Server Maintenance + General Updates
by Computer Science Club 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

Greeting, members! # System Maintenance This is a notification to inform you of scheduled maintenance of **ALL** CSC general-use servers and services to facilitate hardware upgrade for CSC's storage cluster. ## When? Thu Oct 16 8:00 PM until Sun Oct 19 8:00 PM It's likely that the switchover will conclude sooner than Oct 19, but since this is one of the largest infrastructure upgrades we've done in the past decade we want to be safe with our estimation. We will provide service recovery notice via Email and Discord announcements if the upgrade went smoothly and partial services (like our beloved HFCS) are restored. ## Why? All CSC systems will be taken offline to allow us to switch home directory hosting to our new filer (generation 3 at this point!). All CSC systems (including mails, general-use servers and web hosting) will be unavailble for the duration of our maintenance window. Make sure to save your work, and plan ahead to use a different machine during that time. # General Updates ## Matrix Server We now run our own Matrix Server! The homeserver is csclub.uwaterloo.ca, your watiam is your username, and the CSC Space should be public. ## Events Projects Program will be running on October 28th from 7 to 9pm during the series of events you can gain hands on experience working with a team on a project together, and potentially compete for a prize at the end of it! Mentee application form, apply now before October 21, 11:59 PM https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbjQeZWaTnJFB_5BZPagIKNb29b3sDUFA… Mentor sign-up form, sign-up before October 23, 11:59 PM https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScknZJvIqldskCRAIU9Fz0Xqil32LpRwoE… <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScknZJvIqldskCRAIU9Fz0Xqil32LpRwoE…> Then we've got Alt-tab on November 5th, where you can show off any basically anything, whether it be about how compilers tokenize stuff, all the way to an incredibly in secure calculator in Python.

CSC Constitution Amendment Proposal
by Computer Science Club 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hello CSC Members, We, the CSC Executives, are initiating a constitutional amendment to improve our Systems Committee (syscom) and Terminal Committee (termcom) processes and definitions, as well as to update a bit of wording. These changes intend to address some operational issues with syscom and termcom, specifically the former having many alumni and not having a clear path for students to become involved, and the latter not representing a fulfilling role nor meeting its intended "syscom-in-training" purpose. You can find the live revision of the amendment on the CSC Git here: https://csclub.ca/amendments. As per Section 10 (Amendments and Procedures) of the CSC Constitution, there will be 28 days of discussion before announcing the finalized version to go to the voting phase, which will occur in-person at our Beginning of Term event. To discuss this amendment, please join our Discord server at https://csclub.ca/discord. Look for the #constitution-amendments channel at the top of the server under the office status channel.

Sunsetting of Sorbitol and Mannitol
by Computer Science Club 15 Sep '24

15 Sep '24

Hello everyone, We are writing to inform you about the upcoming sunsetting of two of our general-use servers, Sorbitol and Mannitol. Effective September 17, 2024, these servers will no longer be available for use by general members. If you have any services or applications running on these servers, we kindly ask that you migrate them to alternative servers before the specified date. Please note that any remaining services on Sorbitol and Mannitol after this date will be terminated. After the transition, both Sorbitol and Mannitol will continue to operate as part of CSC cloud. However, both will return to be general-use servers sometime in the future. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this process. Should you have any questions or require assistance with the migration, please do not hesitate to reach out. Regards, -- Ohm Patel Systems Committee University of Waterloo Computer Science Club
