i have seen a couple of questions about club accounts on ftoomsh.

my 2c is this:

- clubs & society facilities are the responsibilty of the union

- if clubs want services (ie web pages) on ftoomsh, we should
charge the union like wounded bulls for the privilige of our
expertise (fwiw, my employer charges me out at approx $100/hour)
my rational for this: i pay the union a shit load of money each year
and see piss all for it; the union bought a yacht (a YACHT!) last year
for the sailing club, so i'd like to see $70K + worth of equipment/etc
for the benefit of progsoc (say, a properly set up room, where members
can use a bunch of workstations or something)

maybe i'm just bitter & twisted from my early years as an ostricised geek
- now that "the 'net" is so cool, people should be made to recall what
sort of people brought it into existence in the first place...

(feel free to ignore as much of that as you like)

cheers
