The UCC has extensive records, unfortunately mostly of the unsorted variety. For the 25th anniversary (7 years ago), Dr Emma Hawkes worked to compile a history of the UCC. You can access a draft version of this document from our website (the rich text file is formatted and contains correctly numbered footnotes): http://www.ucc.asn.au/aboutucc/history.ucc This document should give you a starting point for research into the history of the club. If you're interested in any specific records or speaking with any former members, let us know and we will attempt to assist you as best we can. If you're interested in more recent records (that is, those from the last 7 years), most of these are available on our website, including complete minutes of the committee: http://www.ucc.asn.au/infobase/committee/index.ucc and the "Fresher's Guide": http://www.ucc.asn.au/infobase/freshguide/index.ucc I hope you find this information to be helpful. Please feel free to contact us again if you want any more information or to view physical records.

Message-ID: <4553F62E.7050802@anu.edu.au> Hi everyone! I'm a member of CLUG, and I recently came across a novel fundraiser which, I think, fits in with the nature of open source hackery: coffee! Kaldi Coffee has seven different blends of coffee available in eight different grinds and three different sizes, and over a third of the money spent will go directly to Linux Australia to keep it doing the excellent stuff it does. You can find a brochure for this at http://www.mabula.net/KALDI_fundraising_brochure.pdf The problem is that they only deliver locally - that is, in Canberra. Coffee is a universal thing, and I didn't want to exclude other LUGs from this fundraiser, so I'm looking for a person (or people) in each LUG to be a coordinator for the fundraiser. Basically, they need to collect the orders by the 30th of November, send them to me along with money, and then receive the delivery of the combined orders from your LUG and distribute them as appropriate. I will arrange to ship all the coffee for your LUG by the best combination of cheap, speedy and reliable. If you're interested in helping me raise funds for Linux Australia, please contact me and we can sort out the details! Thanks in advance, Paul P.S. Sorry for sending the large attachment to the committee list before. Stupid me, I didn't realise that it was so huge.

Given the support that the UCC has received from Linux Australia, we're more than happy to get behind this fundraising exercise.

I feel users should provide their own headphones or arrange to borrow with another member. Many people now carry headphones for their Personal Entertainment Device, so it's not like we're asking people to carry around huge cans just to use our computers. We could probably buy a couple of pairs of $14 headphones to sell for $15 ea. Many of our machines have front panel audio, or we could put an 3.5mm jack on the front patched through from the back. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA From matthias.liffers at gmail.com Mon Nov 20 13:16:54 2006 From: matthias.liffers at gmail.com (Matthias Liffers) Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 13:16:54 +0800 Subject: [committee] Headphones for club machines In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <752f8bd30611192116i7f43db7fo51e9d1f03694da26@mail.gmail.com> Loan headphones have hygiene implications.

Chas and I talked about this tonight, and we came up with the idea of selling one headphone/microphones - see http://www.anyware.com.au/Browse/a4551ee5f25a4f5fba551fad5deb4d4f001ItemDetail.aspx These have the benefit of small size, a mic which can be used for voice chat, and still allowing people to hear other people in the room. Both-ear headphones cause people to shout in order to be heard by other people. If someone really wants stereo sound they can provide their own headphones. So UCC would buy some quantity of these (I can get them wholesale for $14) partially based on preorders with a few spare, and provide labelling and a place to store them when not in use. -- # TRS-80 trs80(a)ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au #/ "Otherwise Bub here will do \ # UCC Wheel Member http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/ #| what squirrels do best | [ "There's nobody getting rich writing ]| -- Collect and hide your | [ software that I know of" -- Bill Gates, 1980 ]\ nuts." -- Acid Reflux #231 / From shmookey at shmookey.net Mon Nov 20 22:17:56 2006 From: shmookey at shmookey.net (Luke Williams) Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 22:17:56 +0800 Subject: [committee] Headphones for club machines In-Reply-To: References: <752f8bd30611192116i7f43db7fo51e9d1f03694da26@mail.gmail.com> <1164019897.19089.393.camel@localhost> <1164031013.8862.31.camel@frobisher.madeley.id.au> Message-ID: On 11/20/06, Davyd Madeley wrote: > They were $1,50 even, but too terrible for words.

Terrrible perhaps, but they came with a 3.5mm to 6.5mm (?) converter plug which saved me having to buy one (incidentally this sucks also, mine ended up disintegrating INSIDE my device, damaging some of its circuitry) also gmail has poor conversation support From davyd at madeley.id.au Tue Nov 21 18:59:02 2006 From: davyd at madeley.id.au (Davyd Madeley) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 18:59:02 +0800 Subject: [committee] [clubs] Budget Claims and O'Day Forms In-Reply-To: <20061121180841.d1bc0tdid2oo8wgw@webmail-1.ucs.uwa.edu.au> References: <20061121180841.d1bc0tdid2oo8wgw@webmail-1.ucs.uwa.edu.au> Message-ID: <1164106742.8862.48.camel@frobisher.madeley.id.au> On Tue, 2006-11-21 at 18:08 +0800, Geoff Hansen wrote: > Just a reminder that Budget claims for 2nd semester were due today. > However I will accept any further claims up until Friday (November > 24th). The packs are still available for download on the Guild website: We haven't had a committee meeting for a while and everyone was busy with exams, so I was just checking that this happened. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA From zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Tue Nov 21 19:44:14 2006 From: zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (David Adam) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 19:44:14 +0800 (WST) Subject: [committee] [clubs] Budget Claims and O'Day Forms In-Reply-To: <20061121180841.d1bc0tdid2oo8wgw@webmail-1.ucs.uwa.edu.au> References: <20061121180841.d1bc0tdid2oo8wgw@webmail-1.ucs.uwa.edu.au> Message-ID: On Tue, 21 Nov 2006, Geoff Hansen wrote: > Hi All! > > Time to submit your application forms for O'Day 07.
