1. Unsubscribing<br>
================<br>
<br>
It has come to our attention that some people no longer want to be on this<br>
list but don't know how to unsubscribe. We hate spam just as much as the<br>
next person, so here's how to do it:<br>
A. Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to<br>
unsubscribe.<br>
B. Send an email to the list unsubscribe address, which is<br>
<a href="mailto:ucc-announce-leave@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au">ucc-announce-leave@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au</a>. The subject and body of this<br>
message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there.<br>
C. Wait a while for the unsubscribe email to come through, then follow<br>
the instructions in that email.<br>
<br>
2. Computer Clubs Camp<br>
======================<br>
<br>
This year UCC Camp is being revived in the form of an intervarsity camp<br>
involving UCC, ComSSA and CASSA. This will help us build ties with other<br>
computer clubs, meet some new people and have a heap of fun along the way.<br>
It is 3 nights over a weekend at the end of September and costs $80 for<br>
members and $130 for non-members. See:<br>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153072618103383" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153072618103383</a> and<br>
<a href="http://wiki.ucc.asn.au/ComputerClubsCamp2011" target="_blank">http://wiki.ucc.asn.au/ComputerClubsCamp2011</a> for more details.<br>
<br>
3. Other events<br>
===============<br>
<br>
With the Cameron Hall Quiz Night over, we now look forward to events such<br>
as the Charity Vigil and the UCC Birthday Dinner. We also want to run a<br>
few LANs between now and the camp, but WE NEED PEOPLE who can help out<br>
running<br>
events, or even take charge and organise them completely - it seems<br>
committee<br>
members are pretty busy this semester. Keep an ear out for more details,<br>
or<br>
email <a href="mailto:committee@ucc.asn.au">committee@ucc.asn.au</a> if you're willing and able to help out.<br>
<br>
4. Communication<br>
================<br>
<br>
Members with weblogs are welcome to join our Planet.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://planet.ucc.asn.au/" target="_blank">http://planet.ucc.asn.au/</a><br>
<br>
All we require from you is a sensible RSS or Atom feed. Contact the Planet<br>
Master via <a href="mailto:planet@ucc.asn.au">planet@ucc.asn.au</a> with the URI of your feed to be added.<br>
<br>
New members who have not yet learned to say no have been subscribed to<br>
ucc-announce (the announcements mailing list), but if you're curious where<br>
all the real magic happens, check out the ucc@ and tech@ lists, our lists<br>
for general chatter and technical discussion.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/mailman/listinfo" target="_blank">http://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/mailman/listinfo</a><br>
<br>
We also encourage members to hang out in our IRC channel, hosted on our<br>
own<br>
IRC server running on mussel. You can connect to it by directing your IRC<br>
client to <a href="http://irc.ucc.asn.au" target="_blank">irc.ucc.asn.au</a>. You will find most regular members in the #ucc<br>
channel.<br>
<br>
5. Getting involved<br>
===================<br>
<br>
The club doesn't run itself! We're always on the hunt for good people to<br>
do<br>
coke runs, keep the website up to date, keep the clubroom open, run the<br>
servers, and many other things. If you're a fresher this year, you are now<br>
welcome to apply to some of the UCC groups such as door or coke.<br>
We are particularly keen for someone to help update some of the wiki<br>
pages - which is a great way to learn the ins and outs of the club.<br>
For those interested in games, did you know that you don't need to be on<br>
wheel to help run the games server?<br>
<br>
6. UCC on Facebook<br>
==================<br>
<br>
A few months back, we created a new group for the club in the new groups<br>
format. The assorted old groups are going to be deleted in the near<br>
future.<br>
Come and join the new group at<br>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/universitycomputerclub" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/universitycomputerclub</a><br>
<br>
7. Perth Linux Users Group presents Rusty Russell at UWA<br>
========================================================<br>
<br>
This event promises to be both interesting and hilarious, and is free for<br>
university IT/Comp Sci students. See<br>
<a href="http://www.plug.org.au/sites/default/files/rusty-banner.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.plug.org.au/sites/default/files/rusty-banner.jpg</a> for other<br>
details.<br>
<br>
8. Virtual machines for members<br>
===============================<br>
<br>
UCC is in a good position to be able to offer members virtual machines for<br>
personal use and learning. If you would like to get your own virtual<br>
machine, drop an email to <a href="mailto:wheel@ucc.asn.au">wheel@ucc.asn.au</a> and wheel see what we can do!<br>
<br>
9. Member Projects and Employment<br>
=================================<br>
<br>
Interested in Bitcoin? Got skills in Python programming, system<br>
administration or web design? UCC member Luke Williams (shmookey) is<br>
looking for helpers for an allegedly exciting new business! You'll be<br>
involved in the development, deployment and marketing of novel financial<br>
instruments made possible by the unique properties of crypto-currencies<br>
and the Bitcoin network. Whether you are considering a career in finance<br>
or just have a passing interest, this project promises to be fun,<br>
informative and perhaps even profitable!<br>
Luke is going to be at the UWA tavern to talk about the project on<br>
Wednesday 24 August from 5:00pm, so come along if you would like to hear<br>
more - or get in touch by emailing <a href="mailto:shmookey@ucc.asn.au">shmookey@ucc.asn.au</a>.<br>
<br>
Finally, greetz to the UCC::Albany, and all the best in keeping your club<br>
going strong!<br>
