On Wednesday, it's time for the first sauna of the year! 🔥 We start at 6 pm and leave whenever we feel like it. Snacks and light beer will be available, but other than that, it's BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer/Soda).

But now you might be thinking: "but I'm busy on Wednesday," no problem. I haven't experienced a chapter sauna that ended before midnight, so feel free to come after!

Attention, all Chapter members!

META will close the 6th of February between 13:00 and 17:00 to make room for the Chapter fair which is organised by the Election Committee. This doesn't mean that it won't be possible to visit the hall, only that it won't be considered a study environment while it's closed. In other words, it will still be possible to heat food and fullfill errands in the afternoon. All members are highly encouraged to visit the fair as it's both exciting and informative. More information about the event will be posted soon in relevant channels.

Hello hello!

Every Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. The idea is that we do some activity/sport for an hour. Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.

This week (Saturday 3rd) we will play volleyball for 1 hour.

I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

Hope to see you there 🙂

Happy Ovve-Wednesday (tragically not an alliteration in English)! Today's patch sale will be hosted in the hall / mudroom of META. <3

Do you have a boring cup that you would love to decorate? Maybe you think that META's cups are long overdue som colour? Or maybe you just want to paint on som cups? Lucky you! This Tuesday Hangout 30/1 (with QN) Tag Monkeys will pull out any material you may need to paint cups starting at 17.17 in META! You don't need any experience and may just show up at any time! Come and eat our fika, play games and paint cups! (There will still be board games and melty beads) OBS, the cups that are offered by Tag Monkeys are META's, and so you cannot take them home with you so if you want to take something home bring your own cup.

It's time for this year's big volleyball tournament, and this post is actually for the event itself (not the pub). More information and ticket links will be released in this event via blums.dkm.io which, at the time of writing, is not updated yet but will be by Wednesday.

Ticket release is at 8:00 PM on January 31st at the above link. The event will be held at Stockholm Beach Club in Häggvik.

There are 2 different types of entrance tickets, one for the tournament and one for general admission. These are priced around 200-250 SEK. If you want to participate in the tournament, you should buy a tournament ticket (which are limited!). More information will be available on blums.dkm.io and in the event!

Tagg BLUMS!!! Now it's time for the world's best beach volleyball tournament 🏐and for that we need to host an adequate party to celebrate such a ticket release. You are welcome now on Wednesday (31/1) when we open META:s doors for the first time (for DKM) this year for a Wednesday pub!🥳

Next Tuesday (30/Jan) during QN the International Committee will be hosting a special international-themed trivia competition inspired by the classic Swedish TV game show På Spåret! 🚂

There will be free fika 🍪 and pizza for sale 🍕, plus whoever is participating in the competition will get delicious toast 🍞 for free - and the winners will also receive a prize 🏅, of course. Regular QN board games 🎲 will also be taking place simultaneously, so you should come even if you're not sure if you want to participate in the comptition.

See you in META next Tuesday at 17:17!

Dear chapter members, here is a message from the KF-representatives.

KTH has decided to shut down Campus Södertälje and Campus Kista, and to introduce a new program, TINTE.

This means that THS will need to change how programs are mapped to chapters. The consequences for us at the Datasektionen are not yet certain but will likely be decided at the next Student Union Council.

More information regarding concrete proposals can be found here Note that the documents is only available in swedish

The proposals most relevant to us are:

• Proposal 4. Move Cybersecurity from D to IN
• Proposal 6. Reorganize D, Me, and IN into two chapters
• Proposal 7. Welcome IN's original programs into the EECS chapters

If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions; contact us, the KF representatives, at kf@datasektionen.se.

Our current stance is to maintain our current structure as it is.

Hello all dear! We're not arranging a pub this week - but don't fret - it'll be a maxxed out BLUMS-DROP-PARTY-PUB next Wednesday! Ticketes to the event will be released for DKM's yearly event for a maxxed out party at Häggvik's Beach Club!!

Don't miss it! More information about the event will be released this week in a separate post, so no stress!

Hope to see you next week instead!

But do not fear: tomorrow (17/01) at 17:17 we'll have the best anti-ski pub for those of you who are not in Vemdalen. So come along to META for a vibe check - it'll be fun!
