We tabled Wednesday and Thursday
Wednesday Night was Mesa Night
Got kids and parents interested in CS related fields
Thanks Dan Langridge and Chris Mueller for helping out
Thanks Chris Mueller, Gabriel Limon, and Brandon Huyhn for letting us use your projects or gadgets to show off
Thanks Christine Hawley and Tina Wang for the new sexier poster board

Thursday night of E-Week (Feb 21st) was BCOE Dodgeball Tournament
Thanks to everyone who signed up and represented ACM
We didn't win this time so we need to adjust our head tracking algorithms!
Also, feel free to organize sporting events with your ACM friends. That's what those jerseys are for.

In progress, starting beginning of next quarter
If you signed up, expect a bunch of emails soon and if you haven't signed up, please do
Thinking about structure, frequency, content
Ideally, I'd like it to be:

Twice a week
Hour long periods. First half is an introduction to new technology. Later half is optional working time to ask me questions and play around
Self-paced. All material will be available from start, but I'll cover it on a scheduled basis
Recorded for others to look back on later

Our Lan Party will be this Friday, March 8th, from 5pm to some unknown time
(Pre-emptive) Thanks to Grant Brady for volunteering to setup the systems
You might be asked to move computers or move down to one of the other lab rooms while we do setup. We might start setting up as early as Thursday so be aware.
Feel free to bring your own laptop with all of your cool Steam Games
Games provided will be (tentatively) L4D2 and TF2
Food will be provided. IEEE will provide Energy Drinks.

If you have a design for the new ACM T-Shirt, please submit it by tonight before midnight
We will email a poll to everyone about the designs and ask members to vote on them

At either or next or next-next general meeting, we want to hold Officer Elections
Officers that must be replaced:

All positions are up for grab, so if you're interested, you need to let us know RIGHT NOW
This is to make the transition for new officers easy and to hopefully guarantee people who care take over ACM
If you are interested in any position, please let us know via email or posting on our facebook page

We haven't heard a lot of feedback from the lower division classes, but we're likely doing tutoring sessions for CS 10/12/14/61/120A this quarter
If you want to help hold a tutoring session, please let us know
If you want us to hold a tutoring session for your class, let both us and your professor know so we can set it up

Professors Linard and Miller are currently looking for assistants to help them with tasks related to the online CS course they'll be hosting next quarter
You don't need anything but a CS10/2 level experience so this is a great position for beginners
If you are interested, please email blinard@cs.ucr.edu for more information
