The SDSU Computer Science Club was recently approved by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) as an ACM Student Chapter. We will be hosting a LAN Party on December 5, 2009 and a programming competition is also in the works.
The LAN Party will be taking place in Lewis and Clark Room A in the Union on December 5, 2009 from 10am to 10pm. A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 free-for-all double-elimination tournament will also be taking place. Click here for more details.
The meeting on November 5 had a great turnout of 21 students. President Scott Kool announced that the SDSU Computer Science Club had been approved by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) as an ACM Student Chapter. The ACM by-laws were reviewed and were adopted with majority vote.
As an ACM Student Chapter, the SDSU CSC Club has the privilege of inviting speakers to their campus through the Distinguished Speakers Program. This will be discussed more during the spring semester.
Plans were discussed for a LAN party on December 5, 2009 from 10am to 10pm in the Union (room TBA). Members, non-members, and guests are all invited to bring their own computer for LAN games.

The CSC Club Spring Industry Trip was also mentioned. If you have any ideas of companies to visit and other places to go for the trip, contact Scott Kool.
The Beowulf cluster project is coming together. Contact David Hubbard if you would like to get involved. David is also looking for software engineers (computer science / software engineer majors) interested in a project he is working on, so let him know if you are interested.
