Attendees:  Rob Capra, Mir Farooq Ali, Nathan Conklin, Tracy Lewis, Pankaj Poddar, Ragavan Srinivasan, Kimberly Woods

 

Next Meeting:  Monday, September 11th at 2:30 with Drs. Kafura and Schuetz

 

Fall Semester Meeting Schedule:  Every other Monday at 4:00 PM starting September 18th.

 

Next Meeting Agenda:

We will discuss the list of concerns that were brought to the GPC.  This list will be given to Dr. Kafura and Dr. Schuetz.

 

Extra Computer:

   Dr. Shaffer has donated a computer for group project work in 655.  Gay will not have time to clone this computer (support it).   Farooq will send an email to Gay (cc'ed to Dr. Shaffer) making the request that this machine be set up.  If we are unable to get support for this machine, we will bring it up with Dr. Kafura at our next meeting.

 

Space Assignments:

   All applicants will be getting space.  Everyone who applied for research space, except for one student, will get space in 565 McBryde.   The one student will be on a waiting list to get space in Brodie.  Everyone who applied for lockers will receive a locker.  All but 7 applicants will get locker space in the 6th floor mail room.  The remaining 7 applicants are on a waiting list to get a locker on the first floor.

 

New Student Representative:

Pankaj will lead the process of electing a new student representative.  This process is described in the constitution.

 

NOVA Representative:

 A fellow NOVA student has greatly expressed interest in representation on the council.  This topic was discussed earlier in the summer.   Rob will lead discussions with NOVA students.  Tracy will forward Rob the student's original mail.  The goal is to offer the NOVA students a chance to have a council in NOVA.  The two councils would coordinate issues through assigned liaisons.   We want this to be an opportunity to have a stronger representation of NOVA students.

 

Separation of listservs:

Because of administrative overhead and the need to easily provide information to all graduate students, we felt that it was unnecessary

to separate the NOVA listserv from students@csgrad. 

Faculty Meeting:

The faculty meeting is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. in McB 655.   Nathan will coordinate with Kim regarding the introduction of relations that have been established with RedHat.

 

McB 133 Security:

Sandy has issued a request to handle security of McB 133.   Dr.  Schuetz will place responsibility to the last GTAs to make sure that the doors are closed.  All doors will need to be closed when no one is in the offices.

 

Dues:

Pankaj will lead the collection of dues.  He will talk with Sharon to see what kind of help the office can provide in the collection of dues.

 

Past Events:

Gradlab cleanup was a success, so was the first seminar of the Faculty Seminar Series.

 

Computing Problems:

Farooq will bring up problems in the next CRC meeting.  He will generate a list of known problems that the Grad Council wants to address.
