It's time to apply for D-Forum 2026's management team/project team/day staff/aspning!

D-Forum is an annual conference between Sweden's largest computer science chapters, and will be held at KTH in the autumn of 2026. The conference consists of a weekend in October or November where the boards of the chapters gather and exchange both knowledge and culture. This takes the form of discussion sessions and tours, but also gasques and more fun activities. Being part of the project working group means taking care of all the logistics, cooking, dinners, bookings, etc. for this conference. The work will basically be centred around one weekend in October/November, and will not be particularly intensive outside of that weekend.

The easiest way to apply is via https://dsekt.se/dforum26. You have until 16 January to fill in the form.

Hi chapter!

Now is the time to submit nominations for the Honorary Delta 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 chapter on a non-profit basis.

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

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

Submit proposals at: dsekt.se/storadeltat

In accordance with §6.4 Brådskande ärenden, I exercise the powers of the D-rektoratet to issue a D-rektiv in accordance with §6.9 D-rektiv regarding the life and livelihood of the chapter members.

First and foremost, I would like to say that it has been an honour and a pleasure to serve the section as its chairperson this year, and something for which I will be grateful for the rest of my life. It has been an incredible year with a lot of changes that will hopefully pave the way for many improvements in the section. Many of the issues that have arisen have been both difficult and complex, often without clear paths forward, and in such difficult situations, it has always been this mindset that has guided me.

The D-rektiv therefore reads as follows:

"Always do what you think will be best, and as long as you can stand by it, it will probably not be wrong. "

The only thing in life you can't get more of is time, and that's why I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in the section this year. It is only thanks to you, who so selflessly give your time and energy to improve and manage the section for all its members, that it is what it is today. No matter how small or large a role you have played, you have contributed to the development of our section. On a personal level, however, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on this year's board for the fantastic work they have done and the incredible cohesion they have created this year.

In the coming years, I wish all former, current and new students on the computer science programme the best of luck in continuing to develop the section together. The relatively short time spent at KTH is, for most people, a unique opportunity to experience student culture during their formative years, and I therefore urge everyone to seize this opportunity and give student life a chance. The worst that can happen is that you don't like it, and then you can just stop. As a wise man once said many years ago:

"It's great fun! You only get a chance like this once in a lifetime."

Happy New Year, everyone!

See you during the revolution - Fredrik Blomqvist, Chair 2025

OMG the ticket release for Vårbalken is coming soon!!!! 😱

The cozy event at Osqvik to hype up for Vårbalen where you can, among other things, have a sauna, take your first dip of the year and play board games in front of the fireplace. 🔥

The event takes place between January 3rd-4th and offers dinner and breakfast with overnight stays! (But it's BYOB without glasses!) 😋

The beds go to the people who arrive early but there is the possibility of staying overnight with your own sleeping mat or similar. 😴

Be prepared on December 5th 12:30 at dsekt.se/varbalk 💖

METAdorerna x Vårbalen out! 😎

🔊CS Chapter, we have a result ✨* insert Melodifestivalen anthem ✨🔊

Forms have been submitted, votes have been counted, and now it’s time to present the result 🎤🐛 Which song will be used for CS Chapter’s Official Dance???🫣

🗳️A song that won by a huge margin🗳️ Your wish, my command... 🧞:

📣 "Boten Anna - radio edit" – Basshunter 📣

😱BUT a chapter dance isn’t a chapter dance without choreography 😱 Until Christmas, you🫵 will have the chance to share your ideas and opinions about what this choreography should include 🥳

Your🫵 pitches can be as exact or as abstract as you like, no prior choreographing experience needed, the most important thing for me is to hear what you🫵 in the cs chapter want 👀 You’ll find me in Meta, usually during lunch 🧍 If you never manage to find me, just contact me at: dancemaster@datasektionen.se 📝

(There will also (hopefully) be an event later in December where you can be there physically when this chapter dance is choreographed. A perfect chance to directly influence what the choreography will look like and to be one of the first to learn the dance. More info will come later in December.)

Hello chapter!

The year is coming to an end and that means the financial year is also coming to an end. In order to catch up with the accounting, and to ensure that all purchases from this year are uploaded this year, we will introduce a receipt stop in two phases.

The first stop will take place on the 10th of December. All purchases made before 2025-12-01 must be uploaded to cashflow by the 10th. The second stop will take place on 20th December. All purchases must be uploaded and no new expenses are to be made. Exceptions can be made if you contact us in advance and have a good reason for making the purchase. If you have expenses with errors that need to be fixed, the deadline for doing this is 2025-12-20. If you have expenses that are flagged, you need to edit the expense for the flag to disappear.

Hello Chapter!

As many of you probably know, the economy is a bit coco-bananas🍌 right now. The inflation and recession has made every pricier 😭. This even includes the price of everyone's favorite choclate, Marabou 🍫. This had strangled the budget for the chapter a bit and a lot of committees has less money to ~~play with~~ use. This even includes us 😭, Prylmångleriet. HOWEVER to help the chapter through these rough times (under some protest) we will increase the price for our patches, stickers, etc.

BUT IT'S NOT ALL BAD!! Until the end of the year, the prices ✨WON'T✨ increase! We will have the same good deals that you all love. 🤩

With that said, we only have a few sales left:

• Tomorrow - (26/11)
• The Prylis-Pub - (3/12) 🥳
• Normal sale - (10/12)
• End of year sale!?!?! - (17/12) 🤯

That was all from us. Don't forget to go to the pub next week! There will be a exclusive patch only available at the pub!

TL;DR

• Increased prices at the end of the year 💸
• Pub next week 🍺
• 4 sales left for 2025 🚨

You’ve sent in your song submissions, they’ve been processed, and now only one thing remains: 8 songs must become 1. From this point on I, xX_D4nc3m4s7er1983_Xx, have zero influence over the outcome.

All songs are included in this Spotify playlist. Make sure to listen through all of them to give each a fair chance.

Which track **represents **Konglig Datasektionen best? Which one has the greatest potential to **outshine **every other chapter on the dance floor? It’s entirely up to YOU. If you throw away your vote, you lose the right to complain about the result. With that said, vote NOW!
