For much of the last year the LUG has talked about running regular programming sessions for project stuff. This has been called BUGFLUG/XING/QING/YING and has variously run on Monday afternoon, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. I had optimistically hoped that this kind of thing could run in parallel to gaming on fridays, but its not really been happening.Consequently I propose that we start running saturday night QING again. Try and get stuff done on projects. Thoughts? mullet

Try and get stuff done on projects. Thoughts? I think a problem we have now that we hold gaming in DCS (our primary location for *ING) is that it's too easy for us to get distracted and start playing games (especially when running alongside gaming). This means that some people will come along hoping to do something of some interest or use to the world and find a load of WUGLUG people shouting at each other over DotA/UT/Proball[0]. We also have an issue that many people won't want to give both their Friday and Saturday nights to CompSoc events and so will only go to one or the other. If people have to go to gaming because they have technical duties to perform, we make it very difficult for them... One solution might be to run XING at the same time as gaming but in the other DCS room, so we don't have the distractions of gaming unless we make the conscious decision to switch rooms. Ideally, gaming would switch rooms so we could make use of the whiteboard in CS0.01... To summarise, I agree that we need to get these events running again, but I'm not convinced that Saturday night is the time to do it.

I'm inclined to agree here, I would rather not have saturday taken over, it was just mooted as an idea time. > One solution might be to run XING at the same time as gaming but in the > other DCS room, so we don't have the distractions of gaming unless we > make the conscious decision to switch rooms. I'd rather not have this as a 'split the society' thing, I think we've had enough of that already.(Continue reading)

Well, the only reason I was making suggestions which involved splitting with gaming was that I assumed that a QING wouldn't have gaming at the same time. TBH, I don't think that just doing it in the other room is that big of a deal, especially if we're going to be going into the gaming room whenever we want to use the whiteboard... -- -- Daniel Watkins (Odd_Bloke) <D.M.Watkins@...> University of Warwick Christian Focus President University of Warwick Computing Society WUGLUG Liaison Officer

A map to the Social Studies cafe can be found at (http://brad.uwcs.co.uk/files/central.jpg), someone will be there to guide people to A0.23. Someone will also be at the learning grid in case you get really lost. -- -- Bradley Smith University of Warwick Computing Society Technical Officer University of Warwick Computing Society WUGLUG Secretary

This weeks talk on c++ by sadiq/faux is probably of quite general interest. It might be a nice idea if some flyers were spread around dcs/maths/eng on the subject. If a general flyer was made then you could probably get away with just changing the topic/picture or something for each week. mullet
