Snack Machine > 1 Subject: Welcome To New Members Although it was a little warm yesterday (and some people decided they didn't need sunscreen) the freshers weren't driven away. The UCC signed up 56 first time members yesterday; so welcome new people. I hope everyone makes you feel welcome. For the statistics junkies: 108 people joined the UCC on O'Day 56 of them are new members 82 of them are Guild members 26 of them have Gmail addresses, but 32 have hotmail addresses 36 of them are studying Engineering and 35 are studying Computer Science If you haven't been up to the clubroom yet, come and check it out. We're located on the second floor of Cameron Hall, above the UWA Tavern. You'll find the entrance to Cameron Hall in the courtyard between the Tavern and Shenton House (indigenous studies). Better directions: http://www.ucc.asn.au/aboutucc/contact.ucc > 2 Subject: Computer Accounts Only 6 of our new members have signed up for UCC computer accounts. You can't use the UCC computers, networked drink and snack machines, email, &c. without a UCC computer account. Come up to the clubroom to get an account. Make sure you bring your UCC membership card. You will want to ask a wheel or committee member. Wheel members look like this: http://www.ucc.asn.au/infobase/groups/wheel.ucc More on accounts: http://www.ucc.asn.au/services/accounts.ucc > 3 Subject: Upcoming Events The UCC runs a number of events throughout the year (not that you'd know this from the state of our website). The two important events coming up are the Fresher's Welcome (14th March) and the Annual General Meeting (25th March). March 2008 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13(14)15 : 14 March - Fresher's Welcome 7pm-11pm 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24(25)26 27 28 29 : 29 March - AGM 1pm (common lunch hour) 30 31 The Fresher's Welcome is an event for all members of the club, new and old to welcome the new members and help them put some names to faces. There will also be some graduated (old-guard) members around to prove that there really is life after Uni. The UCC puts on FREE PIZZA for first time members. Repeat offenders will need to pay $5. As always, it's being held in the UCC/Loft. The AGM is the time when the committee for 2008 will be elected. All financial members of the club are welcome to attend. Freshers will be particularly interested in running for the position of Fresher Rep (of course, you can run for any other position you like). The AGM is being held in the Guild Council Meeting Room. If you don't know where that is, turn up to the UCC and follow the trail of bodies. There will also be our first LAN at some point, but it's currently booked to happen on a date that doesn't exist. Let us just say that some people are not used to leap years. > 4 Subject: Planet UCC and mailing lists Members with weblogs are welcome to join our Planet. http://planet.ucc.asn.au/ All that is required is a sensible RSS or Atom feed and to contact the Planet Master via planet at ucc.asn.au. New members who haven't learnt to say no have been subscribed to ucc-announce, the Announcements mailing list, but you may also want to subscribe to the general chatter UCC list. It's much better than a forum. http://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ucc Any rumours you here of there also being forums are blatantly untrue myths perpetuated by a bunch of Something Awful goons. > 5 Subject: Renewing Memberships Members who have not yet rejoined for 2008. Now is the time to renew your membership. A good time to do this if you work is Monday. Alternatively we'll probably put up a handy webpage at some point, maybe. Prices have not changed from the last couple of years. > 6 Subject: Snack Machine "I didn't know he was an elite hardware hacker!" "He's also a doctor!" Messir Adam would like to advise people of his brilliance in installing a Mifare card reader into the snack machine. Log into the snack machine with your UID and pin and then swipe a Mifare card (such as a UWA student/staff card or a Smartrider) over the sensor to register this card for use with the snack machine and coke machine. No more UIDs to remember! > h No unread messages. > exit [root at ucc ~]# logout -- Davyd Madeley, UCC Secretary 2007 http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA From zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Thu Mar 13 22:15:32 2008 From: zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (David Adam) Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:15:32 +0900 (WST) Subject: [ucc-announce] Fresher Welcome: tomorrow! Message-ID: Just a quick reminder that FRESHER WELCOME is on TOMORROW NIGHT at the UCC clubroom from 7pm. If you're a first time member, come along for free pizza, meet some of the older members, get your UCC account, and have a look around the facilities. If you're an older member, come down to renew your membership, and greet the new members. If you're Adrian, bring our stuff back. Hope to see you there!

I received one agenda item which was later retracted, so the agenda for the AGM is as follows: 1. 2007 Committee Reports 1.1 President's Report 1.2 Vice President's Report 1.3 Treasurer's Report 1.4 Secretary's Report 1.5 Fresher Representative's Report 2.

At least two members of the 2007 committee have indicated that they will not be running again this year, so make sure you're in attendance if you think you have something to bring to the 2008 committee. FRESHERS ESPECIALLY should attend to run for the position of FRESHER REP (of course, you can run for other positions as well). Members of the club executive (Pres, VP, Tres, Sec) MUST be students and FULL SUPPORTING MEMBERS of the Student Guild or must be willing to become full supporting members upon their successful election (this is a Guild/SOC requirement and is non-negotiable, but anyway why aren't you a member? Support the Guild that supports you). You must be a current financial member of the club to vote, nominate or run for a position. Voting is conducted via the "N-1" show-of-hands voting system, this will be explained at the AGM. Looking forward to seeing a big turnout, --davyd madeley UCC SECRETARY, 2007 -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA From davyd at madeley.id.au Mon Mar 24 22:43:11 2008 From: davyd at madeley.id.au (Davyd Madeley) Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:43:11 +0900 Subject: [ucc-announce] AGM tomorrow (TUESDAY 25th) Message-ID: <1206366191.5903.106.camel@frobisher> Just a polite reminder to all ye kind and gentle folks.
