Monday cleaning
Hello hellå! It's finally time for META to start Monday cleaning. Normally it's only first year students whom are allowed to come clean, but since the nØllegroups are now pretty much disintegrated everyone is allowed to attend. During Monday cleaning we return META to its glory days by restoring the kitchen and the microwave ovens. It usually doesn't take more than 45 minutes and the work isn't that demanding.
Why should you want to help? What an exellent question!
- You get fika
- You will learn some META tips and tricks
- If you clean twice this spring you will get to attend the Clean-gasque for free (OBS. alcohol not included in the free entry) a. Cleaning only once means you get to attend the Clean-gasque half-free.
KTH actually requires us to care for META, so attend Monday cleaning and help! Otherwise they'll take our microwave ovens. The Clean-gasque, for those of you who don't know, is a gasque (20/5-2023) with a much too large budget, where a lot of fun stuff happens. So make sure to META-clean twice to attend it for free!
Monday cleaning is every Monday at 17:17 until the Clean-gasque!
METAdorerna see you... ideally on Mondays

It contains questions regarding appointment booking versus drop-in, whether you want digital alternatives to physical meetings and whether the programme web works well.

Apply to become master/international student representative at the Study Board!
Hello chapter!❤️
The studies have begun for period 3 and we now need master representatives as well as international student representatives who are dedicated to evaluating and improving the computer science program. Being a master/international student representative means that you represent your master/international student group, both at the Study Board's meetings (a half-hour lunch meeting every two weeks) and when we go to link meetings.
"What is a link meeting?", you are probably wondering. Link meetings are meetings that take place once per term, where the year representatives meet those responsible for the courses and the computer program as a whole. Where we have a huge chance to influence and improve our program!
Another important task for the representatives is to complain about courses, consume our fika budget and go to our Teambuildings!🤩
So, fill out the form and APPLY!

Important message to the Chapter
Hello everyone!
Here’s some important information from the board.
TL;DR:
The board is currently understaffed and it will be difficult for us to keep up with all the work. Please be well in advance with items you need help with.
The extra chapter meeting is on the 9th of February and a number of important items will be dealt with, including a major budget revision.
The chapter would like to have “frackband”. Send your suggestions to drek@datasektionen.se.
Few people on the board
The first thing is that at the time of writing we have four vacancies on the Board (Secretary, Vice treasurer, Board member for student social affairs and Board member forsStudent environment and equality).
This means that the board may have longer response times than usual and that we will not be able to focus on the issues normally dealt with by the vacant posts. Another consequence is that less will be done on other fronts as the rest of the board needs to take up the slack. So please be out in good time if you have matters that need to be dealt with.
Extra-SM
We will have an extra chapter meeting on the 9th of February where important motions and a major budget revision will be dealt with.
The motions that will be dealt with are
- Motion to review the acoustics of META
- Motion regarding CPR training for elected officials and chapter members
- Motion regarding the election process for members of the Union Council
- Motion regarding budget for Blums
Elections for many important positions will be held at the Extra-SM. In addition to the Board vacancies, elections will be held for several important positions,
- Programme responsible student
- Auditor
- Student Safety Officer
- Speaker.
As this is an extra chapter meeting, no other motions will be considered. Notice will be sent separately.
Frackband
During the Glögg-SM, “frackband” for the Section came up as another issue. There were various options presented during the Glögg-SM but none of the proposals were preferred by the CM.
“Frackband” are mainly used when representing the chapter in external contexts. Therefore, the design should be in accordance with our graphic profile.
Please send your suggestions to drek@datasektionen.se.
Apply for the Board-DM
On January 30th a DM will be held in Sektionsrummet at 17:30. At the DM, the board will, among other things, close a few projects, discuss some per capsulam decisions as well as a few motions in preparation for SM.
All chapter members are welcome!

Extra Student Union Council meeting
Hello all chapter members!
On Tuesday the 24th at 6pm there will be a Extra Studen Union Council meeting. We will be in Kröken, in Nymble.
All THS members are welcome to come and listen (if you are a member of Data, you are a member of THS). However, only us elected delegates are allowed to speak during the meeting, so please talk to us if you have any opinions. We are Jakob Carlsson, Noah Hopkins, Pontus Söderlund, and David Puustinen; and deputies Fabian Andréasson and Douglas Fischer.
We will discuss:
- A major refurbishment of the restaurant in Nymble, which will cost about 5 million
- Whether THS should get its own car
- Election of new members for the THS election committee (all members can apply!)
Full handouts can be found here.
The KF, or Kårfullmäktige (Student Union Council), is the highest decision-making body of THS and thus decides, among other things, what the chapters can do. A number of delegates are elected from each chapter in proportion to the number of members, and we then have about 4-6 meetings per year. Think of it a bit like the EU but for chapters and you have a pretty good picture of the whole thing. Starting next year, members are elected at the SM so look forward to that!
FIlling elections Extra-SM
Good continuation, chapter!
After a spectacular amount of acceptances last SM we still have a few vacant posts. Since Extra-SM is on the horizon the Election Committee found it appropriate to open nominations for the following posts:
- Board member for study environment and equal treatment (d-SOL)
- Programme responsible student (PAS)
- Statutory auditor
- Speaker
- Quapellmaster (project leader for the preservation of Metaspexets music)
- Vice Treasurer
- Secretary
- Student Ombudsman (SSO)
Nominate someone you know, someone you're sitting next to, or maybe in front of on https://val.datasektionen.se/ now!!!
Have a whaley pleasant day, Chair of the Election Committee
