Current Members
Ongoing Areas of Concern
Server Room (no longer new, still does not have a page of its own) Phone Infrastructure (this is just as important as the rest of our infrastructure, if not more!)
Budgeted Expenses
(Your actual expense budget goes here, along with explanatory notes, for example notes indicating which months expenses are expected to happen in,.)
- $575 every February for new UPS batteries
UPS batteries get used up faster than expected.
Nonrecurring expenses
(This is where one time expenses would go. Yearly or more often go above.)
Cabling expenses
We regularly need supplies to fuel our ongoing cabling parties.
- We've had good luck with the Sewell 1000-ft boxes of cat5e, and they're available in all the colors of the rainbow.
- Keystone jacks are necessary for in-wall (or on-wall).
- D-rings keep our cables from falling on the ground. Historically, we've just bought locally, but when we get low we should buy online.
Related Items
(This is for notes that indicate expenses that affect your committee but are actually classified under a different committee.)
Are these still needed?
- line identifier (better than our current one, which doesn't work): $50(?)
- special punch-down head for phone blocks: $5-8 * YES, LOOK ABOE * -Jared
Meetings
We meet weekly at 2:00 pm on Saturday in the Meeting Room. Meetings are open, but participation is generally limited to members of the Technocrats. If you're interested in joining, the best way would be to listen in on the meetings and join either server build or tech support.
