The budget for this semester is as follows o $100 for Game Night food and decorations – of which $65 has already been spent o $150 for the game library – of which $149.89 has already been spent o $50 for other events o $225 for technology – of which $102.94 has already been spent o $25 for kitchen supplies o $25 for miscellaneous items - Our new server has arrived and will be installed soon. - The bean bag chair in the lab – Ben and Josh argued in favor of getting rid of it or moving it to another location as it is disruptive during events such as tech seminars. Marc argued in favor of leaving it where it is as the lab is more frequently used as a lounge or study area, where the bean bag is a nice place to sit. o We have decided to table (chair) the discussion for now – after the next floor meeting, we will gather a few volunteers (especially people who have a stake in the arrangement of the lab) to rearrange furniture and see if we can come to an agreeable situation. - October Game Night will be on the 28th – check your emails for the official themes - Tech seminar will be on the 21st from 2-3 PM in the CIF lab – the theme will be development tips and tricks (including tips for things students get with their Rochester.edu account) o Suggested ideas for future tech seminars are debugging and Game Maker - Marc will be speaking with ResLife in-person to see what is happening with our empty room
