Hey chapter! The election documents for Budget-SM (including a return of "VBO speaks/Editorial") are now published. Make sure to read them!

Since one of the candidates, a member of the election committee, the head of the election committee, or one of the auditors requested it, the election documents are confidential. This means you will need to log in to your Datasektionen account, or physically attend the SM (Chapter Meeting), to get access to the election documents.

You can find the election documents at https://dsekt.se/valhandlingar

Hello all (alleged) computer science students!

The board has heard some rumors regarding the fact that the membership registry at THS is having some trouble with assigning students their correct chapters. This is a PSA to let you know that you should double check this.

You can do this by:

1. Opening the Mecenat app on your phone
2. Click the field "Kort" in the bar at the bottom of the page
3. Once you see your digital student card, click the Mecenat symbol at the bottom left corner
4. Now you see another page with more information regarding your student card. At the bottom there should be a table with a cell called "Sektion" [translation: chapter]. To the right of that cell, there should be another cell filled with "Datasektionen D" [translation: Computer Science].

If you do not see this information, you need to double check your membership by going to the THS front desk in Nymble. This also applies if you see a different chapter than "Datasektionen D" iny our card.

We recommend doing this before the chapter meeting on thursday!

Hugs and kisses, The Board

Did I hear that the first years have finally gotten their ovves? First years have a big pile of patches, but you don't know how to sew! 😨 (allegedly) Luckily, this has a simple solution: first years coming to the Prylmångleriet sewing circle tomorrow Tuesday (22/9). 🎉 We kick off from 17:00 in META (simultaneously with QN) and sew to our hearts' content. We will offer sewing supplies and assistance so you can learn to sew. All you need to bring is your ovve and >= 1 patch.

⚠️ You do NOT need to know how to sew!! ⚠️

Older CS students are of course also welcome!

Do you like sports and want to show that CS students actually do sports too? 💻 Do you have a sport you can't get enough of and would love to share with the chapter? Help organize events! 🏐🏸

The Sports Committee is an open committee, which means there are no specific requirements on how much you need to do. You simply do as much as you want. This could mean helping out with our weekly Sunday sports or planning other larger events like climbing or curling 🥌. Or possibly something completely different that you think would be fun.

On Wednesday, September 23, from 12:00 to 13:00, we will hold an introductory meeting for the Sports Committee in META’s meeting room to go over the upcoming semester. We will review the events to be organized and assign responsibilities to those who want to help out!

Are you more pumped to just show up and play sports? Awesome! That is just as important, and I really hope we see each other to share the joy of sports! 🏀 🥏
