This page contains information, plans, and results of club budget requests and purchases for the 2024-2025 school year.
Funding
VTLUUG is currently eligible for:
- $1,500 from the SBB for the year
We could in the future be eligible for:
- $500 a semester, more with justification
- if we become a CS Affiliated Org. This is theoretically possibly doable *right now*, during the Fall '24 semester. Theoretically.
- $??? from the SEC
- if we jump through all the required hoops. these seemingly are:
- attendance to SEC ~3 meetings a semester
- >=3 hours of community service via the SEC in a *previous* semester
- signing up for some stuff
- if we jump through all the required hoops. these seemingly are:
Proposed Purchases
For each of the following, use this format.
- $PRICE <item name> (<person interested in buying it>)
- reason for proposed purchase
- link to a store page or quote with the price
these are just ideas, don't feel shy about putting something with a wacky price tag down
- $716 8x14TB SAS Renewed HDDs (rsk)
- we can use these to turn cyberdelia into a massive NAS (~84TB with RAIDZ2 and a minimal root filesystem), which can then be used to serve public package mirrors (e.g. all ~5TB of Debian mirrors) and provide general storage for members
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D5SP2487
- $165.75 300 stickers (rsk)
- assuming we can't print these at The Source, stickers are good to both give out at gobblerfest (advertising!) and haphazardly place on personal computing equipment. 300 should be enough to last us a while -- we should use HokieTux with the main website URL underneath.
- https://deathbystickers.com/products/white-vinyl-stickers-builder?variant=41114416611371
- $150 three AMD poweredges, 2x(r815 48c 128G), 1x(r715 12c 64GB) (rsk)
- this seems like a wildly good deal. no caddies, but that can be dealt with, the bigger issue could be that they aren't tested past the BIOS. all the cores would be great if we wanted to start giving away VMs on a larger scale.

- $26.00 server protector (ppitzer)
- We need to protect our servers from any errant passers-by to the server room. Ms. Miku has proven herself particularly adept at this task for VTARA, and I have confidence she will do the same for VTLUUG.
