Greetings members of the chapter! I just wanted too inform you that the lost and found baskets of META will be emptied the following weeks. Be sure to take a look at it if you know you've lost something. You can find the baskets standing below the stairs to the catwalk.

It's soon time for Election-CM, and as you can hear from the name, there are a lot of positions to elect.

Go to val.datasektionen.se right awat and nominate everybody you know, or maybe yourself!?

If you're wondering what the posts do, you can check out dfunkt or the statutes for descriptions (only in Swedish for now, sorry). Or maybe talk to the current holder (if you dare).

Hello Chapter!

During next week MBD will close META earlier, the closing is in effect 2022-04-07T15:00 until 17 the same day.

Greetings dear Computer Science students! Below is a message from the Student Health office:

Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how it might affect us emotionally, the Student Health Services in Stockholm gives a lecture on how to manage worry and anxiety. The lecture covers, among other things, strategies on how to deal with worry and anxiety and how to increase our well-being. By learning to distinguish between what we can influence and what is beyond our control, we increase our ability to make constructive choices. The University Church will participate and inform about their activities for students.

A lecture in swedish will be held on april 4th between 4.15 - 5.15 pm over zoom. Link to the lecture: https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/68687048266

Additionally, a lecture in english will also be held on april 7th, 4.15 - 5.15 pm, this one is also on zoom. Link can be found here: https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/63789791559

Hello Chapter!

Revisions-SM (Chapter Meeting) this Thursday marked an important day. It was the day that project Magenta was born. Magenta is a project that aims to create a greater sense of community among girls and non-binary all over all campuses of KTH. This is to be done through the greatest event (gasque, party with food, drinks and songs :) ) of the year.

This gasque will be sometime during the fall of 2022 and the plan is to be in Nymble.

Do you want to help out to plan this event and make sure that it is achievable? Amazing! Because that is exactly who I'm looking for right now! A project group of a few excited souls is needed to create the best event KTH has ever seen. Is that you? Apply apply apply in this form https://forms.gle/nk475cuL9yuPo7Km6

Do you want to attend the event? Fun! Remember that we exist and stay up to date with this feed so that you don't miss more info!

Do you want to work at the event? Also fun! There will be future info on that as well!

XOXO Project leader for Magenta Amanda Berg

ECSC (https://ecsc.eu/) is a cybersecurity competition hosted by ENISA. The different european teams will compete in Vienna in September to decide who is best at cybersecurity.

The first step for qualifying for the senior part of the team (age 19-25) will take place through the openECSC platform, where the 15-20 participants who perform best will be invited to a bootcamp where the final team will be selected.

More information is available on KTH:s website: https://kth.se/ecsc

You can sign up to the mailing list there to receive more information!

Applications for THS Student Union Council closes this Sunday (27/3). Of course you should apply!

What’s the THS Student Union Council?

It’s sort of like the EU but with chapters instead of countries. We sit in Nya Matsalen in Nymble and discuss and vote for stuff. It’s a lot more fun than it sounds, I promise (OK, maybe not a lot more fun).

More formally: The Student Union Council is the highest governing body at THS with representatives from all chapters. The Student Union Council decided on what THS should do as well as how the yearly turnover should be used. You also elect THS’ leaders in the form of President and Board. As a part of the Student Union Council, you are an important part of the democracy at THS.

You’ll sit for one school year and the work consists of attending about 5 meetings a year, as well as ideally reading the meeting documents beforehand. It’s really nice, there will be food and nice company so come along!

After the application period is closed, members will be able to vote for candidates. Konglig Datasektionen has four mandates, as well as two spots for alternate members if the main members aren’t able to attend the meeting.

More info can be found here: https://dsekt.se/kf22-lysningstext.pdf

Survey study

Hej Konglig Datasektionen!

We are two students from Karolinska Institutet who are studying the last semester of the Occupational therapist program and are in the middle of writing our thesis. We therefore wonder if you would like to participate in our study, which deals with how distance learning has affected various daily activities of university students.

You can participate by filling in the questionnaire below (note: questions in Swedish only): https://forms.gle/ecyxoGZiA72U1jA4A

The best section in the world

In just a few days (¡¡1 day !!) the application for the 2022 Reception will close and being part of the Reception is an opportunity you really don't want to miss during your time here at KTH. You meet so many great new people, you develop as a person on so many different levels, make contacts and you create memories for life both for yourself and many other people, which is a really cool and rewarding experience. There are a lot of questions and concerns about the reception and what it means to be a part of it, so in Titel 22 we have put together a nice little Q&A session below where we answered the most common questions we have come across. Read and see if YOUR questions are answered in this FAQ

Can you apply for Reception if you are not in Year 1, have not been to Reception before or don't know anyone at Data at all

• YES! As a group works best when it is made up of many different types of people and we want everyone to find someone in Reception they can relate to, we actively seek to mix age, section involvement, year group etc as much as we can. 🥳

Can you apply if you haven't been section active before?

*YES! It is absolutely fine to do so! If anything, Reception is actually a super great place to get to know new people and is a great way to get into section life! 🎉

Do you have to be good at school to be in Reception?

• NO! For us, it's important that you are excited and ready to put your love into Reception work 🥰

Do you need to be able to act or sing to be in the Drifveriet?

• NO! We like to say that Drifver is not something you are at first, but something you become. You will have the opportunity to practice the drifter role a lot during the spring and summer so it is absolutely not a requirement. The most important thing is that you are eager and eager to learn how to develop your stage personality. The rest will work itself out!

Do you need to be able to take pictures to be in the Doqumentary?

• NO! It is of course a plus but you have plenty of time to learn this before/during the Reception. In addition, there are several other responsibilities such as sound and light within the Doqumentary where you don't do much photography at all.

Do you need to know how to cook to be in the Quisinery?

• NO! The Quisinerie does much more than just cook! Of course, it is nice if you know how to boil water, for example, but you learn all the important cooking details along the way!

Do you need to know bookkeeping or other finance-related skills for the Economerie?

• NO! All this will be learned during the Spring and Reception! The most important thing here is that you have an interest in it

Do you need to have been a leader before to join the Daddery?

• NO! As long as you are excited about getting to know new people and have an interest in leading a group, leadership comes naturally

**Do you miss much at school if you are in the reception?

• I would dare to say no! The first three weeks of the reception are before the start of school (unless you are retaking your exams from spring courses). The rest of the weeks, reception-related things usually happen on weekends or after school. It is absolutely possible to be in reception and not have to worry about it affecting your schooling!

Can you work during the summer and be part of the reception?

• YES! Reception work starts in the first week of August, which means that you basically have 2 months to work in the summer, which usually works out well to plan for. Many people have worked during the summer before the reception and made it work, it's just important that you can be completely free until the reception starts on the 8th of August (otherwise you might be able to find compromises)

Does the reception extend over normal school weeks? What do you do in the reception then?

• YES! We answered this question a bit earlier, so look a bit further up here for more detailed answers! But briefly, there are a few events, it could be holding a sitting one weekend or being out at Osqvik! 🌞

What does a normal day in the reception look like?

• During the on-call/intensive weeks, the days always start with breakfast in META! The rest of the day varies a lot depending on which branch you are in. There are superb examples of what a normal day might look like in each branch on our instagram: janifattar! Go check it out there! 😎

When does the reception start?

*Reception has a few events throughout the spring and summer but officially Reception starts in full on the 8th of August this year! 🗓️

So if you're the least bit interested or even just want to know more, Apply to THE RECEPTION and you can get further answers during the interview Hope to see you at the pub this Wednesday 🥳🥳 Apply HERE: datasektionen.se/reception/janifattar
