MIT Student Information Processing Board
SIPB (pronounced ``Sip-bee'') is the Student Information Processing
Board, the volunteer student group concerned with
computing at MIT. We
administer several machines and an AFS cell, provide Usenet access to
Athena, are available for telephone (253-7788) or in-person (W20-557)
consulting at almost any time of day or night, have one-of-a-kind
meetings Monday evenings at 7:30 pm, write documentation of all sorts,
run a wide variety of servers, including a WWW server,
hack, and generally have a good time. We also act as an advocate for
student computer users and student computer access on campus.
