Agenda
- HTB Update
- Barclays confirmed as platinum sponsor.
- Need to clarify intersection between CompSoc and HtB sponsorships. There has especially been trouble with Optiver.
- Venue: AT confirmed, still no reply about Gordon Aikman.
- Planning to accept 230 people, with a split between AT and IF, with workshops in the LTs.
- INFball Update
- Budget looks good, might need to cut because of external factors. Cuts will likely not be larger than ca. £200.
- Neil/ the school could potentially help out with paying for things like staff tickets.
- Graphics for the Facebook page.
- Invite staff soon.
- Socials
- Revs Bub quiz.
- Games Night with GameSoc.
- Notes from TechSec
- Moving email designer.
- New static asset server.
- We've adopted ScotQuans digital infrastructure.
- Merch
- Subsidizing hoodies: £15 per hoodie, CompSoc donated £1 to Turing Trust per hoodie.
- PWNed sponsor issue
- SIGint has taken on a potentially controversial sponsor, which might cause trouble with EUSA.
- This is a subsidiary of BAE systems.
- There was a student who emailed in with some issues with this sponsor, and took it up with EUSA. Might turn into a protest.
- Negative press might affect CompSoc.
- The event will probably go forwards without BAE, but will be a lot worse.
- Might avoid BAE as a sponsor in the following years.
- Might be sanctions from EUSA.
- There has been a suggestion to move the event to be co-hosted by the Inf department, so it's technically not a EUSA associated event.
- Event with EEE.
- Hash code
- Hosting with Hoppers, will split pizza cost with us.
- Need to talk about the specifics of cost splitting.
- Sponsors need to be talked more about, both when they are considered and when they are signed on.
- SIGnet is not active at all. The leader should be contacted.
- The commercial law society is trying to merge many law society into one. Might be issues with this and LawTech.
TODO
- Clarify contracts and how CompSoc sponsorships and HtB sponsorships interact.
