h4. Phil-related stuff

Dave to hassle Phil about attending meetings. We need to now from him the position regarding both Insomnia and Warwickpiazza. Also the state of the game servers which will go up on Insomnia, in particular there has been a recent Q3A update. We also need an FTP account on Molotov to download stuff at gaming sessions.

Welcome to the University of Warwick Computing Society's Webpage!

If you're a member, welcome - and thanks for joining the society. If you missed us at Fresher's Fayre, or have just decided that you'd like to join, the kind folks at Union North will be only too happy to sign you up.

h4. Bookets

The LUG apparently did do a page for this but weren't able to get it to us in time, so we will go ahead with what we've done but put in a paragraph about them. Adam to print these in DCS at an appropriate moment.

Insomnia is essentially ready and we are waiting for confirmation from ITS that we can put it in the...

And, finally, it's here. The new version of the CompSoc website... and by Bob it's taken some effort. I expect it will be a bit odd to navigate at first, since the main changes have been to do with the organisation of the pages - hopefully it's a bit more logical now (yeah, I wish :) ). As always, you find something broken, incorrect, or just any comments generally, send them on the back of a postcard, to J.G.Ross@warwick.ac.uk.

h4. LUG

The LUG are to have a seat on the exec, which will be filled by Tom Edwards. Dave to mail him to explain that exec meetings have started, his contribution would be welcomed etc. The LUG will also be given the opportunity to have a page in the booklet (the one available at the Freshers Fayre) and can share our space at the FF. Any contribution they make to...

Email on molotov is sorted. You can send and receive email if you have a molotov account, using your normal molotov username and password. You can even send and receive it securely, with the connection between your computer and molotov all nice and encrypted. For details, see this document

By the time you all read this, the new server will be installed and working fine (I hope!). If there are any problems with the new setup, please mail me. Those of you with dynamic PHP scripts will need to change them; for details, go to http://www.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/molotov/php.cps.
We will, at some point, have pages further detailing the services that Molotov MkII will offer you.

Edited by Phil Stoneman on 2002-08-26 20:41:58.

In order to provide better services for our members in the coming academic year, we're intending to replace the machine that is currently being 'molotov' with a brand new, sparkling, funky server. Or something. Anyway, the net effect is that services will be unavailable for a period from about 5pm onwards on Thursday (22nd) until midday-ish on Friday (23rd). Any changes made to data on molotov (eg IRC and user accounts) may not be stored. I will post another news item once everything's done. Mail me with an...

Those of you who use molotov for your email will have noticed that email's been broken for a week or two. This is now fixed. Email posted to @warwickcompsoc.co.uk will be delivered correctly. Users wishing to post by using molotov should set their mail client to use smtp authentication with their molotov username and password, on port 8025. POP3 still works as normal on port 110. Email compsoc@warwick.ac.uk if you have any queries.
