This change ensures that the temporary directory created by `mkdir --directory` is always removed when `deploy.sh` exits, whether or not the script succeeded.
It also modifies the `git clone` command to use the `file://` protocol instead of HTTPS, to speed up the download.

- Fixed edge case with fetching execs
- Added Bootcamp mentor application news, and CSC x Google event
**Problem:** When building the Meet the Team page using LDAP (in CI), we were only checking CSC members for the "current" term (Fall 2022) to see if any of them were execs. Since our actual current execs (the Spring 2022 execs, since Fall 2022 elections have not occurred yet) have not renewed their memberships for Fall 2022, the script was unable to find individuals for the Prez/VP/AVP/Trez positions, which caused an error.
**Solution:**
1. Gracefully handle the edge case where an exec position might be intentionally unfilled, by simply omitting it from the Meet the Team page.
2. Search through CSC members for both the current term and the previous term, when checking for execs. Note that this might make the build time slightly slower, since the script now needs to loop through two terms of members in order to pick out the execs, however the difference should be insignificant.

I don't think we should keep a long message in the file, since all the warnings are loaded on every page load, so it might have a negative effect on performance over a long period if we keep all warnings.

The CSC's Executive updated the Machine Usage Agreement on 10 July 2022.
The updates are as follows:
- A note was added that CSC Cloud resources fall under the same policies as the rest of CSC's machines and network.
- A note was added that the Systems Committee may delete CSC Cloud resources when their CSC account expires.
- A directive was added that all club reps read the Wiki page on Club Hosting when they become a club rep and then at least once a term for notices on that page.
- MFCF was replaced with CSCF (when the previous 2007 version was published, CSC had relations with MFCF instead of CSCF, which may not even have existed at the time. CSC now has relations with CSCF more than MFCF.)
- Various grammatical errors were corrected.
Note: Please do not merge this PR until 18 July 2022, to allow members time to receive the new version.

1. The CRO shall not vote except to break a tie.
1. The CRO may, if feasible, accept absentee ballots from full members. No absentee vote from a member shall be counted if the member is present at the time the vote is taken. The CRO shall make a best effort to ensure that absentee ballots are compatible with the method of voting chosen; if this is not possible (for instance, if the CRO is overruled by the membership), then the absentee votes shall not be counted.
1. Immediately after the vote is taken, the CRO will announce the results of the election and the winner will be removed from subsequent contests. If, due to lack of candidates (because there were no nominations, or candidates withdrew or were eliminated), there is no one elected to an office, then the members at the meeting will decide whether or not to hold extra elections in accordance with the procedure for vacancies. If they choose not to, this does not prevent the Executive or a group of members from calling extra elections later in the term in accordance with the usual vacancy provisions.
1. Following the elections, it is the responsibility of the new executive to select a System Administrator. The selection of System Administrator must then be ratified by the members at the meeting. If a suitable System Administrator is not available, then the executive may delay their selection until one becomes available. In this case the selection of System Administrator must be ratified at the next meeting of the Club.

In the case of a resignation of an officer or officers, including the President, or if a vacancy occurs for any other reason, the Executive, members at a meeting, or any ten (10) members may call extra elections to replace such officer(s). If extra elections are held, they are held for all vacant offices.
1. Whenever extra elections are held, they shall follow the usual election procedure. If they are held after elections failed to elect an officer, then the nomination period may be shortened to less than a week in order to allow the extra elections to take place at the same date and time in the following week. The Executive (or the ten (10) members who called the election) may appoint a replacement CRO if the previous CRO is unwilling or unable to fulfill their duties.

🚀 Have you heard of Git or used it in your past coop terms?
🖥️ Most software development these days is done using git. Git can seem very complex to use (and often is!). However, it turns out the core architecture behind git is quite simple and elegant.
🤔 We will explore how git works under the hood to understand this architecture, and demystify what commonly used git commands actually do. Afterwards, we will dive deeper into the implications of this architecture, both positive and negative, as well as how this knowledge can be useful day to day. We will end it off by answering the question: “Is git the first blockchain?” (spoiler: sort of!) There are drinks/snacks served at the event!
