HomePage

Welcome to the Crew, the Volunteer Systems Group at CCIS. We are a group of self-motivated students (not a student group) who investigates new and potentially cool technologies, organizes and performs research & development for the CCIS Systems Group, and strives to improve and produce services that benefit the CCIS community.

Crew headquarters is currently in 314 West Village H. We have a mailing list that is open to all. If you're a creepy stalker, you can pretend that we're your fish tank and look at us via the creepy stalker web cam. Use the Whos Who to identify us. If you feel like chatting, connect to our IRC server from a CCIS machine, or instead physically walk into the pit.

More information for Newbies is available. See also the CrewHandbook.

Meetings

Every Wednesday at 6:30PM we have a meeting in the pit (314 West Village H) and everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you're in the Crew or not, stop by and see what we're all about. Also if you are interested in learning more about us check out our CrewFAQ page. Meeting times and topics listed to the right will be as accurate as possible, but it wouldn't hurt to show up on Wednesday anyways, even if we don't announce a meeting.
