More dedicated comp-soc events

  • Board-game night is good example of this
  • Hoppers is much better at doing frequent events which creates one tight-knit community as opposed to separate clusters which don't really overlap
  • Analytics fraud to boost event numbers?
  • Cross-sig collaboration maybe? However sigs are inherently more technical
  • Need events which are less technical
    • Coffee crawl, movie night
    • Give presentations on a theme about thing people are interested in, i.e. non-technical project share
    • Things which don't require too much money or organisation
    • Weekly study session perhaps
  • STMU is hard to socialise at with new people because too big and crowded
