Hello everyone,
This week, we have the TGM, that termly dose of voting and peering at
the committee. It's in the Big Bang [1] at 7:30pm, on Thursday (22 May)
- if you're probably going to come, it would be nice if you could email
me so we can at least warn the poor people about the impending geek deluge.
That will round off our events for the term, since the next three weeks
are filled with things like exams (and other horrible creations dreamt
up by various teaching members of the University) for some of us. We'll
be back in Michaelmas, with a strong events calendar and, hopefully, a
bout of new freshers.
If you have any people or subjects you'd like to see at a talk next
term, email me your suggestions and we'll barrage the appropriate people
with emails until they give in and come down here.
If I don't see you this Thursday, then have a good vac, and see you next
term! (That is, if you're not off into the Real World, having stumbled
out of Oxford clutching a degree...)

Hello everyone,
Just a reminder that the Lightning Talks are tomorrow, at Keble, at 8pm.
We have a few talks confirmed so far:
- 64 Bit Computing In The 21st Century
- OSM and OpenGuides
- A Whirlwind Tour of Django
We expect a few more to appear on the night, and please feel free to
turn up with a computer, or a memory stick with some kind of reasonable
file format. There will also be a meal before the event; join #compsoc
on irc.oxirc.org to find out as we decide where to hold it at the last
minute.
See you there! (meet at the Keble lodge, that is).
Andrew

Hello everyone,
Sorry about the lack of events this and last week, but various different
situations have conspired to result in no speakers. We promise we'll get
you more next term.
However, we plan to fix this by holding another round of Lightning Talks
on Wednesday of 4th week. Details are up on the website [1], but we need
some speakers! The committee can probably come up with a few talks, but
we need you too!
Talks need only be short - five or ten minutes is fine - and can be on
any subject, as long as you can somehow tie it to computers, the
internet, or cheese [2].
So, if you have an talk idea, email us at committee(a)ox.compsoc.net with
a snazzy title (or not so snazzy - we can 'snazzy it up' for you if you
want) and a short paragraph saying what the talk is about. We'll
announce the talks for the event a few days before it happens.
In the meantime, have fun punting/eating strawberries/sitting in a dark
room looking at computer screens...

[2]: Cheese is the ultimate food, and so any related talks are entirely
acceptable.
