Essentially the same as a normal LAN except is themed to a particular game. The game used at this point is [[http://www.artemis.eochu.com/|Artemis]], the UCC has a non-DRM copy on Heathred to use. These LANs can generally turn into a regular one as time goes on. Note: This is a recent concoction which hasn't been hosted a great deal. Currently it is held in conjunction with UniSFA and Unigames. Essentially the same as a normal LAN except is themed to a particular game.

Over the summer break the UCC will be working on a bunch of projects in preparation for the new year and its 40th Anniversary.

Events

Event Management HowTo to be created by [SAS].

All of committee expected to work on some events, which will be further planned at the next Workshop Meeting.

LANs

Worked on by [TJB] and [BG3]

Regular LANs are UCC's common social events which are usually held in the Cameron Hall Loft in and out of semester. Overall organisation requires the least effort of all the events. A mostly up to date tutorial can be found here.

Specialised LANs

Essentially the same as a normal LAN except is themed to a particular game. The game used at this point is Artemis, the UCC has a non-DRM copy on Heathred to use. These LANs usually turn into a regular one throughout the event. Note: This is a recent concoction which hasn't been hosted a great deal. Currently it is held in conjunction with UniSFA and Unigames.

MegaLAN

The MegaLAN is the one big LAN of the year which usually attracts double the attendees and requires booking venue on campus to handle the capacity. A fair bit of money is spent on this event and requires further work and organisation to be financially sustainable. See MegaLAN2010 and MegaLAN2013

CASSA are looking to host one in association with us this year at Mt Lawley. Their venue is free to hire and requires less organisational effort from UCC, this would be beneficial for UCC members.

Tech Talks

Worked on by [SZM] and [GOZ]

Commonly the education arm of the club, Tech Talks are common events which strive to educate freshers and the unlearned about all the various wonderful tech in the world including those used in UCC. Previous Tech Talks run by [SZM] can be seen here.

[GOZ] has recently started an Introduction to Programming Tutorial which was held one Friday in Semester 1. A full series will be hosted weekly in Semester 1 2015, turnout is expected to be high.

HowToUCC

[SAS] had the idea of a first semester HowToUCC series combining the Tech Talks and Lrn2Linux to introduce members old and new to the services that UCC supplies and how best to utilise their membership. This would be a drawn out weekly series of 1 to 2 months likely hosted on a Friday afternoon with longer, slower tutorials which walked through basic concepts and services, to projects and UCC hardware.

[BG3] has started a web version at HowToUCC

[GOZ] may have been put in charge of camp stuff this year. Thanks to [*OX] and [GOZ] for doing EMP and RMP things.

[SAS] was the dummy who completed Student Leadership Training (SLT) and has to sign his name on everything.

Template sponsorship letters should be created for events like the Quiz Night and Charity Vigil
