Forum

Distributed Data Center

We need to decide if we should put the distributed data center project in our server room. Jared is skeptical about storing it. Fulton and Kyle are fine with it. Forum as a whole is okay with storing it for the next year (with option of extension). The directors will contact the researcher soon.

Pi Day

Alan wanted someone to talk about what COSI will do for Pi Day. The event is next Wednesday from 4pm to 5pm. We don’t seem to have anyone who will be able to attend.

Faculty Involvement

Fulton and Ben would like more faculty to become involved in the labs. They want to draft an email to the faculty. The labs feel it would be a pretty good idea. Prof. Liu appears to be interesting in participating more in the labs (i.e. lightning talks).
