When: January 18, 2011 12:30-1:30 pm
Where: The Trail room (just off the SLAIS lounge with all the windows)
What: It’s a meeting. We’ll welcome new/interested folk, talk about Cool Tools Day 3 which is coming up in January (you can sign up on our wiki now if you want), see where we’re at in the t-shirt design contest thing, and more! So much more!

As Jessie said in her email “All are welcome to attend! Techie skills are NOT a requirement, so please don’t feel shy if that’s a concern!” Hope to see you there.

Maybe you hang around at SLAIS and have seen these posters hanging around.

If not, well, here’s the deal: If you can design a sweet T-Shirt on the theme of technology you could win fabulous, nay, stupendous prizes from ASIS&T@UBC. We’re looking for something to put on a shirt and sell as a fundraiser. There are aren’t many restrictions on what it should look like (it doesn’t have to incorporate our name or anything like that) except that it should be a one colour design and have something to do with technology.

The deadline for submitting your design (via email to: asist |DAWT| ubc {AT} gmail [DAWT] com) is Friday January 7, 2011. You have all of December to be creative!

We had a meeting today at SLAIS and we’ll be posting the official minutes at some point, but for now, here’s a quick recap.

Heather and Alex talked about the ASIS&T conference out in Pittsburgh earlier this month. Heather pitched for people to volunteer and otherwise participate in Research Day. We discussed our wildly successful Cool Tools events and when we’ll have the next one to welcome the new cohort showing up in January, as well as the possibility of selling TShirts as a fundraiser, since apparently we’re supposed to be raising funds so we can rent a bus some day. Some awesome road-trippish kind of day. There will be a TShirt design contest coming, with a deadline of January 7, 2011. More information as the posters get made.

There was also an election for the soon to be vacant (once Alex graduates) position of webmaster and Justin Unrau (that’s me) is now it.
