Weekly Announce! :D
by Carri Fuery 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi Guys!! Carri here with the Weekly Announce, first of Semester 2!! (I'm the new PRO in case some of you didn't know.:D) Sorry, this might be a bit long! =RAG WEEK== Being the epic bakers we are, there's gonna be a fantastic bake sale on Tuesday! We'll be selling goodies on Tuesday, and at the Strange Things showing that evening. (providing there is some left over!) For the associates/random members who wish to donate, we have a fantabolous website. You can donate to the RAG week 09 funds and help Redbrick raise money! - http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/donate/ Also in RAG Week, we'll be holding a Dare Day! Everyone will have to get into teams, each team is given a list of tasks/dares. Everytime they complete a task, they can take a photo on a camera or on their phone to prove that they have done that particular task. The first team that can prove they did all the tasks win. You can enter in singles too but it will make it harder. ==Tech Week== Organisation for this is well under way, and personally I can't wait! ;) Tech week is from the 9th to the 12th of March 09 and Wavehunt will take place on Saturday 14th March. For those who don't know what Wavehunt is: http://wavehunt.redbrick.dcu.ie/ < That explains alot. :D ==Admin Training== Due to popluar demand RedBrick will be hosting workshops on systems adminstration this semester. If you're interested in attending these sessions please join the mailing list at: http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/listinfo/trainee-admins Members of the list will be able to discuss topics of interest, and decide the topics of upcoming workshops. Anyone interested in system administration topics may also want to join the RedBrick administration discussion list: http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/listinfo/admin-discuss ==Bots, Scripts and Triggers in #Lobby== Due to the recent spamming of Bots and Triggers in #lobby the committee have decided to begin enforcing the regulation that requires the committee's approval for bots in #lobby, https://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/regulations/ Anyone wishing to continue to have a bot in #lobby needs to email the committee at committee(a)redbrick.dcu.ie seeking approval for it, the email should include information on the bots purpose and trigger delays being used. A list of approved bots/scripts and their owners will be maintained on the website by the committee. I think that covers everything.. :) Yay, my first Redbrick Announce. You should all be proud. Peace out, Carri (^.^) (I hope I did this right!:P) -- PRO - Redbrick, DCU Networking Society 08-09 PRO - Strange Things, DCU Sci-fi and Fantasy Society 08-09 PRO - Comic Soc 08-09 CA1 Class Rep 08-09

Web server downtime, EGM correction
by Andrew Martin 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hi all, Sorry for sending two announce mails in one evening, but this is just to make you all aware that our web server will be unavailable from 9PM tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th) evening for approximately four to five hours. This is to allow us to move web services back to Murphy at long last. This work will not impact login sessions or screen sessions, but the gallery, wiki, all user sites and any club or society websites hosted on Redbrick will be down for the few hours. Also, there was a mistake in the weekly mail regarding next week's EGM. There are only two (not three) helpdesk positions available. Anyone wishing to apply for the helpdesk position must take a helpdesk exam, which will be arranged for the day before the EGM. Past exam papers can be found at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/help/exams/. Please contact train(a)redbrick.dcu.ie for more information on this. The position of PRO is also available - if you're any good at public relations and interested in this, just come along to the EGM. Apologies for the mixup, and hope to see you all at the Christmas party this week, -Andrew (werdz@redbrick, Webmaster 08/09)

hey guys * Weekly bar trip * Web Design Tutorial * Christmas Party * Intersoc Drink **** Weekly Bar Trip **** We decided the best way to get to know our users and for everyone to get to know each other is to orgaise a weekly meet.Every Tuesday we will all meet in the bar from 8 p.m on(starting this tuesday). Dont worry if you dont drink some of us dont so you wont be out of place but the bar staff are the ones who allow you in or out still :P This also gives us a chance to relax and get to know our members better. **** Web Design Tutorial **** Due to the ill advertisement of our Web Design tutorial we have decided to run this again. This will be held in LG26 at 6 p.m on Tuesday. This is usually one of our largest attended tutorials and can be useful to anyone and is great trait to know the basics of Web Design in any career path or just for fun. **** Christmas Party **** Cant wait for the Santa? Well were bringing the big man to you! Were taking over the upstairs of the slipper i week 9 or 10 (still deciding) for a night with fun, frolics, a chance to sit on santas lap and why do we sit?...
