Our longer running 2010 programming competition has just launched and you can find all the details on the site, http://progcomp10.uwcs.co.uk/. There will be 5 problems to solve, one each week for the rest of the term, and some great prizes for the top solutions.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch via email or IRC, and good luck to all who enter!

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Thanks to favourable power situation in Lib2 we decided to extend signups by 10 spaces to a total of 70. Therefore if you missed your signup now is your chance.

Please note: The 5th table in the seating plan is imaginary, please do not use it.

Guest signups for BFL at the end of term 3 are open as of now. This is due to problems with SU authentication which were out of our hands. Standard members are advised to signup as soon as possible in order to get a place.

BFL signups for the LAN in week 10 (22-26 June) are now open to all members. Guest signups are due to open on June 3 in order that priority be given to our members.
Further details on the BFL can be found here: http://uwcs.co.uk/events/details/1007/

Good afternoon!

This is just a final note before tomorrow's trip to watch Star Trek tomorrow to confirm some final details. Hopefully, you've all bought your tickets by now (though there are still some available, according to their website). If you elected to collect your ticket from the box office, it might be advisable to make a note of the reference number before leaving tomorrow.
As there is no allocated seating, if we wish to sit together we will probably need to arrive quite early, and as such we're...

As you should be able to see, today we have rolled out a new website. We hope that you like it, and find it easier to use. However, please note the following:

h1. Bugs

Despite best testing efforts, things will be broken and/or have some bugs in them somewhere. If you think this might be the case, you should join the website irc channel, and point out what you think is wrong. If this is confirmed then you should file a ticket. It is highly possible that something may break as a result of the website rollou...

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all having a cracking Easter! Not too much going on events wise, but those cracking guys in the techteam have been hard at work planning for something quite big. In light of recent events with regard to the rise of the Conficker worm, we have decided to migrate our servers to Windows Server 2008. It was a tough decision but we couldn't leave the security of our servers at risk any longer. Patches which fix the vulnerability for Microsoft's Windows operating system have existed sinc...
