Morris Zuss

The purpose of this document is to assist the incoming CompSoc IT Officer for the upcoming year 2024/25.

Duties

Come up with tech related society events, help decide the events for the semester. Find other tech events going on.
Assist events officer in organising and planning mainly tech events. If needed, be sure to help in other events.
Come up with potential projects for the society to make.
Suggest possible new equipment the society should buy.
Help develop Skynet on an interim basis.

Guide

As the main "tech guy" be ready to assist, whether small (getting cables, setting up equipment) or big (organising events).
Have some ideas for tech related events, have a few in mind so you can be better prepared for future events and get it done early.
In my role I was making presentation on various topics such as OpenStreetMap, Software Licensing, Git.
In my opinion it's easier to cover topics on things that interest you and that is tech related, people can see you're passionate and will be interested.
Can use various website for events like Advent of Code, various Capture The Flag websites.
Do a short evaluation of after each event. What went right/wrong? What to Improve? etc.
Ideally don't do slides an hour before the event, get some practice and go over it a few times.

Summary

It is a fairly easy role depending on how much you want to bring to the table, whether you want to make more programming/technical events or for it to be more educational. The power is in your hands, and the sky(net) is the limit. You have lots of flexibility to do whatever you would like to do and shape the events. The role has you doing a wide variety of things, can be from organising events, creating challenges, making slides/posters, tinkering with Skynet, general organisation. Main part is, have fun! Play around with new things, you have the infrastructure and the power to do so.
