] Wildflower: We have given KK6DJ a list of requests for donations
        that he can give the organizers of Wildflower.  It is equipment
        that will help the Wildflower equipment situation, and benefit
        the club.

[KE6OMS] T-Hunt: This Friday.  BBQ at the shack begins at 6.  T-Hunt
        begins at 8.  This will be an on campus hunt, and KE6OMS will
        be the T.
