Hi chapter!

Another study period is nearing its end, and once again, the computer science students face their eternal nemesis—math exams.

But fear not! The Study Board is here to help you prepare and give you the best possible chance to succeed in your exams!

We will be organizing two exam workshops in E35 from 14:00 to 18:00 on December 16th and December 19th. These workshops will simulate the actual exam environment, and we’ve even created custom exams for Basic Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra that you won’t find anywhere else!

More information can be found, and you can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/tentastugap1

Of course, you’re also welcome to join without signing up, but we’ll be basing the refreshments on the number of sign-ups. See you there!

PS: Obviously, we're going to provide free fika!

Hi dear chapter!

Participating in educational quality assurance has long been a thankless job. Therefore, the student chapter has decided to organize a thank-you dinner for all the heroes working to improve our education!

We will host a Christmas buffet at Kröken(Nymble) this Sunday (8/12) for those who have previously served as student representatives on course committees or in other contexts.

Our apologies for the late announcement, but we sincerely hope you will be able to come and let us show our appreciation anyway!

You can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/bevakningsmiddag

Warm regards, The Study Board

Next Tuesday (10/Dec) at 12:00 the Systems Group 💻 (previously the Information Organ 🫏) will be hosting a Lunch Lecture with Kushal Das open to all D Chapter members with free lunch being served! 🍽️

Kushal is a core developer of the Python programming language 🐍 and part of the core team of The Tor Project. 🧅 He's a Director of the Python Software Foundation and he works at Sunet as a Public Interest Technologist. 🌍 He has over 20 years experience contributing to Open Source, and he's an avid FOSS enthusiast. 🌟

Come listen to his talk about Open Source and its role in shaping the technologies all around us. Kushal's very relevant show-and-tell will dive into:

• 🚀 How Open Source impacts the industry worldwide
• 🔧 Real-world applications of Open Source
• 🌅 How FOSS can improve our lives - from personal growth to career opportunities
• 🇸🇪 Exciting existing and future related efforts happening in Stockholm

We think this will be very interesting to everyone, especially if you're just starting as a student in Computer Science!

Hello, chapter!

I just wanted to remind you all that Glögg-SM was adjourned to the reserve date stated in the summons, which is tomorrow (5/12) at 17:30 in D1.

The items that were not addressed during the regular session will be handled then. These include the last two propositions and all motions. For a more detailed list, please refer to the documents in the meeting folder, starting from item 7.8.

Sincerely, the D-directorate, through Emma Ericsson

Next Tuesday 2️⃣ and Wednesday 💒 (December 10 & 11), the International Committees 🌍 for the D/Me/E/MiT Chapters will once again be collaborating to bring you Mediator 2024, an incredible Christmas tradition spanning two Chapter Halls. This year, the event will have two parts:

• 👷 Part 1 (Tue 10/Dec 17:17 @ META) — Gingerbread Building Competition: show off your creativity and coordination in a race to build the best gingerbread house with your friends. This will happen during QN, so you can play normal board games after the competition.
• 🍻 Part 2 (Wed 11/Dec 18:12 @ Tolvan) — Gingerbread Smashing Pub: hang out with people from other Chapters (open to all KTH!) and tear down + eat a bunch of awesome gingerbread houses.

This is a great opportunity to meet people from all over KTH and visit a different Chapter Hall than what you're used to. In addition, you'll get a one-of-a-kind super-duper-cool two-part patch for free just for attending and building! 🤑 You'll get one kitten on Tuesday and another kitten on Wednesday - and then they fit together!

🥣 We will be selling rice porridge for dinner during both evenings! 🥣

Sounds cool? Sign up for Part 1 here: https://dsekt.se/mediator 🔗

There are no sign-ups for Part 2 (the pub): just show up! 😎

Hi, chapter!

Thank you once again to everyone who attended the lunch lectures we organized to help prepare for the thesis project!

As promised, the slides from the lectures are now available for review here: https://dsekt.se/thesis-slides.

Happy Advent everyone! 🕯️ The baking committee are hoping you all have a really merry time even though we're still awating the snow ❄️

But for those of you who haven't quite gotten into the Christmas spirit yet or those who can't get enough of Christmas, the baking committee invites you to Christmas crafts and Advent baking on December 18!

So welcome to META to bake saffron cats (no real cats will be harmed in the process), build gingerbread houses, cut garlands and have a really cozy time this Christmas. 🎄

Have a nice time and see you on the 18th!

Do you have complaints, opinions, or thoughts on how the Computer Science program can be improved? Swing by the Complaint Lodge on Thursday (Dec. 5th) during lunch (we we're in META) and leave your thoughts in exchange for fika.

Don't ask what KTH can complain about you, ask what you can complain about KTH.

Hello chapter! Are you interested in booking META for some event on a friday or saturday in P3? Then write it in this neat form: https://dsekt.se/boka-meta

Groda invites you to participate in the Nature Conservation Society's campaign: Black Friday - I'm not buying it! which calls for going against consumerism and thinking circularly instead.On Friday lunch, we will therefore hold a free flea market where anyone is free to bring and exchange old stuff that you no longer want. Everything that does not disappear will be donated to second hand.Welcome!

Today the new dbuggen, Vampire-dbuggen, is released at the Prylmångleriet sale. It costs an insignificant amount and can be read an infinite number of times, which means it is effectively free.

The only question that remains is whether YOU dare to read it. Come to META and buy it during lunch!

Look over here!

Friday-clubs are nice. Wednesday pubs are also nice. As DKM are holding a friday-club this week, D-festeriet are taking the opportunity to steal away a wednesday pub where you will be able to sign up for tickets to Skiftes!

We have patches, key chains, stickers and BELTS (in dark mode) We will be on our usual place outside of META during the lunch hour
