It is with great pleasure to announce that the application for Studs 2024 is now open!

But what is Studs, you may be wondering. Studs is a project where 30 master students get the chance to visit interesting companies in the IT industry. It will give you the opportunity to connect with companies you are really interested in and give you insight into what working life actually looks like. And at the end of the project, we all go on a study trip together, to a destination chosen by the whole group.

Does this sound interesting? Then you can read more and apply for the project at https://dsekt.se/studs. The last day to apply is September 24.

Hello Chapter! 🍁🚣‍

A new fall semester is upon us. With it comes autumn and a colder climate. But before it gets too cold, and the water is still somewhat warm, the sports committee will arrange another day of kayak paddling! On the 9th of September, we will once again travel to Velamsund and take the water-bound vessels out for a spin. All members that sign up are welcome.🤽🌊

The plan is to meet up at 9:00 at the bus station at Slussen. From there, we will commute together to Kihls gård, walk the rest of the way, and arrive at the kayaking clubhouse around 10:00.

Depending on how many sign up, we will split up into groups of ~20 people and paddle one group at a time. We will have one morning and one afternoon session. There will be activities on land when the others are out paddling, and if you want to go for a run or hike trails out there, you are welcome to do so! 🏃‍♀️🏞️

For lunch, we will offer hotdogs 🌭 and waffles 🧇. There will also be fika ☕ and fruit 🍓 to eat during the day.

Schedule (might be subjected to change or delays):

• 9:00 AM - We meet at Slussen to commute to Velamsund.
• 10:00ish - We arrive at Velamsund. If you need to change, you can do that now. We will serve some bread 🍞, tea 🍵 and coffee ☕ now.
• 10:30ish - The first group starts kayaking.
• 10:30-12:30 One group is paddling. The other group will be doing whatever they feel like on land. We will bring frisbees 🥏, spikeball 🏐, brännboll ⚾, etc.
• 12:30 - Lunch. Hotdogs + potato salad, and waffles are served.
• 13:30-15:30 - The second group paddles.
• 15:30-17:30 - Free time. It is possible to paddle more or do other activities on land.
• 17:30-18:00 - Time to go home. If the weather is nice and people want to stay, we could probably stay longer. 🌅

Practicalities:

IMPORTANT! You need to be able to swim to join the paddling. 🏊‍♂️

• Bring proper clothing 👕
  • Something to paddle in. 🚣‍♀️
  • A jacket to shield you from the cold 🧥
  • Warm gloves when paddling this time of year might be nice 🧤
  • Clothes for being active on land. 👟
  • Change of clothes for after you paddled. 👕

• Towel, if you fall into the water or want to take a shower. 🛀
• The Chapter is not paying for the trip to and from the location of paddling. 🚗💰

Enjoy the event and have a great time! 😊🌊🚣‍♂️

At the request of D-Dagen, the name of the artist in the contract with United Stage has been crossed out in order to have a reveal later. If you still wish to find out who the artist is, you can contact the board.

The summons, agenda, decision protocol, and discussion protocol can be found here

Good evening!

As of 1 August, all emails sent to individual board members (e.g. dnok@datasektionen.se, ordf@datasektionen.se, etc.) will automatically be forwarded to the entire board.

The purpose of this change is to reduce the risk of cases falling through the cracks, as well as to to facilitate our internal work.

For matters intended only for a particular board member, it is suggested that this be sent to kthid@datasektionen.se, where the kthid is the ID of the intended recipient. Alternatively, other media may be used, such as Slack.

If you have any questions, contact drek@datasektionen.se

Take care!

On the 5th of August, the absolute highlight of the summer occurs - namely the Stockholm Pride Parade 2023! 🌈❤ The Computer Science chapter will of course participate in the parade with its own maxed out contribution, good drinks and snacks, incredible party atmosphere with thunderous music, and last but not least - AN INSANE AMOUNT OF SOAP BUBBLES. It is a great opportunity to show commitment and dance for love, community and all that goes with it.
