[compsoc-announce] CompSoc Week2

[Ken Kawamoto]

Hi all,

This week we will be continuing with our series of System  
Administration crash course talks:
Time: 20:00 Thu 26th Jan
Place: Denis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building (on  
Banbury Rd & Keble Rd)

Also...
We are planning the Annual General Meeting on Thursday of Week 7 (2nd  
March), where we intend to elect a new committee.
Three positions are up for grabs.  You may want to contact the  
current committee members to have any queries answered.
President: Ken Kawamoto (president@ox.compsoc.net)
   -> "to preside over meetings, to authorise all expenditure and  
ultimately be responsible for the running of the Society"
Secretary: Simon Hay (secretary@ox.compsoc.net)
   -> (meant to) "take minutes at meetings, deal with Society  
correspondence and stand in for the President when necessary"
Treasurer: Stanley Yung (treasurer@ox.compoc.net)
   -> "to maintain the accounts of the Society, report to the members  
thereon, and to stand in for the Secretary when necessary" (and not  
quit mid-term)
Please contact me if you are thinking of running for any of these  
positions.

Finally...
Here's an extract from an e-mail from QinetiQ:
---
I am QinetiQ's Campus Manager for graduate and postgraduate  
recruitment at Oxford University this academic year, and am  
contacting you to let you know that we are holding a careers evening  
on Wednesday of 2nd week (25th January) in the Danson Room, Trinity  
College, which members of OU CompSoc may be interested in attending.   
Computer Science is one of our target recruitment subjects, and as  
such I am keen to promote the event to students of this subject, as  
well as those in related disciplines.

The evening will begin with presentations about a wide range of  
different projects within QinetiQ, and then there will be an informal  
session over drinks during which speakers and QinetiQ representatives  
will be happy to answer questions.  It should be an interesting and  
enjoyable evening, and will hopefully be of great benefit to anyone  
considering a career in science and technology research.

Have a good week!

Ken.
