| - | ====== New SIGs ====== | ||
| - | ===== Expectations ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | When starting a SIG, we expect: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - You should have concrete goals for your SIG, and a timeframe for hitting them | ||
| - | - Even if that goal is just "learn X" or "talk about Y", try to find a target of some kind | ||
| - | - Your SIG should meet at least once every two weeks | ||
| - | - You should be prepared to run your SIG for at least a full academic year | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== How to create a new SIG ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Get a bunch of people together to show that people are interested in your proposed SIG. | ||
| - | - At least 4, but the more the better | ||
| - | - Talk to an ACM officer about starting the SIG | ||
| - | - Write a proposal document and email it to the officers' mailing list. Include the following information: | ||
| - | - Goals and milestones for the next year | ||
| - | - A plan for your first few meetings | ||
| - | - What resources you want to request from the ACM | ||
| - | - Bring the topic of starting a new SIG up at the next ACM meeting, **after** steps 1&2 | ||
| - | - Once you get your SIG approved, get SIG leader level access to ACM systems and services | ||
| - | - Have the webmaster add your SIG's page on the website to the official active SIGs list, and have a Slack admin create a channel for your SIG | ||
| - | - Put together a presentation of no more than 2 PowerPoint slides, and present them at the next GBM | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== National SIGs ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Currently, none of our SIGs are formal chapters of the national ACM-SIGs. The full list of ACM-SIGs can be found [[https://www.acm.org/special-interest-groups/sigs-by-knowledge-area|here]]. The [[https://www.acm.org/chapters/students/how-to-start-a-sig-student-chapter|process of becoming an ACM-SIG chapter]] is significantly more involved, and involves registering as a separate financial entity. It's probably more trouble than it's worth. Still, let an officer know if you're interested. | ||
