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.

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!

Hello Chapter!

Are you interested in attending exciting business events, finding summer jobs or a place to write your master’s thesis, or generally curious about work life? Then we strongly recommend registering as a substitute for Studs 2023! There are usually a few members of Studs who are unable to attend an event, which can provide you the opportunity of going in their stead! In addition to getting to know the company and their offices, each event offers fun activities, tasty food and refreshing beverages! You can also upload your CV so that the companies whose events you attend more easily can contact you regarding summer jobs, master’s thesis opportunities, employment etc!

The registration is not binding and is open throughout the spring term, so what are you waiting for? Register now at https://dsekt.se/inhoppare ! (But the later you register the more events you risk missing ;) )

Hi! Sundays from 14 to 15 we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. This week we will play Badminton. I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

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!

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

17.17 on TUESDAYS we'll play board games and Switch and have fika in META! Join us and meet new people and try out new games on this year's first qulture Tuesday!!! (Old games also available)

Hello dear exam writing students!

The study board's dear course representatives have arranged yet another extra lecture in SF1624 before the exam! It will be held tomorrow Saturday January 7 in Fantum between 13.00-15.00. Fantum is in the F house and demands that we open the doors for you. So try to arrive on time or email esmal@datasektionen.se if you are late. Unfortunately, there will be no fika this time :(

Even if you have not written your interest to attend in our previous form, you are of course still welcome to participate!

See you there!

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

The D-rective reads as follows:

Life can feel monotonous sometimes, dare to try new things. Worst case scenario is that you're more satisfied with your previous existance.

It has been a great year with many advancements, we've had a year without restrictions, the spring ball finally got arranged after being cancelled two years in a row, we've had the biggest D-Dagen ever, an epic reception, fantastic educational monitoring and good progress on external relations. There's a lot more, the Chapter is evolving rapidly.

Thanks to everyone that has made the Chapter to what it is during 2022! I would also like to dedicate a special thanks to all the officials of The Chapter that have evolved and worked for Konglig Datasektionen during 2022, the pleasure of working for and with you has been on my side. Finally i wish all the Officials a good 2023, I know that you're capable of great deeds.

See you on the roads/in the tracks/hills — David Puustinen, Chairperson 2022

Hi chapter members! It is time for Qulturmärkningen.

And what is that??? It is a Prylmångleriet and QN collaboration event where we together make a patch that represents something culturally significant in the year 2022 (often a meme). We require, of course, your suggestions of what events that could be, which you can submit by filling in the linked form.

We'll then have Qulturmärkningen the 13th from 18 o'clock in META alongside the usual board games and lots of lussebullar where you'll get the chance to vote for what event should become "qulturmärket".

On December the 14th a DM will be held in Sektionsrummet in Nymble at 17:30. At the DM, the board will, among other things, make decisions regarding the samboendeavtal for the coming year, a collaboration agreement for METAspexet, some contracts, as well as potentially close some projects.

Hello chapter!

During the first day of the Chapter meetings on the 28th of November we were not able to go trough all planned items. And due to the ammount that is remaining. it is not impossible that a third day will be needed.

Because of this, Tuesday the 6th of December in D1 will be the second reserve date for the Chapter Meeting.
