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(a)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!
