GM #1 Recap

If you missed last Monday's general meeting (6 pm, 10/12/09, BH 4760), you can access the powerpoint here: http://www.box.net/shared/pzk15o0tqq

All 18 boxes of pizza were completely wiped out, and we had around 100 students in a 60 people capacity room! Thank you to everyone who came out!

Please note that our next meeting is next Thursday, Oct. 29, @ 7-9 pm: Halloween Party! We want to encourage costumes, so costumed entry is free, IEEE shirt entry is $2, and otherwise is $5. Feel free to bring your friends :)

There will be ice cream sundaes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin carving contests, and LED circuits!

IEEE General Boards

Hey everybody,

We have our new general boards for the quarter!

At the end of Fall and Winter Quarter, we offer a rotation program where board members can choose either to stay with the board they are in, or rotate to something new. Thus, please do not be disappointed if you did not get into your 1st choice board!

In general, decisions were made based on the essay question. However, Mini-Projects was above & beyond the most popular choice. Because project members should be able to understand and explain the concepts behind the circuits to the general public, preference was given to seniors.

If you were on a board last year, you must still reapply. Applications are accepted year-round, space is limited.

*Board members will be contacted by their managers for further instructions*

A Message from Diana Long, Microsoft!

Hi, My name is Diana Long and I am the Microsoft Student Representative for UCLA.

Imagine Cup is a Microsoft-run programming contest that allows students and amateurs to compete in several different competitions. Imagine Cup not only finds the best and brightest, but also promotes creativity in the computing field. This year’s theme is "Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems." An example of last year’s winner in game design is counter strike: HIV killer.

If you would like to register with me there will be a meeting that will help you register and help you with your proposals. The meeting will be held October 14, 2009 in Covel Commons Computer lab from 7:00pm-9:00pm. There will be some free giveaways including some swag and software. This meeting is people who are serious about registering and have an idea of what they might want to submit.

There are several perk to entering in the Imagine Cup. The best reason to enter the Imagine Cup is a ticket (for everyone who commits to the Imagine Cup) to The PDC (The Professional Developers Conference).

PDC is a great way of getting hands-on access to the latest developer technologies and over 1,000 Microsoft product and technology experts available to answer your questions. You also get unique networking opportunities with technology leaders.

On top of getting a ticket to PDC (valued at $600), entrants who enter the Imagine Cup have also been considered for career opportunities with Microsoft. In addition, registering alone enters you into a $10,000 giveaway. Also, every week 100 entrants will win a copy of HALO ODST.

If you are interested in attending the meeting drop by or e-mail me at diana.long@student-partners.com. For more information you can visit the website http://imaginecup.com/

Thank You,

Diana Long
