Hi Felix
Hope all your exams went well - I've finished more now thankfully.
I've reposted the camp event to our facebook page. If you could sign
this email up to the UCC newsletter, that would be great.
The AWS event will probably be the week before the semester starts. Have
you run events that early? How did you find attendance?
For the industry night, it will be on the 12th of August. Next week, the
committee will be having a planning meeting so will pass on more details
and abilities for collaboration soon.
The collaborative quiz sounds really great, let us know if we can
assist, we would love to be a part of it.
Do you think we should organize the big computer club meeting just after
exams or the first week back? I think it's a really great initiative.
Our club (and the committee) are mostly post-grad students, so most of
us are here during the break.
Thanks,
May.

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
