The conference is modeled after TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), an annual conference uniting the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, and like TED, each speaker is given 18 minutes to give the talk of their lives.
Specifically for students in CS/Math, 50 tickets have been reserved (non-students: $500). For those who would like to attend, please pick up your ticket in the Computer Science Club office. The tickets are limited and they are first come first serve.
This talk will survey concepts, techniques, and languages for functional programming from both historical and contemporary perspectives, with reference to Lisp, Scheme, ML, Haskell, and Erlang. No prior background is assumed.

This is an event to celebrate the releases of new versions of Ubuntu Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. CDs will be available and everyone is invited to bring their PC or laptop to get help installing any of these Free operating systems. Knowledgeable CSC members will be available to help with any installation troubles, or to troubleshooting any existing problems that users may have.
This event will also promote gaming on Linux, as well as FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) in general. We may also have a special guest (Ian Darwin, of OpenBSD and OpenMoko fame).
A fevered night of code, friends, fun, free energy drinks, and the CSC.
Come join us for a night of coding. Get in touch with more experianced coders, advertize for/bug squash on your favourite open source project, write that personal project you were planning to do for a while but haven't found the time. Don't have any ideas but want to sit and hack? We can find something for you to do.
Come out and watch the SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Graphics) conference video review. A video of insane, amazing, and mind blowing computer graphics.
The ACM SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Graphics) hosts a conference yearly in which the latest and greatest in computer graphics premier. They record video and as a result produce a very nice Video Review of the conference. Come join us watching these videos, as well as a few professors from the UW Computer Graphics Lab. There will be some kind of food and drink, and its guranteed to be dazzling.
Want more from Unix? No problem, we'll teach you to create and quickly edit high quality documents.
This is a follow up to Unix 101, requiring basic knowledge of the shell. If you missed Unix101 but still know your way around you should be fine. Topics covered include: "real" editors, document typesetting with LaTeX (great for assignments!), bulk editing, spellchecking, and printing in the student environment and elsewhere. If you aren't interested or feel comfortable with these taskes, watch out for Unix 103 and 104 to get more depth in power programming tools on Unix. If you don't think you're ready go to Unix 101 on Tuesday to get familiarized with the shell environment.
New to Unix? No problem, we'll teach you to power use circles around your friends!
This first tutorial is an introduction to the Unix shell environment, both on the student servers and on other Unix environments. Topics covered include: using the shell, both basic interaction and advanced topics like scripting and job control, the filesystem and manipulating it, and ssh. If you feel you're already familiar with these topics don't hesitate to come to Unix 102 to learn about documents, editing, and other related tasks, or watch out for Unix 103 and 104 that get much more in depth into power programming tools on Unix.
In this talk I will give an overview of the history of Relic and our development philosophy. The Talk will then proceed to talk about work that is being pursued in the area of early game prototyping with the introduction of game sketching methodology.
