HackSoc, the computer science society
Hello, HackSoc!
 
 
 
 

This is the final newsletter of 2020! We're running another BakeTogether on Wednesday, and while there's no event on Friday this week, we are trying out a brand-new event PlayTogether on Saturday! Check out the description below, and if it sounds like your thing then come along!

There's also a committee meeting on Monday evening next week, and you're welcome to attend - keep an eye on our Slack workspace just before the meeting begins for a link.

Talk Submissions are Closing Soon!
 
 
 
 

If you'd like to give an online pre-recorded talk to our members in the Spring term, then don't delay - submissions close on the 1st of January, so there's not much longer to submit your talk!

Remember that you don't need to have written your talk already; we only need an idea of what you'll be talking about in your submission.

If you'd like to find out more and make a talk submission, head over to the news article on our website!

The Calendar
 
 
 
 

BakeTogether - 15:00, Wed 30/12 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

A brand-new virtual event - join us on Discord and bake up something tasty to a chosen theme!

If you've got something in mind which fits the theme nicely then you can choose your own recipe, or you can use our suggested recipe.

This week's BakeTogether theme is: chocolate! If you've got a chocolatey recipe you'd like to use, then that's brilliant - join us and bake that! If you don't have anything particular in mind, then we'd suggest this recipe for fudge brownies; why not try swapping out the chocolate chips for walnuts?


PlayTogether - 20:00, Sat 02/01 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

We're trying out a brand-new event: gather in Discord and play a narrative video game together, voting on the story choices to make!

This time, we'll be playing "Detroit: Become Human".


Committee Meeting - 17:00, Mon 04/01 - Google Meet

Agenda:

  • Social events
  • Academic events
  • AGM
  • AOB
And Finally...
