Grabbing New Members

  • SMS screen (any chance of this?)

  • Arrange new-member escorts to the room - the bottom of Cameron Hall seemed to have a distinct "you're not supposed to be here" feel, and it would also give the new members a friend right off the bat.
  • Arrange people to talk to small groups of freshers in the room.
  • Either team up with other Cameron Hall clubs for BIG A2 signage on doors and ground outside or go it alone.
  • Give new members a token for a free coke (their first dispense encounter!) and get them into the room for a chat with a few friendly 2nd years.
    • StevenLazidis: I think the free drink thing for new members worked well last year, the machine needed a sign though, the freshers couldn't find it sitting in plain sight in the middle of the room.

  • More cool things?

Posters

  • Big A0 posters are required. Any from last year still available?

  • Posters need to have the UCC name on them in an obvious way, rather than just being you-beaut pictures - it would be nice if poster designs were consistent. Who can help?

  • Update posters of various groups (Coke, Door etc)

Marketing Spiel

From 2006:

  • UCC is older than the Deparment of Computer Science - 34th year this year.
  • Cool stuff:
    • Internet coke machine - only one in Australia!
    • Manbo: Sun Enterprise server with 14 CPUs and 12 GB of RAM, running the latest Solaris Express
  • Clubroom - dozens of different sorts of computers. Eat your e-mail, read your lunch.
  • Access to webspace, e-mail, free WAIX
  • For CS students: an excellent way to get exposure to the stuff you won't get taught.
  • For non-CS students: a chance to play with the kind of equipment you only see in university and corporate environments.
  • Gamers as well - LANs etc
  • Not just a student club. Plenty of interesting people around
    • People working on Mozilla, GNOME, Flock^WSongbird (Yakk's still old guard, right?), Linux, Avahi, plenty of other stuff
  • A social club, too - our myraid events (like what?)
  • Close relationship with other CH clubs - but you don't have to join them all
  • Begin today by going up to the club, and come to Fresher's Welcome Pizza Night next week and AGM shortly after

/!\ WorldOfWarcraft is less of an issue this year, but try not to push the computer games thing too hard.
