Here are the results of our meeting on 1/24 meeting. Sorry i have been really busy and not gotten this up yet.
Officer Changeover
we will be holding elections for officer positions as soon as fastest geek is over. This means the new officers will have time to get settled in with no pressure, and we will be able to walk them through anything they might have questions about
Fastest Geek
the dates are going to be
Feb 21 - 11-4 - Open Preliminaries - Anyone can stop by and compete
Feb 22 - 2-3 - Finals - anyone can watch, dell rep. will be on hand, along with media and all prizes will be given out
We talked about prizes as well, they are
- Dell Laptop

A few of us are getting together on Feb 2 or 3(next weekend) to put together the computers we have for fastest geek and ensure they work and all. If you are interested in helping out or coming to see the computers, I will put up a post once we decide on times and such and put it on the calendar.
At and T is wanting to come and give a technical presentation on networking.
They will present a case study on the 11 local McDonalds, which all are managed on a single T1 internet line provided by At&T. The technical details of how this works will be presented.
Another presentation that would be upcoming is the MSDN NET presentation. They are a large ISP in north america. Details later.

Here are the notes for the last meeting. Remember that they want to open this up to all students, so don’t worry if everyone seems to have a title now they do not want that. I thought anyone interested in going might want to see who all from the administration was there and what they talked about.

P.S. You will need to read this post directly to see the minutes, i didnt want to clog up the front page

Looks like VSG is getting a little mad that vanderbilt is rolling over and letting the RIAA kick us…here is a choice excerpt of a bill they recently passed to admin
BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Vanderbilt Student Government urges the Administration to lobby legislative bodies vigorously to relieve college and universities of the onerous burden of being a policing agency on behalf of copyright owners
full bill included below. (dammit, this, for people that are confused, means VSG is politely asking vanderbilt admin to stop letting the riaa ask them for any of our private info and to leave us the hell alone. they suggest the riaa should screw off stop asking vandy to do their dirty work for them in trying to track students down. )

Guys,
Just got the specific E-Week Schedule. Engineering week is Feb. 18-23, and all the information is now on our calendar. We are doing the fastest geek Competition on Thursday (prelims) and friday (finals). First place is confirmed to get a dell laptop (i dont know the model yet, but i will soon) and dell will likely provide a second place of a pocket computer. I am looking into getting more prizes paid for by IEEE/ACM, so please check the forum on that (its in the things ieee/acm should do, i believe) and post there if there is a specific prize you think would be cool.
Hamy
ps. more info on what fastest geek is in a bit when i have more time
