Week review

This week we had the Ugly Christmas Sweater Social, where we got a 100 free beers from 't gat. We also had a ton of Santa hats to give out and it was very well attended. I hope everybody had a good time!

On a more serious note, the Cover server went down yesterday. It's back up and running, but if you send any emails using the Cover mailing tool the mails will probably be delayed a couple of days!

TAD-talk: How NLP can help Festimap

Thursday 14th of December, 16:00 till 18:00, Cover room

Festimap is a brand new startup from Groningen founded by two Software Engineering-students from the Hanzehogeschool. They created a webapplication that allows you to find parties, performances and festivals easily. Nearby events can be seen on the map and filters give the possibility to search for specific genres and price ranges.

The subject of this TAD-Talk is how NLP could be used to improve Festimap's application.
