About the Society
The Society is roughly 30 years old
This makes us one of teh oldest continuous societies in UL
Has changed dramatically over the years
What we Do
At our core we are folks who like any and all aspects of computers
From building them, to the software that runs on them to new tech
We have weekly meetings, Wednesdays 6-9 in the Courtyard Room
These are a mix of technical, social and networking
We also do trips to conferences when we can, normally once per semester
Aside from our planned meetings we are also open to events organised by
our members.
So if you have any ideas let us know.
We try to be as member driven as possible.
We also provide services to other Clubs and Societies:
- We provide web hosting
- Our Skynet bot is used for discord roles
- We manage teh inter-committee discord server
Skynet
Our computer cluster is called Skynet and is about 32 years old.
Yes, Skynet is older than teh Society
We solemnly swear that we are not (currently) aiming for world domination
You will hear more about it next week in our Skynet event
Socials
We are mostly active on Discord
Though we also send out emails often enough.
To get the member role (that grants access to a pile of channels)
You need to authenticate with the Skynet bot.
Use /link_wolves in the Bot channel
