Hi CompSoc!
Apologies for adding an extra email to your inboxes, but we have an exciting opportunity to share. OxfordHack (the annual Hackathon held in the University) is beginning preparations for this year, and CompSoc’s own President (Serban) and Social Secretary (Alexandra) are this year’s Hackathon Directors. A number of executive roles need filling, so if you’d like to get involved make sure to read the full description below. The deadline for applications is this Sunday!
We’re also looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for our Tech Talk with Ocado Technology! The talk starts at 7pm and there will of course be pizza and drinks provided after the talk.
Enjoy the rest of the week!
