Greetings humans,

Welcome back everyone, for the last and most stressful term of the year. We have an event packed first half of the term waiting for you starting with three this week.

This Thursday, we're starting off with a talk on bug bounty hunting and other real world cybersecurity opportunities, head on to LTBR at 5pm for an exciting talk if you want to join the world of cybersecurity, or if you're just interested.

Friday has a familiar Bubble Tea Social waiting for us, join us from 5-6pm, as we chill out with some bubble tea at CompSoc's expense, relax and forget about the approaching examinations for a brief moment.

And this Saturday, we're gonna have this term's presentation night, make sure to sign up here if you want to go on stage — it can be any topic you want! Come down at 7pm to listen to each other's presentations, you don't have to give one to join.

Our CompSoc continuation overflow seems to have caused a crash! Join us this Saturday for a continuation-less social while we figure out how to continue.

— İhsan, CompSoc Secretary

Fun computing fact: The earliest documented case of spam was a message advertising a new model of computers sent by Gary Thuerk to 393 recipients on ARPANET on May 3, 1978, which is almost a quarter of the users connected at the time! People got so mad that it took an entire decade until others realized the potential for advertisement and another 5 years when it was named as what we all know and hate.

Still not a member? How?! Membership only costs £1 for LIFE, with tons of benefits - discounts on merch and tickets, free food at all socials, our exclusive Discord server and more - so it's definitely worth signing up!

Make sure to join OxWoCS (Oxford Women in CS), a society we're working closely with, if you identify as a woman or woman-adjacent person in CS! They have a host of wonderful events on, including talks, panels and socials. Computer Science is unfortunately a subject with one of the biggest gender gaps in Oxford and worldwide, and addressing this is at the core of OxWoCS.
