Hi chapter!

Earlier this spring, the Climate Chapter Meeting took place, where we voted through a new climate policy. It came into effect on June 1, so here is a reminder of what it means ahead of the start of the semester.

Single-use items: We now have reusable tableware in META, which must be used at all events with up to 30 participants.

Stricter food rules: Vegetarian food is the chapter’s priority. However, white meat may be offered as an active choice when registering for an event. Red meat will not be reimbursed at all, with the exception of certain events, such as some involving traditional Swedish food. More information about the food rules, as well as a list of events that are exempt, can be found under §5.1 of the policy. Expenses that violate these rules, such as purchases of red meat, will not be reimbursed through Cashflow!

Fossil-free transport: The section will no longer cover the cost of fossil fuels. Diesel vehicles must be refueled with fossil-free fuel (e.g. HVO100), and for petrol vehicles, the fuel mixture may contain a maximum of 25% fossil fuel.

This is only a summary of the full policy, which can be found here: https://styrdokument.datasektionen.se/policies/klimatpolicy.

Note, the policy is not available in English. If you need translation services provided then I, Carl Blomqvist, will happily provide them. Cheers!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the board!

August 1st is coming up fast — and what happens then? The Stockholm Pride Parade!
Of course, Media and Data will be participating together, which means we want YOU to join us! We’ll gather at Norr Mälarstrand at 12:45. The parade starts at 13:00, and we’ll walk next to the section truck Cerise until we reach the finish at Slussen. The parade will be 4.5 kilometers long and takes about two hours from start to finish. It’s totally fine to join or leave our group at any point during the parade! Drinks and snacks will be provided for free so you have the energy to walk the whole way.

If you come to the parade, you’ll also get an exclusive patch. If you’re lucky, you might also get last year’s Project Pride patch. 👀

Want to join? Then we’d appreciate it if you could sign up via the form below. The sign-up is non-binding, it’s just so we can estimate how many people are planning to come.

Sign-up form

Where? Pride Parade, from Norr Mälarstrand to Slussen
When? August 1st, 12:45 (make sure to show up a little early!)
Overalls or b-frack? Preferably!

See you in the parade!

We are looking for wheel marshals!

Does this sound fun, but you feel like you need to collect some queer points? 📈 Then we could use your help as a wheel marshal! This means walking alongside the truck and making sure no one gets hurt and that nothing goes wrong. As a thank-you, you’ll get your own stash of drinks and snacks. 😋

Sign up as a wheel marshal using the form below.
Wheel marshal form

The day before the pride parade (July 31st), we’ll be decorating Cerise, so that it looks nice when we walk along it during the parade! No sign-up is needed — just show up!

Where? Outside META
When? July 31st, 12:00–13:00

🎉🏸 SUNDAY SPORTS! 🏸🎉

Hey everyone!

Last chance to sweat, laugh, and have fun together! 😄

This Sunday (June 21st) it’s time to lace up your shoes and get ready for a BADMINTON SUNDAY at KTH-Hallen!

We’ll be playing matches and free play for a full 🔥** 2 HOURS** 🔥 — from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, so there’s plenty of time to play, switch opponents, and really get into the game! 💥

Don’t have a racket? No worries! I’ll bring 10 rackets you can borrow and we’ve booked 2 courts. Everyone is welcome — no matter your skill level! 🙌

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

I’m planning to mix up the sports in the coming weeks, so if you have ideas or requests — send them my way! 💡⚽🏐

Come for the games — stay for the vibes. Really looking forward to an awesome Sunday together. Hope to see you there! 😄

This activity is carried out with support from the Foundation for Sports and Wellness at KTH (Stiftelsen Idrotten–Friskvården vid KTH).

YOU! 🫵 Do you like Minecraft Minigames? Spleef? TNT Tag? Did you imagine Hexathlon 5 during NymbLAN being the most hype event of the weekend and was gravely disappointed? 😭 Of course you did!

Then you'll be delighted to hear about the rematch happening at this week's META LAN, proudly presented together with our friends at ITK — and EVERYONE is welcome to compete!

What is Hexathlon?

Picture this: you wake up in a strange, pixelated and blocky campus, in a crowd full of Minecraft pros, ready to blow you up, make you fall to your death or rip you to shreds with swords and arrows . You're the CLEAR underdog in this scenario, and if you want to come out on top, you must survive six challenging minigames, familiar and unfamiliar, that will put ALL of your Minecraft skills to the test.

Okay, now imagine that, but with like, people from 6 campuses all around the country. How will you fare against all the other Campuses? How will your story unfold? There's only one way to find out! So get your game face on because it's time to determine which campus (and individual) is the true Minecraft nerd! 🔥

FAQ

• 💻 How? You need a computer with an internet connection, and a valid Minecraft account.
• ✋ Registration? No! Drop-in: show up and have fun!
• ⏰ When? Friday, 12 June 2026 at 18:00!!!
• 📍 Var? Connect to the server event.metacraft.nu with game version Java 26.1.2_ (latest stable)
• ❓ Why? Because it is fun to beat your friends (ingame).

Enough talk — we'll see you on campus! May the best chapter win! <:diamondsword:1185278705824710806> https://discord.gg/J7Shypq5?event=1514299165579022486

Betwen 15th of June to the 2nd of August META will be closed. This means that the chapter hall will be inaccessible for general chapter members.

Contact sommaraccess@datasektionen.se if you need to access META during the summer.

Hi, Chapter!

The semester is coming to an end, and summer break will start soon (or maybe it’s already started for those of you who aren’t presenting during lab week :P).

Please upload all your receipts from the semester by June 12!

This is not a hard deadline, expenses can be submitted after that, but the Treasurer & Vice Treasurer won’t be checking Cashflow as often over the summer, so they’ll be processed more slowly. If you need cash quickly, you can of course ask us for an express “delivery” :D

If you have an invoice that needs to be paid within less than 30 days, please contact the Treasurer or Vice Treasurer to make sure we get it on time.
