Manifestos and Details for Oct EGM

Published 29 Oct 2021

On Friday (today) at 18:30 we have this year's first monthly Student Tech Meetup as well as our Emergency General Meeting to elect some new committee members! Here are the session details, and the election manifestos.

Venue:
Online (on Twich and YouTube). No tickets required!
Time:
18:30 - est. 20:30 BST
Programme:
Dylan Thinnes - Why We Learn Languages Our programming languages are Turing-complete, meaning they all can solve the same problems - so why do we bother to learn more than one?
In this talk, we'll go over how programming languages shape (for better or worse) the way we think about problems.
We'll go over languages you have heard of, some that are more obscure, and even some "joke" languages, and see what they all bring to the table.
CompSoc Commitee - Election We're holding an election to elect a new Vice President, 1st Year Representative, and 3rd Year Representative.
Candidates will give 1 minute speeches (2 minutes for VP), and the audience may be ask questions.
See below for details.
