CSSS Meeting Minutes Wednesday, November 30, 2005; 5:00pm @ CSSS Office Roll Call: Rachel, Andrew T., Derrick, Chris, Tristan, Jamie, Andrew R., Mark L., Frank, Peter, Charles
1.0 Joint MIS IT Night
Thursday or Friday evening in March, 5-9pm
probably a Thursday in the first or second week of March
consists of: presentations, dinner, networking game, open networking
presentations -> CS/MIS professor talks about an issue, company delegates discuss how they address this
networking game -> break the ice
open networking -> also resume collecting? maybe at the discretion of company delegates
last year was partially sponsored by Accenture/Business Objects, and partially subsidised by the Commerce Undergraduate Society
will be held at the David Lam Forum unless we find a better place
last year 50-60 participants, 10-20 of which were company delegates and alumni
this year’s theme -> data management
costs mostly coming from the food
business-formal attire
if the idea of networking seems to intimidating the most CSers, refrain from advertising it as such
2.0 Wine and Cheese Post Mortem
low turn out, ~30
went pretty well, good food, good wine, good music
12-13 bottles of wine consumed
random draw needs to be done (Chris)
3.0 Career Fair
10 companies said they’d come
4 have paid
Engineering Physics and IEEE combined have only one company

5.0 Space Committee
we may be able to get lab 005 if no one else takes it
might be secure enough to house the projector
6.0 Class Act Glass Thing
we’re supposed to deal with it
we’ve been told don’t repair it, don’t throw it out, but store it
