CSG weekly mail 23/2024

Hello, ännä or N-minded! Have you gotten enough of Dipoli parties, the queues, the bar prices and the crowds?

The N-Lakinlaskijaiset will take place on 30 September at 18:00. The evening starts in the Village Living Room with snacks! As midnight approaches, we will go to the TKY graves where we will light a candle and lower our hats.

The event is open to all guild members, both Nth-year-students and N-minded! The participation does not depend on the academic age, but everyone who wants to spend the day in a relaxed atmosphere and in good company is welcome :)

Answer the guild survey and win a 50€ gift card!

The Computer Science Guild (Tietokilta) is surveying guild members and other computer science students' view on activities organized and services provided by the guild. The answers of the survey are used to develop the guild's operations. The survey is anonymous.

After completing the survey, you can participate in a raffle. Ten 50€ gift cards of your choice will be raffled among all participants. Options: Verkkokauppa, S-group or Wolt!

Please answer the survey at latest on Thursday September 26th 2024!

Answer the MFA usability survey 🖥🔒

"It has turned out that the usability of Aalto MFA is not ideal for students. This survey was created by the university to collect concrete use cases of practical situations where MFA for example prevents, distracts or makes slower students' workflows in studies, or it frustrates otherwise.

The results will be summarized, shared with Aalto IT specialists and discussed in the Aalto-level CS-ICT working group between the CS department and Aalto IT. Based on the results, concrete action points will be taken."
