Hi all.<br>
While we are changing the constitution,<br>
I suggest we also change the Objects of the club,<br>
to more accurately and clearly reflect our focus.<br>
<br>
Current:<br>
<blockquote>The objects of the Club shall be as follows:
<ol>
<li> To be an organised association of students attending The
University of Western Australia, and supporters, for the
advancement of computer science and technologies, both at the
University and in the broader community. </li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<br>
Advancing computer science and technologies isn't was we do.<br>
We also use them.<br>
<br>
Also computer science is generally taken to be a incredibly narrow
field with in the greater clould of IT/IS/Software Eng/Sys
admin/DBA. etc.<br>
Computer science is more closely related to pure math, than it is to
real most world programming tasks.<br>
CS is a narrow subset of what we do.<br>
<br>
Conversely technologies is much broader than what we do.<br>
While it includes things like coke machine,<br>
it also includes things like Cars, and trains.<br>
<br>
I feel much better wording would be:<br>
<blockquote>The objects of the Club shall be as follows:
<ol>
<li> To be an organised association of students attending The
University of Western Australia, and supporters, to promote
the advancement and use of computerized technologies, both at
the University and in the broader community. </li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
I think that is much clearer.<br>
<br>
