#### 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
