Membership costs \$2 per term and may be paid in +advance. What does membership get you? Thats what this flyer is about, +but if you want the quick summary: your fee supports club events that are +open to all, and grants you access to club services (our computing environment, +office, cheap pop, library). It also opens up volunteer positions in the club, if you'd +prefer to do more than just pay to support our activites. + +\section*{Events:} + +During any given term the CSC will run numerous events related to Computer +Science or being a Club, or sometimes both. These events run the gamut from +socials, the most infamous being the end of term dinner, CTRL-D; through +tutorials and workshops, including an introduction to the CS student's best +friend: the UNIX environmen; to talks from professors and Computer Science +luminaries. Some talks from the past include Bill Gates in 1989 (before he +was famous), John McCarthy in 1994 (he created LISP), and more recently, +Joel Spolsky of Fog Creek Software, Bjarne Stroustrup, and Richard Stallman. +We have also toured the labs of the Institute for Quantum Computing after +enjoying a talk from the director Raymond Laflamme on the future of quantum +computation and the current state of programming available to quantum +computers. + +% Second inside column + +\section*{Services:} + +The Computer Science Club provides several services to its members, including +a computing environment with all the toppings, a library of literature, and an +office to use it all in. + +\subsection*{Computing Environment:} + +The main benefit of becoming a CSC member is to get access to our various +machines. We offer a large range of hardware, including Alpha, MIPS, +UltraSPARC, i386, and AMD64. Our primary development machine, taurine, is a +dual AMD Opteron (4 cores in total) with 8 GiB of RAM. Most of our machines +are connected via gigabit ethernet. We offer 4 GB of disk quota that is +accessible across all of our machines. Our wiki contains a full machine list. + +Members also receive a username@csclub.uwaterloo.ca email address. Mailboxes +are considered as part of your disk quota, so your mailbox may grow up to the +amount of disk quota you have. Attachments of any file size or type may be +sent. Our mail server runs a POP3, IMAP, and SMTP server with SSL/TLS +enabled. You can also access your mail via a secure web interface. + +Many of members take advantage of our web hosting service. Our web server +runs on Apache, and has PHP, Python, and Perl modules installed. We also +have MySQL and PostgreSQL databases available upon request. + +\subsection*{Library:} + +The CSC maintains an extensive collection of Computer Science related +books. The library can be browsed online by going the library section of our +website, or in person in the office. CSC members are free to borrow most of +the books in the library, with the exception of certain signed copies and +course textbooks. + +\subsection*{Office:} + +The CS Club office can be found in MC3036, it houses the library, a great +place to socialize with the restof the membership, cheap pop, and of course, +computers; where you are encouraged to eat and surf. It is open most any hour +of the night and day and populated by helpful and friendly office staff. + +% Third Inside Column + +\section*{Volunteer:} + +If you would like to get involved with the club there are various ways to +volunteer your time, beyond running for an executive position. If you'd like +to sign up the info below will tell you who to e-mail, or you can just ask +in person in the office. + +\subsection*{Program Committee} + +Headed by the Vice President the Program Committee organizes club events and +meetings, works with speakers and presenters to make sure they're happy, gets +the venues and equipment ready, and everything else involved in running talks. +If you'd like to get involved contact the Vice President at +veep@csclub.uwaterloo.ca + +\subsection*{Systems Committee} + +If system administration is more your passion, and you would like to help run +the CSC's systems contact the System Administrator at +sysadmin@csclub.uwaterloo.ca and join the Systems Comittee. The volunteers +help keep our linux computing environment up, under the Administrator's +direction. + +\subsection*{Others} + +In addition to our two large committees there are several other ways to be +involved, talk to the executive about one of the appointed positions: +librarian, office manager, webmaster, or ask the office manager about joining +the office staff. In addition to these named positions we can always use a +helping hand, so e-mail exec@csclub.uwaterloo.ca and tell us what you can do. + +% Third Outside Column + +\section*{Club Quick Info} + +\begin{description} + +\item[Website:] http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ + +\item[IRC Channel:] #csc on irc.freenode.net + +\item[Newsgroup:] uw.csc + +\item[Office:] MC 3036 + +\item[Phone:] (519)-888-4567 x33870 + +\item[Executive E-Mail:] exec@csclub.uwaterloo.ca + +\item[Facebook Group:] Waterloo Computer Science Club + +\item[Chairbeing:] Calum T.
