Dr. Carr emailed us to offer us to help with a project.
Opportunity to help High School students to learn about Computer Science.
To do this, they want us to show a demo of the Oculus Rift for 30 minutes at Floyd Hall.
There will be two events, one on March 2nd and April 18th. The times are not yet decided.
In return for helping, Computer Club will be given a pizza party funded by the Computer Science department.

Richard Stallman is coming to Kalamazoo on Monday (1/30).
He will be giving a talk titled “Computing, Freedom, and Privacy”.
The event will be at Kalamazoo College in the Olds-Upton Building, Room 103 from 7 PM to 9 PM.
To learn more about this event, go here: https://www.fsf.org/events/rms-20170130-kalamazoo.

The shipping got delayed again, so we will be hopefully getting it by tomorrow or on Monday.
There were some problems with ordering it directly from Oculus, so we decided to go back to Amazon instead.

Dr. Carr has recently emailed all Computer Science with some opportunities for individuals to take part in some events.
To find more details about this, look in your student email for a message titled: ‘You’re Invited! Google’s February YouTube Live Event Opportunities’.

Computer Science students at Western Michigan University have recently received access to many programs by VMware for free.
There are licenses that can be used for many different VMware programs, including: VMware Workstation 12, VMware Fusion 8, VMware player 7, VMware vCenter Server 6, and many more programs.
These licenses will be active for 12 months and can be renewed in the next year.
