Hi CompSoc!
Good news everyone! Stash has arrived! You can come down to any of our events from now until the end of term to pick yours up. CompSocks are coming from a different supplier, so we haven’t got those yet, but everything else is ready.
Your first chance to pick it up will be at tonight’s Geek Night! It’s going to be a fairly relaxed one, but we’ll have some computer scientists and mathematicians on hand to discuss option choices for those moving up a year.
Our TGM is happening this Wednesday. If you’d like to submit a motion
then just get in touch with a member of the committee and we can help
you out. You do need to be a member to attend, but you can purchase
lifetime membership for just £5 on the night. A tentative agenda is
attached, but new motions can be submitted until Tuesday so this may be
updated before the meeting.
If you missed our talk with Artem Kaznatcheev on Algorithmic Biology a few weeks back, he has since written a brief overview of the talk here. He also provided us with his slides from the talk, which are attached.
If you're interested in joining the committee for this year's OxfordHack, then the deadline for applications is tomorrow!
Do remember to follow CompSoc on Instagram!
Have a great week,
The CompSoc committee

To anyone with an interest in cybersecurity or ethical hacking, the Competitive Computer Security Society are launching our end-of-term “capture-the-flag” (CTF) on Saturday at the Oxford Foundry. CTFs are events where you solve puzzles and basically hack your way around challenges to discover flags and earn points. A hands on, practical session that will work for the curious, the seasoned, the undecided and the very-much-decided, we’re running from 10am - 3pm with lunch provided.
