Agenda

  • Discussion of how the committee is run, and how the Slack should be moderated.
  • SigInt Finances.
    • Payment from sponsors has been slow. They are likely sponsoring PWNed next year so payment will likely come through soon.
    • SIGint want to use some of the leftover money on hardware to do security research. They will keep the sponsorship money.
    • SIGint will still have the founder's feast. CompSoc will subsidize this.
    • The commitee needs to be better at responding to slack messages.
  • InfBall.
    • The school has offered to pay about £500 to support the event. The money should be spent mostly on staff tickets.
    • Neil has also suggested some staff to invite. Some additional staff has also been suggested by the committee.
    • Ticketing system has been made. Should be tested so tickets can be sold soon. Details should be finalized soon.
  • HTB.
    • Due to the occupation the AT booking has been cancelled. For a lot of reasons having the event there is not good. May be legal, sponsor and personal issues. May make attendants uncomfortable.
    • More people can be fit in the IF, so we will likely fit anyone who would have been in AT.
    • The occupiers have agreed to retreat to the upper floors. However this is too big of a risk, as it depends on personal whims of the occupiers.
    • Sponsor swag has arrived and shopping has been done.
    • CompSoc challenge has been decided.
    • Still some details about risk assessment and banners/ merch to sort out.
    • The organizers for next year have to be selected.
  • Strikes.
    • The occupiers wanted us to publish that we "negotiated" with them.
  • AGM
    • Will be lecture shout out for new committee members. Deadline is by Friday 4pm 6th March 2020.
  • CreateED
    • The event has been downsized by a lot.
    • CompSoc were initially "open to sponsoring", however this doesn't mean we are definitely sponsoring.
CompSoc ❤️ You!
