AI and accessibility hackathon
Anna approached by Aurora Constantin from school of informatics
Google and skyscanner as sponsors (unsure if this is actually obtained or just planned targets?)
Asking for help from compsoc
Could be promotion, making challenges, organisational advice
Planned to be in February
Kacper - Don’t want it to be like cauldron labs event, i.e. make sure compsoc doesn’t take too much of the burden
EGM
uni events team aware of everything going on
booked from 5-9pm
Don’t share bending spoons recordings publicly, can stop/start livestream around it, post recording privately
Kay has camera with mini-hdmi out which can be used for livestream through OBS, need to get adapter to HDMI
Emily - Need to rewrite rust code for scraping members list because uni changed auth stuff
Kaiwen won’t be allowed to play video during election, unfair as not explicitly stated in rules
Kacper - Web3 society hackathon collab request
Originally wanted to do it in sem1, rejected because of HtB, so moved to sem2
Allegedly revolut, solana, etc. are willing to support
“Crypto HtB I guess”
AI agents, stablecoins, mini apps, DeFi
Potentially say compsoc can’t help them unless they’re a SIG
Ask if QuantSIG are interested?
Kacper will get some of the web3 people to a future committee meeting to talk more about it
Cloudsig
Kacper doesn’t want to vote about them today, technically they don’t need a quorum by the constitution, but practically they should need one because the SIG has been dead for 2 years so no direct line of succession
Merlin - point of quorum vote is to prevent priv-esc takeover of committee by small group of people
They have a budget, ~£350/year, over about 7 sessions, project share is more like £20 per session for snacks and stuff, list of sponsors to cold-email, might want to check for ones which have bad reputations (BDS lists) after getting responses
Start running regular events in Sem2 to give more time for planning, start with a big intro event (AWS workshop), do regular events every 2 weeks
Smaller businesses are more amenable for speakers
Michael glienicke would be likely to be willing to do a talk - might be useful for getting more traction with non 1st years
SIGINT collab, CTF with cloud theme, e.g. misconfigured s3 buckets, …
Anna, Kacper - Important to advertise aggressively to try and get more non-1st years
Push back Sem2 event by a week or 2 because lots of people won’t get back for a bit after christmas hols
Emily - clearly are taking it seriously, have proper planning for events, concur around importance of getting non 1st-years, diversifying committee outside of just 1 friend group to make SIG more sustainable, finding people who have more expertise for teaching
Kacper wants to sign off on any announcements before they get sent
Try to get access to mailing list for advertising
Anna - vote on cloudsig quickly to make it easier to do planning, events, advertising
Don’t have enough of exec commitee for vote to take place this week
kameran’s busy with HtB so might not be able to help out
CloudSIG back for halloween - frankenstein
