I intend my door and coke memberships to cease then as well. I am resigning because I have lost confidence in the current club president. The following sequence of events precipitated this loss of confidence: - [DAA], [ASH] and I accidentally left ourselves logged on during yesterday's cleanup. - [BOB] came in tonight and impersonated the logged in users, dispensed drinks using their credit and taunted them on IRC, in direct contravention of the UCC Network Account Guidelines and the UCC Wheel Group Ethical Guidelines. - When called out on this, [BOB]'s response was, and I quote: "Consider that the wakeup call :-)" Whilst we (obviously) should log out, [BOB]'s behaviour is improper, unethical, and quite possibly criminal. It is unacceptable for any member of committee, and especially so for our president. I will not be part of the leadership committee whose president believes this to be appropriate. I am deeply disappointed that it has come to this, and I hope that this disgraceful behaviour is never repeated. I continue to be a wheel member, as well as a club member.

Message-ID: <000001ccf42f$bf7025e0$3e5071a0$@cassa.org.au> Hello UCC Committee! My name is Andrew and I am currently representing CASSA in regards to ECU's internet service. At the present time, ECU does not offer Open Unfiltered internet access to its student body, which as you can probably guess, causes CASSA and all of ECU's students major problems. We will be engaging with ECU on this matter and are concerned that as a result our current hosting arrangement with ECU may be unsustainable in the future. As such we would like to request some Rackspace (2RU), Internet access, a public IP address and Power somewhere within UCC's network so that we may move all of our currently hosted web services off the ECU Campus (Web server and IRC server).

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your prompt response, In regards to timeframe, we would be looking at moving the server within 2-4 weeks if possible and in terms of the server staying, conservatively I will initially say 5-7 months. Realistically we want this issue resolved as soon as possible, but unfortunately that is not up to us. I will keep UCC informed of all major developments, particularly if it will affect UCC providing us space to host our server/ In regards to hardware, we currently do not have a rack server and are using a desktop server, however we have a few member who have some old hardware they are willing to donate, and at the earliest possible time I will inform you of what the hardware moving into your space will be. As discussed on IRC there are other things relating to this arrangement that need to be discussed, and I will keep you informed of anything relating to this matter. At this stage our committee is going to have a impromptu meeting regarding these issues, so the situation on my end may change at that time. I was hoping to get a response from UCC on whether this was possible, and I am glad that we have the option to do so. I will have some more concrete information for you by next Saturday as our AGM is on Friday.

Dear Madam, ? Re: CONCERNS REGARDING INTERNET SERVICES AT ECU ? Greetings and congratulations on your new position. ? On behalf of the Computer and Security Student Association (CASSA), the official student association of the School of Computer and Security Science, I would like to petition for unrestricted, unfiltered internet access availability at ECU. ?With respect, we believe that the current level of service provided to students is deplorable and in need of severe reform. ? The current implementation, of which we are sure you are aware, involves a restrictive firewall, mandatory use of a web proxy server as a result only the web can be accessed, with the wider internet rendered inaccessible. Futhermore, the web access that is available is subject to draconian censorship measures via the ContentKeeper system. The procedures provided to have content unblocked are available but are not acted on in any way, as a consequence valuable learning resources are kept out of reach. While we understand the need for auditing for liability purposes, the current system is a severe overreaction to the situation at hand. ? In addition, we feel that the quality of ECU's current wireless infrastructure has not kept pace with the rapid adoption of technology by the student body; wireless signal on campus is not to be counted on, even in classrooms, especially in those classes where a high proportion of students have laptops and expect to be able to access the network (as of 2012, this is most classes). ? This is problematic for any number of reasons, many of them with a severe impact on the student body: ? Firewall - port restrictions: It is not possible for students to easily SSH to their own external servers for administrative tasks - almost hypocritical given that instruction and training in such is offered by the School; 2) ? ? ?Severe conflicts with certain private SVN configurations - students hosting final year projects on their own hosting accounts, for instance, have found it impossible to save changes to their repositories from behind the ECU firewall; 3) ? ? ?Game design and programming students cannot access Xbox Live (a game publishing and testing platform) from behind the firewall to see what their global peers have done, nor to even deploy their own games to Xbox 360 consoles for testing purposes (even if the development machine and console are in the same room, an Xbox Live handshake is required). 4) ? ? ?In a university that teaches computer science it is shameful that the university would take the stance that the only value provided by the Internet is web access. ? ContentKeeper: 1) ? ? ?Numerous web resources relating to hacking and computer security are blocked - this prevents research and study of security-related topics for a plurality of our membership; 2) ? ? ?Innocuous, widely-used services such as TwitPic have their images blocked, severely limiting the ability of ECU students to take part in global conversations; 3) ? ? ?Highly-respected technical news and review sites such as Anandtech have their images blocked, restricting the ability for students to gather technical information 4) ? ? ?In the last 4 years, we have yet to see an unblock request actioned. 5) ? ? ?There is no feedback system in place to notify a requester of the outcome of any requests for content to be unblocked. ? In a University it is necessary for many different and sometimes objectionable points to be discussed. Information that is not illegal to access but might otherwise be objectionable or offensive to some shouldn?t be removed from valid discussion or scrutiny within a academic context based on the rule sets of a content filtering system. ? Wireless: Wireless coverage in several buildings is unreliable to the point of being virtually non-existant ? Due in no small part to the issues herein, students have as of the last twelve months seen no other alternative but to spend their own money on 3G/4G connections or to tether their phones to their computers. As a result students in a school of computer science are abandoning the use of ECU computing and Internet facilities in favour of their own resources to fulfil their basic coursework and learning needs. What should be a needless expense when studying at a well-respected tertiary institution, is a heavy burden for students already struggling to cope financially. It is also embarrassing for us as ECU students to have to explain our Internet situation to visiting students from other institutions. ? While we can appreciate the university's desire to limit liability, we feel that the current approach to Internet security is both excessive and flawed. ?No other university's Internet policy is as restrictive or as draconian as that implemented by ECU, and it is nonetheless ineffective - a security blanket, nothing more. ?Legitimate sites are blocked without recourse and yet questionable sites remain (ContentKeeper is particularly bad at screening non-English content). ? We would like to reiterate as a key point, that ECU is the only University in Australia & New Zealand that does not provide access to the full Internet without port blocking to their students. ? In view of the restrictions placed on students, the damage to our national reputation, and the questionable efficacy of the measures in question, we recommend and request: ? 1) ? ? ?Firewall rules be modified to allow full outgoing access to the resources that the Internet provides. 2) ? ? ?Web content filtering be reviewed with respect to the content blocked, the strategies and processes employed for removal of blocked content and the consideration of the wealth of educational material blocked by the ContentKeeper system. 3) ? ? ?Wireless infrastructure on both campuses be upgraded to fit the growing needs of the student body. ? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at president at cassa.org.au - we realise that these are significant requests, and would welcome a constructive dialogue with you if at all possible. ?

Since leaving ECU, I've worked as an IT Manager at The University of Western Australia, including serving on their Technical Advisory Group, and now at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver as a Senior Systems Architect, however, to be clear, I write this as an Alumni of ECU. I have been made aware by a number of current students that ECU now heavily restricts Internet access in terms of content, and I'm don't mean adult material. I hear your students can't even access some IT news sites because they contain "hacking" resources? And that some social media services are also blocked, as well as blocks on outbound traffic such as SSH. Blocking access to the internet discourages students from spending time on campus, which decreases their experience of student life. Providing them with restrictive Internet access says ECU doesn't think they're responsible adults, it says ECU doesn't value what they want out of their University experience. I would even go as far as to say it could increase the longevity of repressive overseas regimes by keeping the blinders on their students while overseas at ECU. Many times in IT, people get tunnel vision - they do things because things have always been done this way. Internet access is now as common as telephone access, this isn't something ECU is providing out of the kindness of their heart - and students expect something better than they get at home - not something far worse. I understand some students just bring 3G wireless dongles/use iPhone tethering for their laptops. While this solves their problem, it doesn't really provide a great experience for them. In my time at UWA I did a lot of work on reforming student Internet access, including access on campus and student housing - I fully understand the historic reasoning for restricting Internet access in Australia (I know costs in the early 2000s were very high, and there were few protections against malicious web-sites installing viruses), but they're not there any more. I suggest a look at what UWA provides might be of interest - http://www.is.uwa.edu.au/it-help/access/student-internet-network/quota-policy - UBC doesn't have such a page, as our access is unrestricted. I understand you have already been in correspondence with members of the Computer and Security Science Association, but that you stand by the current proxied/whitelist arrangement for Internet access at ECU, where everything that is not expressly allowed is blocked. I applaud your engagement with the student body at ECU, however I urge your department to consider the competitive and social implications of providing an Internet access environment more suited to a high school, inside a tertiary educational institution. Having been made aware of how ECU has failed to address changes in technology and how it impacts the student experience, at this point I couldn't recommend anyone study Computer Science (or Security) at ECU. Thank you for consideration of the need for change. cc: Kerry Cox, Vice Chancellor A/P Ken Fowle, Head of School, Computer and Security Science ECU Computer and Security Student Association From bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Mon Feb 27 12:45:35 2012 From: bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (Bob Adamson) Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:45:35 +0800 (WST) Subject: [committee] Clubroom Couch Message-ID: It appears that the futon couch in the clubroom is about half an hour away from completely snapping.
