Our first Hackshop will be a quick presentation followed by a workshop, all revolving around the source versioning system Git.

It starts a little after 4:30 in the Student Union's Room 314. Bring a laptop and make sure you have Git installed. For most linux systems, this is git-core. For windows systems, you may be able to use the commands via the CS department server.

Programming Competitions

Submitted by ChadV on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 09:56

There are two competitions coming up shortly, and we will need to organize quickly in order to make either...

The Denison Competition is on February 27th. This is a day trip (Contest starts at Noon), and due to short notice, travel expenses and admission fees will have to be covered by the teams. - EDIT: Dr. Chan has volunteered to have the department cover most of the costs.

The amount of money ASG gave us was either $340.00, $681.90, $692.00. Trever continues to be dissatisfied. The good news is that we should have some amount of money with which to buy a new irobot and possibly some arduinos. Key word there being should.

After much prolonged debate on time and topic, we decided to do a hackshop on git. It will be next Thursday (Feb 11) in the student union from 4:30 until whenever.

We talked to Chuck about the latest episode of the Saga of Dell

If you haven't paid dues, pay them to Larry ASAP

We discussed the poll for hackshop timing

Trever has some cool flyers posted on the website. Check 'em out.

The Saga of UAF Funding is still ongoing...

Student United Way is hosting a charity old school nintendo tournament in April. We should dominate them. More info later.

The check for Child's Play finally got mailed this morning! Yay!

Yeah, it was sort of a sad meeting. It happens from time to time. We'll try harder next week, we promise.

Best time for Hackshops

Our big mistake last semester was holding our hackshops when nobody could come. Here's your chance to have a say. Rank your choices, and we'll then have a good list of times to have them. There's a small page up at /hack for you to look at for more details about how these will go down. The poll is open 'till noon of next wednesday, so be sure to vote by then.

The votes were counted by everyone's favorite robot, Phong, and the result is that our regular member meetings will...be the same time as last semester. And the year before. At least we're consistent, right?

Student Programming Position

Submitted by Sidein on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 14:25

My boss, Matt Bungard, is looking to replace a student that graduated last fall. Preferably a Freshman or a Sophomore and fits this description: 'I’d prefer to find someone with a particular focus on web apps,mobile programming and/or Web Design. In all, I think web design make actually be the most useful.' I don't know if this means he wants someone with prior experience, or someone interested in those areas. Also, you will share a single cube with up to two other people at one point in time, and your work location may be moved several times. It is good for resumes.
