Friday was our the first meeting of the new UTAS Computing Society Executive, which incidentally, was the first under our new name (TUCS). Since then lots of progress has been made:
- We launched our new Website, www.tucs.org.au.
- We began planning for the launch day for the new society, which is scheduled for Friday, May 2. We’re having a barbecue, and performing a membership drive (since we didn’t do that at the start of the year, in order to get the new society in order).
- Started a new series of Tech Talks. I’ll be giving the first one on introductory Python, and we’re planning on making this coincide with the society launch.
All in all, it’s a somewhat exciting time to be doing Computing-related stuff at UTas (here’s hoping it stays that way!)
If you want to talk to other student computing society people, you might like to jump on irc.ucc.asn.au and join #ucc or #scissa. Good luck with the new committee!
Hmm, “TUCS” sounds oddly familiar to a well-known kernel mascot…
I think it’s worth noting that that was at least part of the idea 🙂
That is so cool!! Nice idea! You should have some TUCS v. TULS events. 😀
Right now that’s not an idea that we’re considering (especially since we’re significantly smaller than TULS, amongst other things)
plus we’re holding back really,
we’d totally bbqpwn tuls
