Trever submitted the UAF request for next semester. He requested a ton of money for stuff. I didn't get it all, so he should post a list here later. :-)

He also upgraded the registration site a little.

Dec 4 we are holding our student faculty get together from 5-9. We'll have the whole game room rented out, and the department will be providing food. Rough head count of people interested was 13.

We're still doing the movie night we planned earlier in the semester. It will be Wed Nov 25 at 6:40.

Also, this Friday we'll be having a code workshop in the lab at 7pm.

We have a banner!!! Yay!!

Dr Liszka says stuff:

She is the editor of an annual newsletter that'll probably be put out in January. She's looking for articles.

Ideas for the ACM: programming contest, child's play, graduating seniors, future ACM events

She'll also have stuff about alumni, faculty research, other upcoming events, etc.

During finals week, they're having a special "computer science education" week. We might invite alumni to our student faculty bowling night (which is Dec 4). But she's looking for other ideas for what we can do that week.

The programming team will be meeting for the competition on Fri at 4:30. Meet in the lobby of CAS. Have your bag packed and ready to go. You'll also need your waiver if you haven't already filled it out.

We have a scratch box development environment. Yay! The department gave it to us. Trever is installing Fedora 11 on it. Let him know if you want an account. It has android, irobot, imobile, other stuff.

We also have a nice table throw that should be in soon.

Trever is ordering the new hardware for the server. We'll have 1 TB of storage available for everyone to share soon.
