Moved: Jasmine

## Closed Section
* no updates
---
## General Business
### Guild Affairs
* Sem 2 grants were submitted (Thanks Geoff)
### Purchase of Clubroom items without approval of entire Committee
* The current issue is that we don't have the items we need in the clubroom
* Geoff would like to dedicate a petty cash fund and committee members and door members can use as needed for approved items like bin bags, paper towels, batterys etc. without approval,
* it would be $15 per month, and would not be rolling
* Alex thinks bulk approved purchases when required will be better
* Bulk purchasing will be more efficient with out money as buying in small amounts from an IGA or similar is more expensive
* Exec members can currently purchase items under a certain amount so this already allows for fast purchases of necessary items outside of approval of entire committee
* This would allow Door members to purchase things that we the committee may not agree is a neccessary purchase at the time,
* we do not want the risk of not having individuals reimbursed because the committee doesn't agree
* Consensus is we can bulk purchase and we need to plan ahead with these
### Busy Bee (Clubroom Cleanup)
* There are often a lot of club items and non-club items around
* This gets door members and committee to all come in and tidy the clubroom as well as the Cam Hall communual spaces
* Do we want our own Busy Bee or join in on the next Cameron Hall Busy Bee
* Joining Cameron Hall Busy Bee will likely be best because we can help to clean and tidy the communual areas that we all share
* Consensus is join in on next Cameron Hall Busy Bee
Alex and Geoff leave 7:54pm
Anthony begins chairing 7:54pm
### Advertising & Social Media
#### Quiz Night Post
* Kimi now has access to the images
* Will post this week
> Kimi: make belated Quiz Night post on instagram/facebook post of with some favourite photos, post this week
### Door Manual Update: Social Responsibilities
* Tentative Release: Early 2025
* no updates
### Door Application Form update
* Everyone says it looks good,
* it is ready for release for next year's Door group
### IRL Sem 1 Planning Session
* This will likely be a sit down brainstorm session
* Maybe do a when2meet for January/February
* Best to lock this in soon so that we can ensure everyone can make it
> Jasmine: Confirm timing with Alex about Sem 1 Planning Session timing
### Unify App
* Naveen has reached out to us about putting our events onto Unify
* Previous committee wanted to meet with Naveen to ask about statistics to see if it's worth advertising on
* We are unsure if the app has an active user base or not
* We know that Unigames is currently using Unify and it apparently has not brought many/any people to their events
* There currently are not many clubs on the app which is likely why there isn't much use of the app
* There is not a lot of advertising for the app so many current students may not know it exists currently
* Consensus is we think it's a good idea but we're unsure if it is worth the extra effort and time to add our events onto another platform
> Adam: Talk to Naveen for more details on Unify app
### Discord Server
#### Channels update
* Tentative Date: March 2025
* Discuss next meeting
#### Announcement Roles Update
* Tentative Release: March 2025
* Jasmine did this added the 4 roles, and updated the Channels & Roles so that people can add them to themselves
#### Games Roles Update
* Tentative Release: March 2025
* Jasmine did this, added Among Us & Lethal Company roles and updated Channels & Roles
* For events still @ party games for now but also @ the respective game until more people have assigned themselves with the new roles
* We should continue to update roles to keep them up to date with events we are running
#### Updating Server Rules
* Tentative Release: March 2025
* no updates
#### UWAES Discord Bot
* Mikey implemented the discord bot and it's working as planned
* Possibly move the bot to UWA Esports Github & make Mikey Co author
#### Addition of ['FreeStuff' Bot](https://freestuffbot.xyz/)
* Curtin Esports & Games has the exact same bot
* A new channel which could clutter but you can unsubscribe from channels on discord now so should be ok
* Pulls from GOG and Epic Games and Steam
* No one seems to have any problems with this
* Consensus is we can do this
> Anthony: Add Channel for FreeStuff Bot
x#### Meet the Committee Post/Poster
* Kimi has sent a message to each Committee member with questions
* many people have not responded :sob:
##### Post Timing
* Will we have more engagement on post if we post just after or just before O-Day
* Unsure if we will get more engagement if we post on before compared to after O-Day
* We may want people to see the post when they first open our social media on O-Day
* Or we may want people to see the post on their for you page afterwards once they have followed us
* Consensus is to post on morning of O-Day so that it can still come up on for you page as well as people seeing it if they open our insta on O-Day
> Everyone: Respond to Kimi about the Meet Committee Post ASAP
