Java Swing / Open Source Project

Posted on 2001-10-26

On Sunday week 4 (28 Oct) CompSoc will be having it’s first tutorial for this year: and it’s about Swing – Java’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). It will be from 1-3pm in Union North, Meeting Room 2. Also, the first Open Source Project meeting will be Sunday week 5 (4 Nov), in Meeting Room 4/5 from 6pm. Anyone who is even slightly interested is encouraged to come along as we will have people from last year explaining what we decided upon, you will get to see current state of the program, and you can find out what you can help with.

LAN party

Posted on 2001-10-18

There is going to be a CompSoc LAN party on Saturday, week 4 (27 Oct), in Lib1 (next to the library). Unfortunatly, all of the 18 places have already been taken, so we can’t accept any more signups (unless you want to be on the end of a 5 long reserve list!). However, if you just want to see what a LAN party is like, feel free to turn up just to look round (without your computer, of course).
