Stickers

• Vik will order tonight

Cards

• Vik has emailed Dave and is waiting for a response
• Front and back of card are (semi-) finalised
• Will not arrive in time for next week’s STMU
• Will arrive for the one after next
• Could use spare previous ones in the meantime?
  • Handing out two separate batches of cards would be confusing

STMU

• Next week’s one
• Problem of determining who is a member for bar tab
• Amazon is sponsoring our drinks for (currently unconfirmed)
• Loft bar?
  • tab is needed in advance
• Whistlestop?
  • 20% off, plus £3 ciders and £3.50 drinks
  • Can send out e-tabs
  • Potentially unreliable, need a smartphone/need to remember to do so

Social stuff

• Xmas dinner/end of year party dates
• Need Nick, who isn’t here

Library

• Books left over from Forrest Hill
• 10 more books have been donated
• We need a librarian to lend them out
• Angus will do so
  • Collect student number

NetSIG

• Have been voted in but don’t have an official name
• Official name
• NetSIG or SIGnet?
  • Forcing them to change their name might be heavy-handed
  • Leader says he is happy to change name, but Group does not want to change name
  • How strongly do people feel about it?
  • Consensus is we should let them stay as SIGnet

Local Hack Day

• 2nd December
  • Day after last lecture
• Vik will (can be) running it
• Only deadline is 8th December
• Somewhere in Appleton would be the best idea
  • Room?
  • Robotics lab? Do we have access?
  • Get a big room to make it feel like one event

Hacktoberfest

• Open source thing next week
• Stickers will arrive in time for it
• Get some snacks for it as well, nothing too big

PreHack

• Harry still happy to organise it
• Harry, Will, Joe can do talks
• Will also put out a call for other speakers
• Date?
  • Plenty happening in 1st semester,
  • 2nd weekend in Feb at the latest
  • Before people are too deep into coursework

UKIEPC

• Who can enter?
  • Inf or all?
  • Just INF - easier to run, department might be happier, could provide prize
• All - would be in line with organiser’s guidelines
• Ask the organisers and the Department
