META closes for the Chapter Fair

Attention, all Chapter members!

META will close the 6th of February between 13:00 and 17:00 to make room for the Chapter fair which is organised by the Election Committee. This doesn't mean that it won't be possible to visit the hall, only that it won't be considered a study environment while it's closed. In other words, it will still be possible to heat food and fullfill errands in the afternoon. All members are highly encouraged to visit the fair as it's both exciting and informative. More information about the event will be posted soon in relevant channels.

Patch-sale today!

Happy Ovve-Wednesday (tragically not an alliteration in English)! Today's patch sale will be hosted in the hall / mudroom of META. <3

Application to tech-i-taka closing soon

Application for Tech-i-taka (the computer science football team) closes next Friday at 23:59 (February 2), don't forget to apply now!!!

Information about chapter mapping

Dear chapter members, here is a message from the KF-representatives.

KTH has decided to shut down Campus Södertälje and Campus Kista, and to introduce a new program, TINTE.

This means that THS will need to change how programs are mapped to chapters. The consequences for us at the Datasektionen are not yet certain but will likely be decided at the next Student Union Council.

More information regarding concrete proposals can be found here Note that the documents is only available in swedish

The proposals most relevant to us are:

  • Proposal 4. Move Cybersecurity from D to IN
  • Proposal 6. Reorganize D, Me, and IN into two chapters
  • Proposal 7. Welcome IN's original programs into the EECS chapters

If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions; contact us, the KF representatives, at [email protected].

Our current stance is to maintain our current structure as it is.

No Wednesday pub this week!

Hello all dear! We're not arranging a pub this week - but don't fret - it'll be a maxxed out BLUMS-DROP-PARTY-PUB next Wednesday! Ticketes to the event will be released for DKM's yearly event for a maxxed out party at Häggvik's Beach Club!!

This venerable institution has its roots all the way back in 1985, when the magazine was spontaneously founded, and ever since, Redaqtionen has continuously published dbuggen once per period.

Apply before 12 February, or live in regret for the rest of your life.

Reminder to submit motivations to Hedersdeltat

Hello everybody!

Don't forget that you can submit proposals with motivations to Hedersdeltat.

The honorary delta is the section's finest badge of merit and is awarded to the section members who have particularly meritoriously worked for the section on a non-profit basis.

Submit proposals at: dsekt.se/hedersdelta Previous recipients and motivations can be found here: https://datasektionen.se/sektionen/hedersdelta

D-rektiv

In accordance with §4.4 Brådskande ärenden, I exercise the powers of the D-rektoratet to issue a D-rektiv in accordance with §4.8 D-rektiv regarding the life and livelihood of the chapter members.

For a long time, I have been looking for life advice that describes the attitude I have had during my time at KTH and as an active member of the Computer Science Chapter.

It was only this fall when I attended D-sektionen at LTH's autumn ball, this year called the Jan Ericsbalen, that I found my life's advice. During the dinner, Inspector Anu took the stage and spoke about her recently deceased husband, Inspector Jan Eric, and how he had been there for D-sektionen for many years and how much he loved it. Inspector Jan Eric had been there to guide the chapter and had been the advisory adult in the room.

Anu then told me about a piece of advice that Jan Eric used to give, and I have never before heard anything that so accurately describes how I feel. It is his life advice that I am now reproducing.

D-rektivet reads as follows:

Don't let studies get in the way of your education.

I can't say that Jan Eric was anything but right with this advice. The studies at KTH are only part of one's lifelong education. If you make use of your time by getting involved in the Computer Science Chapter, you can get things that KTH cannot give you. Abilities in leadership, planning and communication are just a few of the many things that the Computer Science Chapter has given me.

For those who wonder how they can have enough time for both the chapter and the school at the same time, I want to say as they usually say in the student world: either your studies consist of five boring or seven fun years.

Speaking of years, this has been an eventful one. The chapter has made more decisions than in any previous year, Quarnevalen came to an end after a 6-year hiatus with CERISE at the head of the train, we had a D-Dagen that was bigger than ever and the Computer Science Chapter celebrated 40 years with a dJubilee in the highest class.

My thoughts also go to our recently deceased honorary member Stefan Arnborg, who was involved in creating and developing the Computer Science Programme. Thank you for everything you have done for us on the D-programme. Rest in peace Stefan.

I would like to urge the chapter to make sure to take advantage of the chapter's history and cherish its alumni. There is so much knowledge that must not be lost and there is much useful information to be gained. Why reinvent the wheel when it's already been done so many times before?

Thank you to all the elected officials, officers and everyone else who has been involved in any way with the chapter in 2023. The chapter is what we make it and I am so excited to see the direction we are moving in. The chapter is in a much better place now than when I started in 2017.

Finally, I would like to wish the entire chapter and its members the best of luck in 2024. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve through your commitment, and remember:

Come on, it's going to be kul!

See you in the fog - Douglas Fischer, Chairman 2023

LOOK HERE! New dbuggen issue out now

Book META in P3!

Happy Wednesday and Merry dmas!!

Hopefully META will still exist next year! If so then it's about time to start making some bookings for P3! Bookings on Fridays and Saturdays are slightly more attractive than other days, so these are done through a form where you can specify multiple dates that suit you.

If you want to book META on Fridays and/or Saturdays during P3, please fill out this form: https://dsekt.se/meta-p3

Another (belatedly announced) complaint lodge!

Hello dear chapter!

The study board will once again be holding a complaint lodge in META today! We apologize for the late notice but hope you can forgive us for this!

As compensation, we, as usual, offer goodies in exchange for feedback on this period's or semester's courses, so don't hesitate to come forward and share your thoughts!

Hope to see you in META and good luck with your studies!

PSA regarding theft

Hello chapter! Here is a small PSA.

Unfortunately, there have been multiple instances of theft on campus during the semester. Therefore, we would like to ask you to keep an eye on your belongings at all times. That also applies in locked areas such as computer halls and restrooms. Also, make sure to not let unauthorized people in to the buildings.

If you, for any reason, feel unsafe, or if you want support from KTH security staff, feel free to call their number 08-790 7700 at any point during the day or night. The phone number also works if you would like to report a theft or if there are unauthorized people on campus.

You can also always contact the chapters SMA, Axel at [email protected] or JNO, Jennifer, at [email protected].

Good luck with the last few weeks of the semester. May the odds be ever in your favor on your last exams/labs/assignments.

Amanda, D-SOL

Election Documents Glögg

Whoopsi daisy, apparently it wasn't the last time we saw each other this year.

Lo and behold, the election documents for Budget-SM as well are now available at dsekt.se/valhandlingar (in swedish). There may not be a lot of candidates this time around but it's still worth a read.

Have a dELECTable day, The CS chapter Election Committee
