=Meeting Notes=
==Hack Day==
===Thoughts on the last one===
* Not enough people to justify having a whole lab
* For now we will be holding it in the Linux Club which has the added benefit of allowing food and drink
* If the situation changes in the future (we hope it will), we will move somewhere bigger.
===Advertising===
* Things to do in the future
** Flyers
*** Ask the student council if we can get these printed at zero cost (Phil)
*** Ask David if he can print them for us
*** Ask Dave Manley if we can use his logo for them
** Put an announcement on My.Seneca (Vanessa)
** Put an announcement on the TVs around the school (Vanessa)
** Send an e-mail to all the CS profs asking them to tell their students
** Talk with non-CS profs about informing their students (GAS, arts, etc)
** Make a point of telling DPS909 students that we are feeding them to do their homework
===Future Events===
* We'd like to invite non-CS students as well. To do things like Bug Triage, Litmus, etc.
* People without a specific project could do those on well if they want to
* We will be having Super Fun Hack Day every Tuesday for the rest of the semester (not including exam week)
===End of Semester Party===
* December 15, 2006
* Starts after BSD exams are over (someone update this with the time please)
* Ends around 6
* At the Hive
** See if it's available (Phil)
* Pop/chips/crackers will be provided
** First 2 cans are free, then $.50 each
* We want to play video games on the TVs
** Can we hook up 1 system to each TV? (Phil)
* No alcohol at this event
==Wiki Page==
* The wiki page has not been updated nearly enough
* Phil is in charge of updating the main page
* Ben will be posting meeting notes
==Web Stuff==
* Contact Mozilla about obtaining an @mozilla.org address (Liz)
** We still need to decide exactly what we want it to be
* Contact Mozilla about getting webspace from them (Liz)
** Need to decide what the subdomain would be
==Event Ideas==
* We would like to start helping out with Internationalization
** Brian Perry is involved with these. We would like to speak with him more about it
** We plan to invite him to a meeting to tell us what exactly he does and how we can help (Tom)
* Test Days/Bug Triage Days
* "Get to know us" day at the start of the semester
==Future Meetings==
* Open to everybody
** Advertise them on the website and wiki, maybe an optional mail reminder
* Ben: See if Wedneday meetings will work
** Update: Yes, Wednesdays at 6:30 are fine - [[User:Bhearsum|bhearsum]]
* Meetings for the rest of the semester will be help at 6:30pm on Wednesdays in the Linux Club
* Meeting notes will be posted online from now on (Ben)
* Anyone with a gmail account should send Ben their e-mail address to receive Google Calendar events.
** Should there be a Club Moz calendar?
==Firefox Party Post-Mortum Discussion==
===The Good===
* It turned out very well despite lack of proper planning
* Much was learned
===The Bad===
* No plates, napkins, serving trays
* No water, no non-junk food
* It was tough to get people to come upstairs to the party
** The security guard wasn't nice
** People couldn't bring up their alcohol
* Giveaways were not stored in a secure place. People grabbed them up without permission
===The Future
* Inform any non-club people (Hive staff, security, etc) what they should be telling people
** IE. Not "You can't go upstairs"
* Make a party checklist (Phil)
** Food/drink required
** Things that will be given away
** Things we need access too
** Maybe make it a form that we fill out before-hand so we don't forget anything
* Make sure we request everything we want in advance, specifically with SSF
==Long Term Ideas==
* Maybe change from the "Mozilla" club to the "Open Source" club
==Misc.==
* Get people started on small Mozilla projects to get them involved with the community
* Get people within the community (former DPS909 students probably) to help out and mentor new people
* We still have a lot of food and drink leftover from the Firefox party. We decided to store it in lockers until we use it up
