Hi May,
Thanks for getting back to me, it's entirely understandable that things
would be a bit hectic nearing end of semester. Hope things have been
going well.
Regarding the tech fixup - prior experience is recommended but not
required, I'll send you a link to a Facebook event once we have one.
Also, if you like, I can subscribe email addresses to the UCC mailing
list so you get updates on our events - most of our promotion is done by
email before anything else. I'll forward the latest email about the tech
fixup to DSC as well.
UCC camp - https://www.facebook.com/events/448656582564417/
Industry talks - if there's any way we can be involved in that, please
let me know - at the very least we can advertise to our members. When
approximately would you be doing the AWS event? I'm not sure what sort
of things a 'high level' cloud computing workshop would entail, but it
certainly sounds interesting. The industry night also sounds very
interesting, please send through any details you have and we'll see what
we can do.
Meetings with other computer clubs sounds like a great idea. UCC and PCS
committee have significant overlap, I've been in contact with CSSC and
discussing the possibility of a "Computer Club Quiz Night", and then
there are the other clubs over in Engineering including Robogals, Coders
for Causes, EEEWA, etc. I'd suggest we get in contact and try to
organise a time to meet before Semester 2, so we can potentially
organise some other collaborative events even then.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Felix
