> UCC is stall A08, on the Reid Library (northern) side of James Oval. Map attached to [[http://zanchey.ucc.asn.au/oday08.pdf]] - we are next to CSSC and UniSFA/Unigames. == T-shirts == Count as of 16th Feb, 8:53PM S: 2 M: 1 L: 9 XL: 4 XXL: 1 == 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 /!\ UniSFAwiki:WorldOfWarcraft is less of an issue this year, but try not to push the computer games thing too hard. == Publications == See http://zanchey.ucc.asn.au/ucc-2008/ for all publications.
