CYBERBUZZ? WHAT IS IT?
On August 16, 1997, the cords were attached and the CyberBuzz server powered up! Its goal? To enhance the communication of student activities. After a few months with test organizations hammering our software installations and management scripts CyberBuzz was opened for business. A year later we hosted all of the student organizations web pages, email distribution lists, and organizational database entries. CyberBuzz is now the one place to look for student organizations and find the low down on student events.

Forget remembering who's Resnet server the organizations web pages were on or if that was last years address or maybe that address you have scribbled on that piece of paper is next years server? O, we can't forget the new email addresses for accounts on CyberBuzz giving organizations simple, anti gtwhattheheck or dsadmdfdudndk, email address which are simply put, easy to remember. We also are hosting services such as online used books/items 4sale site, the course critique for finding that perfect professor(or avoiding the not so perfect), and a calendar to find out what events are going on.

Our pages are served fresh and speedy from the server net at OIT. We are not just another site popping up out of a dorm room that will disappear next coop job and is on a shared connection network with their neighbor running a mp3 server! We are supported and backed by Administration, SGA, and Presidents Council. We have spent the last years working to develop these crucial communication channels which will allow CyberBuzz to succeed well into the future.

CyberBuzz is run entirely by students at Georgia Tech. Not just one but several! OK, that is a scary thought but we got over it! Hey, the server came about from those of us who realized during the daily nap in Party-Di that finding information on campus was a pain and wanted to fix this. We, therefore, are always open to ideas that improve the student's experience on campus, within reason of course. If you would like to work on a project that you think will benefit the students on this campus PLEASE contact us. This server is for the students by the students. Become part of the by the students!

OK, SO WHO ARE THE PEOPLE BEHIND CYBERBUZZ?
System Founders -
Mike Sheldon
Matt Kucic
Chris Ricker

The Coach -
Matt Kucic - Now the guy in charge of CyberBuzz(at least we let him think so!) , gets to deal with all the administrative stuff, make the final call when the other administrators running the system are whining that it should be their way and are in disagreement. He gets to do all this over Tech's antiquated 28.8 dialups(some day he will be able to afford ASDL or a cable modem)! He will stand by the admins who slave over the server putting in their free time. Even if they did just delete your account after sending you a nasty email for no apparent reason.

System Admins -
Jason Price - If something goes wrong he is the first line of attack. Sometimes also the second, third and fourth when the rest of us leave town for break!
Chris Ricker - He set most of it up so guess what! He still keeps most of it running!
Mike Sheldon - Not sure about him! I think he breaks more than he actually fixes!

Web Design -
Nancy Chen - She does cool work. She is the person behind the new main web page an hopefully is going to be the person behind every other one! Right Nancy? Just peal off the page to see her!
Matt Kucic - Can't write html worth beans. But gets sheldon to clean it up so he doesn't care! Works to put dynamic into the html
Mike Sheldon - Obsessed with really funky colors. I swear he changes them every other day!

ListProc People -
Matt Kucic - Learned the software by mistake and now get to keep it running! LESSON HERE EVERYONE!!!!
SLOT OPEN - Help Needed? You want to help? Send us email!

Cyberbuzz Alumni [ but most likely still helping out ] -
Chris Ricker - Left for a better paying position in Utah! Since he wasn't paid anything at tech the graduate stipend looked like a Bill Gates salary to him!
Mike Sheldon - Still on campus. Still working on CyberBuzz.

Other who we are gratefully thankful too:
Amy Ayeres - Front line to distribution list problems. And helped with the list transitions.
Jon Huff - If you like your nice @gatech.edu email addresses thank him!
Chris Sidi - Helps out randomly and points out all our mistakes.
