Hi, I am taking the liberty of adding your email address to the ACM's mailing list. We meet at Marist on the third (usually) Monday of the month. Here are our Oct and Nov meetings: Oct 22 ACM Joe Kirtland The Mathematics of Cryptography: From Caesar to RSA Nov 17 ACM Art Baron Strategic Alliances for Technology Businesses Good luck with your chapter of the Computer Society.

The reason I haven't been attending was that I became the President of the Marist College Computer Society, and we meet Wednesday nights.We have a large member base (at least as far as I can tell from our first two meetings), predominantly freshman and sophomore, with a few juniors and seniors. This is a plea for help. I'm looking for both speakers (both private and company-sponsored) for our Wednesday meetings, and a sponsoring company for our "Hack-a-thon." For the meetings, we are looking for a 45-60 (over and under is fine -- I'm just happy for speakers!) minute talk. We meet at 915PM, and try to start by 925PM (After our lightning talks that I shamelessly borrowed from MHVLUG). Any talk on anything dealing with software development, hardware, networking, software, OSes, security, etc would be appreciated. The talks can be at an intermediate-advanced level, or even an introductory talk to a particular technology or field. The Hackathon date is currently being moved from its current date to a weekend in November (the 16th-18th). The date has not been confirmed, so this is tentative. We would be looking for a sponsor to: Create a problem to be solved, and announce it to our members (The Friday Night at 930PM) Judge along with faculty (The Sunday around 4) Free goodies like stickers would be a plus :-) We are not seeking monetary sponsorship, only a great employee to make our Hackathon an awesome time! The problem can be at a pretty advanced level. The executive board and myself will be creating a 'Freshman Problem' for newer developers, so there's no concern about scaling the problem -- we'll take care of our newer members. Thank you all for your consideration, and I hope the LUG has been doing great.
