What We Went Over:

  • List of Services and Hardware
    • Currently no ACM servers, as firewalls will need to be configured again by end of semester (Gabe, Ian, and Roman)
    • ACM will be in compliance with new NDSU server rules (after ACM right computer is fixed and firewalls are fixed)
    • Current plans with ACM Right computer is that it will be wiped. If you have any data on the computer you wish to save, contact the board
  • Byte-le Development Team
    • Currently, the board will wait on adding new members to the Byte-le Development Team
  • Digital Debit Board Ideas
    • We have a Square Reader to use in the ACM room, and we will look into the idea of allowing cards to add money to the debit board next semester
  • Digital Library Ideas
    • Current Ideas for Digital Library include: library committee (led by Julia/Caesar), database project, monitor and keyboard to check-in/out, etc.
  • SIG-Com.Sci. Ideas
    • Different names should be explored for this idea: new name currently: SIG-Workshop
    • Idea of digital forms for signing up to hold a meeting in SIG-Workshop
    • Will need to find times during fall semester
  • ACM Merch Store Ideas
    • Idea of shirts, jackets, etc.
    • Will consider going with same company as previous ACM shirt or printer Bison Robotics uses
    • Due to logo changes, we will not be able to use the traditional diamond ACM logo unless it specifies it is an ACM chapter
  • Byte-le Advertising Ideas
    • Idea of talking to Mechmania to see if they would like to participate in Byte-le
    • Focus on advertisement mainly in fall

    • Idea to rename committee to Outreach Committee to reflect new goal of committee
  • ACM Hours During Finals Week
    • No official ACM room hours during finals week, good luck, have fun!
  • Github & Intellij in CSCI Classes
    • There has been talk in the department of teaching Github and IntelliJ, but they may not have the time.
    • Idea of holding a workshop on learning Github and IntelliJ and talking to department to inform students of this workshop to help begin adding them to the curriculum
    • Idea of also talking to department to get Github desktop onto lab computers, as well as having students make school accounts on Github (Github Classroom is also an option)
    • Overall, we believe that we should push Github into the curriculum to better help prepare students in the department
