## administrivia
3237
- 25live (campus space reservation platform) for OCF booking.
3338
- neat + transparent
39+
- storce: SUFMO can see bookings, we can track our own event bookings
40+
- sbwilliams: doesnt that limit our booking of our own space? i want to verify that it is bod and bod only which would determine the booking of a space
41+
- based on their description of 25live, it didnt seem like we'd have much control...
42+
- id want to hear from Event Services
43+
- storce: cool, ill reach out and check about that
44+
3445
- Union of Open CS Clubs with BERK1337
46+
- BERK1337 sent an email about union of open CS clubs (ones that have no application process). wish blakeh was here since CSUA is involved too?
47+
- sbwilliams: will that mean they'll start publishing repos publicly...? what does "open" mean here?
48+
- storce: more of an informal alliance
49+
- vqbc: open as in anyone can join or open source?
50+
- storce: pretty sure they just mean open admission
51+
- storce: mailing list?
52+
- jaysa: we have our discord
53+
- sbwilliams: this is good for normie clubs but not us tbh
54+
- IF they go foss or they become more foss im down tho
55+
- joiew: if we join up with them and they do something weird or bad, reflects badly on us... could anger ASUC
56+
- dont see why we'd need to join
57+
- storce: will bring up more relevant stuff next meeting
58+
- joiew: would ASUC be ok with something like this?
59+
- vqbc: just LARP i dont think they would be
60+
- sbwilliams: ok FOSS would be cool tho
61+

- Post retreat accounting
36-
- Thank you for the retreat! Everyone was super helpful. Especially Mina and Carl for handling the bulk of the logistics and finances.

3764
- Juice & Water + Grocery Uber + First day Safeway + Instacart Costco ~= $700...?
3865
- Going over the previous allocation of $800. We are likely looking at a little over 1k
3966
- Blanket allocation of $1100?
67+
- sbwilliams: this is much higher than our initial allocation? we should have a larger discussion about this
68+
- sbwilliams: this money is primarily for tech purposes, and if this continues happening...
69+
- vqbc: we should do a larger discussion about cost-cutting but we need to get through this time-wise
70+
- sbwilliams: can't we cover the difference later if needed?
71+
- storce: there's already reimbursement over the allocation. we already spent the money. we can go over future prevention.
72+
- last time we allocated 1.5k to retreat but went under
73+
- msonmez: i factored in last semester's "leftover" retreat money into this semester
74+
- sbwilliams: 1900 across the 2 retreats, which im not super comfortable about this... we should keep it under 5% of total jane street allocation.
75+
- msonmez: if there was a concern about going over the budget I wouldn't have planned this retreat, there was much interest
76+
- i do it because people want it not because I want it, it's on someone else to plan
77+
- msonmez: was not the goal to go over our expenses
78+
- unless we go to Senate to appeal or get our large hardware purchases out of the way, maybe we should put off doing retreat / doing it less frequently...
79+
- sbwilliams: perhaps we should codify how much we should put toward retreat each semester
80+
- im only comfortable with increasing the allocation if its accompanied by a codified policy about budgeting for retreat
81+
- storce: ok, if you codify the policy and we bring it next bod and put it into bylaws
82+
- storce: erdaifuu + storce would have to wait a week to get funded, but if bylaw is ready by next week, then we can refund to ensure going over-budget like this doesn't happen again
83+
4084
- SWE event this saturday and sunday, Nix meetup next week.
4185
- Opstaff for sunday? 9:00AM to 3:00PM
86+
- eariespraud: yep, allocation opstaff to cover these hours!
87+
- to watch the middle-schoolers for the SWE++ event!
4288
- will email SUFMO to remind them of all this
89+
- storce: technically after 6PM building is closed but andy never followed up with me on how to properly schedule this event.
90+
- jaysa: for ppl at nix event, what to keep in mind
91+
- storce: issue nametags. im trying to see if email confirmation from luma is good enough
92+
- storce: asked MLK staff to have a confirmation email from luma
4393
- should we raise color quota for the end of this semester?
94+
- this is blakeh's item but he's out :(
95+
- sbwilliams: we can do this with SM approval as well
96+
- we should maybe formalize but atm SMs are allowed to raise the quota!
4497
- nominations!!!
98+
- you can nominate just 1 head for a position
99+
- constitution states only those on bod can run for positions
100+
- storce: we can waive this for certain members, though
101+
- sbwilliams and jaysa: no, people should be constant bod numbers before being nominated
102+
- sbwilliams: please CHECK ANNOUNCEMENTS since we are doing async nominations
103+
- you can nominate yourself
104+
105+
- Adding lukegon to BOD, sawansri and jaysa vouches
106+
- mostly bc erdaifuu wants a second head to help him out
107+
- VOTE: 17 FOR, 1 ABSTAIN
108+
- lukegon not added until next week technically

## operations
111+
112+
- OM hiring
113+
- storce: making opstaff an official campus job
114+
1. would require us securing an official funding source
115+
- CACSSF does not provide recurring funding
116+
- student fee referendum is the other option
117+
- storce: we've been hesitant to pursue this for some years
118+
- jaysa: it would be on top of existing SSF money, so we would be charging students overall more
119+
- sbwilliams: extra money going towards OCF would be worth it though imo, it's a good campus resource
120+
- ethanhu: increasing return-to-aid clause on OCF fee?
121+
- storce: would be a large effort that would take a very long time
122+
- joiew: why do this?
123+
- storce: we wouldn't have uncertainty of not receiving CACSSF money
124+
- also opstaff are currently taxed as "self-employed" so they pay extra taxes
125+
- jaysa: 2 main questions, would we retain control over **hiring** and **scheduling**?
126+
2. get opstaff approved
127+
3. get campus to approve
