Discussion and Decisions
- G-Research event moved to 2020-12-03 because not many people signed up for the event, but it is limited to students in their final two years only.
- STMU by Transfer Wise: no response from company, so if still no communication by Friday then Ananya will speak about biotech as a student speaker. Allie is okay to postpone event to next Friday, and Tudor to make FB event and add to Google calendar.
- Family Feud: could make a league, form to find out family availabilities, to be done by Ananya
- Christmas events:
- Due to lockdown, lots of freshers haven't been able to form strong friendships/groups and will be stuck alone in Edinburgh on Christmas day so we could set up Discord on the day to give people a space to drop in
- Cook-along - Alex: there is a society that has a weekly bake-along, could be done a few days before Christmas
- Christmas movie watch-along: could do joint with Glasgow CompSoc, and create poll to decide which movies to watch. Maybe collaboratively with another society if appropriate depending on movie?
- Committee secret santa -> Ananya, reddit matching
- Recruit volunteers to provide food/entertainment for children throughout Edinburgh during festive period
- Presents to those in Edinburgh? E.g. postcards/socks
- Pronoun roles: no opposition, Artemis is on it
- Nord VPN: nominal cost to the society, then free to students. Alex has meeting tomorrow.
- Cafe partnership supported, Ananya to enquire further
- SigINT planning to do a big event soon
- CompSoc will be doing the introductions for the next 2 Debias workshops with WiSTEM -> Alex
