<div>It might be nice to get in touch with our alumni. We have memberlists going back to 73 or so, and the old alums are still alive so we might be able to complete our records back into the late 60s. It might also be nice to have a quarterly newsletter to them and to solicit talks, donations, and in general build an active alum community. Since we are now way past our 50th anniversary we can't use that for reunion technologies (we could, of course, use a different arbitrary number, like 64). The memberlists are in FC1 under the tab old memberlists until they become digital. <br />
<br />
This will be a big project, perhaps an enterprising President could contact the [http://alumni.uwaterloo.ca/alumni/ Office of Alumni Affairs] for help or something.<br />
<br />
== CSC Expat Community (CEC!?!?!?) ==<br />
<br />
One option is to allow this to happen more organically by providing graduating and recently graduated members that we are still in touch with tools to stick together and connect with new CSCers who are on co-op. Some specifics that could be done:<br />
<br />
* csc-city mailing lists?<br />
* A CSC Wiki page listing 'correct' establishments frequented by CSCers in foreign cities.<br />
* ????<br />
* Cities for initial focus: SF/Things you can BART/Caltrain to, Toronto, Seattle, New York, maybe Boston, maybe Montreal<br />
* Should also try to stay in better contact with KW Alumni. Maybe an alumni pub night or something? Should contact sdt about this.<br />

* Prefrosh - 1. (n.) A student who has not yet entered first year at a university, but has been given an offer and accepted it. Barring unforseen circumstances all prefrosh become frosh at the start of "frosh week".<br />
* Protofrosh - 1. (n.) A student who has applied to a university, but has not accepted any offers. (The status of offers tendered is not relevant, there is currently a lexical gap for this higher granularity.)<br />

<hr />
<div>So the situation is that we have been actively attempting to secure new space for the CSC for the past 2.5 years (a guess.)<br />
<br />
The way we have been going about this has been mostly behind scenes scheming.<br />
Originally, MathSoc came to us with the idea (mcgreco specifically.) Perhaps<br />
it would be most effective at this point to assert our desires explicitly.<br />
<br />
To this end j3parker has suggested we prepare a high quality proposal. This wiki page is for organizing the content-collection process for this proposal.<br />
<br />
== Major sections of the proposal ==<br />
<br />
We should make it clear that while we have an office, it isn't an office. It's social space, used by a large number of students. Expanding it would allow us<br />
to continue using it as a public social space.<br />
<br />
=== Usage Data ===<br />
<br />
Data about our office usage: how many people (distinct vs. not) enter our office throughout the week, how much our terminals are used etc. <br />
<br />
Possible collection schemes:<br />
* Have office staff keep a tally sheet<br />
* Record captures from the cameras at say 15 minute intervals, tally at the end of the day, and delete the images.<br />
<br />
Data about our membership: fractions from which faculties, alumni, raw numbers.<br />
<br />
Related to this is talk and event attendance, the difference between max in the office at a moment and event attendees will be a good indicator of space discrepancies.<br />
<br />
=== Expansion plan ===<br />
<br />
* How we would use the space: <br />
** A mockup of how we would design the office with the additional space. <br />
*** b4taylor and j3parker have volunteered to do early drafts in Google Sketchup <br />
*** Jack Rehder was initially opposed to tearing the wall down, due to renovation costs.? In particular, the floor will need to be refinished, so it's not simply dismantling a wall. Instead, he proposed putting a door (or two) in. <br />
** Costs to go along with the renovations proposed in the mock up, and evidence we can afford it.<br />
*** We know the price of new shelving, furniture is easy to quote. The hard part will be the wall price <br />
** Expand our library to include the vast archives of ACM journals we have in storage.<br />
** Centre of office could have a quality bar style table/chairs installed which would allow for better laptop usage, space for projects (working on hardware etc. is difficult in our currently cramped office.) <br />
** Probably at least 3 more terminals. This is a very convenient resource for students and ours are constantly in use. <br />
** More inviting atmosphere due to decrease in human density. (smelly, hot etc.)<br />
<br />
=== Testimonials ===<br />
<br />
* Testimonials from members on what CSC has done for them; from randoms on why they don't frequent the CSC.<br />
** Possible way to obtain them: include the request (magic form perhaps) in the call for renewals, send it out extra early. Caveat with this: we miss people who have registered many terms in advance. Perhaps use csc-general and apologize to the duplicate set?<br />
* Might also want: alumni testimonials, testimonials from out of town speakers about their impression of us, testimonials from faculty/recruiting people (this last one ties in to the section below)<br />
<br />
=== What the CSC brings to UW ===<br />
<br />
The school seems to be well aware of our classiness; the other day (and this is not the first time) a tour guide brought a family to our office and mentioned that we hold lots of events and bring in out of town speakers that "the university can't even get". The tour guide (not Gayle) was an adult and I imagine had no non-PR connection to the CSC.<br />
<br />
=== Why other space is not suitable* ==<br />
<br />
We may not want to include this section off the bat, but having the arguments worked out will be useful preparation.<br />
<br />
I have said before and stand by the claim that the exec office is the only viable location for extra space. The main reason being that if we had a disjoint office, there is a tendancy to pick one location and stick to it, which is a negative for club cohesion (as evidence, i present the CMC office and the terms in which it sucked away subsets of CSC members.)<br />
<br />
== Plan Implementation ==<br />
<br />
We can present this to SCS and ask that they back our plan (no work for them, they benefit indirectly and they seem to like helping us) and we schedule a meeting with the math faculty admin + MathSoc. The goal would be to come up with a suitable plan for where to move the exec office such that all parties remain happy. When framed this way, I think our case is strong: we have an obvious use for extra office space, the location of the exec office isn't vital*, and there is very likely to be some space available.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline ===<br />
<br />
* Data collection, Due Oct 15<br />
** Office usage: Get numbers from Orientation week until 2nd week of October. Store in a spreadsheet or something, at that point summary statistics are trivial.<br />
** Member statistics: can be done any time, but should be done after fall recruiting so fall numbers are accurate.<br />
** Event statistics: This one is harder, if we don't have any events before Oct 15 (which would be sad). We might also want to recall old statistics, though I trust no one's memory on these things.<br />
<br />
* Expansion plan,<br />
** Mock-up designs for wall removed, half wall, and doors in the wall should be prepared. To avoid lazy, disinterest, and interference from coursework, Due Sept 12<br />
** Quotes. Once we have a reasonable mock-up we can come up with quotes related to it. Due Sept 30th, along with any mock-up revisions that occur when we realize how goddamn expensive something is.<br />
** Detailed library inventory, size estimates, and expansion plans. This will help quantify the needed shelving and justify it. Since this is related to the [[Library Project]] and ebering wants to get it done, Due Sept 12.<br />
<br />
* Testimonials, Due Oct 15<br />
** Requests to csc-general and renewing members. We can, realistically, send these out whenever. Probably best to do it just before the start of classes, so that people are looking for school related things but also have time, say Sept 10<br />
** We should probably specify a sooner due-date in the solicitations for testimonials, say Sept 30. <br />
** Finding people who aren't normally CSCers can and should be done in two ways. There are the people who come to events but don't use the office (regardless of membership status), and people who have nothing to do with us. Should get commentary from both, but this will require a more personal approach, at least in the latter case. Try to have these in by Oct 15<br />
** Other testimonials can be collected however, should be done by Oct 15.<br />
<br />
* What the CSC Brings to UW and Why other space won't work. Due Oct 15<br />
** These are just blocks of text, but we should send them through a few draft iterates. First draft Due Sept 12, iterate from there until done.<br />
<br />
* Proposal formatting/typesetting/preparation, Due Oct 16<br />
** Once all of the above is collected, we can assemble the document. This should go rather quickly, and take a day at most.<br />
<br />
* Submit proposal and meet with SCS Week of Oct 17th.<br />
** Beyond this, planning relies on a lot of other people so here the timeline ends.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Space_Project&diff=3067Space Project2011-08-29T15:48:07Z<p>Ebering: Create so I can link to it.</p>

<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />

The Sysadmin and Office Manager positions seem to have been created somewhere in here. The 'Record Management Profile' that Robyn Stewart did as an assignment in 1991-1992 for some class at UBC<br />
indicates the existence of both positions. We acquired an HP-9000 in the summer of 1988 and as this was out first "real" computer (previously we had an IBM PC and terminal), the sysadmin position was created, starting with the Fall 1988 term.<br />

== Talks Guide ==<br />
<br />
If you find yourself in the position of wanting to run a talk for us check [[Talks Guide]]<br />
<br />
== Planned Talks (Fall 2010) ==<br />
<br />
We have (requested) booking MC4061 for a regular seminar series this term. The (flexible) time is 4:30pm on Tuesdays. Currently scheduled talks:<br />
<br />
* September 21<br />
** Dr. Prabhakar Ragde<br />
* October 4 (replaces October 5, needs a room booked)<br />

** Dr. Shai Ben David<br />
<br />
=== Out or planned invitations ===<br />
<br />
Dr. Ian Goldberg has been given an invitation, and is currently unsure of if/when he will be able to speak.<br />
<br />
Invitation will be sent to Dr. Steve Cook at UofT with high probability.<br />
<br />
Current goals seem to have a target of 5 prof talks, 2-3 outside UW talks, and 4-3 member talks as the breakdown. One outsider has been secured (Mr. Seyler). Dr. Cook makes a second, and further ideas will be discussed on the mailing list.<br />
<br />
== Possible Speakers/Talks (not yet requested) ==<br />
<br />
These are long term event ideas. For shorter term planning/selection/etc. see the progcom mailing list.<br />

* Newsgroup Forum<br />
** In 1994 we had a Newsgroup Forum. It was recorded and the recording is being digitized by AV. People involved include:<br />
*** Prabhakar Ragde<br />
*** Jeffery O. Shallit<br />
*** Ian Goldberg (as CSC President, not Professor)<br />
*** Dr. Jim Kalbfleisch<br />
*** Dr. Sally Gunz<br />
** It might be interesting to bring them back together for historical comment and relevance of the lessons learned to modern attempts at net censorship, alternately a comment on the decline of Usenet. Something to this tune.<br />
<br />

=1969-1970=<br />
<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />

<br />
there is also stuff from James W. Welch without a position. Considering his work in the founding and that the letters are speaker invitations he is, with high probability, VP this term.<br />

James B- was president in Winter 88 (signature hard to read).<br />
Tim Timar - cc'd on memos/mentioned on mathsoc minutes in 1987/88.<br />
The Sysadmin and Office Manager positions seem to have been created somewhere in here. The 'Record Management Profile' that Robyn Stewart did as an assignment in 1991-1992 for some class at UBC<br />
indicates the existence of both positions. As we acquired an HP-9000 in 1987 and this is likely our first computer (previously we only had a terminal?), the sysadmin was created then.<br />

<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />

there is also stuff from James W. Welch without a position. Considering his work in the founding and that the letters are speaker invitations he is, with high probability, VP this term.<br />

The Sysadmin and Office Manager positions seem to have been created somewhere in here. The 'Record Management Profile' that Robyn Stewart did as an assignment in 1991-1992 for some class at UBC<br />
indicates the existence of both positions. As we acquired an HP-9000 in 1987 and this is likely our first computer (previously we only had a terminal?), the sysadmin was created then.<br />

<br />
=1969-1970=<br />
<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />
<br />

there is also stuff from James W. Welch without a position. Considering his work in the founding and that the letters are speaker invitations he is, with high probability, VP this term.<br />

James B- was president in Winter 88 (signature hard to read)<br />
Tim Timar - cc'd on memos/mentioned on mathsoc minutes in 1987/88.<br />
The Sysadmin and Office Manager positions seem to have been created somewhere in here. The 'Record Management Profile' that Robyn Stewart did as an assignment in 1991-1992 for some class at UBC<br />
indicates the existence of both positions. As we acquired an HP-9000 in 1987 and this is likely our first computer (previously we only had a terminal?), the sysadmin was created then.<br />

<br />
=1969-1970=<br />
<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />

there is also stuff from James W. Welch without a position. Considering his work in the founding and that the letters are speaker invitations he is, with high probability, VP this term.<br />

<br />
=1969-1970=<br />
<br />
Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.<br />
<br />
===A note on ACM affiliation===<br />
<br />
The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970 <br />
<br />
=1971=<br />
<br />
James W. Welch is the only person sending letters for the club. Later signs them Vice-President. Continues this for most of the year. Either he was VP throughout 3 terms or we were on calendar year elections then. <br />
<br />
=1972=<br />
<br />
It appears we visited Western and Western visited us this year (there is some reference to a similar occurrence the year previous). Documents from 1973 indicate a termly exec structure, this probably goes back to 1972.<br />

there is also stuff from James W. Welch without a position. Considering his work in the founding and that the letters are speaker invitations he is, with high probability, VP this term.<br />

= Prez Notes =<br />
* bought new fridge and registered it with manufacturer (in name of Lord Calum Dalek, exec@csclub)<br />
* with CIF money ordered 2 new office chairs and a new desk (a-f, thin-client, and O2)<br />
* Power Outage on the 24,25 we had some experience booting our core servers<br />
* floor waxing on the 26th, machines and desks were dusted off<br />
* Google-sponsored programming contest was a big hit, thanks to j3camero for that<br />
<br />
== Things to do in Future Terms ==<br />
* Keys are now arranged through SCS, rather than MathSoc (except for Prez MathSock key)<br />
* Keep up the new Office Staff method and policy<br />
* We were given MEF funding for new disks for the mirror. Profs want us to mirror Fedora. Talk to Dave Gawley of CSCF who is supplying partial funding.<br />
* Monthly Meeting with MWG: good for discussion things like funding<br />
* CS Exec Meeting, UAC Meeting, we need to send reps to these '''every term'''<br />
* Need to make us a Student Chapter of the ACM again, need student members...<br />
* "CS10" lecture series that we had (mostly) in DC1304 was very successful, we need to keep up the momentum with these<br />
* Still need to ask PlantOps-maintenance people for: new shelves (CIF funding), coathooks in the walls<br />
<br />
= Veep Notes =<br />
* Gerald Sussman is coming May 24,25. Jacob Parker is the point of contact and primary organizer on progcom, with Edgar Bering helping out.<br />
* Edgar Bering is trying to get in touch with John H. Conway for a talk/panel, he will keep you posted on the efforts, and may come asking for money to support it.<br />
* DC1304 is booked for the Tuesday slot we had for CS10, they were very successful, with both prof and member talks. I suggest that as soon as you are elected you put out<br />
a call for member talks (and put one with a deadline) and get together a shortlist of professors you would like to hear from.<br />
* Edgar Bering has a cocktail of publicity scripts. They will be in a git repo in /users/exec/veep/ and handle a large portion of advertising an event, considering their spammy nature I'm not sure placing them in a public git repo is a good idea, feel free to contradict my judgment.<br />
* Open Shot is installed on Natural Flavours and is a very nice program for video editing. There is a /video directory there for storing high quality masters.<br />
* There are also nice logo templates for making title cards. A wiki article might go up on video mastering for talks.<br />
* Brennan Taylor has created a bunch of talk encoding scripts that are in the CSC git repo.<br />
* We still owe John Watrous dinner. Edgar Bering will try to make this happen, it goes on last terms budget and I believe we are still able to claim it. Double check with MathSoc and re-budget if necessary.<br />
* A CSC Frisbee team might be cool, MathSoc has funding for such things.<br />
* Code Parties are always good fun, and you can find one person to do most of the organization for them.<br />
* The membership has spoken: Last term we ran a talk a week, and they were almost always very well attended, so try to keep that pace.<br />
* Coffee and Doughnuts can be ordered from the CnD for about $30 for a talks worth, they come on a cart and everything.<br />
* There is probably more that can go here that I don't recall at this time. Feel free to ask me (Edgar Bering) any other questions you may have about the job.<br />

== Talks ==<br />
<br />
Details on pending talk activities can be found on the progcom mailing list.<br />
<br />
Confirmed invitations from:<br />
* Geoff Hinton - ebering is heading up this, Jan26, SCS funding secured.<br />
* Paul Lutus - jmsaunde is heading up this, Jan18 tentative, funding unknown, many details to be worked out asap. Talk will be done via videoconference<br />
* Gerald Sussman - j3parkerr is heading up this, May-June tentative, funding partly form SCS, should submit MEF proposal as well, multiple talks.<br />
<br />
Invitation from Conway has heard nothing :(<br />
<br />
No new invitations sent out, should do this some time in January to fill program for the rest of spring and into next fall. Ideas include the original ENIAC programmers, if they're still able.<br />
<br />
Prabhakar and Kaplan might also be willing to give talks, they make usual goto guys from the faculty. Other faculty talks (Kate Larson?) should be explored.<br />
<br />
== Contests ==<br />
<br />
j3camero ran a successful Google sponsored contest in the Fall, we had a large participation and whatnot. It was not all peaches and roses, there were lapses in implementation (not enough documentation, not well tested starter packages, engine bugs). These can be hammered out by getting more people to work on the contest, a contest committee mailing list was created for this purpose. ebering has a large amount of software for a contest, but the 90%-90% rule is coming into effect on it, much more work will be needed to get it operable. Recruiting for this task might happen over the first week of the term, but the key to a good contest is an early start on preparation.<br />
<br />
== Publicity ==<br />
<br />
The street team was a modest success, needs to be better co-ordinated. The creation of the csc-general mailing list was super effective for publicizing things, continue to use it. ebering has some scripts to aid with publicity, they still need work to be usable by anyone not him.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Term_Notes/F2009&diff=2327Term Notes/F20092009-12-31T08:36:43Z<p>Ebering: Create Page/Veep notes</p>

<hr />
<div>This document aims to provide a comprehensive list of just how to run a CSC talk from start to finish. Try to keep sections orthogonal, so that a different person could do each part knowing only that the previous part was completed correctly. This will probably not be the case for the first few drafts, but it is a good goal. Ideally the same person will do all the correspondence with the speaker, sections that have someone talking to the speaker are marked with a *. The sections are roughly in order of doing things, with earlier sections usually done before later ones.<br />
<br />
= Finding a Speaker* =<br />
<br />
There are many ways to do this: [[Talks]] has a list of cool people. You can expand it by asking club members, professors, and watching various tech news sites. Ask the current membership, progcom, and faculty advisor what they think and make a choice. This is part of the fun of putting on talks, you get to choose who to invite. Send out a few at once as not everyone can come when invited, and don't be discouraged if you get a No.<br />
<br />
In the posters git repository there is club letterhead, use this to create a nice snail mail invitation letter, and follow through with an e-mail about a month later to make sure the letter was received. Letters can be sent from MathSoc, put a natural log stamp in the lower left corner and place it in the outbox, postage will be handled. Save a copy of your letter in the speaker correspondence folder in FC1.<br />
<br />
When you get a reply from the speaker, put it in the speaker correspondence folder with the initial send out. If they said yes, create a temporary folder with the speaker's name on it for arranging talk details and a copy of the reply there as well, as it probably has details about the date. Work with the speaker to get rough dates set for travel and talk, put these in the folder with the stuff.<br />
<br />
At this time you should also try to get tentative titles and abstracts, place them in the talk folder.<br />
<br />
= Obtaining Funding =<br />
<br />
Depending on who you're applying to for funds this can be done before or after a speaker is found. MEF likes to know who and when, SCS will give you vague funding as will MathSoc. Consult the various guides for obtaning funding. Be sure to budget for transport, lodging, possibly a gift, and food for your speaker as well as venue costs: recording (if we're having someone else do it), booking fees (if any), refreshments after (if any), AV fees (for AV gear if we have to pay it); and publicity costs, FedS poster runs, posters, banners, ads, etc. Be thorough in your budgeting, and be generous, you should be asking for a maximum, not an expectation. Place a copy of the budget in the relevant talk folder so everyone else working on the talk knows what is available and what their limits are.<br />
<br />
Be sure to budget for any speaker's fee or honourarium a speaker may require.<br />
<br />
= Booking Travel* =<br />
<br />
If the speaker has asked us to book travel for them and has given good times book the travel and pay for it through the relevant method There are university travel reimbursement forms that we can use to get paid back when dealing with people who aren't MathoSoc. Try to just have one for the entire talk and keep it in the folder. When working with MathSoc have a MathSoc form in the folder. Print receipts and confirmation information and place it in the folder and send it along to the speaker. If the speaker is booking their own travel this section is irrelevant.<br />
<br />
= Booking Lodging* =<br />
<br />
If the speaker has asked us to book lodging for them make sure we can meet their requirements (and have budgeted appropriately, request more money if this is not the case) and make the reservation, put receipts in the folder, add it to the expense form (or start it, see previous) and send the information to the speaker.<br />
<br />
= Booking Transport* =<br />
<br />
The speaker will need to get around while in Waterloo. You can find someone with a car, a car service, have them cab it, or get them a rental. Make sure you've budgeted appropriately, make note of the arrangement in the folder, and inform the speaker. Also make necessary notes on the expense form (see previous).<br />
<br />
You will also need to go to ICR and get a temporary parking pass for the relevant times. This can be obtained ahead of time and should be placed in the talk's folder.<br />
<br />
= Booking Venue =<br />
<br />
There are many places on campus to host a talk. You should try to estimate the size of your audience and book appropriately, well in advance, at least 3 weeks, some places require more.<br />
<br />
== Large theatres ==<br />
<br />
There are the Humanities Theatre and Theatre of the Arts, which seat 721 and 504 respectively and can be booked from the [http://theatrecentre.uwaterloo.ca/ Theatre Centre], but cost money to operate. It shouldn't be more than $400 but call beforehand and budget appropriately. With your money you'll get a stage manager and a handful of ushers, you can work with them to arrange various things like podiums, props, spotlight work, make sure they can meet your speaker's needs.<br />
<br />
These have their own contracts and billings, work with your funder to make the arrangements, save a copy of the contract and such in the folder.<br />
<br />
== Classrooms ==<br />
<br />
Donna Schell [mailto:dschell@uwaterloo.ca dschell@uwaterloo.ca] is the administrator in charge of booking most mainline classrooms on campus. E-mail or call her to book things. She can get you anything from an Arts Lecture hall (~300) or DC Lecture hall (~200) down to MC4062 (20). She is also very helpful about who to talk to if she doesn't control what you need.<br />
<br />
== SLC ==<br />
<br />
SLC bookings go through the Turnkey desk who can be contacted [http://www.studentservices.uwaterloo.ca/slc/contactus.htm here] if you want the great hall or the multipurpose room or something.<br />
<br />
== MathSoc Space ==<br />
<br />
MathSoc has a Comfy Lounge, the CnD Lounge, and the Balcony which can be booked by talking to them in their Exec office. The Comfy can be booked 6pm-2am M-F and 8am-2am Sat/Sun, or other times if the MathSoc Exec approves. Watch out for MathSoc Movie and Games nights, these tend to take the comfy on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The CnD lounge has the same weekend hours and CnD close to 2am during the week, and again MathSoc Exec can override. At present the Balcony is closed, however a booking policy should show up soon. Check MathSoc policy 24 for more details.<br />
<br />
== MC 5th Floor ==<br />
<br />
These bookings go through the Dean's Secretary usually at x33707 though you should check first. MC5158 and MC5136B are particularly nice looking rooms.<br />
<br />
== ICR Rooms ==<br />
<br />
We can't actually book these (sad). Talk to our Faculty advisor to book them, these are best booked far in advance. The same process applies for the fishbowl, if you want a reception afterwards.<br />
<br />
== Labs ==<br />
<br />
Call Cheryl at x32191 if you want to book CSCF Labs in MC. Have the room number ready, as she doesn't have a list of what labs are what. For reference: MC2038 is the big Unix Lab by the loading dock, MC3003 is the Digimon lab (big mac lab). If you want a smaller one just check.<br />
<br />
= Publicity =<br />
<br />
See [[Publicity Guide]] for how to publicize events in general. Use the talk folder to hold draft posters, photocopy them and place them in the poster box to send them out. You should really read the publicity guide though, theres a lot more than just posters.<br />
<br />
= Arrange Refreshments =<br />
<br />
The Math CnD can cater things at somewhat reasonable rates if you would like to take a traditional tack and serve tea and doughnuts at talks. They require booking in advance, talk to the CnD manager to get a form. Other options are to arrange pizza or stuff from Timmies. Whatever you do make appropriate note in the talk folder and save a copy of the request/invoice/receipt there.<br />
<br />
= Preparing AV =<br />
<br />
[http://av.uwaterloo.ca/ AV] can record talks, they also have keys to the podium for projectors and other AV equipment that is useful. Anything needed from them should be booked two weeks in advanced, and planned for so that there is budget. MathSoc is another fine provider of AV equipment. We also have some of our own AV gear.<br />
<br />
== Talk Recording ==<br />
<br />
Before going through hoops make sure the speaker consents to a recording. Most do, but its not only polite to ask, legally you have to.<br />
<br />
To book a talk recording call Media Production. They can be kind of hard to work with at times but they produce good results ish? Recording costs about $30+materials, and you can get the results as a DVD or on miniDV.<br />
<br />
Alternately we have a camera, you can record the talk yourself. It lives in the safe, with auxiliary materials in FC2 and a tripod on the gear shelf by MathSoc. Part of the auxiliary materials is a wireless mic, have the speaker wear it and hook it up to the camera. Make sure it has fresh batteries, and if you can hook the camera up to an outlet for the talk. Try to get the speaker and the slides (DC1302 is particularly good for this) and check the white balance and lighting before hand. Set up about ten minutes before the talk to get everything squared away with the speaker. Bring extra tape just in case, and be sure the tape is rewound.<br />
<br />
== Presentation Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Projectors are in classrooms under the control of AV, we can book a key from them through our faculty advisor, talk to them about this. Also talk to the faculty advisor about getting access to the projectors in ICR rooms. Of the 5th floor rooms only MC5158 has a projector, but it is freely available. If you're in a theatre talk to the stage manager, they'll take care of it. If for some reason a room doesn't have a projector one can be booked from MathSoc. For other AV gear talk to AV as we don't use it often and don't really know where to get it. Another option is FedS but this has not been researched.<br />
<br />
= Find a Photographer =<br />
<br />
While we haven't been doing this it would be nice to have photographs from the talks, of the audience, of the exec with the speaker, etc. beyond just stills from the camera that was rolling during the talk. Find someone to take these pictures and make sure they'll be there.<br />
<br />
= Holding the Talk* =<br />
<br />
This is where all the preparation comes together. If you followed all the previous this part should be easy. The person generally in charge of the talk (who is usually also the person talking to the speaker, but equally usually the veep) should meet the speaker (if they haven't been met already) and make sure they're around a half hour before hand or so. Get to the room as early as the booking allows and set up. Whoever is handling AV should either make sure the UWAV person has everything they need to record or set up the camera and check it out with the speaker. Make sure the speaker's AV presentation needs are tended to. Check with the refreshments person to ensure they will arrive when you want them to. Give the crowd time to settle, and when they have introduce the speaker. Enjoy the talk. After the speaker is done applaud, then stand up and thank them for their work, give them a gift if you have one. Offer the audience refreshments and invite them to informal discussion after the talk with the speaker (either in the same room or in some lobby type place, depending on size). Invite the speaker out to dinner if you have not already (this is after the informal discussion). Ensure the speaker's expenses have been tended to. Get a photo with the exec and the speaker. Clean up the room and lock things.<br />
<br />
= Aftermath = <br />
<br />
Once a talk is over things aren't done. Equipment needs to be returned, accounts settled, video encoded and uploaded, etc.<br />
<br />
== AV ==<br />
<br />
First, return any borrowed equipment/keys. If the talk has been recorded, follow [[Talk Archive]] and [[Talk Publication]] to archive and publicize the talk. If you put it on the website advertise it on slashdot, reddit, etc. whatever is popular these days. We can usually get to the front page and get all sorts of epic press.<br />
<br />
== Settling Accounts ==<br />
<br />
Make sure that people have been paid back, and that money has been collected from financiers. If you tracked things well in the talk folder it should be one form that the Treasurer can take and deal with, and file away.<br />
<br />
== Archival ==<br />
<br />
In addition to video archive make sure that all the steps of [[Talk Archive]] are followed to create an archive entry for the talk.<br />
<br />
== Settling with the speaker* ==<br />
<br />
Send them a letter of thanks on letterhead. Remind them that we would enjoy their presence again if they would like to return. Ask them if they would like a copy of our archive entry and send it if they ask for it.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Propaganda&diff=2123Propaganda2009-08-05T02:55:56Z<p>Ebering: Updating info about our propaganda</p>

<hr />
<div>In Winter 2009 Ebering got a mind to create a comprehensive archive of our talks on backup media as well as online on our mirror. We have a huge stack of miniDV tapes in various states of catalouge and label, and random other video media, all in file cabinet 2. We also have old correspondence with speakers taking us back to the late 70's documenting that talks happened, and to some degree their contents. [[http://av.uwaterloo.ca/ AV]] might have some of our old talks in their archive, this is yet to be investigated.<br />
<br />
= Location =<br />
<br />
This is to be determined. It might go in FC2, thats where the raw materials are. It might go in binders on the shelf. Once the archive begins to come together this can be solved, it is a nonissue at present.<br />
<br />
= Format =<br />
<br />
Ebering suggests we have an archive quality DVD (or more than one if needed) contain a hi-res encode of the video (something encoded by ffmpeg with -sameq) as well as pdfs of the related posters and any flashy letters sent (detail e-mails need not be included, but the initial invitation letter and any thankyou letters) and photographs of the event/speaker with the club. These would be kept with a digital metadata file (something called index and in some standard format that can be figured out once we move forward) and a hardcopy acid-free index card written (or printed) in some good ink containing the same. The DVDs should have minimal labeling, done with water based pen ink (alcohol based inks can fuck em up), perhaps some kind of minimal serial number to associate them with cards.<br />
<br />
Talks should be in chronological order quite obviously, divisions could be by year or by term, depending on density and such.<br />
<br />
== Metadata we want to keep ==<br />
<br />
* Date, Time, Year<br />
* Speaker<br />
* Location<br />
* Abstract<br />
* Length<br />
* File Manifest<br />
<br />
= Materials =<br />
<br />
We need stuff to keep the archives on and in. Ideally they would be high quality archival grade stuff so that in 2069 or whatever our grandchildren can release a comprehensive collection. <br />
<br />
* Archival grade DVDs: [[http://secure.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=19618&vpn=95355&manufacture=VERBATIM]] Better price [[http://www.onhop.ca/product/1009651/95355/50PK_ULTRALIFE_GOLD_8X_DVD-R_4.7GB_SPINDLE]]<br />
* CD Inserts w/index card slots: [[http://www.disk-store.com/]] model CD1030<br />
* Acid Free Archival index cards (don't want ink fading and crap): [[http://www.archivalmethods.com/product.cfm?productid=101]]<br />
* Either a good printer or good pens for putting data on the cards.<br />
* Binders or folders to keep the DVD inserts in. We have space in FC2.<br />
<br />
= Things to Archive =<br />
<br />
We have a vast collection of old media in FC2. There is probably old media elsewhere as well.<br />
<br />
== Stuff on the mirror ==<br />
<br />
On the mirror there is a csclub directory. Most of those talks have corresponding DV tapes (see below) but some might not, also there may be slides corresponding to talks there. The club website will also have useful things for reconstructing posters if necessary (old abstracts, time/date/etc if we're sure a new-style poster was used).<br />
<br />
== miniDV tapes ==<br />
<br />
These are from once we got our very nice sony handycam we think. They're also the standard for AV as of this writing and we sometimes have gotten them from them (this has happened at least once). A lot of them have already been ripped in, some of the ripped talks may have been overwritten as we were short on tape. While this is unfortunate we can still create an archive. They need to have contents cataloged, ripped, and associated media found and put on to DVD.<br />
<br />
== Video8 tapes ==<br />
<br />
We have two 8mm Video8 tapes. They contain a forum on newsgroups in 1994. Ebering has sent them to AV for conversion to DVD. We also have associated with this forum archives of memos re the alt hierarchy being canceled. Having not watched the video Ebering not sure of the relation, but they're probably related. We should scan the memos in if they are.<br />
<br />
== VHS tapes ==<br />
<br />
We seem to have 4 VHSes of a Larry Smith talk, as well as one of a talk on VR. We should talk to AV about having them digitize these so we can archive them.<br />
<br />
== Older Talks ==<br />
<br />
We have records (that include approximate dates) of many older talks. It is possible that AV recorded them. Someone should ask them, and get DVDs where possible. Also, some mention of the archive project should go out if we ever have an [[Alumni Project]] take off.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Talks&diff=2004Talks2009-04-16T02:54:07Z<p>Ebering: </p>

<div>This document aims to provide a comprehensive list of just how to run a CSC talk from start to finish. Try to keep sections orthogonal, so that a different person could do each part knowing only that the previous part was completed correctly. This will probably not be the case for the first few drafts, but it is a good goal. Ideally the same person will do all the correspondence with the speaker, sections that have someone talking to the speaker are marked with a *. The sections are roughly in order of doing things, with earlier sections usually done before later ones.<br />
<br />
= Finding a Speaker* =<br />
<br />
There are many ways to do this: [[Talks]] has a list of cool people. You can expand it by asking club members, professors, and watching various tech news sites. Ask the current membership, progcom, and faculty advisor what they think and make a choice. This is part of the fun of putting on talks, you get to choose who to invite. Send out a few at once as not everyone can come when invited, and don't be discouraged if you get a No.<br />
<br />
In the posters git repository there is club letterhead, use this to create a nice snail mail invitation letter, and follow through with an e-mail about a month later to make sure the letter was received. Letters can be sent from MathSoc, put a natural log stamp in the lower left corner and place it in the outbox, postage will be handled. Save a copy of your letter in the speaker correspondence folder in FC1.<br />
<br />
When you get a reply from the speaker, put it in the speaker correspondence folder with the initial send out. If they said yes, create a temporary folder with the speaker's name on it for arranging talk details and a copy of the reply there as well, as it probably has details about the date. Work with the speaker to get rough dates set for travel and talk, put these in the folder with the stuff.<br />
<br />
At this time you should also try to get tentative titles and abstracts, place them in the talk folder.<br />
<br />
= Obtaining Funding =<br />
<br />
Depending on who you're applying to for funds this can be done before or after a speaker is found. MEF likes to know who and when, SCS will give you vague funding as will MathSoc. Consult the various guides for obtaning funding. Be sure to budget for transport, lodging, possibly a gift, and food for your speaker as well as venue costs: recording (if we're having someone else do it), booking fees (if any), refreshments after (if any), AV fees (for AV gear if we have to pay it); and publicity costs, FedS poster runs, posters, banners, ads, etc. Be thorough in your budgeting, and be generous, you should be asking for a maximum, not an expectation. Place a copy of the budget in the relevant talk folder so everyone else working on the talk knows what is available and what their limits are.<br />
<br />
Be sure to budget for any speaker's fee or honourarium a speaker may require.<br />
<br />
= Booking Travel* =<br />
<br />
If the speaker has asked us to book travel for them and has given good times book the travel and pay for it through the relevant method There are university travel reimbursement forms that we can use to get paid back when dealing with people who aren't MathoSoc. Try to just have one for the entire talk and keep it in the folder. When working with MathSoc have a MathSoc form in the folder. Print receipts and confirmation information and place it in the folder and send it along to the speaker. If the speaker is booking their own travel this section is irrelevant.<br />
<br />
= Booking Lodging* =<br />
<br />
If the speaker has asked us to book lodging for them make sure we can meet their requirements (and have budgeted appropriately, request more money if this is not the case) and make the reservation, put receipts in the folder, add it to the expense form (or start it, see previous) and send the information to the speaker.<br />
<br />
= Booking Transport* =<br />
<br />
The speaker will need to get around while in Waterloo. You can find someone with a car, a car service, have them cab it, or get them a rental. Make sure you've budgeted appropriately, make note of the arrangement in the folder, and inform the speaker. Also make necessary notes on the expense form (see previous).<br />
<br />
You will also need to go to ICR and get a temporary parking pass for the relevant times. This can be obtained ahead of time and should be placed in the talk's folder.<br />
<br />
= Booking Venue =<br />
<br />
There are many places on campus to host a talk. You should try to estimate the size of your audience and book appropriately, well in advance, at least 3 weeks, some places require more.<br />
<br />
== Large theatres ==<br />
<br />
There are the Humanities Theatre and Theatre of the Arts, which seat 721 and 504 respectively and can be booked from the [http://theatrecentre.uwaterloo.ca/ Theatre Centre], but cost money to operate. It shouldn't be more than $400 but call beforehand and budget appropriately. With your money you'll get a stage manager and a handful of ushers, you can work with them to arrange various things like podiums, props, spotlight work, make sure they can meet your speaker's needs.<br />
<br />
These have their own contracts and billings, work with your funder to make the arrangements, save a copy of the contract and such in the folder.<br />
<br />
== Classrooms ==<br />
<br />
Donna Schell [mailto:dschell@uwaterloo.ca dschell@uwaterloo.ca] is the administrator in charge of booking most mainline classrooms on campus. E-mail or call her to book things. She can get you anything from an Arts Lecture hall (~300) or DC Lecture hall (~200) down to MC4062 (20). She is also very helpful about who to talk to if she doesn't control what you need.<br />
<br />
== SLC ==<br />
<br />
SLC bookings go through the Turnkey desk who can be contacted [http://www.studentservices.uwaterloo.ca/slc/contactus.htm here] if you want the great hall or the multipurpose room or something.<br />
<br />
== MC 5th Floor ==<br />
<br />
These bookings go through the Dean's Secretary usually at x33707 though you should check first. MC5158 and MC5136B are particularly nice looking rooms.<br />
<br />
== ICR Rooms ==<br />
<br />
We can't actually book these (sad). Talk to our Faculty advisor to book them, these are best booked far in advance. The same process applies for the fishbowl, if you want a reception afterwards.<br />
<br />
= Publicity =<br />
<br />
See [[Publicity Guide]] for how to publicize events in general. Use the talk folder to hold draft posters, photocopy them and place them in the poster box to send them out. You should really read the publicity guide though, theres a lot more than just posters.<br />
<br />
= Arrange Refreshments =<br />
<br />
The Math CnD can cater things at somewhat reasonable rates if you would like to take a traditional tack and serve tea and doughnuts at talks. They require booking in advance, talk to the CnD manager to get a form. Other options are to arrange pizza or stuff from Timmies. Whatever you do make appropriate note in the talk folder and save a copy of the request/invoice/receipt there.<br />
<br />
= Preparing AV =<br />
<br />
[http://av.uwaterloo.ca/ AV] can record talks, they also have keys to the podium for projectors and other AV equipment that is useful. Anything needed from them should be booked two weeks in advanced, and planned for so that there is budget. MathSoc is another fine provider of AV equipment. We also have some of our own AV gear.<br />
<br />
== Talk Recording ==<br />
<br />
Before going through hoops make sure the speaker consents to a recording. Most do, but its not only polite to ask, legally you have to.<br />
<br />
To book a talk recording call Media Production. They can be kind of hard to work with at times but they produce good results ish? Recording costs about $30+materials, and you can get the results as a DVD or on miniDV.<br />
<br />
Alternately we have a camera, you can record the talk yourself. It lives in the safe, with auxiliary materials in FC2 and a tripod on the gear shelf by MathSoc. Part of the auxiliary materials is a wireless mic, have the speaker wear it and hook it up to the camera. Make sure it has fresh batteries, and if you can hook the camera up to an outlet for the talk. Try to get the speaker and the slides (DC1302 is particularly good for this) and check the white balance and lighting before hand. Set up about ten minutes before the talk to get everything squared away with the speaker. Bring extra tape just in case, and be sure the tape is rewound.<br />
<br />
== Presentation Equipment ==<br />
<br />
Projectors are in classrooms under the control of AV, we can book a key from them through our faculty advisor, talk to them about this. Also talk to the faculty advisor about getting access to the projectors in ICR rooms. Of the 5th floor rooms only MC5158 has a projector, but it is freely available. If you're in a theatre talk to the stage manager, they'll take care of it. If for some reason a room doesn't have a projector one can be booked from MathSoc. For other AV gear talk to AV as we don't use it often and don't really know where to get it. Another option is FedS but this has not been researched.<br />
<br />
= Find a Photographer =<br />
<br />
While we haven't been doing this it would be nice to have photographs from the talks, of the audience, of the exec with the speaker, etc. beyond just stills from the camera that was rolling during the talk. Find someone to take these pictures and make sure they'll be there.<br />
<br />
= Holding the Talk* =<br />
<br />
This is where all the preparation comes together. If you followed all the previous this part should be easy. The person generally in charge of the talk (who is usually also the person talking to the speaker, but equally usually the veep) should meet the speaker (if they haven't been met already) and make sure they're around a half hour before hand or so. Get to the room as early as the booking allows and set up. Whoever is handling AV should either make sure the UWAV person has everything they need to record or set up the camera and check it out with the speaker. Make sure the speaker's AV presentation needs are tended to. Check with the refreshments person to ensure they will arrive when you want them to. Give the crowd time to settle, and when they have introduce the speaker. Enjoy the talk. After the speaker is done applaud, then stand up and thank them for their work, give them a gift if you have one. Offer the audience refreshments and invite them to informal discussion after the talk with the speaker (either in the same room or in some lobby type place, depending on size). Invite the speaker out to dinner if you have not already (this is after the informal discussion). Ensure the speaker's expenses have been tended to. Get a photo with the exec and the speaker. Clean up the room and lock things.<br />
<br />
= Aftermath = <br />
<br />
Once a talk is over things aren't done. Equipment needs to be returned, accounts settled, video encoded and uploaded, etc.<br />
<br />
== AV ==<br />
<br />
First, return any borrowed equipment/keys. If the talk has been recorded, follow [[Talk Archive]] and [[Talk Publication]] to archive and publicize the talk. If you put it on the website advertise it on slashdot, reddit, etc. whatever is popular these days. We can usually get to the front page and get all sorts of epic press.<br />
<br />
== Settling Accounts ==<br />
<br />
Make sure that people have been paid back, and that money has been collected from financiers. If you tracked things well in the talk folder it should be one form that the Treasurer can take and deal with, and file away.<br />
<br />
== Archival ==<br />
<br />
In addition to video archive make sure that all the steps of [[Talk Archive]] are followed to create an archive entry for the talk.<br />
<br />
== Settling with the speaker* ==<br />
<br />
Send them a letter of thanks on letterhead. Remind them that we would enjoy their presence again if they would like to return. Ask them if they would like a copy of our archive entry and send it if they ask for it.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Talks_Guide&diff=2002Talks Guide2009-04-16T01:56:48Z<p>Ebering: Initial Write.</p>

<br />
Once a talk is over things aren't done. This will be documented in the second draft when [[User:Ebering]] returns from Timmies.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Talk_Archive&diff=2001Talk Archive2009-04-16T00:27:52Z<p>Ebering: </p>
<hr />
<div>In Winter 2009 Ebering got a mind to create a comprehensive archive of our talks on backup media as well as online on our mirror. We have a huge stack of miniDV tapes in various states of catalouge and label, and random other video media, all in file cabinet 2. We also have old correspondence with speakers taking us back to the late 70's documenting that talks happened, and to some degree their contents. [[http://av.uwaterloo.ca/ AV]] might have some of our old talks in their archive, this is yet to be investigated.<br />
<br />
= Location =<br />
<br />
This is to be determined. It might go in FC2, thats where the raw materials are. It might go in binders on the shelf. Once the archive begins to come together this can be solved, it is a nonissue at present.<br />
<br />
= Format =<br />
<br />
Ebering suggests we have an archive quality DVD (or more than one if needed) contain a hi-res encode of the video (something encoded by ffmpeg with -sameq) as well as pdfs of the related posters and any flashy letters sent (detail e-mails need not be included, but the initial invitation letter and any thankyou letters) and photographs of the event/speaker with the club. These would be kept with a digital metadata file (something called index and in some standard format that can be figured out once we move forward) and a hardcopy acid-free index card written (or printed) in some good ink containing the same. The DVDs should have minimal labeling, done with water based pen ink (alcohol based inks can fuck em up), perhaps some kind of minimal serial number to associate them with cards.<br />
<br />
Talks should be in chronological order quite obviously, divisions could be by year or by term, depending on density and such.<br />
<br />
== Metadata we want to keep ==<br />
<br />
* Date, Time, Year<br />
* Speaker<br />
* Location<br />
* Abstract<br />
* Length<br />
* File Manifest<br />
<br />
= Materials =<br />
<br />
We need stuff to keep the archives on and in. Ideally they would be high quality archival grade stuff so that in 2069 or whatever our grandchildren can release a comprehensive collection. <br />
<br />
* Archival grade DVDs: [[http://secure.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=19618&vpn=95355&manufacture=VERBATIM]]<br />
* CD Inserts w/index card slots: [[http://www.disk-store.com/]] model CD1030<br />
* Acid Free Archival index cards (don't want ink fading and crap): [[http://www.archivalmethods.com/product.cfm?productid=101]]<br />
* Either a good printer or good pens for putting data on the cards.<br />
* Binders or folders to keep the DVD inserts in. We have space in FC2.<br />
<br />
= Things to Archive =<br />
<br />
We have a vast collection of old media in FC2. There is probably old media elsewhere as well.<br />
<br />
== Stuff on the mirror ==<br />
<br />
On the mirror there is a csclub directory. Most of those talks have corresponding DV tapes (see below) but some might not, also there may be slides corresponding to talks there. The club website will also have useful things for reconstructing posters if necessary (old abstracts, time/date/etc if we're sure a new-style poster was used).<br />
<br />
== miniDV tapes ==<br />
<br />
These are from once we got our very nice sony handycam we think. They're also the standard for AV as of this writing and we sometimes have gotten them from them (this has happened at least once). A lot of them have already been ripped in, some of the ripped talks may have been overwritten as we were short on tape. While this is unfortunate we can still create an archive. They need to have contents cataloged, ripped, and associated media found and put on to DVD.<br />
<br />
== Video8 tapes ==<br />
<br />
We have two 8mm Video8 tapes. They contain a forum on newsgroups in 1994. Ebering has sent them to AV for conversion to DVD. We also have associated with this forum archives of memos re the alt hierarchy being canceled. Having not watched the video Ebering not sure of the relation, but they're probably related. We should scan the memos in if they are.<br />
<br />
== VHS tapes ==<br />
<br />
We seem to have 4 VHSes of a Larry Smith talk, as well as one of a talk on VR. We should talk to AV about having them digitize these so we can archive them.<br />
<br />
== Older Talks ==<br />
<br />
We have records (that include approximate dates) of many older talks. It is possible that AV recorded them. Someone should ask them, and get DVDs where possible. Also, some mention of the archive project should go out if we ever have an [[Alumni Project]] take off.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Talks&diff=2000Talks2009-04-16T00:12:29Z<p>Ebering: </p>

<div>It might be nice to get in touch with our alumni. We have memberlists going back to 73 or so, and the old alums are still alive so we might be able to complete our records back into the late 60s. It might also be nice to have a quarterly newsletter to them and to solicit talks, donations, and in general build an active alum community. Since this year is either our 50th or 51st anniversary, we should leverage the reunion technologies if possible. The memberlists are in FC1 under the tab old memberlists until they become digital. <br />
<br />
This will be a big project, perhaps an enterprising President could contact the [[http://alumni.uwaterloo.ca/alumni/ Office of Alumni Affairs]] for help or something.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Projects&diff=1997Projects2009-04-15T23:51:14Z<p>Ebering: </p>

<hr />
<div>In Winter 2009 Ebering got a mind to create a comprehensive archive of our talks on backup media as well as online on our mirror. We have a huge stack of miniDV tapes in various states of catalouge and label, and random other video media, all in file cabinet 2. We also have old correspondence with speakers taking us back to the late 70's documenting that talks happened, and to some degree their contents. [[http://av.uwaterloo.ca/ AV]] might have some of our old talks in their archive, this is yet to be investigated.<br />
<br />
= Location =<br />
<br />
This is to be determined. It might go in FC2, thats where the raw materials are. It might go in binders on the shelf. Once the archive begins to come together this can be solved, it is a nonissue at present.<br />
<br />
= Format =<br />
<br />
Ebering suggests we have an archive quality DVD (or more than one if needed) contain a hi-res encode of the video (something encoded by ffmpeg with -sameq) as well as pdfs of the related posters and any flashy letters sent (detail e-mails need not be included, but the initial invitation letter and any thankyou letters) and photographs of the event/speaker with the club. These would be kept with a digital metadata file (something called index and in some standard format that can be figured out once we move forward) and a hardcopy acid-free index card written (or printed) in some good ink containing the same. The DVDs should have minimal labeling, done with water based pen ink (alcohol based inks can fuck em up), perhaps some kind of minimal serial number to associate them with cards.<br />
<br />
Talks should be in chronological order quite obviously, divisions could be by year or by term, depending on density and such.<br />
<br />
== Metadata we want to keep ==<br />
<br />
* Date, Time, Year<br />
* Speaker<br />
* Location<br />
* Abstract<br />
* Length<br />
* File Manifest<br />
<br />
= Materials =<br />
<br />
We need stuff to keep the archives on and in. Ideally they would be high quality archival grade stuff so that in 2069 or whatever our grandchildren can release a comprehensive collection. <br />
<br />
* Archival grade DVDs: [[http://secure.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=19618&vpn=95355&manufacture=VERBATIM]]<br />
* CD Inserts w/index card slots: [[http://www.disk-store.com/]] model CD1030<br />
* Acid Free Archival index cards (don't want ink fading and crap): [[http://www.archivalmethods.com/product.cfm?productid=101]]<br />
* Either a good printer or good pens for putting data on the cards.<br />
* Binders or folders to keep the DVD inserts in. We have space in FC2.<br />
<br />
= Things to Archive =<br />
<br />
We have a vast collection of old media in FC2. There is probably old media elsewhere as well.<br />
<br />
== miniDV tapes ==<br />
<br />
These are from once we got our very nice sony handycam we think. They're also the standard for AV as of this writing and we sometimes have gotten them from them (this has happened at least once). A lot of them have already been ripped in, some of the ripped talks may have been overwritten as we were short on tape. While this is unfortunate we can still create an archive. They need to have contents cataloged, ripped, and associated media found and put on to DVD.<br />
<br />
== Video8 tapes ==<br />
<br />
We have two 8mm Video8 tapes. They contain a forum on newsgroups in 1994. Ebering has sent them to AV for conversion to DVD. We also have associated with this forum archives of memos re the alt hierarchy being canceled. Having not watched the video Ebering not sure of the relation, but they're probably related. We should scan the memos in if they are.<br />
<br />
== VHS tapes ==<br />
<br />
We seem to have 4 VHSes of a Larry Smith talk, as well as one of a talk on VR. We should talk to AV about having them digitize these so we can archive them.<br />
<br />
== Older Talks ==<br />
<br />
We have records (that include approximate dates) of many older talks. It is possible that AV recorded them. Someone should ask them, and get DVDs where possible. Also, some mention of the archive project should go out if we ever have an [[Alumni Project]] take off.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Term_Notes/S2009&diff=1995Term Notes/S20092009-04-15T22:53:02Z<p>Ebering: </p>

# We sent out 5 letters so far inviting people to give talks, but during the remainder of exams Ebering will probably send more. See [[Talks]].<br />

# UW AV Is slow.<br />
# SCS Gives us money for talks. You might spend some of it and do a big talk from an out of town lecturer, like one of the ones we invited.

== Reminders for Veep == <br />
<br />
# MEF Has given us $600 to purchase a digital cutter and adobe illustrator. These need to be purchased, and billed to MEF.<br />
<br />
Done. Cutter documented at [[Digital Cutter]].<br />
<br />
# Joel Spolsky is coming on Jan 22. His hotel has been arranged by ebering. A room needs to be booked. Funding is from MEF.<br />
<br />
Joel came, we had a good time, monies were changed about and the talk was recorded. He's a nice guy, fills a room.<br />
<br />
# We have funding to bring Michael Geist, however we need to finish tagging up with him.<br />
<br />
Geist backed out.<br />
<br />
# RMS is coming on Jan 29. His accommodations are likely to be handled by someone in Toronto, but if they back out we'll need to find a place for him. HH Theatre has been booked tentatively, pending conformation with RMS for changing the talk time. If he doesn't agree we need to book AL. All of it.<br />
<br />
This was madness. But it happened and is done.<br />
<br />
# Craig Kaplan has agreed to give us a series of lectures on NPR and computer generated abstract geometry, using our shiny new digital cutter. Be sure we work with him to run these.<br />
<br />
This ended up as one talk which was successful and recorded. See [[Talks]] for future collaboration ideas.<br />
<br />
# The IQC really wants to give us talks, they like us. Make sure they're spoken to, mgregson has sent out the preliminary invitation.<br />
<br />
These happened as talks and lab tours and a potential future arrangement.<br />
<br />
# Unix tutorials are currently available on the page given in the F2008 term notes, if ebering moves them yell at him. Also, try and expand on the body of knowledge, a unix 103 and 104 would be nice.<br />
<br />
Didn't get expanded, but were held.<br />
<br />
# /users/exec/veep/* has more things of use/interest including publicity tools and specific templates for putting together events.<br />
<br />
It actually doesn't. I (Ebering) should get on fixing that...<br />
<br />
== Reminders for Librarian ==<br />
<br />
# The books were scanned in, cataloged, categorized, and shelved in an orderly fashion. See [[Library project]] for the current status.<br />
# There is a large deficiency between the library, modern reference, and the current curriculum, perhaps a MEF proposal to correct this.</div>Eberinghttps://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Talks&diff=1987Talks2009-04-12T23:48:08Z<p>Ebering: </p>

<hr />
<div>In F08 MEF Generously gave us a Digital Cutter device along with Adobe Illustrator so we could do all sorts of cool machine aided design/machine rendered vector graphics/random whargarbl. Craig Kaplan has one too and will give a talk or tutorial if asked very nicely. The gist of the device, if you have no clue as to what it is, is a plotter with a knife (though you can also put a pen in it and plot things...).<br />
<br />
= Hardware =<br />
<br />
The cutter came with a few physical things that we'd like to keep around. These things<br />
are kept on the shelves above guarana.<br />
<br />
* Cutter device <br />
** looks like a small printer, is the actual thing, kept on the shelf above guarana<br />
* Cutting surface<br />
** paper sized piece of plastic with adhesive on it<br />
* Cutting heads and pen tip <br />
** small parts in a little baggie taped to the cutter<br />
* USB B-USB A cable<br />
* Power Supply<br />
* Manual - This is important, it has a table of information about various cutting media that I don't want to retype.<br />
* Full page sticker sheets<br />
<br />
= Use =<br />
<br />
If you have a vector graphic you'd like to cut out follow these steps for great success:<br />
<br />
== Physical Preparation ==<br />
<br />
# Get the device down from the shelf and plug it in, hook it up to guarana if we have a usb hub, or wait until you're ready to<br />
cut to unplug the mouse or keyboard and hook it up.<br />
# Get the cutting mat down and remove the protective cover stuck to it (a sheet or two of paper), if the manual indicates you should<br />
use the mat.<br />
# There should be a sticker sheet on the mat with the sticker adhesive up. If there isn't or if its old and damaged replace it. Take the backing off then cut two thin strips of paper and put them on the sides as tracks for the guide wheels so what you're cutting doesn't get stuck.<br />
# Select the proper cutting tip according to the chart in the manual and attach it to the knife, take care not to cut yourself.<br />
# Replace the knife in the orientation specified by the instructions inside the cutter.<br />
# Feed in the cutting media using the feed knob on the left of the cutter<br />
<br />
== Linux use ==<br />
<br />
Generate a post script in some way. Don't worry about color and fill commands these are ignored. A path is stroked by the knife cutting that path, so take care as to where your paths go, use a program like Inkscape to check this. Or if you have an svg convert it to postscript with Inkscape. Once you have your target postscript print it with the following command<br />
<br />
graphtecprint < foo.ps<br />
<br />
We might configrue cups to print by piping the postscript to graphtecprint or some other shenanigains. Anyway when it runs it will give you a graphical prompt with preview. Pick your paper size and cutting media appropriately, making any manual configuration changes you feel necessary to cutting speed and pressure. Hit print and watch the cutter cut.<br />
<br />
== OS X use ==<br />
<br />
Since guarana has OS X you can use the cutter from there as well. Load the vector graphic in Adobe Illustrator then use the cutting plugin (called Craft ROBO). Follow the steps in the dialouge box which will look remarkably similar to the graphtecprint command's one and cut. <br />
<br />
== Cleanup ==<br />
<br />
When you'r<br />
Jump to: navigation, search<br />
<br />
We have a Sony DCRHC20 came done put the cutter away as you found it. Be sure to leave a sheet of paper or two stuck to the adhesive mat to protect it and extend its lifetime, throw out your cutting scraps etc.<br />

<hr />
<div>= President =<br />
This section covers various useful notes for the CSC president, ranging from who to call for room bookings to when the term should end. I'll rant some more later.<br />
<br />
== What to do ==<br />
<br />
The President is the person responsible. As ungrammatical as that may seem, it is exactly accurate. He or she is responsible to make certain that everything the CSC is involved in gets proper attention. Specifically, the President's duties are:<br />
<br />
* to call and preside at all general, special, and executive meetings of the Club;<br />
<br />
* to appoint all committees of the Club and the committee chair of such committees, except the chair of the Programme Committee;<br />
<br />
* to audit, or to appoint a representative to audit, the financial records of the club at the end of each academic term.<br />
<br />
Wherever possible, the President should delegate tasks to others. Not doing this can overburden the President.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
<br />
As listed above the president is responsible for appointing committee chair's and other positions. So, it is basically up to the president to decide whether or not there is an explicit office staff. How do people become office staff? Must the office close every day? What do the members expect to get out of the club in this term?<br />
<br />
== MathSoc ==<br />
<br />
The CSC is a MathSoc club as such you should know the [http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/pinkbook.php MathSoc club policies] and know that the president is a non-voting member of MathSoc council, like MathSoc directors.<br />
<br />
== SCS ==<br />
<br />
See [[SCS Guide]] for how to deal with the School of Computer Science.<br />
<br />
== Planning events ==<br />
<br />
Planning events is a useful thing to know, so go read the Vice-President's section.<br />
<br />
= Vice President =<br />
This section covers various useful notes for the CSC vice president, ranging from who to call for room bookings to how to promote your events.<br />
<br />
== Planning events ==<br />
<br />
So, you're the CSC Vice President and you want to (hopefully) have the CSC host some really cool events this term. This chapter should help you get started with that. For starters, the most important thing to remember is this: plan your events early!. I recommend about 2 to 3 weeks in advance. This rough timeline should help:<br />
<br />
* 2-3 weeks in advance: Get a title and abstract for the event from the speaker as well as a date and time.<br />
<br />
* 2 weeks in advance: Book the room and any necessary equipment (projectors etc). Make posters for the event. Make initial announcements on Usenet and possibly by e-mail.<br />
<br />
* 2 Days in advance: E-mail Chris Redmond (credmond@uwaterloo.ca) to get the event into the Daily Bulletin. Include a short (one-paragraph) description.<br />
<br />
* 1 day in advance: Speak with ICR (in DC, first floor) about getting the speaker a parking pass if needed.<br />
<br />
* Day of the event: Try to be at the event, or find someone who will be to make sure things go smoothly. Remember to get the projector if necessary. If there are people in the room you booked, ask them to leave politely. Mention that you have the room booked. Get refreshments to the room as necessary. Introduce the speaker.<br />
<br />
* After the event: Thank the speaker in front of the audience and applaud. Offer to take the speaker out for dinner. Clean up the room and return any loaned equipment. Write him or her a cheque for any expenses if necessary. For out-of-town speakers a small gift might be nice.<br />
<br />
<br />
The rest of this section will outline various tips that should be useful when running events and suggest some events that you might want to run.<br />
<br />
=== Getting ideas and speakers for events ===<br />
<br />
Obviously you will have to start your planning by coming up with an event. Here are some types of events you might want to hold:<br />
<br />
* Talks held by CSC members. Ask around, there are probably a few members who have interesting things to give talks on. In the past CSC members have given talks about programming languages they like, Operating Systems, research projects, etc.<br />
<br />
* Talks held by Faculty: Simply ask your CS profs, or get other exec to ask their profs or interesting faculty. Approaching faculty in person might get you better results than e-mailing, but be sure to follow up with an e-mail so that you have something written to remind them.<br />
<br />
* Out-of-town speakers. The [http://www.acm.org/chapters/stu/ ACM student chapter website] has a section called "Lectureship series" where you can find information on getting an ACM Distinguished Lecturer. You can also simply approach interesting people (in Academia, Industry or the Free Software scene) by e-mail and ask them if they'd like to come and give a talk (or a few talks). Don't be afraid to ask high-profile people, the worst you can get is a "no." Be sure to have the treasurer budget money to pay for the guest speaker's expenses. If you can, try to pay for travel expenses (unless the speaker offers), but at the very least arrange for meals and accommodation as well as transport from the airport or bus/train station if necessary.<br />
<br />
* Special events. In the past we've had an event called "Pints with Profs" where we invited the CS faculty (cs-faculty@cs.uwaterloo.ca) and any interested CS students to come out to a pub. The Bomber is a convenient location but we've found their catering to be expensive. Weaver's Arms (in WCRI) might be a good alternative. Be sure to budget this with Mathsoc, so you can pay for free food. Try to get both meat and vegetarian alternatives (e.g. Wings and Veggie Platters). Make sure you publicize this event very well, and don't hesitate to ask the profs to announce it in class (giving them overheads might be a good idea). This is definitely an event you should try to hold. If you can think of any other special events, go right ahead, be creative! Be sure to add them here.<br />
<br />
* Tutorials. Usually we hold a few UNIX tutorials at the beginning of the term. These are quite popular and you can get Faculty (especially the first and second-year CS profs) to announce them in class. Be sure to book a lab. If there are more than one or two other people in the lab, politely ask them to leave - in our experience, asking such groups to be quiet doesn't usually work very well. Aside from UNIX you could have tutorials for LaTeX, some programming language, some programming problem (e.g. "Writing a raytracer") or anything you think would be useful for people to learn.<br />
<br />
* Contests. Programming contests can be a lot of fun and will certainly raise interest in the club. Try to get nice prizes so that you can attract a large group of contestants. Be sure to have the rules and the environment set up early on. Game solving contests are a good idea (this can range from writing programs to play rock-paper-scissors to having programs compete at playing chess), demo programming contests can also be fun or you might go for something more useful. It's up to you - be creative!<br />
<br />
* Anything else you can think of. Be imaginative and ask for suggestions. The ACM website also has some good suggestions for events. Don't limit yourself to computer-related events - a volleyball match against the Pure Math Club might be fun.<br />
<br />
= Treasurer =<br />
<br />
The treasurer's responsibilities include:<br />
<br />
* Preparing and presenting to MathSoc the budget for the term<br />
* Keeping the cash box filled with change<br />
* Writing checks to reimburse members for items they purchase for the club<br />
* Submitting forms to MathSoc, MEF, etc. for items purchased, and MAKING SURE we receive promised funding<br />
<br />
== Getting Reimbursed ==<br />
<br />
It's important that we be reimbursed for all of our purchases. For expenses on the MathSoc budget, fill out an expense form (usually in the tray outside MC 3038) and submit it to the VPF. Make sure to specify which budget line item each expense is claimed against. Submit copies of all receipts and invoices, and keep the originals in the safe until we are reimbursed. Finally, bug the MathSoc VPF if we still haven't received a cheque from MathSoc after a week or two.<br />
<br />
= Secretary =<br />
<br />
The secretary is usually responsible for:<br />
<br />
* Keeping members and students informed<br />
** Posting minutes of club meetings<br />
** Advertising club events (see section on advertising below)<br />
* Club correspondence<br />
** Checking our two mailboxes in MC 3038 and DC 3316<br />
** Reading and responding to mail we receive<br />
* Recruitment<br />
** Membership drives<br />
** Maintaining club bulletin board and other propaganda<br />
<br />
=== Announcing the event: Posters and Posts ===<br />
<br />
Once you have the abstract and the room booked you should get the word out. For starters you should send an announcement to the uw.csc newsgroup and possibly to the members by e-mail (try to reserve the latter for special events, although an update with upcoming events every now and then might be a good idea).<br />
<br />
You'll also want to make printed posters. Simon Law made a cscposter.cls file for LaTeX which can be used to generate nice-looking posters in letter format. Try to not have too much text on the posters so that they grab more attention. Getting posters out earlier rather than later is definitely beneficial. To actually distribute posters you should use several methods:<br />
<br />
* Put up the posters on the CSC boards. There are 3 boards: a small one right by the door of MC3036, a large one in the 3rd floor hallway of the MC and another large one on the second floor of the MC (directly below the third floor hallway).<br />
<br />
* Give 6 posters to Mathsoc. Just drop by 6 posters in the Mathsoc office and they'll put them up around the MC and DC.<br />
<br />
* Make use of the FEDS poster run. FEDS offers a (reasonably cheap) poster run where they will distribute many posters around campus. Check the [http://www.feds.uwaterloo.ca/services/marketing.html FEDS marketing website] for pricing and information on how to use it. While we aren't a FEDS club, we are part of MathSoc, so try to get the "student society" price. Also, make sure you budget for this from Mathsoc, you can probably get funds from them to use this.<br />
<br />
There are other ways to get people to know about the event. If the event is relevant to classes, try to convince profs to announce it in class (giving them an overhead with the details is a good idea). Also, have the event announced in the Daily Bulletin (a daily update on the UW website about what's happening on campus). To do so, e-mail Chris Redmond (credmond@uwaterloo.ca).<br />
<br />
Word of mouth is another important channel. Tell others in the CSC (both executives and members) to tell their friends about events. Tell your own friends and classmates about events that they might find interesting. Word of mouth is often how events get most of their publicity.<br />
<br />
Lastly, you'll want to add the event to the website. Contact the CSC webmaster (or if there is none, the sysadmin) to have him or her do that for you, or find out how to do it yourself. This way others can check for events on the website, and you can also conveniently point people there if they ask, "What events is the CSC offering this term?"<br />
<br />
=== Recruiting: Propaganda and Membership Drives ===<br />
<br />
A notably successful way to recruit new members is to hold a membership drive. Recently, we have booked a table in the 3rd floor MC lobby through MathSoc and asked math students passing by to join. An effective tactic is to provide vouchers for $2.00 worth of pop as an incentive. The tickets in the office desk can be used for this purpose. Since most people won't want 4 pops all at once, we should give out 4 tickets (each worth $0.50 of pop).<br />
<br />
= Systems Administrator =<br />
<br />
The system administrator chairs the systems committee, and is responsible for keeping all of our computers in working order. The CSC computing environment is good, but not nearly perfect, and the sysadmin should look for ways to improve it. We don't have a strict "if it works, don't touch it" policy, and encourage people to try new things to see if they work better. Because of this, we don't have "5 nines" uptime or anything close, but do have a modern computing environment that is constantly improving. Our systems should be, and often are, better at the end of term than the beginning.<br />
<br />
Early in the term, the sysadmin should consider what hardware upgrades we would like to have, and send proposals to the treasurer to add to the budget. A bit later, this happens again with MEF proposals.<br />
<br />
The sysadmin should also make sure requests by our users (to systems-committee@csclub) are answered, and make recommendations to the Executive Council to add new systems committee members or reevaluate old ones.<br />
<br />
= General Information =<br />
<br />
== Useful Contacts ==<br />
<br />
There are several people that many exec will need contact information for. Their contact info follows and should be updated when these people change!<br />
<br />
* Donna Schell: Book most rooms in the MC or elsewhere on campus. She can generally book any lecture hall. If she can't do it, she can tell you who can! She can be reached at dschell@uwaterloo.ca or at extension 2207.<br />
<br />
* Vera Korody: ICR secretary. Should we wish to use the DC fishbowl for anything we can contact her. She may require us to get the permission of a ICR director to use it. Currently the friendly director is Vic DiCiccio at vicd@uwaterloo.ca. I am including the text of an email I sent and the response from Vic below. It is easiest to talk to her directly at the ICR reception area beside the fishbowl in DC, however she can also be e-mailed at vkorody@uwaterloo.ca or called at ext. 2042.<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
The Computer Science Club is interested in booking DC 1301 (The Fishbowl) for a student-prof <br />
mixer on the afternoon Monday, October 17. We were told that it would require the permission <br />
of someone higher up in ICR since we're a student club. We considered asking our faculty <br />
advisor, Prabhakar Ragde, to book it on our behalf, but that would require him to be present <br />
for the entire event and we don't want to impose on him to that extent unless we have to. We <br />
are hoping to get your permission to book it since our primary purpose is to remove alcohol <br />
from the picture, to get it away from the "pints" mentallity and focus it more towards the <br />
frosh.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your consideration.<br />
<br />
Tim Loach<br />
<br />
CSC President<br />
<br />
His Response:<br />
<br />
Hi Timothy,<br />
<br />
Sure, I would definitely approve this. Have you been turned down by others? But you need to <br />
email Vera Korody to book the room, because it might be booked, and you need to get her <br />
rules about moving chairs, etc. I'll copy her on this email.<br />
<br />
BTW, does the CSC know that Mike Lazaridis is coming to Fed Hall on Oct 3 to explain why <br />
RIM is a cool place to work, and that there are still challenges there to interest co-ops <br />
and grads. We could use your help in getting the word out. You've probably seen the posters.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Vic<br />
<br />
* MathSoc: It is often smart to have executive in MathSoc who are friendly with the CSC. To that end it is helpful to keep up with the MathSoc exec and attend MathSoc events. Their office is directly across the always closed door from ours. The president and VPF are particularily helpful, in case we go a little over budget for any event they can approve funding up to $100 extra by themselves. They can be reached at president@mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca and VPF@mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca. They also have a projector that we can borrow from time to time.<br />
<br />
* AV stuff should be handled through AV services at extension 3033. Keys for AV stuff can be obtained at E2 1309. Note that they will charge you $80 if you intend to use a projector (and that's non-refundable - apparently bulbs are expensive and need to be replaced often).<br />
