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.

Hello,

Some of you may remember me, Travis Beatty.  I was one of the younger
members of the club, and have been unable to attend as of late.  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.
