[UWAB] Meeting Minutes AND Swiki Page!
by Sweta Vajjhala 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi All, I have attached the meeting minutes to this email: sorry they are a bit late. Also, I have created a page on the Swiki, because I feel that this will be the easiest way to figure out which professors are going. If you cannot get into the swiki, the username/password are the usual: attach/carmen. I will work some more on the swiki (as far as getting information up) in the near future. UWAB 2007-2008 <http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/88> CoCaesar's Palace 2008 <http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/89> If anybody has any questions, please feel free to email me over the break. Have a wonderful Spring break! :) ~Sweta P.S. Candis-- Could you please put up the logos and stuff on the swiki? Or email them to me, and I will put them up? Thanks so much! :) -- Sweta Vajjhala CS 2110 TA Georgia Institute Of Technology Cell: (603)-738-7711

[UWAB] Fwd: Thanks!

Hello girls! Thanks again to everyone who helped out with Mafia night!! Forwarded with this email is a message from Uzo, the president of SAB. You guys are * incredibly* awesome!! ^_^ Thanks, Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Uzo Okafor <echo(a)gatech.edu> Date: Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 12:33 PM Subject: Thanks! To: Candis Pham <touching.the.sky(a)gmail.com>, Michael Slaughter < mslaughter3(a)mail.gatech.edu> Hey, Just wanted to send a quick thank you over your way for helping us throw a successful Mafia Night last week. There were, if I remember right, 58 people who signed in, which far exceeded my expectations. We even went right on through our midnight closing time with a couple of games going on. While everything about the setup wasn't *perfect*, the night in general seemed fun for the people who got involved. Hopefully we're all in agreement on that. Anyway, it was a pretty good team effort. Without you - both individually and your organizations - I don't think Mafia would have been half as successful as it was. Thanks again, Uzo
