Freshers Drinks: Tuesday 11, 20.15-22.00 St Catz PDR

Come along to talk geek, have a few drinks and nibbles on us and to generally find out what the society is. If you can't stay for long, feel free just to pop in for a quick drink and a chat.

Here is a handy map for finding Catz: http://g.co/maps/eeut2 And here is another one for finding the PDR: http://compsoc.dartoxia.com/map.png

If you get truly lost in Catz, you can call Ben on 0754 999 3401. Someone should be at the lodge to show you where to go between 2000 and 2030.

Technology Competition: Challenge 1:

This week the challenge is a really easy introductory one: "What does our logo mean?"

This week we will only be awarding a prize to new members - as our older ones already (hopefully!) know what the answer is.

Once you have figured it out go to http://compsoc.dartoxia.com/answer/<ANSWER GOES HERE>.

Anyone (with a .ox.ac.uk email address) can sign up to the competition through the http://compsoc.dartoxia.com website, but only members can receive prizes.

Compsoc.dartoxia.com isn't connected to the compsoc network, and so you will need to make a new account to participate.

You can see our logo on http://compsoc.net, for more details about the competition see http://compsoc.net/technology_competition
