Next meeting: Wed 4th March, 1pm

h1. Academic

-Will met with president of warwick tech, they both want us to work together. Warwick tech have a lot of non CS stuff going on but would be good to collaborate on hackathons. BCS want outreach, so they liked warwick tech, although now we’re going to “share” affiliation with warwick tech. Meet up with them once a term to work out whats going on with BCS. Can include it in our branding! Overall looking good. In week 10, meet up with them and kick this off.
-Sent Chris (chair of socs committee) an email saying we werent happy but he hasnt replied. Maybe wait for committee to change? This only really matters until freshers, so possible waiting for committee isnt an option. Talked about freshers fair placement, decided to be really proactive about handing out flyers and asking other societies (eg game design) to display our posters. Hand out fliers in freshers accommodation again! 5000 flyers.
-Will has been talking to Michelle about her coming in to talk. Possibly contact other old compsoc people? Will will call people in to speak from tech companies? Will needs to find roger or Matt to see if we can have cs1.04 or cs1.01 or 007 for an hour a week in term one. MS rooms as backup.

h1. Gaming

-Wireless controllers are definitely needed for piazza screen. He (the contact for screen) wants console ahead of time, thats fine. Bring a 3DS so we can use it as an additional controller for smash. Its £40, this is fine. Put it in newsletter, post in facebook groups about it. Advertise at LAN and gaming.

-Will talked to Roger about 3D! Wall screen in 1.01! They have an IR transmitter set up for active 3D! That would be awesome. They also have a collection of (amazing/cringey) 3D dvds. 3D movie night!
