Changes
→Infrastructure upgrades needed
For departments with surplus property donations, the [http://www.co.vt.edu/Forms/inventory_update_form.pdf VT Inventory Update Form] must be completed in order to officially transfer items to VTLUUG through the ECE department. The new location of the items can be marked as 432 [[gp:Whittemore Hall| Whittemore Hall]].
We have a few options for obtaining funding:* [[gp:Students Engineering Council|SEC]] - gives money to engineering design organizations. Requires meeting attendance and E-week participation. * [[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 items we are seeking upgrades needed ===
* Rackmount servers, especially those which support virtualization
* Hard drives (RAID boxes especially)* [[w:Raspberry Pi|Raspberry Pis]] (for a [[VTLUUG:Beowulf Cluster | Beowulf Cluster]]?)home directories and additional distros for the mirror* [[Office space]]** When In the future, we get an officemay 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 use some [[w:VT100 | hardware terminals]] because GUIs are unnecessarybe helped by the acquisition of a vt.edu subdomain such as luug.vt.edu.
=== Items for various projects planned ===
This a list of things we want the [[gp:Student Budget Board|Student Budget Board]] or [[gp:RSO Budget Board|RSO Budget Board]] to fund:
* [[Southeast Linux Fest]]
* Installfests[[Conleycon]]* [[Installfest]]
** Food
** Install server
* [[OpenStreetMap]] day (if that's still around)
* USENIX Security Symposium
