Hi all, Here are the topics of this week's announce: =HelpDesk : Developing on Redbrick= =Admin Training= =EGM= =Irish Cancer Society Fundraiser= =Trip Away: FOSDEM= =HelpDesk : Developing on Redbrick= Date: Tuesday 19th November Time: 5pm Location: LG26 In this talk our Helpdesk team will be introducing you to our development server Pygmalion. They will be walking you through the selection of compilers and interpreters available on our systems (javac, gcc, python). If you're a code junkie or an aspiring developer, this is not something to be missed! We especially recommend this talk to anyone who has just started programming. =Admin Training= Date: Thursday 21st November Time: 6pm Location: L128 We'll be finishing off our install of the LAMP stack and taking you through setting up PHP and MYSQL. Then we'll have a beginners look at Shell scripting. As usual there will be pizza. =EGM= Due to several positions on the committee becoming available we will be holding an EGM in the coming weeks. The date and time are currently unconfirmed. The positions that will be available are: -Systems Administrator -Webmaster -Events Officer -Secretary If you think you would be interested in running for any of the above positions you can contact us at committee@redbrick.dcu.ie . If you are interested in becoming a Redbrick System Administrator or our Webmaster you will have to sit an exam. Previous exams can be found at: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/help/exams . =Irish Cancer Society Fundraiser= Website: http://www.mycharity.ie/event/katia_valadeaus_event/ Some members of Redbrick who have been affected by cancer are working together to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society. The members will be dying their hair, getting their legs waxed (ouch!) and getting cancer related tattoos. If you would like to donate, you can contact lithium@redbrick.dcu.ie . =Trip Away: FOSDEM= Dates: 31st January - 2nd February 2014 Location: ULB Campus Solbosh,Brussels, Belgium Website: https://fosdem.org/2014/ As you might be aware, a few years ago Redbrick went on the grand voyage to Brussels to attend FOSDEM (Free Open Source Developer European Meeting). This year the committee would really love to treat you and go again. The only issue is that we would have to leave Ireland on the final day of winter exams. This could pose a problem for some people, so we would love if you could email us at committee@redbrick.dcu.ie with any alternatives that you can think of!
