The following general-use servers will be rebooted on Thursday, June
2nd around 10am (expected downtime is 30 minutes, but it is possible
that it could be longer):
- corn-syrup
- high-fructose-corn-syrup (HFCS)
- taurine
Our web server container may also become unavailable at this time:
- caffeine
Sucrose was preemptively rebooted last week and thus is not included
in this downtime notice. Note that some CSC services depend on these
servers (e.g. /scratch) and thus will also be unavailable at this time.
Please ensure all that all compute jobs running have saved their state
prior to the reboot, especially if you are utilizing /scratch.
Thanks,

P.S. If you have a prof you'd love to hear a talk from, please email me and
I'll contact them and try to make it happen!
Hello CSC members,
If you’re interested in becoming office staff (https://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/Office_Staff), training will take place on Wednesday, May 25th starting at 5:30pm in the CSC office. If you are unable to make this training session, you can email exec(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca so we can arrange a time to meet.
Additionally, the CSC Spring Cleaning is taking place after the training session at 6pm. Help us clean the office and in exchange we will feed you.
Thanks,
Zachary Seguin

Hello members of the CS Club!
First of all, thank you to all who came out and voted, by email or in
person, to our elections last night. There were many timbits had.
Without further ado,
*Election Results:*
(laden) Luqman Aden is your new President,
(matedesc) Melissa Angelica Tedesco is your new Vice-president,
(jj2baile) Jonathan Jeral Bailey is your new Treasurer,
(askothar) Aditya Shivam Kothari is your new Secretary,
(jxpryde) Jordan Xavier Pryde is your new Systems Administrator,
(ztseguin) Zachary Seguin is your new Office Manager,
(s455wang) Charlie Wang is your new Librarian, and
(mnmailho) Marc Mailhot is your new Fridge Regent.
So that's what happened this week. If you want to know what happens next
week, keep reading for like just a few more lines.
*CSC goes to board games night*
(or, CSC uses 'militia' on Mathsoc)
Board games are fun. The CSC would like to have a board games night, but
MathSoc already does it so well. Clearly the only solution is an invasion.
Come join us on *Thursday, May 19th, about 7pm* in taking over MathSoc
board games night. We will form a CSC cluster and have fun.
See you there!

Hi all,
The Computer Science Club will be holding elections for the Spring 2016
term on Thursday, May 12th at 19:00 in the MC Comfy (MC 3001). During the
meeting, the president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary will be
elected, the sysadmin will be appointed and ratified, and the librarian and
office manager will be appointed. There may be timbits.
If you'd like to run for any of these positions or nominate someone, you
can put your name in a special box on top of the fridge in the CSC office
(MC 3036/3037) or send me (Patrick) an email at cro(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca. It
is highly recommended to send me an email in addition to nominating
yourself by paper in the office. You can also deposit nominations in the
CSC mailbox in MathSoc or present them to me in person. Nominations will
close at 19:00 on Wednesday, May 11th (24 hours before the start of
elections).
All members are welcome to run! Especially new members and anyone
interested in being a new exec! Most of the roles have a small guide on the
wiki at https://wiki.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/Exec_Manual and I will print out a
hard copy of a more comprehensive exec manual and bind it myself, I swear.
Voting is done heads-down hands-up, and is restricted to Mathsoc social
members.
