Unix 101 - Tonight at 5:30 in MC 3003
by Computer Science Club 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hi all, Unix 101 will be held tonight (October 12) at 5:30 pm in MC 3003. New to the Linux computing environment? If you seek an introduction, look no further (you can if you want we're not the police). Topics that will be covered include basic interaction with the shell and the motivations behind using it, and an introduction to compilation. You'll have to learn this stuff in CS 246 anyways, so why not get a head start! If you're interested in attending, make sure you can log into the Macs on the third floor, or show up to the CSC office (MC 3036) 20 minutes early for some help.

Hi all, This term, the CSC has received funding from MathSoc to make club t-shirts. As such, we'd like to put out a call for t-shirt design submissions. Email your t-shirt design ideas to exec(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca, and we will put selected ideas up to a vote. Design ideas do not need to come with artwork (though that would also be appreciated) and should ideally be printable in one color. The deadline for idea submissions is 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, October 5th. As well, if there are members with artistic talent who would be willing to help us execute the selected idea, please let us know at exec(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca Thanks, Marc Mailhot Secretary Computer Science Club

"What is the Free Software Movement" is good (but that's been done)). Anyone with something interesting to present is encouraged to apply, and everyone with an interest is encouraged to attend! There will also be exhibitor information booths. I'm still drafting up the Call For Exhibitors, but I'd like to extend an early invitation to CSC to have a free (as in gratis) information table.
