## Hello 1st years!
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
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
|
|
