## The mission

The OCF is an all-volunteer, student-run, student-initiated service group
dedicated to free computing for all [University of California at
Berkeley][berkeley] students, faculty, and staff. The mission of the OCF is to
provide an environment where no member of Berkeley's campus community is denied
the computer resources he or she seeks, and to appeal to all members of the
Berkeley campus community with unsatisfied computing needs and to provide a
place for those interested in computing to fully explore that interest.

## What do we do?

The Open Computing Facility provides free computing services to student,
faculty, and staff, ranging from free printing to expiration-free web
space to Unix shell accounts to email. Furthermore, the OCF operates a
highly frequented long-hours computing lab with a generally high
volunteer-staff-to-user ratio for accessible in-person support, as well
as online support. In addition to these user services, the group also
hosts numerous student group websites, and provides support to these and
other organizations on campus.

To be able to do this, we are always aiming to secure more resources to
fully meet the needs of everyone in the campus community. Our primary
resources are our GNU/Linux workstations and servers, entirely
administered by [[student volunteers|doc staff]].
These resources are located within our computing lab in the basement of
Hearst Gym.

To help people explore the field of computing and educate them about the
resources available, the OCF also provides a variety of educational services.
We used to co-sponsor a series of Help Sessions, short classes taught
throughout the semester on a wide range of computing topics, from beginner to
advanced levels, and focusing on resources available to the Berkeley campus
community. These now take the form of [DeCal
courses][decal] offered by us. We also offer e-mail and
in-person consulting with our volunteer staff members, as well as online
sources of information about computing on the Berkeley campus and how to use
the available resources. Additionally, the OCF has conducted career fairs in
the past with its sister organization, the [Computer Science Undergraduate
Association][csua]

Policies for this cluster and decisions for the OCF organization are made
by the OCF Board of Directors, a group of students elected each semester
by the OCF membership. The Board meetings, held at least once every two
weeks when classes are in session, are open to the public and provide a
chance for any user to express their concerns or opinions about the OCF.

## How to find us

The OCF is located in the basement of Hearst Gym (see [map][map]). Normal
hours are Monday through Friday 9AM - 6PM, Saturday 11AM
- 6PM, and Sunday 12PM - 5PM.

If you need to contact OCF staff members, you may [[send us an email|doc
contact]]

The Open Computing Facility is a student group acting independently of
the University of California. We take full responsibility for our
organization and this website.

## Where have OCF staffers gone after leaving the OCF?

Many OCF staffers have found the skills and experience they gained from being
OCF staff have been useful after leaving us. While we obviously can't claim
credit for everyone or being the sole source of experience for people, we'd
like to think everyone who has donated time to help us has gained something in
return, whether it be skills, experience, new friends, or just the satisfaction
of making a difference helping your fellow students.
