Computer Club Budget

FY2013 (July 1 2012 - June 30, 2013)

The computer club offers the opportunity to tinker with unique hardware, promote open source development and advocacy, and hack on interesting programming projects, all while offering a variety of useful services to the campus community. Among other services, we run the contributed webserver (supporting CGI scripts and SQL database access), a USENET server, and an open source FTP mirror. We have our own machine room and a well-developed infrastructure for which we are always seeking new ideas for expansion. We hold weekly meetings. See our website for this semester's times.
