MU ACM will be working in CS summer welcome this June and July to bring in new freshman members for the 2009-2010 school year.  Any current ACM members interested in participating (if you’re in Columbia) are welcome to participate.  Contact Ian Graves for details.

For the new prospective members venturing to this site, new information for you will follow shortly as it becomes available.  We look forward to having you in MU ACM for the next school year!

ACM Welcomes Dr. Mukesh Mohania, part of the ACM Distinguished Speaker Program.

Please join us tomorrow (Tuesday, May 5th) for a pizza lunch followed by a presentation by Dr. Mohania. We will be having lunch in EBW room 222 at 12:00 noon. The presentation will be later that afternoon in Cornell Hall, room 11 (the Business school) beginning at 3:30.

MU_ACM is currently creating a list of active and involved members for inclusion on planning talks.  As we don’t want to be spamming the entire Computer Science listserv, we are compiling a new mailing list for those interested in taking part in ACM’s future here at Mizzou.  If you want to be in on this list, please contact the President, Ian Graves (eye elle gee gee dee dee at mizzou) by email, facebook, in person, by phone (if you know it), or through somebody who knows him.

We are having a new and interested member meet and greet tonight at 6PM in EBW 222.  The meeting will be a forum for interested underclassmen to be introduced to MU_ACM.  In addition, ACM will be discussing leadership opportunities and activity possibilities for the chapter.

Just modified one of the plugins to not be so strange and use long urls.  bit.ly is going to be my savior for this.

Porting the pages to the blog over soon.  Currently the new update appears to work, but it drags a bit.

Scratch that, tinyurl makes the update submission drag into the multiple minutes range.

Hello, this is the first go at a content management and blog system for MU_ACM to possibly replace the existing website with one that is more easily updatable.  Configurations to the main page will come as we try to get this beast under control.  Thanks for putting up with another redesign.

Edit:

I’ve tied in a twitter updater to keep twitter notifications on point with the updates in this blog.  Hopefully it doesn’t complain too much if and when it breaks .
