Hello, everyone. This week we have the Django talk; read on for more infos.
The Carbon Account ==================
Speaker: Tom Dyson Wednesday 14th November, 20:00 Roy Griffiths Room, Keble
Tom Dyson, of Torchbox, will be coming to talk about their in-house Django project, aimed at helping people cut down on carbon emissions. He'll delve into the technical aspects of implementing such a computationally-heavy web application, as well as giving a few general tips and pointers on this sort of web development.
Meet outside/just inside the Keble Porter's Lodge at 8, and a Very Nice Compsoc Person will walk you down to the right place.
There's a few bits of other business; the TGM/Party/Possible Movie Showing has been moved to Monday of 8th, but on the plus side we have a nice large, posh room now, so I expect you all to come so we can fill it up! More details on that one closer to the time.
Lightning talks are next week; we're still finalising the venue, but keep that Thursday free, and if you feel up for the challenge prepare a small presentation (only 5-10 minutes, or longer if you like!), otherwise, you can just come and laugh at the rest of us, and our professional talking skills. It'd be nice if you could email me (president@ox.compsoc.net) if you're planning to give a talk; current proposals include one about "Windows vs Linux (from a more normal perspective)", and one on pretty graphing of musical history, and a few other people who have yet to properly decide!
If you do give a lighting talk, like all our speakers you'll be invited to a pre-talk dinner. We're not going to pay for everything, but we might be able to stretch to something... so, even more reason to sit down and think for a while!
Hopefully I'll see you all on Wednesday!
Andrew
