We will be printing new ACM t-shirts for the 10-11 year. The designs will be the same as last year (Blue ACM logo on breast, quote on back), only with a new quote and year banner under the logo. If you have ideas for a quote (full of wit, preferably), send us an e-mail!

MICS Registration is still not open. We have been having a difficult time even getting a hold of some people. We will be continuing to work with them and inform everyone as soon as their registration page is functional.

MSUM LunaBotics, a new club on campus participating in the National NASA Lunabotics robotics competition spoke at today’s meeting. People interested in such an oppertunity should take a look at the facebook group “MSUM Lunabotics”. More information to come.

The ACM has been talking to classes about who we are and what we do.
Be on the look out for prospective new members. Tell your friends!

The master list for people attending MICS is on the slateboard
in the Linux Lab. If you are wanting to attend, check that
you are on this list. The list IS missing at least one person.
It could be you! Check the list.

People should attend our weekly programming contests! Tell your friends;
spread the word.

The ACM will be printing t-shirts for this school year.
Any ACM member who signs up for a tee shirt before a certian date
will recieve a free ACM tee shirt. After that date, we will do pre-sale
for all who are interested. Family, friends, etc.
We are looking for tech/nerdy quotes for the back them.
Brainstorm and come to the next meeting. There will be an
e-mail when that list comes out.

Interested in an ACM tabletop RPG, perhaps every other week?
System to-be-determined as we feel out the interest.
We will be having a board/tabletop game night/day some time
in the near future. Stay tuned for more info.

ACM Secretary

Welcome to a new semester, ACM members!
We are now meeting on Thursdays @ 4:30 in the Linux Lab.
Our weekly programming contest has started again, with meetings on Wednesdays at 4:30 in the Linux Lab. Don’t forget to consider throwing your loose change into our Pizza fund!
Thanks to Andrew, the MSUM ACM website has been revamped and relaunched. Take a look at acm.mnstate.edu
MICS 2011 is getting nearer. We will be discussing it in further detail at next week’s meeting.
A reminder to everyone attending MICS: You must register for the event.
Again, if you are going to MICS in one form or another, you must register! I believe you can register here, but it seems to be broken at the moment.

Hello, everyone!  Welcome to our new, beautiful, and shiny website!

Right now, it’s going under some heavy construction, so if there’s some information that’s not listed, please don’t hesitate to pester an officer of the MSUM ACM about it.

Currently, you can only create a user if you have a valid MSUM e-mail address.  Just select “Log in” on the right hand side, under the “Meta” column.  From there, use your DragonNet ID (a.k.a. the first part of your e-mail) along with your DragonNet password (a.k.a. your e-mail password) and your user will automatically be created.

If it fails to authenticate, please only attempt to sign in 3 times as it is possible to lock your account for a number of hours if you fail too many times in too short a period.

If you experience any trouble, please contact me at dahlan <at> mnstate <dot> edu.

Thank you and enjoy the new site!
