Buying Parts for Good Fets

Adam is requesting $160 to sponsor his senior design project as part of redesigning the Blactops provided to CS2230. The vote passed unanimously.

New Security Requirements

We’ve communicated with OIT regarding our servers and the Service Disruption. alu had to hand over proof to Chris Rand that no one attempted to access Club servers. This involved no extensive or invasive information being released.

We will be required to add Microsoft Defender for Linux to all our servers at some point. The timeline for this process is currently undefined.
