Planning a coding party/club that never ends. Club lab to be located on Wellingdon/Hasting. Looking for undergrad, grads, and newly employed interested in pizza and hacking. Club will be 0. a non-profit org (eventually--it makes the donation-based tax-writeoffs possible for our donors): 0.1 first we need a constitution (recycled from the hard earned experiences of past geek clubs) then we just need... 1. geekness (please come to code and hack, if you don't code it's probably because you are still learning and want to learn), 2. manpower (all of us take turn putting up dance parties, meetings, community volunteering, letter-writing for computer and bandwidth donations from industries), 3. friendliness (we constantly look for new blood through open houses and active recruitment during opening week of every semester and we want to help make other's first year of college experience less intimidating), 4. sense of family (always wash your dishes, keep the nuker clean, take a bath) 5. dedication (everyone is expected to do one major project per semester). 6. and independance (we don't beg for school assistance, nor want a piece of your student body fee--we pay for our own club houses and raise money ourselves--we try hard to get donations. we pay rents.) Club will not be: A. a greek house (if we have underage folks, our parties stay alcohol free), B. a student body or special interest C. a user group of any OS or language (the club is agnostic, don't come to preach.. but do teach..if random club member is willing to give a seminar on embedded linux or dissect a siggraph paper in front of a crowd-- we won't complaint) D. a general stinky place to lurk/check email/surf pr0n/buy cheap soda (there are plenty of school places to do that already--try the radio station), E. a chance to build 3l337 black ice hacker circles with access to trillion dollar uber ship-simulators (try lowly embeddible motorola chips robots and automations's instead--or porting GNU stuff--that will be the more likely norm with our budget) Please contact me and join us in applying and planning what we're gonna try first: -- Lee, proto-secretary of the club (obi_spam_spam_spam_ss_pp_aa_mm_wantcp@hotmail.com) (rid the spam and the underscores)
