You can assume that SIGSysadmin meetings will happen *every week* until the end of the semester, unless there has been an announcement of cancellation. For those of you interested in SIGSysAdmin, please subscribe the the SIGSysAdmin Listserv, to get all the announcements in the future. (I will be sending some general announcements via general announce listservs, however I will switch over to SIGSysAdmin specific channels in the near future.) (Instructions are on the SIGSysAdmin page on the ACM website.) This week is also a bit special, since *Linux Newbie Week* is also happening! Everyday this week (*Oct*ober *2 - 6* from *5:30 - 7:00 PM*), there will be a meetup/presentation hosted by the Linux Users Group student organization to give an introductory tour or GNU/Linux, usefui command line utilities, virtual machines, the Linux Kernel and more! The Newbie Week presentations will be presented in either the ACM/LUG office (SELE *2264*) or SELE *2254.* I highly suggest these presentations if you are just beginning out with your GNU/Linux journey. No prior knowledge is necessary, everyone is welcome. If you have any questions about Newbie Week, please direct them to the LUG listserv (lug at uic.edu). If you have questions about SIGSysAdmin, please feel free to bring them to the meeting today, the SIGSysAdmin Listserv, and/or the SIGSysAdmin Slack.

SIG Math Coding continues to meet Thursdays at 2pm in SEO 300. Next week, we will perform data analysis on our in-silico experimental rig from this week. Using NetLogo, we observed a phase transition with hysteresis. Also, we discussed some perceptual topics from computer graphics. Procedural textures of fixed scale RGB to HSV (HSL) Perceptually uniform colormaps Btw, a correction to the emergent structure we saw - the agents were being attracted to the grid of the centers of patches. A structure with more gradient- than lattice-like structure arises from attraction to the world center. Best of luck to everyone this week of midterms, Jasmine -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My name?s Karol Stolarski I?m an ACM member and CS major here at UIC. I?ve gotten approval to start a SIG but I don?t know many people and I?m looking for anyone who would be potentially interested in my idea. My idea is based on block chain technology which is becoming very popular right now. The scope of the potential SIG will not be limited to cryptocurrency. I am looking to get a group together to learn and develop block chain technology with the hope of implementing it into centralized systems at our school. If anyone is interested, please feel free to email me at kstola2 at uic.edu . Thank you for reading and have a wonderful semester!" Meetings are every Tuesday at 11AM. This is subject to change if enough interest is recieved. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
