Nice to know!

TesLAN: The TesLAN is back! This time taking place from January 3rd until January 5th. With last year's numbers going over 200 participants, we're sure to give everything we've got to make this 48h LAN Party even better than last year’s! Both the experienced as well as the more casual gamers are welcome with competitions in games such as: CS:GO, LoL, RL, Heartstone, COD Prophunt, Mario Kart, agar.io, Beerpong, Minecraft, and many more for you to enjoy! For an entry fee of €20,- this includes: breakfast/lunch, a place to sleep, bitterballen, and more than €4000,- worth of prizes! More info here.

Vacancy Universiteitsbibliotheek: The University Library is looking for someone to upgrade the Twitter Archive in the short term for the DNPP department (Documentation Center for Dutch Political Parties). The developer should have knowledge of a MySQL and Laravel framework. The restoration of the Tweets and taking care of the completeness and correctness of the data is the highest priority. An infinite number of characters (no maximum) must be set in the repository. Furthermore, creating a front-end is important. The appearance of it could be derived from the recently revamped website, so that the repository is recognisable as being from DNPP (and the RUG). In addition, visitors should be given the opportunity to search in the tweets of politicians, parties and their subsidiaries by using a search function. If you are interested, please contact: Pieter van Boven (p.van.boven@rug.nl) or Teijo Doornkamp (t.h.doornkamp@rug.nl).

We want you to be in a committee!

Here is a cool thingy for our new members: Ever heard of a committee? A committee is a group of friends that work towards a common goal. You can learn about all sorts of topics such as budgeting, planning, sponsoring, and much more! See the website for a complete overview of committees that are looking for members! If you want to apply for a committee please email intern@svcover.nl. A resume or motivation is optional, so feel free to just tell him you are interested!

ParenTee

The ParenTee is the committee responsible for showing the studies and university to students' parents. They do this by organising a parents day where you can invite your parents to take a tour. If you want to show your parents or your peers parents around, sign up for this committee.
