You should go! https://www.facebook.com/events/473482922738351/ UCC Camp 2013 is two weeks after that! You should go to that also! https://www.facebook.com/events/486241124795980/ Invite your friends, family and pets. Ok, maybe not the pets. If you are listed as "Maybe", quit being indecisive! Enjoy, [SZM] From bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Thu Jul 11 21:56:23 2013 From: bob at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (Andrew Adamson) Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:56:23 +0800 (WST) Subject: [ucc-announce] UCC Camp Scholarship Message-ID: Hi all, UCC Camp is happening in just over a week! It's time to get your tickets! As part of making UCC Camp even more awesome than last year, I will be offering a scholarship to one or more lucky members. The entire camp ticket price will be covered. Now, generally scholarships have bizarre criteria on who or what can get them. I have two (for large values of two): 1. you must be human 2. you must never have gone on a UCC Camp or derivative before 3. you must send me an email of at least 5 letters that says why you want the scholarship. Special consideration will be given to applicants who submit their application as a haiku. In return, you will be expected to attend the camp. And maybe help in the kitchen once or twice. And defend me against the hordes who want to lynch me for waking them up to the Super Mario tune. But that's about all. Applicants will receive a reply next Tuesday after I arbitrarily decide that your time is up. There is also a scholarship being offered by coxy, which I'm guessing is similar to last year. See http://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/pipermail/ucc/2012-July/016512.html for more info. I personally think my scholarship is better than coxy's because DUCC is better than FUCC any day.

Lionel and I will be continuing our full-ride scholarship program. Previous recipients of these scholarships have gone onto great things so we are proud to offer it once more. Also because you're running your own scholarship it takes some of the financial pressure off us. Two first-time UCC Campers will have their entry fee paid for by us. As before, you will also obtain the privilege, if you should so wish, to add a pink F to your UCC tags, denoting sophistication, intellect, and exclusive membership of an elite group of teamkilling imbeciles. To be eligible for this award, you must be a UWA student, member of UCC, and to not have attended a previous UCC Camp or derivative. Applicants will also need to declare in writing that they will participate in at least one game of DotA0 during UCC Camp (holy shit it has been so long), and that when we play ET you will not be a noob in the back with a mortar accomplishing nothing all match. Playing Railroads! with us would be nice, too. I look forward to hearing from you, [RME] ~Coxy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So, if you are going to attend, we need to know yesterday. If there is not enough food because some people decided to attend at the last minute, then those people will be the first to go into the stew. We also need payment yesterday, because to buy all that food we need money. If you haven't filled in the registration form, please do so. We are using that to estimate numbers; not this facebook page. http://www.ucc.asn.au/cgi-bin/ucc_camp_register.py If the form mysteriously stops working (thanks LDAP), you can email committee-only-and-bob at ucc.asn.au with the information. Unfortunately due to a recent change in guild policy, this event is now 18+ only. Don't let this stop you from attending next year's camp!

If you want to give a tech talk, please email me with details of the talk, your availability, and preferably a blurb for the talk. Talks can be about anything you're interested in, preferably something technical. This doesn't have to be restricted to Computer Science. If you don't want to give a tech talk yourself, but have some feedback on the talks so far and what you'd like to see more (or less) of, feel free to contact me. Thanks, Sam Moore UCC Vice President 2013
