All systems should be operational again.

If you happen to run into one that is not, please contact IOR via email (ior@d.kth.se) or through Slack (ior.slack.com).

IOR is investigating a disruption in our integration with KTH:s login service on several of our webapps.

The affected systems redirect to a KTH error page upon attempted login. We have a fairly good idea what the underlying cause is, and are working on a fix.

Some reoccuring projects within the chapther has now been opened, meaning that some additional elections has been opened for the project leaders for the following projects:

• METAspexet
• dÅre
• Studs
• Vårbalen
• dJulkalendern

Hi everyone!

My name is Grace and I'm Project Leader for Project Pride.

Project Pride is the Computer Science chapters presence at the Pride festival, where we arrange a truck for the parade, DJ, beverages, and more! It's a far out party where we from the chapter can celebrate Pride and have a really good time together. 🎉😍

In order for us to do put together the most maxed out event possible we need a group of excited computer science students that wants to join the project group.

Areas of responsibility can include getting props for the truck, contact outside parties (DJ, other chapters, etc), and more! 🤯🤩

If this is something that sounds interesting to you you can apply to the project group by filling this out: https://forms.gle/zYVxjhfXYd8ro86h8

This is going to be so much fun so APPLY! ❤️

The election to the THS union council has opened! This means that you can now run for a member and deputy for the Computer Science chapter. Last year, CS had 3 member positions and 3 deputy positions, we will probably get around the same amount of seats in KF this year.

As a KF member, you represent the chapter at these KF meetings. As a deputy, you attend KF meetings if any regular member can not participate then.

The union council is in summary like the a Chapter metting but at THS level. The union council is THS highest decision-making body, and therefore decides on matters concerning both THS and the chapter's operations. The positions of members and deputies are therefore important positions of responsibility to fill, we want to be able to have a voice in decisions that may affect us as a chapter.

You can apply by going to ths.kth.se and then clicking on "my page". There is a box there called "candidacy". Alternatively, you can click here.

The application deadline is on April 25:th at 23:59. Go on and apply!

The study board has a meeting tonight at 6pm for the one who's interested in joining! Zoomlink: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/64151811040

Get an insight into life after graduation – learn from alumni through our mentor program

The aim of the mentor program is to give you as a student inspiration for your future career. Your mentor will be a former student, i.e. an alumnus/alumna of KTH, with experiences and personal knowledge of how life after graduation can be. He/she may have a different educational background. Mentoring is about asking questions, listening, reflecting and discovering new perspectives. As a mentee in the program, you are expected to meet up with your mentor four times, of which two meetings are together with the other participants. The mentors and mentees will plan the other two meetings on their own. Please contact alumni@kth.se should you have any questions.

Hi all Chapter Members!

Due to the new Pandemic law and restrictions, the following decisions have been made by KTH and THS.

• New opening hours for META is between 8-22.
• New maximum capacity for META is 26 persons.
• The furniture arrangement will be adapted to this as soon as possible, please do not rearrange.
• The premise is open for study purposes only, not for Chapter activities.

There is also some updated information regarding Nymble and THS from THS President Charley:

Events:

• We will continue having no events in Nymble or Osqvik.
• The previous rule about administrators for crucial democratic meetings being allowed to book rooms in Nymble is no longer in effect.

Public areas in Nymble:

• Nymble, the Bookstore and the Restaurant will still be open, but with new updated safety information posted around the building and even stricter restrictions in the number of seats and tables in their respective areas.
• Only 4 people per table is allowed, and we ask that people do not move any furniture. If you happen to be in Nymble we ask that we all help out to remind people of these restrictions when necessary. For example, if you see a table with too many people, ask them to move apart.
• KårX will continue to be physically open only Monday-Wednesday, but will still be reachable by phone: 08-790 98 51 and by mail: karx@ths.kth.se during their regular office hours.
• THS Café is closed and the Restaurant will instead be open 9-15 for the foreseeable future. Lunch will still be served as usual in the restaurant, with some extension of its supply in order to offer what THS Café usually does.
• We will regularly evaluate the situation and the above is subject to change.

What do we know right now about KTH?

• KTH library will open again on January 25th.
• Study places are kept open as usual.

Take care of yourself and those around you <3
