Merry almost-Christmas Chapter! As an early Christmas present, KTH has decided to revoke our direct access to the garbage room. From now on, you’ll need to use one of the special cards we got from THS to get in. These cards will be kept in the storage room, in a cardholder with a cerise strap. The code for all the cards is 8320. These cards MUST be returned to META after use and must not be taken anywhere other than the garbage room, META, and the path between them.

We have also been given the responsibility to keep the garbage room and the place where we dispose of glass extra clean during week 8 (February 17–23) and week 18 (April 28–May 4).

Try to keep things tidy as usual so everyone stays happy, and have a Merry Christmas (or any other holiday you celebrate)!

Hello everybody!

Don't forget that you can submit proposals with motivations to the Delta of Honor and the Great Delta.

More description below:

The honorary delta is the section's finest badge of merit and is awarded to the chapter 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

The Great Delta is one of the chapter's most important badge and is awarded to the chapter member who has done a big achievement for the chapter, thus accomplished a great individual feat.

Hey chapter!

Unfortunately, not enough people have signed up for the machine embroidery workshop, so we're gonna push it to January instead (sometime after dÅre).

Rest well meanwhile, and I wish you all merry a Christmas, and a happy new year!

Hi! There are only a handful of tickets left for dÅre (about as many as a woodshop teacher has fingers on their left hand!). So, if you or another THS member want to join, this is your lucky day!

When: January 12–16 Price: 4300 SEK (up to 1000 SEK reimbursed for computer science students!) Why: Super fun parties and amazing skiing!

If you have any questions or are interested in a ticket, contact dare@datasektionen.se.

See you on the slopes!

Hi chapter! Later in December METAdorerna will have a Tapp event and we need your suggestions for what should do! A 'Tapp' is METAdorernas whole-day event for bigger fixes in META that are difficult to do during regular days. If you have any suggestions or things you want to see be done feel free to write it here! https://forms.gle/RgvAgF3Nba9qqqpP6

Now the day order is out for A Day before [...] Christmas-DM which is held tomorrow (12/12) during lunch in the meeting room in META. There the board will discuss, among other things, changes in a few PM's and the signing of the Cohabitation agreement with the Media chapter for 2025.

The day order can be found, together with the summons and the decision protocol, on Google Drive, here.

See you at DM!

Sincerely, the D-directorate

It is with a heavy heart that Prylis announces the last sale of the semester, tomorrow at lunch!. It's sad to think that the fun is already over (because it will be my last sale as Prylis).

The title pretty much speaks for itself. The Lost and Found next to the stairs to the catwalk in META will be emptied shortly. Please make sure you have no belongings in there.

Hi chapter!

Another study period is nearing its end, and once again, the computer science students face their eternal nemesis—math exams.

But fear not! The Study Board is here to help you prepare and give you the best possible chance to succeed in your exams!

We will be organizing two exam workshops in E35 from 14:00 to 18:00 on December 16th and December 19th. These workshops will simulate the actual exam environment, and we’ve even created custom exams for Basic Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra that you won’t find anywhere else!

More information can be found, and you can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/tentastugap1

Of course, you’re also welcome to join without signing up, but we’ll be basing the refreshments on the number of sign-ups. See you there!

PS: Obviously, we're going to provide free fika!

Hi dear chapter!

Participating in educational quality assurance has long been a thankless job. Therefore, the student chapter has decided to organize a thank-you dinner for all the heroes working to improve our education!

We will host a Christmas buffet at Kröken(Nymble) this Sunday (8/12) for those who have previously served as student representatives on course committees or in other contexts.

Our apologies for the late announcement, but we sincerely hope you will be able to come and let us show our appreciation anyway!

You can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/bevakningsmiddag

Warm regards, The Study Board

Hi, chapter!

Thank you once again to everyone who attended the lunch lectures we organized to help prepare for the thesis project!

As promised, the slides from the lectures are now available for review here: https://dsekt.se/thesis-slides.

Do you have complaints, opinions, or thoughts on how the Computer Science program can be improved? Swing by the Complaint Lodge on Thursday (Dec. 5th) during lunch (we we're in META) and leave your thoughts in exchange for fika.

Don't ask what KTH can complain about you, ask what you can complain about KTH.

Hello chapter! Are you interested in booking META for some event on a friday or saturday in P3? Then write it in this neat form: https://dsekt.se/boka-meta

Today the new dbuggen, Vampire-dbuggen, is released at the Prylmångleriet sale. It costs an insignificant amount and can be read an infinite number of times, which means it is effectively free.

The only question that remains is whether YOU dare to read it. Come to META and buy it during lunch!

We have patches, key chains, stickers and BELTS (in dark mode) We will be on our usual place outside of META during the lunch hour

Now the day order is out for the coziest SM of the year, Glögg-SM, which will be held in a week! There, next year's board will be elected, many rhymes will be read and much glögg will be drunk.

The day order can be found, together with the summons and decision protocol, on Google Drive, here.

See you at SM!
