CompSoc Week2
by Ken Kawamoto 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

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(a)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(a)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(a)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.

CompSoc- Welcome back
by Ken Kawamoto 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hi all, Welcome back to a new term! Starting this term we're running a crash course of technical talks and workshops that aims to cover everything someone working with computers ought to know! OK, so we won't have enough time to cover absolutely everything, but in future many of you will find yourselves - often not by choice! - responsible for setting up and administering computer systems. Inevitably that involves tracking down and fixing problems when things go wrong. Firstly, we want you to be equiped with the understanding and practical troubleshooting skills that could help you become a (well-paid) computing expert. Secondly, we'd like to provide a broad exposure to many different aspects of computing at many levels so you feel you know something about all sorts of things you might encounter. We'll get started by looking at the world from the perspective of a systems administrator, and focus on security and then networking. Once things get going, we're hoping that some of you will offer to share your own particular expertise with other members as part of this programme. The first event will be this Wednesday and there'll be roughly one each week. Alongside this we intend to apply some of the skills to set up a server in Oxford for the society again. Hope you all have a great term. Ken.
