hearing about events after they occur
discussion about who is on apo@mit.edu
heat sense paper is awesome
Pledge meetings - only one so far

scheduling conflicts given as reason, but that isn't going to

suggestions for either having two meetings or having a meeting and
sending out a summary

must go)
move ugly brown chair out of the way
maybe people would use the desks if they had nice chairs
sewing machine has been ordered, but it has not shipped
Historian:
pictures up for the Hunger Walk
President:
bleeding shirts
unclear what is going on
amount of ink may have been a factor as shirt that bled was rage
warehouse
talking to alexmv, set up an alumni database
zev demoed it for those present
suggestions/concerns for database:
does it show other info? (pledge class, namesake)
when you click on some checkboxes on the right and then press
filter, it filters correctly, but then it rechecks all the boxes, so you
lose what you were filtering
search for alums in a specific location (e.g. nationals is in
kentucky, do we have alumni there?)
two-way list syncing, i.e. updating site updates mailing lists
what should be done with pledges who were never elevated and are
no longer students
suggestions that they should be removed expect in special
cases
alumni may not want their information public (should we have
people update their information?)
more sorting criteria may be useful (e.g. living group, course)
istab meeting:
talked about the textbook website
is&t talked about what they were going to have
textbook info in data warehouse, public apis to pull info
impression is that it is actually going to happen
PFTGOTO

in ye olden days - reception in the past for graduating seniors and their
