Hello chapter!

🛑 ONLY APPLIES TO MASTER'S STUDENTS 🛑

📣 APPLICATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT GROUP FOR STUDS 2025 IS OPEN! 📣

Since we did not manage to fill all the entries during the first application period, we are now opening the application again! If you are the least bit interested in a management role or STUDS in general, I encourage you to APPLY or come and talk to me!

Are you a current or future Master's student looking for a fun and slightly different course? Maybe you also want to work on your leadership skills and have a little more responsibility? Then the management group for STUDS 2025 is something for you!

But, for those of you who missed it, what is STUDS? Studs is a project, and a course of 15 credits, where around 30 master's students get the chance to visit interesting companies in the IT industry during the course of the year. The project then ends with a study trip! Where the study trip goes depends on how many events we have during the year and what the group thinks!

In the management group, you get to take responsibility for your own group, develop your leadership skills, and make more contacts in both the business world and with other students. Anyone studying a master's degree and a program linked to the EECS school are welcome and encouraged to apply.

Read more and APPLY in the form: https://dsekt.se/studs The deadline for applications is Sunday 8th of September 2024

Does being in charge sound scary? Nothing to worry about! We are all new to the project so we will learn together!

Hello again all code monkeys! The summer is not yet over, so to do something before the studies continue you can take the opportunity to develop the chapter's systems a bit!

This Sunday (18 august) the Information Organ will hold a hacker day in a computer room in the E building from 14:00 until the brain segfaults (into the evening).

On a hacker day you fix bugs and implement new features on the CS chapter's systems, and also develop some new ones! Regardless of competence or prior knowledge about the systems there's always something for you to help with, so just show up!

Now there is only (about five months) left until December and with it, the start of the Christmas Calendar 2024! BUT before that, something equally important occurs, namely the Autumn Calendar which is organised for the new students during the reception period.

The Christmas Calendar is data's own CTF competition. "What is a CTF competition?" Well, the Christmas Calendar (and the Autumn Calendar) is a so-called CTF-competition which stands for Capture The Flag — (and competition stands for competition) and is a competition in cybersecurity where participants try to find text strings, termed as flags, by exploiting vulnerabilities in programs and the like.

Anyway, for us to be able to have any calendars, a project group is needed for the whole thing and therefore it's important that YOU continue to read the following points to see what YOU could help with:

Coding puzzles

Are you a clever type who loves problem-solving and are you, or do you aspire to be, on the registers of Säpo and FRA as individuals who pose a threat to the country's IT infrastructure? If so, it is in your interest to help create puzzles, it will be fun, APPLY!

Story writing/lore

Are you someone who has a talent for writing stories that will one day likely be awarded the Nobel Prize AND/OR give the government an incentive to promptly funnel money into closed care and reopen Beckomberga Hospital with you as the only patient? If so, help us write a gripping and (perhaps) autumnal/Christmassy story that can embrace this year's calendars, APPLY!

PR

Are you someone who dislikes free will and is an expert on subliminal messages and how to get people to listen even if they might not think about it, are you possibly a trained hypnotist or medium? If so, APPLY APPLY APPLY (and find the form at the bottom of the message)!

Graphic design

Is graphic design your passion and do you want virtually complete artistic freedom, APPLY!!

Fiddling with website

Are you completely fluent in everything to do with websites and/or servers and feel that you want to be involved in improving the Christmas Calendar's website to something so complete that it will be stamped as a world heritage by UNESCO, or is it so that you previously made a website through Wix for your uncle, or have you just learned about the internet and find this website stuff exciting, APPLY!

If you have any questions about the Autumn Calendar or the Christmas Calendar, just contact djul@datasektionen.se

The application form is open between June 25 and July 3!

At your service,

Jonathan Almgren Tomtemor/-far 2024

Do you like fika? 🍪 How does a whole fika-themed afternoon sound? ☀️

This Thursday (6th June) is Sweden's National Day 🇸🇪, which means the Baking Committee 🧁 and the International Committee 🌍 will be hosting a special Kafferep Picnic during the afternoon that you simply cannot miss: there will be loads of fun, a ton of free pastries, and even a tinge of Swedish culture! We'll be holding it outside, in Ugglevikskällan (a park near KTH), so it'll double as a pleasant picnic. 🧺

A kafferep is a kind of social gathering 👥 traditional in Sweden 🇸🇪 since the 1700s, involving cakes 🍰, etiquette 🤝, and a lot of fun 👽 — and, of course, our wonderful toastmasters will make this sittning-like picnic even more entertaining.

Read more about the concept and sign up (for free! 🤑) here: https://dsekt.se/kafferep

Are you in the mood to bake a truly traditional Swedish fika? 🍰 Then you're in luck. On the national day, the baking committee together with IN is organizing a kafferep and for that the classic seven kinds of cookies are needed.

So come and bake (and taste😋) some cookies with the baking committee to chill out after all the exams.

We'll ,meet in the kitchen in Nymble 13-17 on Tuesday, June 4th.

See you there!

Good morning! This Monday, Projekt Groda is holding its second section open meeting! Stop by to grab some buns and express your opinions and ideas, ask your questions, or just sit and eat fika!🍪

On request, we will also have a changing table! Do you want to renew your wardrobe? Do you have clothes you want to get rid of? Come and change! 💚💚

When: This Monday 3/6 Time: 12-14 Where: Outside of Meta

After the weekends performances it's now time to kick start next years spex. The application for METAspexet 2025s chief group is now open! All chapter members have the opportunity to apply. Would you like to lead production in one of our biggest projects? Do not hesitate! Visit dsekt.se/chef.

The application will remain open until the 13th of june.

(Note to all my dear international students reading this: Because the spex is a theater production in Swedish the chief group is expected to be able to communicate in Swedish. If you cannot speak Swedish but still want to participate in the spex I highly suggest applying for a group at the beginning of next semester.)

If you have any questions please contact me at framslov@datsektionen.se.

Unrealistically kind regards, Filip Ramslöv, Direqteur 2025
