Why you should join UL Computer Society
Hello 1st years!
(Or any other year, we arent picky)
((Some of your lecturers are even members))
(((If you are ISE we are here to help you escape this building))
We are UL Computer Society and we are here to kidnap recruit you today!
As you might guess we really like computers.
Though we would rather say we are in teh business of networking.
We do the usual networking with switches and cables
But we also do Social Networking (aided by free pizza every so often)
On top of that we do intra-society networking (like Games Development)
Or if brave inter-society networking with other computer societies
What else we do
We have a mix of Software, Social and Hardware events
And go to Tech Conferences like PyCon or SISTEM
We also provide a (long) list of services to our members
Skynet
(the good kind)
((We swear))
(((Though it is self updating.....)))
Skynet is our (semi) enterprise grade computer cluster
It is ~32 years old now
100TB+ of data storage
It is also FOSS
Can get hands on with the root team if ye want (?)
Meetups
We meet every Wendesday at 6pm in teh Courtyard room in Student Life
