No, because your membership from last year retroactively paid for things like your account back to O'Day, so you need to renew for '07. > Additionally, I understand that at least one of the parrot hackers is > looking for a user account on a Tru64 box to do some porting work. Is > there any chance that the UCC can help this guy out? Well, we have one, and we have the dev licenses. This fits in with our promise of offering user accounts to help free software dev. As far as I'm concerned, we just need to nut out the details of how we give them accounts, and how we lock it down if required. --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 Thu Mar 1 09:06:36 2007 From: zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (David Adam) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 09:06:36 +0900 (WST) Subject: [committee] Two questions In-Reply-To: <20070228234534.GD10800@bridgewayconsulting.com.au> References: <093e048ed766a1fbfae6741b5c31649c@pinatubo> <20070228234534.GD10800@bridgewayconsulting.com.au> Message-ID: On Thu, 1 Mar 2007, Davyd Madeley wrote: > On Wed, Feb 28, 2007 at 09:37:08PM +0100, Peter Cooper wrote: > > Hi guys > > > > Just a quick question over my current membershi, bought late last > > year: is it running this year?

We're really bad at writing policy, so I would prefer if we just started giving out accounts. I was thinking they'd be local system accounts only, with boring usernames (dev001 or something), and people using them would still be required to agree to our Network Access policies, etc. Of course, if they wanted to join UCC, that would be even better (we take PayPal!), but obviously not everyone needs that kind of access. I guess if someone wanted access to more than one of our machines we'd ask them to buy a membership (e.g. Morwong and Manbo). The thought has just occurred that I really need to get committee approval on this, so maybe get the parrot guy to send me an e-mail and I'll let him know.

I still think Unisfa should buy its own computer. That, or get another Pam-like person to appear at Terracon and have someone Adrian-like win the auction. That said, I think Koha running in a VM, or the database of Koha running on one of the UCC machines, is a good idea.

A couple of weeks ago I set up a cronjob to mysqldump on mussel each night before we backup. So mightn't be doing 100% perfect locking, but should be OK given our low DB query rates.

I'm just throwing the idea out there at the moment, I haven't thought it fully through. I just thought that instead of having a "Unisfa Computer" we could just have one of the UCC computers in Unisfa (or even not bother and just use one in the corridor - but then you have to take the books out of the room to take them out, not so great) >> Just giving the idea out there to both clubs to talk it over. >> Anyone have any thoughts on this? > > Sounds like a reasonable plan all up. > KOHA is web-based, isn't it?

It doesn't matter where the thing is actually hosted, as long as there is a machine available which can access it.

Don't forget the AGM next Tuesday at 1, either. We're unlikely to get another chance to gather as a whole committee, and the way it's going I'm not going to be at the AGM (apparently the Faculty of Medicine doesn't believe in common lunch hour) so let me take this opportunity to thank everyone on committee for your hard work over the last twelve months. In particular, the other Exec members have been a great assistance to me and the club. There are plenty of people who aren't on committee who contribute to the club on a regular basis - wheel, door and coke members, and our active members - and without their assistance the committee would find it difficult to get anything done. Thanks to you too!

Clearly it's a three-seater but it's not extremely comfortable between the seats - there are wooden supports which really hurt if you try and lay across it. Also you don't really want to be seating more than 3 people on it for that reason. One of the cushions is dying a little bit...as you can tell, but otherwise it's in fine condition. If it is not claimed and picked up by this tuesday we will put it out on the verge and I can guarantee it won't last another day.

UCC takes computers donated to Computer Angels and installs Free software. 1. Students who are also Guild members may purchase a computer for a nominal fee 2. Any repair has a fixed charge even if this means changing the entire machine. 3. Students may purchase vouchers for a computer or repair at the Co-Op which are transferred into the UCC account. 4. Guild makes available a small ground floor office for parts storage and as a service workshop/delivery point. 5. A wheel-like group has access to the ground floor office. 6. People contact UCC for a service via IRC, email, or from a kiosk outside the service office (rather than coming up to UCC) 7. wheel-like group member arranges a mutually convienient time to meet and repair the computer. 8. Informal training meet-ups (common lunch hour?) to discuss how to use the computer might be possible at modest cost ($5 or something). Why the above points have been considered: >From 0. Computer Angels has a WA Charitable Collections license specifically for computer donations. Software can be installed in as little as 6 minutes (mostly unattended and after unattended media wiping of 20-40 minutes). Most corporate machines are fault free. The largest task is cleaning (especially keyboards) Some documentation may be appropriate to show how to clean the keyboard so people can clean/maintain their own machine. >From 1. With Guild no longer a compulsory campus fee, making this available only to guild members is promotes membership benefits and is also financially beneficial to UCC. Machines are esentially free (donated). Faulty gear goes straight out to recycling and UWA may still have a computer recycling skip in Eng. and Maintenance Services (do they?) >From 2. The point of the fixed service fee is a known cost of repair. Students may want to purchase a CDROM burner or USB stick for backups. Alternatively, Some campus storage may be appropriate to maintain off-machine backups with an easy remote backup utility. >From 3. People can purchase a voucher at any time from Co-Op bookshop and redeem them with computer under arm. Most repairs are hardware failures. >From 4. The idea of a ground floor space is accessibility, security of storage (less open than UCC clubroom), less intimidating (mainly of climbing stairs with machine) and some privacy of UCC for members rather than a thoroughfare. >From 5. The choice of people with wheel-like access relies on people who can resist borrowing stuff (even temporarily). Parts need to be accessible when they are needed. >From 6. Support and contact can be in many forms but in all cases a separate channel to UCC mailing lists, irc, etc. >From 7. This will only work if there are people willing to do the support. Repairs have been infrequent in our experience and usually catastrophic failure involving HD replacement or whole machine if the m/b or psu fails, >From 8. At Computer Angels we didn't address tertiary students very much but we had some contact that where students admitted they had no clue about their computer. Just as Computer Angels were addressing computer literacy, it is important for any tertiary student to have a reasonable working knowledge of computers. Rather than formalised training, casual meet-ups for a group to compare experiences or discuss computer difficulties would be a less rigid and time consuming chance to improve literacy.

Co-op may be a bad idea since they aren't affiliated with the guild, and _are_ a nation-wide chain. Possibly the guild student centre might be better. > 4. Guild makes available a small ground floor office for parts storage > and as a service workshop/delivery point. Yep. As a temporary measure we may be able do without this to start with - it may take a while to negotiate something acceptable out of the guild.
