Funding

Infrastructure upgrades needed
* [[gp:Student Budget Board|Student Budget Board]] - gives money for event hosting and possibly conference travel via reimbursement.
* ECE department - have obtained surplus servers in the past this way. Can also occasionally get cables, etc if we ask nicely. Probably won't directly fund VTLUUG.
* Corporate sponsorship - have done this with O'Reilly, Fedora, Facebook, etc in the past for food and prizes at meetings/tech talks/installfests.
=== Infrastructure upgrades needed ===
* Rackmount servers, especially those which support virtualization
* Hard drives (RAID boxes especially) for home directories and additional distros for the mirror
* [[w:Raspberry Pi|Raspberry Pis]] (for a [[VTLUUG:Beowulf Cluster | Beowulf Cluster]]?)
* [[Office space]]
** When we get an office, we could use some [[w:VT100 | hardware terminals]] because GUIs are unnecessary
In the future, we may also need departments to donate rack space with IPv4 address allocations, as the building we currently use has almost run out of spare IP addresses. This could be helped by the acquisition of a vt.edu subdomain such as luug.vt.edu.
** Hard drives
* [[OpenStreetMap]] day (if that's still around)
* USENIX Security Symposium
