22 Nov '10

Hello girls! Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting last Thursday. I hope that everyone was able to take something useful from our trip to Aflac's information session. This email is remiss in giving you minutes because there were no minutes taken last week during the presentations and information session. However, this email will be a reminder that there will be no meeting this Thursday as it is Thanksgiving and we do not have school. I hope everyone enjoys the time with their families if they are able to return home this break. For everyone else, enjoy four days of no class! Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope to see you all on the December 2nd meeting. Sincerely, Linda

GTRI to Host Random Hacks of Kindness [Description: http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/files/media/rhok_1-relatedinfo.jpg] >From Dec. 4 to Dec. 5, the GTRI Conference Center will be one of 13 global locations for the third Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK), a global community-of-innovation competition.

Englehardt Director of Communications Georgia Tech Research Institute Phone: 404-407-7280 Cell: 678-557-2533 Fax: 404-407-9280 Contact online<http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/contact-us> John Toon Manager Georgia Tech Research News & Publications Phone: 404-894-6986 Fax: 404-894-1826 Contact online<http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/contact-us> >From Dec. 4 to Dec. 5, the GTRI Conference Center<http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/conference-center> will be one of 13 global locations for the third Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK), a global community-of-innovation competition. During the two-day marathon hacking session, the best and brightest hackers form a volunteer global network create software solutions to critical challenges relating to natural disaster risk and response. The event is free and open to the public. Developers, software engineers and creative experts, as well as technical and nonprofit leaders, are invited to participate. Registration is available on the RHoK website<http://www.rhok.org/events/rhok-2/atlanta-georgia-u-s-a/>. From 9 a.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday, participants will work their techno-magic at GTRI in concert with others around the world. RHoK sessions work with collaborators at Crisis Commons to identify immediate problems, which are then refined further through various small groups. These groups work simultaneously across the globe in a "codejam"-a fast-paced competition where each group has a set amount of time to solve the challenges they are given. At the end of the two-day event, a panel reviews each hack, with winners walking away with prizes. Some hacks created during previous RHoK marathons include "AlertMe," an app that allows emergency messages related to disasters to appear on mobile phones or browsers similar to the Emergency Broadcast System graphics for U.S. television; "Chasm," an application that allows engineers in the field to enter data into a landslide risk algorithm, and "CrysisWiki," an editable directory of resources that provides updated information on disasters and crises around the world. RHoK #2 has five main stages and eight satellite locations, from Brazil and Toronto to Kenya and Indonesia. GTRI in Atlanta will join Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Seattle as the only sites in the United States. "This is a unique opportunity to connect the critical needs of nonprofits who help in times of great need with application developers, systems engineers and other technical and creative experts who wouldn't typically work on these problems," said Betsy Plattenburg, GTRI's Director of Corporate Relations. Local partners include the Southeastern Software Association, Hub Atlanta and TechBridge, among others. Representatives from Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! and The World Bank started RHoK in November 2009 at RHoK #0 in Mountain View, Calif. In June 2010, RHoK #1 took place on the "main stage" in Washington, D.C., with six other satellite sites around the world. Vivian T.

by Candis Pham 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

For all of you looking for an easy guaranteed A ^_^ ~Candis ================================================ Hey there, I'm Clarissa Priore, and I'm VP External for a group on campus you may not have heard much about- GT Chorale. If you're looking for an **EASY A** 1 hour filler for your schedule, please give joining GT Chorale some thought. The Chorale is a mixed ensemble that meets twice weekly. Experience ranges from no musical background whatsoever to All State level, and requires no audition. So if you enjoy singing in the shower, or singing with the Atlanta Metropolitan Opera, then we have a place for you. It's a great way to get some relief from the typical GT course load, and learning how to read music is a bonus. If you have some time in your schedule, give GT Chorale (or for ladies only, Women's Chorus!) a try. CRN's for the course: 21198- Chorale (MUSI 1202)-- 4.30-6.00 M/W 29297- Women's Chorus (MUSI 3801) -- 6.00-8.00 T/TH 27969- Glee Club (MUSI 1222) -- 6:00-8:00 M If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at cpriore3(a)gatech.edu. We look forward to having you join us! -- Clarissa Priore Biology Undergraduate Phi Mu Fraternity Georgia Institute of Technology ======================================================== -- Candis Pham B.S.
