Good afternoon Everyone, First of all, we'd like to apologise for the late announce! It shouldn't happen again! The evenings are getting shorter as we head into week 4. This week we're filling this shortening evenings with some great events. It's all about quality, not quantity. Without further ado the agenda for the week is as follows: - Screen@Redbrick - Associate Talks - Helpdesk Talks - Intercom@Redbrick ====================== = Screen@Redbrick = ====================== We've had to postpone this as we have admin exams at 6pm. So we're going to reschedule for next week and change up the movie to the cheesy 1995 classic "Hackers" Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll make sure you guys get all of next week's details sooner. We're still ironing out a few bugs on this end. ================================ = Associate Talks: elephant = ================================ Topic: "Spammers Hate Him!

Intercom has only recently had its 3rd birthday, yet it's making huge a serious impact on how companies deal with their customers. Intercom have had developers, engineers and business join them from companies as big as Amazon and Google. Come along on Thursday and see how Intercom do what they do, and what it's like to work for them. We've got: Brian White and Brian Long (make sure to call him Robin) coming to talk about running Intercom. Matthew Barrington will be fanboying to the extreme about his time with Intercom. This should be a great evening, for anyone that may have been at the inside intercom meetings throughout the year you know how interesting and enthusiastic the Intercomrades are; for those who haven't you should definitely come along and witness it first hand. Don't forget to keep an eye on our various social media soapboxes: - Twitter @RedbrickDCU - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dcuredbrick Thats all for now folks! Till next week!
