We hope SISTEM helps provide a link between students and those in the world of tech and enterprise in a casual meetup environment. Redbrick DCU, DUCSS, DIT Compsoc and DU Netsoc have come together to organise the tech event of the year! Those involved in organising SISTEM are undergraduates, and they recognised the lack of an event in Ireland that targets topics in a way that doesn’t leave students with heavy eyes & boggled minds. We hope this conference helps provide a link between students and those in the world of tech and enterprise in a casual meetup environment. SISTEM will take place on the 24th of March 2018 at The Innovation Academy. The conference will start at 9:00 AM and conclude around 5:00 PM that day. During the conference, there will be speakers from an array of different companies as well as workshops and lightning talks. We have a very exciting list of speakers and workshops that will be announced shortly, as will ticket sales. Tickets will be selling at €10 per person. https://www.facebook.com/events/183840945679947/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/183840945679947/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASH: Seizing the Memes of Production ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bash is a scripting language widely used for automating day-to-day tasks, like backups, software updates, and email alerts. However, we think we can do better. Come on down to LG26 at 3pm sharp on Wednesday the 21st for a workshop where we build our own meme generator script! We'll cover conditions, I/O redirection, and all the other things that go into serving up a spicy meme. https://www.facebook.com/events/1619231874829047/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/1619231874829047/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HackerClub ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come along to L101 on Tuesdays at 16:00 to improve your programming skills by solving competitive programming problems.
