      1. New Project - Augmented Ebay
        1. Karan: Ebay Sellers do not have a tool to put up multiple pictures and videos on their website. You have to pay ebay. Ebay does not provide a rich multimedia listing. It will provide a mobile user with an interface so that he can upload more than one video/picture along with files into his ebay listing. It will be in a rich HTML format. This will be developed using Sencia and PhoneGap. I will be using my own server space...to host the database where people can host everything.  
          1. Sal: That 40 hour estimate seems low. 100 hours sounds right...maybe an underestimate.
            1. Karan: I equated the number of hours in classes.
              1. Alex: Right now it's unknown whether it's 40 or 100 hours. 
                1. Sal: we'll pass this as a draft; we're in a preliminary state that's ironing out the scope. Then we'll have it as an official project. We can reserve a room and publicize.
            1. Karan: We'll have a free and pro version. Free is unlimited for 12 pictures. One webpage...will be visable and compiled to phone technologies. 
              1. Nate: You seem to be shooting a little high but I've seen [your work]...so I believe you. Haha!
          2. Sal: Where do we plan to go after you pass it as a draft?
            1. Karan: We have already started developing it.
              1. Sal: We can put up flyers and get feedback; we can help build up your team. Once you have the scope set then we can pass it as an official project.
        2. Karan: We need to make the spending plan as well as the $10,000 [reward]. Right now, I want to enter the market for software, recruit revenue for hardware then branch out with [a company]. Someone in the audience stole my idea...they are my competition. 
        3. Karan: $90 draft protection
        4. Movement - [Sal/Ariana] Move to project as a draft - [PASSED]

      2. IBM Mainframe Competition.
        1. Nate: As a lot of people know, I work for IBM. They are holding a competition for mainframes; basically you write software for a cluster of 96 mainframes remotely. Free entry; $35,000 worth of prizes. It's a [different programming aspect which] I don't find difficult. If you want to participate, you can add it as a bullet...on your resume.
        2. Nate: Mainframes are [NOT] dead. Competition is around the Spring. There are prizes to be had. Requires code for performance over interface; it's a cluster of a lot of power servers running an application as fast as possible. Please contact chair@csulb.acm.org; I"m the one forming the team.

            1. Nate: This is mainframe. This is new. 
          2. Andrew: Is there documentation?

              1. Andrew: But they're not a software company.
                1. Nate: they're a SERVICE company. The operating system is ZOS. You can run linux on it; called ZLinux. The competition is not using ZLinux.
      3. Fire Hazard - Mr. John Mcllrath (Room 115) wants the organization to address the issue of dangling extension cords in the ACM Office. Non-surge protected power strips are prohibited as well. He stopped by at 11:20 AM.
