Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Oxford Computer Society (CompSoc). We're here to promote the use of computers throughout the university, to organise meetings and talks on computing-related subjects, and to generally do things of a computer-related nature.
Here you can find information about upcoming events, about the society itself, and how you can get involved.
Upcoming events
Games Night 2
Wednesday 23rd May, 19:00
St Catz PDR
Come play some video games at St Catz PDR - TF2, Super Monday Night Combat, DotA, Starcraft or any other games you care to suggest.
Pizza and Drinks will be there.
If you plan on attending you will need to bring a laptop with any games you want to play installed and updated - Catz internet will be too slow to download stuff.
You will also need a LAN cable and probably a power supply for your laptop.
Team Fortess 2 and Super Monday Night Combat are both free to install and play from http://store.steampowered.com/ (you have to install Steam first, though). It is also possible to install TF2 from another computer with it already installed on, we will probably be able to facilitate this but should stress that it is a much better idea to make sure it is installed and up to date beforehand. If there are any other games you'd like to play (and think others will have) bring them along and we might play them too!
