title="Unix 101">
<short>
<p>
Interested in Linux, but don't know where to start? Come learn some
basic topics with us including interaction with the shell, motivation
for using it, some simple commands, and more! (Cookies after)

New to the Linux computing environment? If you seek an introduction,
look no further (you can if you want we're not the police). Topics that
will be covered include basic interaction with the shell and the
motivations behind using it, and an introduction to compilation. You'll
have to learn this stuff in CS 246 anyways, so why not get a head start!
</p>
<p>
If you're interested in attending, make sure you can log into the Macs
on the third floor, or show up to the CSC office (MC 3036) 20 minutes
early for some help. If you're already familiar with these topics, don't
hesitate to come to Unix 102, planned to be held after Reading Week.

<p>
eth1: a day-long programming contest. Form teams and hack together a trading bot to compete against others and the markets.
</p>
<p>
Brought to you by: CSC and Jane Street.
</p>
<p>
Each member of the winning team will receive $1000 USD.
</p>
<p>
There'll be lots of (free) food and drink available.
</p>
<p>
Absolutely no special math, OCaml, or finance knowledge is required; you can use any language you like. The contest is entirely technical in nature and you won't need any visual design skills.
</p>
<p>
The exact details of the hackathon aren't released until the competition begins. The one thing you can do ahead of time to prepare is familiarize yourself with the libraries for writing TCP clients in your programming language of choice.

The contest will be on Saturday, January 23rd, from 11:00AM - 11:00PM. Signups will close on Monday, January 18th at 11:59PM, and we'll send out confirmations to participants on the 20th.
