[committee] 6 hour warning: This Week's Committee Meeting Agenda

[Ash Tyndall]

There are periods, frequently on weekends/early mornings/late nights, when I
door, where there are no winadmins/wheel members in the room.

The primary problem ATM, as you may be aware, is Steam. To be able to
connect *at all* you must Run as Administrator AFAIK. Then there is the
myriaid of circumstances where Steam will need admin credentials to install
things, write to annoying registry locations etc. This means that winadmins
are in a fairly high demand.

There could also be the issue of people leaving Steam open on their account,
then switching out (if that is indeed possible), preventing anyone else from
using Steam without a winadmin killing the other Steam process or the
computer being restarted.

The problem of computers also being locked and forgotten by people can be
solved without an abrupt power cycle if a winadmin is present.

Then there is task of ensuring that the Windows computers have the latest
security patches, antivirus updates, etc.

This, coupled with the fact that I am and will continue to be a very active
door member means that it would benefit the club if I was on winadmin.
