This meeting we will be discussing the group and any individual's plans for this semester, get people setup to use the test servers, and one of a few discussions about the setup of ACM systems. For anyone that missed the last meeting, the important talking points from the last meeting will be gone over again and as a general reminder no prior experience with Linux or server administration is needed. If you were at the first meeting and wish to continue with the SIG or started out last semester please try and make this meeting or if you cannot, email me so I can get a rough list of people down to help better plan out meetings.

Message-ID: Hi guys, We're meeting today. We're going to be planning out this piece of software we're going to be working on during the semester. Also, I've found out this weekend why our minesweeper program does NOT solve P==NP, and intend to give an explanation of how average case and worst case apply to P==NP, and how I imagine a solution to P==NP could emerge. I know it's highly theoretical, but as it applies to our last semester project and I think it's interesting I thought I would share. Hope to see you there!

I decided to make sure we get all the major ground work done on the group project for *both *new members and those that had already started. I would like anyone that has finished with the first set up tasks up and including getting libvirt running to help others which will include people starting from scratch. I want all those tasks completed so I can start covering Active Directory topics, and I want people to be able to follow along during any talks. If you want to get into the lab not during the SIG hours, reply or email me directly. Here is the task page for reference: https://acm.cs.uic.edu/sigsysadmin-tasks I recommend new people do the beginner tasks on their own before starting (although not required), and if on the main project, you need to do tasks: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Anyone that needs access to the IT lab (SEL 2264) not during the SIG hours to do work, please email me and we can work out the details.
