Spring 2021 Fees waived + Election Results + Titus Winters Tech Talk (June 10th) + Speed Friending (June 15th)

by Computer Science Club

Hello all, Hope you're all having a great summer so far. A few updates for the month of June: MathSoc has decided to waive club fees for the Spring 2021 term. If you are a current CSC member who has already paid for Spring 2021 membership, your membership has been extended by one term. If you are a current CSC member whose membership is expired for the Spring 2021 term, you can email syscom(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca to have your membership renewed for the term at no cost. ------- Spring 2021 elections have concluded. Here are your executives for the term: - President: Kallen Tu (k4tu) - VP: Gordon Le (g2le) - AVP: Ravindu Angammana (rbangamm) - Treasurer: Neil Parikh (n3parikh) - Sysadmin: Max Erenberg (merenber) The unfilled positions this term are Office Manager, Librarian and IMAPD. ------- Become inspired in an upcoming talk by Titus Winters on June 10th from 7-8pm ET, who will share how good team culture can positively impact code! Titus Winters is a senior staff software engineer at Google, the chair of the global subcommittee for the design of the C++ standard library, a teacher and an author. Over the years, Titus has started several Google projects that are believed to be in the top 10 largest refactorings in human history. This unique scale and perspective has informed his thinking on the care and feeding of software systems. In this tech talk, Titus will discuss the roles of individual contributors, team leads, and managers in fostering a good culture, and show how this has a positive impact on project outcomes. Titus's talk will hit many teamwork and leadership themes of the "Software Engineering at Google" book, and the habits that have made his teams successful.

Come hop on a Zoom call with us to get a chance to connect with others in our community. Like last term's event, you will be able to meet others in groups of 3 or 4, with around 10 minutes to talk. An optional prompt will act as an icebreaker, but feel free to discuss anything you want! Remember to connect with the people in your groups if you'd like to stay in contact afterwards! Registration is optional; we'll just be sending you a reminder on the day of, as well as a calendar invite.
