Hull Students: Freeside Needs You

If you are a CS student at Hull you might consider getting involved in Freeside. This is a student run organisation that operates out of our department. Their primary focus is on building systems that can host student services and they have been know to build the odd cluster.

They are also linked to Hull ComSoc and are involved in running game servers used in the department. Jon from FreeSide used some time in my lecture this week to give a short presentation about the group and recruit new members. He made the point that the skills you can get from Freeside will stand you in very good stead for future employment. Apparently big chunks of the server management team at Last.FM are ex Freeside stalwarts.

Thanks Rob, yay Freeside! We also have coffee! You can't build or code without coffee :)

As well as a nice shell and a place to idle, I find Freeside an excellent place to learn and ask questions about some of the areas my own skills are lacking. Over the last few years it has grown and grown in numbers, what services they offer and the handsomeness of the members. Now would be a fantastic time to join!

Freeside sounds ace, I've sent emails to both of the Admins, I'm really interested in getting involved!

Everytime I wander in to freeside, nobodys around...
I feel like using the whiteboard to leave them messages...
perhaps a timetablefo then they plan to be around for a chat would be an idea :)

Perhaps FreeSide could advertise a "coffee morning" for folks interested in getting involved.
