In accordance with our statutes §4.4 Brådskande ärenden and §4.8 D-rektiv I hereby issue a D-rektiv.

It’s about drive, it’s about power, we stay hungry, we devour

Put in the work, put in the hours, and take what’s ours

I wish to thank everyone who has been a part of our chapter during 2021, both our electees and project leaders who have done an amazing job, and all our members who have participated in the activities that the chapter has held during the year. Despite the current situation in society, you have shown an amazing drive to create the best community for all of us to enjoy together. I’m looking forward to seeing what those who are staying on or just starting their elected period will achieve, and I 100% fully trust that it will be great!

With those words I whish you all a happy new year!

See you in the ring – Johan Hamredahl, President 2021

Hey hey!

According to tradition, DKM has a collection together with musikhjälpen every year. This year we will, however, not have a musikhjälpen-pub as we usually arrange. Instead, everyone who donates will be allowed to queue a song during the first pub of next year, the THEMEPUB on the 26/1. In order to donate, click here ♥️ This year, musikhjälpen aims to create a better would, without child labour.

Thank you!

Hiya Chapter members!

Have you had any problems with your studies in the last year? Do you long for some fika? Has Santa not brought the presents yet?

Come to L21 during lunch on Wednesday in that case! SN and JN hold a complaint cottage (i.e open meeting) there and in addition to the opportunity to complain about ** everything**, there is also fika and a gift for the first 30 who come.

Check out the FB event for more info!

Hi again.

At the Mulled wine chapter meeting tomorrow we will have to validate vaccination certificates for all attendees, in accordance with the new guidelines from THS.

You can get your vaccine certificate at covidbevis.se.

If you are not vaccinated or you recieved your vaccine outside of the EU and therefore cannot get a vaccination certificate you will only be able to attend the chapter meeting if less than 100 people attend.

If you for medical reasons cannot get vaccinated you need to provide a medical certificate instead.

Hi everyone!

THS has recently released new guidelines for COVID-19 based on the new restrictions from the Public Health Agency of Sweden. THS has concluded that all events within THS (including chapter activities) fall under general gatherings and we therefore need to follow these restriktions.

Ofcourse the previous restrictions still apply, which can be read about in detail here.

Besides these we want to emphasise the new requirements for vaccination certificates for attendees of events with more than 100 attendats. This means that for all events and activities hosted by the chapter where the number of attendats exceed 100 all attendants must show a valid vaccination certificate.

If you are vaccinated, and recieved your vaccine within EU, you can acquire your vaccine certificate at covidbevis.se. If you recieved your vaccine outside of the EU there is no way to currently get a vaccination certificate in Sweden and you can therefore not participate in events with more than 100 attendants. Persons who for medical reasons are unable to get vaccinated must be able to provide a medical certificate instead, as seen here

Here are the election documents for the election in the uppcoming Glögg-SM
Don't forget to vote in the Urnval!
Standard Election Documents
Urnval Election Documents

Hello chapter! The year is the year is almost at an end and this means that a financial statement for the year 2021 must be made within a reasonable time and hopefully not be postponed a lot. In order for a financial statement to be made, all bookkeping must be done, including all the year's expenses in cashflow. The D-directorate has therefore specified some deadlines for when you must register your receipts in cashflow at the latest

Deadlines are as follows: Expenses from November or earlier must be registered in cashflow and reciepts put in the folder no later than January 16:th. Expenses from December must be registered in cashflow and reciepts put in the folder no later than January 31:st

Hello, today KTH will hold a so-called "Storträff" (grand meeting) between 12:30 and 16:30 on Zoom. This meeting is divided into a number of parallell discussion rooms that deal with a number of topics relating to education and equality.

For the schedule and zoom links, see this link (in Swedish): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uv07s6JTMQJ_vxIr-znFNZNz31D0i5MS6boZlsyLfIc/edit#heading=h.kkhcbq3fr1wj

Note: I am not sure if there will be discussions in English or not.

Due to some technical difficulties the Urnval voting will be held fysically.

Every day in META up to the Glögg-SM between 12:00-13:00 there will be an opportunity to place your vote.

To be allowed to vote you need proof that you are a part of the chapter (mecenatkort) and a valid form of ID.

Due to some teknikal difficulties the candidate presentations will be available here instead:
David Puustinen for chapter president
Pontus Söderlund for vice chapter president
Adam Sjöberg for paymaster
Fabian Andréasson for paymaster

Hello! Next saturday the chapter hall group will have fix-stuff-in-the-chapter-hall-day therefore we are gathering suggestions for META. Do you feel like something is missing in the chapter hall or if something is broken then you can fill out this form and the chapterhall group will look into it.

Ior, the chapter's systems engineering/admin group is recruiting officers to help administer the myriad of systems that we use every day. If you would be interested in that sort of thing, send me an email at d-sys@d.kth.se!

I realize that those of you who would read this post in English are probably all exchange students, and have not gotten a lot of info as to what Ior actually does. It's a committee/club that is dedicated to bulding, maintaining and migrating systems that the chapter relies on for various purposes, such as user login, bookkeeping, publishing news, holding elections etc. almost every day. This, like everything else in the chapter, is done pro bono, and the main goal is to have fun and learn together, because KTH does not really teach us much about how to actually build, deploy and maintain live systems.

The chapter "compensates" members by providing access to systems that cost money otherwise, such as an enterprise Github organization as well as a fully paid for AWS account that we can utilize and play around with.

The Google Form that is attached to this post is in Swedish, so I don't know how well that would work for you, so ignore that and just contact me directly in case you are interested in knowing more or taking part! My email is once again d-sys@d.kth.se.

Link to application form The form closes 23:59 on December 2.
