Welcome to the new year!

Posted on 30th September 2009

We'd like to extend a warm welcome both to previous, and prospective new members, to the new academic year.
Over the summer, we've been working to extend the range of services that we offer to our members. We now have a range of "gaming servers":http://www.steamcommunity.com/groups/uwcs operating from on campus, and also have plans laid for some great activities over the course of the next year. These include forthcoming trips to IBM, interesting talks from people in the technology industry and of course a ...

Game servers

Posted on 22nd September 2009

We're happy to say that today we opened a number of game servers for a number of source based games. These are:
Counter-Strike: Source - 137.205.210.236:27015
Team Fortress 2 - 137.205.210.236:27011
Left 4 Dead - 137.205.210.236:27010

These are in addition to existing Warsow and DoTA servers which are also being hosted on campus. Furthermore, we have a Mumble (free voice communication software) server running at mumble.uwcs.co.uk:19000.

If you're interested in playing any games with us, but particularly ...

Alternate Communication Sources

Posted on 29th June 2009

Owing in part to the extended server downtime over the weekend, we'd like to point out that we now have a presence on both "Twitter":http://twitter.com/uwcs and "Identi.ca":http://identi.ca/uwcs where you can keep abreast of society news and information. There is also a "Facebook":http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coventry/University-of-Warwick-Computing-Society/58373841841 page, should you prefer to follow the society in this way.
