On February 20th there will be an ACM meeting at the offices of kCura in downtown Chicago. The exact agenda for the meeting is still being worked out but it will go roughly as follows:

• the buses leave UIC around 5:15 pm
• arrive at kCura and they'll show us around their offices
• around 6:00 there will be some form of presentation by some combination of the CEO, a department head, and software developers on staff (this will likely be in the form of a panel disscussion) depending on who is available
• and finally there will be free pizza and chances to talk one on one with members of their staff after the presentations. Bringing a resume is probably a good idea.

Because kCura is providing us with transport we need to give them a head count of who is coming so they can sort out the buses. Therefore I need anyone who wants to come to fill out this form by 12:00pm Friday January 31. If you are not signed up you are likely not going to be able to come.

There will be emails later about some more specifics like where to meet for the buses, and a better idea of the agenda for the evening but that is all for now. If you have any other questions feel free to ask you can email me at aphelp6@uic.edu

It's SUPER cold outside, but don't let that get you down--It's the week three! Here are the events scheduled for the week:

1. SIG Fun - Movie Night [January 27, 2014 @ 5:30PM in SELE 2268B(CS Tunnel)]
2. SIG Code [January 28, 2014 @ 4PM in SELE 2268B(CS Tunnel)]
3. SIG SysAdmin - First Meeting of Semester Two [January 28, 2014 @ 5:15PM in SELE 2264(IT Lab)]
4. Flourish! 2014 Planning Meeting [January 29, 2014 @ 5:30PM in the ACM/LUG Office Area(SELE 2262?)]
5. Soldering Workshop / LUG Meeting [January 30, 2014 @ 5:30PM in the SELE 2260(CS Lounge)]
6. SIG Web - Second Meeting [January 31, 2014 @ 3PM in SELE 2260(CS Lounge)]
7. SIG Build - First Meeting [January 31, 2014 @ 6PM in SELE 2264(IT Lab)]

This is also a reminder that the kCura Meeting Sign-Up deadline is on January 31, 2014. Please sign up via the form to let us know you will be coming with us.

The ACM email service has been restored and mailing lists are currently working. The network changes should now be over, please report and found outages to sigsysadmin AT acm.cs.uic.edu

Walter Dworak

ACM SysAdmin

Most serices appear to have been restored since the network changes. The current main exception is that the ACM hosted mailing lists, acm-announce etc, are currently not working and user will be unable to send email using their account. The problem should be fixed soon and there will be another update when the mailing lists and email is fixed.

Changes that are currently being made to the University end of our network. Until the needed changes on both ends are made there will be some service disruption. There will be a follow up port when things are supposed to all be done, so any issue reporting should be held off until then.
