Other things discussed -
Possible board game night
GRACS budget
We need to work out our order with Mrs Johnson's before the Fall semester starts.
Focus on GAD
We want to resurrect regular meetings with Bruce and Patti if we feel they're needed.
Data: 11/24/2015
Proposal for GAD next term: Two talks on how to get hired.
One for industry positions
One for academic positions (Etienne?)
Maybe no meeting during finals week.
GSA is having a campus carry meeting. It has been distributed through other means.
Jessica (1st year) is setting up a bull session style GAD for this next week or so. Arthur will make sure there is cookies and coffee or something like that. Jessica will set the time. Focus is adviser picking.
Data: 11/10/2015
Chad has dropped out and cannot do GAD. What is the fail over? (Arthur)
Unless someone can take this on (not Arthur or John) we should plan to try again at the first meeting of Jan with new people and see what we can do for the spring.
Paperwork is still in process with Frost bank. But we should be able to write checks now. Also we have a specific account manager so there will be less stupid for the next update. (John via Arthur)
Write check for the fussball table parts. Someone volunteer.
Board game night: (Arthur)
I let it slide.
Scheduling board game night: Thurs the 18th. Thoughts?
Probably pizza. Maybe falafel and stuff from Kismet. Thoughts?
Tea has been ordered (Arthur)
Comm: (Arthur)
Hootsuite is pretty useless for us. No real email support. It's designed more for tracking activity than sending output.
Maybe see if we can get post by email working on FB. Or something similar. Then we could just send one email to the list and FB and call it good.
Any information on new Wiki setup? No update (John via Arthur)
GSA Update: (Kim via Arthur)
Professional development - they are working on area specific research statement workshops and want to know of anyone who could help from natural sciences. Can we think of any professors who might want to help? Lorenzo? CS is quite different from other areas within CNS though.
Possible interdepartmental social event - any interest from CS in such a thing?
Data: 10/27/2015
Post mortem on the computer game night. (Ahmet)
Pizza was fine.
Not many people played much games.
Maybe in the future we should setup an online community. A steam group?
Next event:
Maybe not have signups.
Borrow some games for the event.
UTGRAD moderation:
Non-interfering work interesting to UT grads.
No outside solicitations other that. If it seems like a real employer send to ODA.
Free food or event notification should be clearly marked and authorized immediately.
John is going to try to fix the issue with changing the officers in the bank.
GSA only thing was professional dev.
There will probably not be a grad student tuition increase.
There is a docuwiki. We will see what to do. The port would be fairly easy.
Comm:
Kill: Web page, Twitter
Look at hootsuite for federating UTGRAD and FB. (Arthur)
GAD needs to be assigned.
Date: 10/13/2015
Check book found
Budget finalized - John will send to Patti for approval
Need to update authorized signatories
Write check to Matteo for foosball repairs
Email moderation - sign in to UTLists with GRACS and approve email
IBM research email - will show up on the CS calendar etc so we don’t need to forward it
GRACS wiki - drupal instead of wiki? If no, move to school level atlassian wiki?
HornsLink - Arthur is primary contact - roster cleaned up
Kim is setting up with GSA - first meeting got cancelled, but Kim will go to next meeting
TA drafting letter - Roshan will bring it up in SAB meeting, perhaps undergrads should draft another letter.
Facebook Group - change name and invite grad students to join
UT Law - forward email to grad students and ask for volunteers? -Pulkit
Tweeting for tea time - Keenan
Date: 09/29/2015
Positions decided:
Chair - Arthur
Treasurer - John
Secratary - Pulkit
John will talk to Patti Spencer about GRACS budget.
Pulkit will add new/returning GRACS members as admins on the Facebook page.
Pulkit will re-register GRACS as a student organization on HornsLink.
We need to figure out what’s happening with the golden turtle.
Roshan will share the GSA meeting details with Kim, and Arthur will follow-up with her to confirm if she can attend.
We planned a rough outline of events for the semester - Ahmet will send an initial email to gather interest for a
LAN party, and Arthur will plan a board game night for November-end.
Arthur will follow up with Chad for GAD - aim of having at least 1 this semester.
Meeting time changed to 4.15-5.15 every alternate Tuesday.
John will talk to Frost bank about service fee.
We talked about the sales tax exemption form for any purchases, and the need to get the budget for an event approved in advance.

Review of GRACS events. Discuss budget and social events for the semester: We thought of a video game night for mid Feb (Feb 10 or Feb 17). We can serve Pizza. 10 pizza and drink would cost around 120. We need a room with video projector and a game console. Maybe we can reserve a room in the new Student activity center. Need to make sure we can take food there. About food, Nathan suggested that we can go with other options for food like Chinese, etc.
