Welcome || Internet Access || Downtime || Events || 2010 Freshers || 2010 Renewals Welcome ======== Welcome to 2010 everyone! Tuesday saw the election of the committee to lead the University Computer Club for the coming year. The results, as I'm sure a number of you will have observed are: - President: Matt Didcoe [MRD] - Vice President: Daniel Axtens [DJA] - Treasurer: Andrew Adamson [BOB] - Secretary: Conrad Pogson [LOL] - Fresher Rep: Jonathan Van Buren [ODF] - OCM: Chris Squire [CJS], John Hodge [TPG], Nathan Shaw [YES] As usual, if you have anything you want to put to committee, email committee @ucc.asn.au or, if it's more "sensitive", you can also email committee-only @ucc.asn.au. We're currently seeking input on events you would like to see this year along with any other ideas you have for projects or general things you'd like to see UCC involved in. Internet Access ================ Its with great excitement that I can share with you all some good news. Brian Greene, Director of IT Services today organised for the University to centrally fund all UCC internet traffic. What does this mean for UCC? 1. A saving of $1600/yr for the club ($600 in AARNET costs & monthly Resnet expenses) 2. Faster connectivity In theory, the Club and its members will now have a faster connection for both on-net and off-net traffic. With plans to acquire a second AARNET fibre connection, this can only improve with time. 3. Changes to "the way things work"(tm) The Wheel group are working closely with the Committee to get some changes made to our network that will allow everything to go over the AARNET link. One noticable change will be the securing of the UniComputerClub wireless access point - keep an eye on the mailing list and http://twitter.com/ucc_status for details of any upcoming changes. This has been an effort of many people - I would like to extend my personal thanks to Craig Williams who has put in many hours helping me craft a case for UCC and has also been spreading support for UCC around ITS. Conrad Pogson and Scott Young are also to be thanked for their work in getting the wheels rolling on this last year. Downtime ========= We would like to make members aware that next weekend, March 20-21, there will be some downtime affecting mussel and musundo (an possibly other machines). Updates will be posted to the UCC twitter, available at http://twitter.com/ucc_status. Events ======= Keep your eyes on the mailing list as well as the UCC site for many upcoming events, including the traditional easter weekend lan and a restart of Monday at the Movies, a great series of events from last year. If members have any events that they would like to see run, please send an email to the committee and we will be happy to assist with the running of the event. 2010 Freshers ============== Are you a new member in 2010? Jonathon Van Buren, you're Fresher Rep wants to hear from you! If you'd like to get involved in the club and be up to date on events for first time members, email vanbujm @ ucc.asn.au 2010 Renewals ============== Account fees are now due for all past members for the 2010 membership year.

Any of you who were in missile bunkers today should know there was a pretty significant hail storm and it busted up some windows and did some water damage (I hear damage to UCC was pretty bad, but not sure, I wasn't there.) I understand that the current plan is that the guild will get the windows replaced first, then allow clubs back in so it might be a few days before we can get back in to sort out our clubs stuff. I hope it all works out for everyone. All for now, Liam (UniSFA president 2010) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Clubroom I'm pleased to say that while UCC has sustained some serious damage, the efforts of a dedicated team who have worked throughout the day mean that UCC is now out of the woods - there's a lot of work to do before the clubroom can be restored to anything close to its former state. UCC now has what I believe are water tight windows. However, the skylight above the clubroom is still open (as you can imagine, Facilities Management have been swamped today) - we'll be chasing this up tomorrow. Revised forecasts seem to suggest we will dodge anymore rain this evening. Please note that the Guild have not reopened Cameron Hall yet as debris could still fall from skylights and glass shards are still scattered around the place. Keep an eye on IRC and Twitter (Details below) to learn when this changes. 2. Services The Faculty of Arts and IT Services Networks team have been very helpful in getting us back online. UCC mail + DNS (Mooneye) and ssh + home directories on Martello are available. More services will be made available as we get space in alternate data centres (or if we can get UCCs clubroom made active again quickly). 3. Communications/Contact There are a number of ways to keep up with information - this will be my one and only email to the ucc-announce list for now. 1. IRC: If you would like to catch up with us on IRC, a channel (#ucc) exists on irc.walan.org. 2. Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucc_status 3. Web: http://ucc.mattdidcoe.com 4. Email: If you have an urgent need to contact the club, please email committee at ucc.asn.au. Thank you for your support thus far - as mentioned, we aim to have the clubroom declared safe and reopened soon. On a personal note, my thoughts are with those who have serious damage to their homes/cars and my thanks go to all who have assisted over the last two days and I'm sure will continue to give their time.

BYO computer and set up at 3pm for a full night of madness playing Team Fortress 2, Halo 3 and Enemy Territory, with side dishes of Freelancer and AOE2 for the oldies. There will be PRIZES for a 5 player TF2 knockout tournament, a Halo 2v2 tournament, as well as an AOE2 competition. Other scheduled games will also occur throughout the night, and you are of course free to host your own servers for other games. Given the damage to UCC from the storm and the cost of rebuilding, the cost will be $10 to anyone attending. Bring $6 cash for pizza too. If you are attending, please let us know with an email to lan at ucc.asn.au so we can plan accordingly. The UCC website is currently down, and may not be back up before the event, so write this down now before you lose it: UCC Easter LAN, 3pm, Saturday April 10, Cameron Hall. See you there!
