[committee] Committee Meeting: apologies & report

[Daniel J. Axtens]

Secretary, Committee:

My apologies for not making it to the meeting.

=Fresher Rep's report=
Nothing to report; have not talked to many freshers since the end of semester.

=O-day Marquee=
<captain type="obvious">Having a presence at O'day would be good.</captain>
Prod committee to action this.

=Polo Shirts=
Sharpening my web-fu to provide a web+email preorder system: people go
to web page, order a shirt, then it sends them an email asking them to
confirm. (Think mailing list subscription process, but with a polo
shirt as the end result, instead of an endless supply of email)
I expect this to be online by the end of the week.

=T-Shirts=
No progress on a clever design/slogan.
One suggestion is to eschew a slogan and just have a large stylised
logo on the back. Whilst not personally keen on this idea, I'm
interested in committee feedback.

=Fresher Guide=
This year's guide was fairly average, imo.
Things that might help (not exhaustive):

 - how to print
 - ucc's pptp server
 - how to connect to snap (not specifically ucc-related, but useful
for any fresher!)
 - update list of operating systems we run (I was majorly disappointed
when I first rocked up and realised that we didn't run any
non-mainstream os's on user machines)

I am willing to write/update some of these items.
