Welcome to the CompSoc website
This site is CompSoc's window to the online world. It includes society news and details or all our upcoming events.
What is the Computing Society?
The Computing Society exists for anyone interested in computers to get together. We meet every Tuesday for a short talk followed by the pub, as well as running other events like LAN parties. We also support computing efforts in the area, especially where open source software is involved. See About Compsoc for more information.
So why come along to CompSoc?
CompSoc is a great way to meet other people interested in computers. Our talks and socials are generally open to anyone, so why not come along and see what you think?
IMAP Petition
CompSoc recently ran a petition to improve the ITS email service for anyone using clients other than Internet Explorer. Click here for more information. ITS now allow any undergraduate to request IMAP, thanks to everyone for their support.
