Dear GEWISsers!

As everyone probably already has heard, the intro will be very different next year. Sadly, also the FLUP cannot be organised as it was previous years. As the intro committee, we still want to organise some other activity that will fulfil the goals of the FLUP, but also conforms to the corona regulations. We already have some plans of our own, but together we know much more, so we need YOU (insert uncle Sam meme) to help us come up with the best ideas. For this purpose, we are organizing a brainstorm session on 23rd of June from 12:35 until 13:25, the first Tuesday of the exam period. The session will probably be held on the GEWIScord server in one of the meeting spaces voice channels. If too many people will join the brainstorm, the location might switch to Teams. This will be communicated at least before Monday the 22nd 23:59.Hope to see you there,Intro20

Banners, you love them, we love them, they love them and ESPECIALLY the board loves them! That is why the board asked every committee to design a banner and send it in to the board. Of course, we have received a lot of beautiful creations and winner needs to be picked. This competition will take place this Friday at 6 p.m. At first the board will present all banners. After this the board will have a small discussion amongst themselves to determine the winner of the amazing prize! This absolutely fabulous price will of course be a BANNER! So make sure you do not miss this occasion and join the twitch.tv/svgewis Friday at 6 o'clock!

We are back! This Thursday the first drink in the corona time will take place. This is a pilotdrink to see if activities are going well with the 1.5 meter rules. But that does not stop us, we will all enjoy it. During this drink you will sit on a yellow picnic bench with the 4 of you and you will not go away from this, unless you have to pee. The BAC will bring you your delicious beers. More explanation about the protocols will follow.

You can register per person or with a group of maximum 4. If there are more than 24 people on the registration list before the deadline, there will be a draw. A group then has as much chance of being drawn as a single participant. But then you can see your friends who you have only seen via webcam for the last three months. Note: Your group only counts once in the draw, you can only participate in one group or registration.

Hi all,

We hope you are doing well in these strange times. Luckily, we from GEPWNAGE are well-equipped to lock ourselves in and amuse ourselves with all the luxuries the world wide web has to offer. We are proud to see that all other fraternities have paid attention to our lessons in how to set up a nerdy activity. The digital activities all the parties from GEWIS have organized have helped everybody escape the social confinement brought on to us by the virus. We have enjoyed watching keuken met I.V.V on Twitch, joining the quiz from GELIMBO, drinking the cocktails from B.O.O.M, the escape room from ATHENA, and the Daily Defi Dare from Défi.

While these activities made the quarantine exciting and fun, it is time to set the first 1.5 meter steps to the outside world. Sitting inside is the last thing we want for the rest of this year. It just so happens to be that the board agrees, and we are proud to announce that we have permission to organize the first offline activity (sort of) in a long time. It is time to dance of joy and show your best moves on some funky beats and join us at the JUST DANCE COMPO 2020! Show us that your moves are the best moves and beat your dancing rivals to take home the most AWESOME price there is: the honor of saying you beat 29 other GEWIS'ers this year in the most regulated tournament of GEWIS ever.

There are only 24 spots available. The subscription list will open Monday at 13:00. If there are more than 24 participants subscribed by Monday at 14:00, we will select 24 participants with the help of random.org.

TL:DR; UNLEASH YOUR INNER DANCER Tuesday June 16th at 12:00KTHNXBYE,GEPWNAGE

P.S: during the activity, you will have to keep 1.5 meter distance from others at all times and you will be required to regularly disinfect your hands. The activity is laid out such that keeping 1.5 meter distance should not be an issue.

Are you are an adventurous student who likes the spirit of nature and is not afraid to be active for some part of the weekend, or a student who loves to drink beer while sitting at a campfire all night? If you can answer this question with "yes", don't hesitate and join us next year!

Each year we spend this weekend on a campsite. We organise some great activities for you, we make sure there is a river to "stream" in (ask B.O.O.M. members for details) and a campfire to sit at when it's dark and cold. Examples of activities of previous years are mountain biking, spelunking and canoeing. Since we are on a campsite, we will sleep in cozy tents.

This year, we will visit the Eifel in Germany. The weekend will take place from 5th till 7th of June 2020. If you want to join please subscribe below. If you have a car that can take people to Germany please let us know in the form as well. We would also like to know if you have a tent and how many people could fit in it. We will not make tent groups but this might give other people some help in asking around to find a place to sleep :)

We are planning on taking 50 persons to our awesome weekend, so subscribe as soon as possible!

Met takken!

Hey everyone!

On the 3rd of June the online committee market will be held during the lunchbreak. The committees of GEWIS will be present in the GEWIS discord to inform you about their committee, the way they work, their goals etc. Every committee will have their own voice and text channel where you can ask them questions or maybe get to know some members in a more informal way.

So from 12:30 until 13:30 you can drop by in the GEWIScord to ask any questions you might have to the committees you are interested in. If you do not know what committees there are or if you do not know if you are interested in joining one, you can also just drop by to observe, there are no strings attached!

We hope to see you all there!

Kind regards,The 38th board

Dear GEWIS member,

Due to the Corona crisis, the yearly ATHENA/B.O.O.M./BAC cocktail buitenborrel with burgers can not take place this year, which is of course very sad. Therefore, B.O.O.M. and ATHENA have been thinking about some alternatives for you (and for ourselves of course). We came up with the amazing idea to cook burgers and make cocktails at home, and we call it ‘Burgers bakken en cocktails hakken!’. Thursday the 28th of May, the one and only Tom ‘Cocktail Guy’ Slenders will teach you how to make three different cocktails. You can follow the livestream at twitch.tv/cocktailslive, which starts at 19.30h. During this livestream there will be some breaks, during which you can drink your cocktail on the GEWIS discord. We made you a shopping list, which you can find here: ShoppingList.pdf. In this list you can also find the tools you’ll need for making the cocktails, and some ideas for substitutes if you don’t have these tools at home.

There is more! From this moment onward, you can join the B.O.O.M. Burger Battle. Make a small video, a photo collage, or whatever you like, of yourself creating the most delicious burger. Send in your result by emailing to burgerbattle@mettakken.nl, before Thursday the 28th (Wednesday night at the latest). The most delicious, most beautiful, most creative or must funny result might even win a small price! Don't know how to start? Watch this video for some burger-inspiration: Burger Battle Inspiration.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Hugs, kisses and mettakken,ATHENA and B.O.O.M.

TLDR; Talk/interview from Sioux about developing Artificial Intelligence, hosted on Microsoft Teams. However, what would a Sioux lecture be without pizza? Therefore, everyone who visits the lecture receives a Domino's discount code and a few lucky winners will also receive a Domino's voucher, so you can get a delicious pizza yourself.

Running MathWare at scale, an architects perspectiveApplications often combine state-of-the-art algorithms with large amounts of data. The knowledge required to create complex algorithms is quite different from that to run applications at scale in a cloud environment. This talk takes you on the journey from a customer's idea, through prototypes, to the realization of an application running advanced machine learning algorithms. It shows you what it takes to handle gigabytes of data per second. All from the perspective of a software architect at Sioux.

About Martin PoelstraMartin Poelstra is a Software Architect at Sioux Technologies. With more than 15 years of professional software development experience, he has worked on projects ranging from embedded software to web sites, from desktop applications to backend systems. Previously responsible for teams of software developers, he is now back at what he enjoys the most: solving technical challenges to deliver high-quality software that's user-friendly for both end-users and developers.

Dear GEWIS member, our evenings have been a lot less exciting now that we’re all in quarantine. After cleaning our rooms for the third time in two weeks we’ve been trying to learn new skills now that we are all at home, but we have also found the time to reminisce of our previous hobbies.

You too have probably started doing a lot of things you did in the past, like practicing old skills, reading old books or playing old computer games. Have you too forgotten all the awesome games you used to play? Then we’ve got the activity for you.

For GESeiK’s second ever activity we are organizing an online spele.nl tournament! We have selected the most nostalgic and fun games that you probably played way back when. During the last week of May you’ll get the chance to compete with other teams (of maximum 4 people) for who is best at these games and you might even win yourself a special prize!

Every day we’ll give you an game of the past for which you’ll have 2 days to get the highest score you can achieve. You can send these scores (with optionally a fun selfie included?) to us. So sign up on the GEWIS site with your group now and we’ll send you the details in due time.

Love, GESeiK

Dear members,

The extraordinarily successful "Keuken with I.V.V" makes its return for a second round! If you missed the first episode, you can enjoy a recap of some of the best moments on Youtube.

This Friday around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" will take to twitch.tv/hetdispuut once more to provide a culinary miracle. This time, the menu will consist of home made pasta with some sublime, student-proof options for pasta sauce! We will start preparing the fresh pasta at 5, during which you can of course join us too. The program itself will continue at 17:45, when the first sauces will be cooked. You can buy pasta from the grocery store if you don't have access to all the proper materials to make your own pasta. The pasta could also be made without these materials, but this won't be demonstrated during the live stream. We strive to have all sauces done by 7:30 p.m.

The recipes can be found here.

See you (or us) on Friday!

Valued GEWIS-member,

Since the first announcement of the idea on the GMM, you have shown significant interest in these unique, limited edition facemasks. Interest was shown for around 200 pieces by around 100 people.

Most feedback came on the design, which was made in a hurry by a mechanical engineer. Thanks to a design team formed by Samuel Oosterholt, Levi Prikken, Marlene van Laar and Illona Hoenderop, we can now proudly present you an awesome design available for order!

We changed suppliers as well to have more options for printing and more comfortable materials. Therefore, we now have a cotton back for greater comfort so you can wear it without problems on train rides to Enschede and the masks have all over printing.

Ladies and gentlemen, you will not believe it, but these awesome GEWIS masks will be available for €3.50 each! Therefore, do not wait any longer and order enough to get you through COVID-times!

On our current timeline, we expect the masks to arrive on the 5th of June latest(when picking up).

Registration is possible at https://forms.gle/81XmmxNqkd2Z5a8u5

With kind, socially distant greetings,

Members' initiative "GEWIS-facemasks",

Value GEWISsers,

As the one and a half-meter society begins to take shape and it becomes clear what "the new normal" will look like, it also begins to become clear that the possession of a face mask is necessary for travelling in public transport and to other public places.

Taking into account that the Aliexpress has long delivery times and questionable quality and alternatives produced in our home country are not suitable for our student budgets, here is the "members initiative facemasks", with which you can safely and RIVM-proof take part in the one and a half metere society.

Made of OEKO-TEX® 100-polyester, they don't cause irritation, can be washed at 60 degrees and also look gigantically fashionable.

The price is around €3.50 each when you pick them up in Eindhoven, shipping within the Netherlands is 1.80. If you left the low countries, do not weep, since as long as you pay the shipping and PostNL delivers, I will send it to everywhere in the world

A preliminary design can be found on https://imgur.com/a/ceM0XxK, but I am definitely open to suggestions, ideas and comments! These can be sent to sjaarsrick@gewis.nl.

Please indicate how many you would like and whether or not you would like them shipped. This is an interest list, if there is interest (> 50 pieces) there will be a registration list where you can actually order. If we don't make it to 50, I will start crying hard.

Your name and membership numberThe email address you use for Microsoft Teams (All TU/e students can log in with their student address)The date stated on your profile on the GEWIS site in the column ``Last membership change''.

This will be the Wissel-ALV (Election GMM) in which the thirty ninth board will be elected. There will be a vote about storing the profits of the NWERC into a reserve at GEWIS. A group of people to evaluate the Multi Annual Strategic Vision of GEWIS must be formed, so there will also be a vote on that. Furthermore, the candidate board will present a draft of their board policy and there will be voted on the continuation of the fraternities.

Dear Batavieren,

As you may have noticed, the regular edition of the Batavierenrace does not take place due to the COVID-19 virus. Nevertheless there is an alternative: the first online Batavierenrace! Of course we want to participate in this with a team of GEWIS members. It goes as follows: we have to run 125km together, so the organizing party expects 25 screenshots of the runned distance and the time that together add up to 125km.

So our plan is as follows: everyone runs from their quarantaine spot around 5 kilometers. Register your run via for instance Strava, or your most prefered app and take a screenshot containing the route, the distance, the time and your name. Please notice that your run has to be done between Friday 1 May 00:48 and Saterday 2 May 23:59, otherwise your run won't count. Send your screenshot to bata@gewis.nl and join in the online Batavierenrace!

As we can not cheer each other and as there is nobody to take pictures during your run, we ask you to take selfies to get a feeling of the ambiance we normally have during the Batavierenrace. Saturday evening we will have an online drink (bring your own Schulties) to finish it together. Everyone can join, so subscribe such that we know that we have enough participants.

For everyones safety it is important to keep 1,5 meters distance of others during your run and to walk alone. In this way we can still have a nice edition of the Batavierenrace.

Sportive regards,The Bata committee

Do you find yourself watching Netflix instead of studying? Is your homework piling up, but are you distracting yourself with that new game that just came out? Did you suddenly pick up running, but only to run away from your schoolwork? Don’t look any further, because we might be able to help you!In times like this, where working from home is the only option, it can be hard to stay productive and focus on your classes. And since we’re going to be stuck in this situation until at least the end of this semester; we’re organizing a workshop about motivation. Where in this case “we” is the FYC TRAIN workgroup, that contains of four members of different FYCs and two members of TRAIN.During the training you will learn about motivation, what it is and the pitfalls of it. You will also learn about setting goals and distractions. An important part of the training is setting up a buddy systems. This way you can talk with other people about staying motivated and those people can support you. The training will be given in two sessions, the first session will be held April 29 from 19:30-21:00, and the second session will take place at the May 7, at the same time. The two sessions can’t be attended separately, so please make sure that, if you subscribe, you’re available both these dates. The training will take place in Zoom.Since a part of the training takes place within groups, and some people might prefer doing this with people they know well, there is an opportunity to subscribe with a group (please fill in the same group name). A group should consist of 5 people. If you don’t have a preference, then you can of course fill in “I don’t have a group’” and we will make sure that you are added to a group.The training will be given by Jan Reinder Rosing who works for Project Wijsheid. This is the same company the trainer of TRAIN’s willpower training works for.So, if you are ready to get motivated again, or to stay motivated, then you are very welcome. There are only 35 spots available, so if you suddenly can’t make it to the training please let us know in time, so that we can make someone else happy with your spot.

Arrrr! The GEZWEM sailing weekend is coming up!This year, because GEZWEM is turning 20, we will have a grandiose celebration with our 4th lustRUM weekend. Unlike other years instead of sailing on small 'valkjes' we will go sailing on the ship De Vrijheid (The Freedom), a large three-master. With this beautiful ship we tour around the IJsselmeer. The exact route and sights strongly depend on the weather, so we will announce those later.

If you're up for a weekend of sailing on a beautiful ship combined with drinking some rum and beer, enroll yourself for the 20th edition of the GEZWEM weekend, our 4th lustRUM weekend!

There is also the opportunity to only join us on the Saturday for one day of sailing of you sadly can't make it for the whole weekend.

We will leave from Enkhuizen which is well accessible by public transport.

Caution: the capacity for the 'Entire Weekend' package is at most 34 persons, and the capacity for the 'Saturday Only' package is at most 12 persons.In this subscription list, we will apply a draw on those who subscribe within one hour from the opening of this subscription list, and the maximum capacity has been exceeded.Everyone who subscribed but has not been drawn for participating will be put on a reserve list.

These are hard times and unpleasant circumstances to live through during this crisis, which has been going on for far too long now due to the coronavirus presumably caused by the oral consumption of one of the only winged mammals on earth called Chiroptera, or popularly known as the Bat, which was presumably a carrier of the aforementioned virus. The disease spreads between humans through bodily fluids from the mouth and nose, which is why there are guidelines that prevent us from being affected. This ensures that nowadays people live in isolation, and therefore coverstating with those around them is kept to a minimum and comes less from their trusted environment. It would make you delusional!

But don't be sad! Hèt Dispuut comes up with a solution for all those who sit at home without any amusement in the late hours of the ordinary and boring working day. Dispuut ``In Vino Veritas'' would also like to contribute to the continuity of social events as well as entertaining (among others) the members of our wonderful study association. The fact is that thanks to Hèt Dispuut in normal circumstances all GEWIS members can regularly enjoy the decadence we wish you and of course ourselves at any time by organizing exquisite activities. Since these activities normally involve meeting our loved ones in person, we too have not been idle and have come up with a solution to transfer this decadence not only to our residences, but also to those of everyone else who is regularly present at our activities.

A responsible small group of enthusiastic members of Hèt Dispuut will prepare two dishes on the evening of Tuesday 21 April. The preparation of these dishes can be followed via a digital medium (Twitch) by anyone who wants to join this show which will undoubtedly be a show of excellence. Well in advance of this broadcast, two shopping lists will be placed on the web, one for a beginner's dish, and the other for a dish where you will undoubtedly surprise your parents with during an extensive Christmas dinner, provided, of course, that the preparation will be executed correctly. In this way, anyone who accompanies us digitally can imitate the decadence we are producing for our own consumption in order to have the same decadence take place in their own residence. It will undoubtedly be a crackling session.

UPDATE:The recipes can be found in the following file: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V3_zgkogt8NZl7MAsH1V6o7HfIRyHZwsOj2uxILTXf4/edit?usp=sharing

IOTA, the better version of Blockchain and the Ledger of Everything!In 2009, Bitcoin released its blockchain infrastructure and promised to become a global decentralized system that could be used by anyone without the need for intermediaries. Now, more than 10 years later it has become apparent (high fee’s, slow transaction times and poor scalability) that blockchains mathematical model isn’t suited to become a worldwide payment system.

However, the next generation of Distributed Ledger Technology is now here and it’s called IOTA! This protocol is designed from the ground up to power the Machine economy through feeless micro-transactions and data integrity utilizing a mathematical principle, called Directed-Acyclic-Graph (DAG). It is this concept that allows IOTA to outperform blockchain in every way and established a network dubbed the ‘‘Tangle’’ It is expected that this technology will become the very backbone for the Internet of Things and power the internet of tomorrow! Curious how this works? Come and listen to the presentation!

The coronavirus grips every nook and cranny of the world and the whole of the Netherlands is at home. Sport has been cancelled, lectures are no longer taking place and our beloved "dakterras" is closed to have a beer after a hard day.

In these times it is important to keep yourself busy. You can easily start doing things you never really get around to, like finishing your BEP, passing that one course and the new Animal Crossing. However, sometimes you miss that little bit of competition that you normally have on the sports field.

That's why there's a pub quiz on Monday night! Through the magic of the internet one can join this pub quiz corona-free in the comfort of his or her own living room! Make a team of 2-6 people, skype/discord each other (you're not supposed to meet up for this quiz), get a drink and fight for eternal fame.

For the GEWIS members for whom eternal fame is not good enough, there are extra reasons to join: The winner wins a 10 euro drinks card, so the first round at the next drink is free!

The world is full of cultures, traditions and local products for us to enjoy. French wine, Catalan fuet, Portugese port... many consumables of which we have the privilege to taste during many of our Maand'lijksche Borrels. Nonetheless, closer to our Dutch homes, there are plenty other things to enjoy.

Last week, we have participated in one of our Dutch traditions originating from the southern parts of our little country: carnaval. To add to this ultimate chance to experience a week of Dutch culture, Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" will organize the "Old-Dutch Borrel". Here, you can all enjoy the more traditional drinks and bites from the Netherlands. This festivity full of "gezelligheid" will take place in the usual GEWIS room "Het Dakterras" and will start on Wednesday March 4 around 17:30. We hope to see you all during this unforgettable evening!

P.S. traditional Dutch clothing is not obligatory.

What do preliminary schools and garbage collection have in common? Indeed, both are areas where society benefits from mathematics! These days, lots of primary schools are digitizing and many are letting their pupils use tablets to solve exercises. Instead of letting them all make the same exercises, what if we can match exercises to a pupil's level? How do we determine then which exercises are difficult? And which pupils need more personal care? Mathematics will tell you how to solve this chicken and egg problem. Additionally, Marloes will show you how mathematics can save a municipality millions each year. But how do you convince a government that you are right and they are wrong (without literally saying this, believe me... that doesn't help). How to convince them to invest in your ideas and put trust in math. Join the lunch lecture and find out more about with garbage collection and maths! About Marloes Boswerger After her internship at LIME, Marloes finished her MSc (Industrial and Applied Mathematics) at the TU/e and joined Sioux as a Mathware Engineer in the Sioux Mathware Competence Center (formerly known as LIME). Within the Mathware department, Marloes strengthened her portfolio with projects related to data analysis, blockchains, neural networks and more. Note: After subscription, showing up is mandatory. Unsubscribing is possible until Monday the 2nd of March, 23.59h

The case will guide you through the steps of an ASML metrology engineer trying to diagnose the issue with the new wafer heating correction model. You will be learning about the model’s purpose and inner workings, studying machine measurement data, and proposing experiments in an attempt to pinpoint the problem and fix it.

About the caseAfter two years of intensive study and development, you proudly present your new and improved software package, meant to suppress wafer heating effects in ASML’s new 140 million euro scanner. Just in time, too, since the scanners are about to be shipped to customers.And then, after one week of use, it turns out not to work. This happened to us a time ago, and led to a frantic and broad search for the root cause of the problem. During the investigation, we had to consider not just the software, but also the software’s relation to the surrounding mechatronic system, and the basic physics involved. The wafer heating student case is based on our records of this period.

The case will guide you (in teams) through the steps of an ASML metrology engineer trying to diagnose the issue with the new wafer heating correction model. You will be learning about the model’s purpose and inner workings, studying machine measurement data, and proposing experiments in an attempt to pinpoint the problem and fix it. But don’t forget! The customer is already using the machine. You’d better hurry, because as always, time is money!

Using a ‘choose your own adventure’ style game, diagnose a design problem in the interaction of the wafer heating feed-forward functionality. The game is played in teams which compete with each other to see who solves the problem while spending the lowest amount of ‘effort’ points.

From 18:30 until 22:00, we will be playing 30 seconds in teams of 2, which means you may subscribe with one teammate and either you or your teammate subscribes both of you together as a team (or subscribe alone to be paired up with a random other player). While enjoying drinks and snACks you can try to beat the other people in the tournament. The ACtivity is free and will take place at GEWIS. If you think you are a 30 seconds master, but also if you are a rookie you can subscribe down below. See you then!

Hugs, the AC

After last year's success of the Alexa workshop, Ortec Finance is back with a new workshop, Game of Homes!

In the Game of Homes, your team poses as Ortec Finance and will advise a struggling housing association which risks bankruptcy if nothing changes. It is your job to come up with a strategy involving rent policies, renovations and more. The housing association must remain financially healthy while fulfilling core goals like low rents and high sustainability. Your ideas are scored against economic scenarios provided by Ortec Finance. Beat your opponents, become the best consultant and win the Game of Homes!

You will implement strategies as formulas within programming code, but we set up the case such that you do not require extensive programming experience (although it can certainly help). The workshop involves some basic econometrics and computational modeling.

Note that there is a maximum of 20 participants!

With the Christmas holiday behind us, we look to the next festivity coming up! Like last year, FESTIVITEIT will be distributing roses at GEWIS on Valentine’s Day (February 14th). Do you have a secret crush you want to surprise? Would you like to treat your girl-/boyfriend? Do you want to let your friends know how much you appreciate them? Or do you want to give a rose to someone of the faculty? You can now buy one or more roses from the members of FESTIVITEIT for just one euro a piece! You will get a card from us, on which you can write a sweet message for the receiver of your rose. There’s a Cupidoos on the windowsill at GEWIS where you can hand in your cards. From there on out we’ll make sure that each message gets attached to a rose and that your beloved knows (via email) there’s a rose waiting for them at GEWIS on Friday February the 14th. The cards will be sold till Thursday February the 6th. So, if you love/like someone and want them to know this, buy them a rose!

Also, there will be two prizes! One for the person who bought the most roses, and one lottery prize, which will be awarded to the buyer of a random ticket. Of course we will make sure these two winners will not be the same person.

The rose receivers need to pick up their rose at GEWIS themselves. However if you sent a rose to a faculty member, and make this clear on the card, FESTIVITEIT will bring it to them.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Some of you might already be familiar with pub quizzes. Most I.V.V’ers enjoy the occasional pub quiz. However, whenever we would participate in one of these so called quizzes, we noticed that there was something missing; a certain “Je ne sais quoi”, if you’ll pardon my French. We realized that we were unable to showcase our tactical acumen that would even put a 5 star general to shame during these quizzes. Thus, we decided to add a bluffing element to our quizzes.

There is no better feeling than staring down your opponent and making them believe you answered more questions correctly then they did (which might not even be the case). When you succeed in this you will be overcome with joy and euphoria. To give you an opportunity to feel this joy and euphoria yourselves, I.V.V will organize a bluffing quiz evening in the style of a Dutch television show called “Met het Mes op Tafel”. This form of quizzing does have some specific rules which will be explained at the beginning of the evening. A rough translation of the game rules can also be found here https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=nl&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.maxvandaag.nl%2Fprogrammas%2Ftv%2Fmet-het-mes-op-tafel%2Fspelregels-mes-op-tafel%2F .

In regular I.V.V fashion, we will be serving delicious hors d’oeuvre and wines during the entire evening. At the end of the quiz, the participants will be able to continue enjoying the company of their quizmasters and the hors d’oeuvres and wines at the bar.

The activity will take place on the 11th of February at GEWIS starting at 19:00. Only 25 spots will be available so make sure to sign up in time. This will be possible starting the 5th of February starting at 12:00.

Vanderlande delivers material handling solutions, including systems that automate complete warehouses, which can be extremely large. The size and complexity of these systems make them impossible to test in real life. Imagine having to move 200 000 trays every time you need to redo a test. Within Vanderlande we solve this problem by building an emulation model. During this lunch presentation we will explain how our emulation model is built. Furthermore, we will discuss some other interesting developments within Vanderlande

The emulation model is built with Java and OpenGL. We’ll be discussing some of the technical challenges we’ve had to overcome, and of course our solutions to them. To facilitate our work, we’ve also implemented a DSL (domain specific language), which helps with modelling components typically seen in a warehouse or baggage handling system. We will use that to give you a general feeling of what we do on a daily basis.

This lecture will be given by Rick Hendricksen (Senior Software Engineer & old GEWIS-member) and Dennis van den Berg (Product Owner)

Note: After subscription, showing up is mandatory. Unsubscribing is possible until Tuesday the 10th of February, 23.59h

TNO is an independent research organization who connects people and knowledge to create innovations that boost the sustainable competitive strength of industry and well-being of society. TNO focuses on nine themes, two of them being ICT and Industry who jointly cooperate in the Smart Industry program. This program aims to execute the Dutch Smart Industry Agenda in order to support manufacturing organizations embrace Industry 4.0 concepts. Mike de Roode is a Scientist Integrator at the Data Science department of TNO and is working on semantic interoperability solutions as part of the Smart Industry agenda.

An example project Mike is working on is the Fieldlab Smart Connected Supplier Network (SCSN), a collaboration between small and large manufacturing organizations, software vendors/integrators, and sector organizations. The goal of the SCSN project is to better integrate the manufacturing organizations in complex dynamic supply chain collaborations in such a way that they can optimally exchange order-, logistical- and production process measurement-data. This solution supports the complex environment of the high-tech equipment manufacturing Industry in the Brainport region and should work both for large enterprises, as for small SME’s which do not have the resources for extensive IT integration efforts. Nowadays, SCSN is implemented by almost all relevant software vendors so manufacturing organizations can use the standard to communicate with a large network of suppliers and customers, both national as international.

Dear members,

In the past (ask older members) the three TUs in the Netherlands have organized a special day where the members of the Mathematics and Computer Science Study Associations could meet eachother and have a fun day together. This was called a DET-day (for Delft, Eindhoven and Twente).

Now this has been a very long time ago, and Enschede wants to bring the DET-day back. Sadly, the Delft has already said that they do not have any interest in such a day. The question is: Do we?

For our ET-day some fun activities would be organized like a campus tour, maybe a pub quiz, and of course a `borrel' afterwards. The party that wants to organize it is also looking into options for participants to sleep in Twente so you can discover Enschede by night. This day is not yet planned, so it is fully dependent on this interest list if the activity will be organized.

So are you interested? Subscribe!Are you solely interested if you can stay at night? Say yes in that column!Are there things that you would like to see as a day activity? Please state so!

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

With the holidays approaching us, the end of the year is getting closer and closer. However, before you all completely disappear from the face of the earth, buried under oliebollen, Christmas dinners with family and mountains with fireworks on New Year's Eve, I would like to draw your attention to a unique event which will take place in the first week of January.

In the sign of good intentions, insofar as you think that your soul can still be saved by undertaking actions of this kind, I ask your attention for a very special drink in the first week of the new year, a I.V.V-tradition, namely, the I.V.V New Year's drink. I thus hereby invite you to toast on a decadent year together with the Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" and to kick off a new decade while enjoying a bubble or a vin.

If this good intention is not challenging enough for you, I hereby present to you that Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" also offers you the unique opportunity to taste one of the most delicate bites to be found on this earth. For those who dare, and for those who are already admirers, there will be the opportunity to bite an oyster. If that is not a good start of the year, then I don’t know anymore either. So don't be afraid and let yourself be surprised on Tuesday the 7th of January by Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" with a bubble and an oyster!

On behalf of Fraternity "In Vino Veritas",

Mrs. Van Veenendaal

DevOps, a developers role?The introduction of Agile software development has caused the frequency of software deliveries to increase and has changed the view on how this should be achieved. According to DevOps, developers should play a role in operations. But what does this mean in practice? This presentation will introduce the world of Operations and what they perceive as working software. What is required for Continuous Integration and Delivery and for Lifecycle management. It will also show how a developer can contribute to this, improving the overall quality of the software you create and saving time in the long run.

About Pieter DelmeePieter Delmee is a Senior Software Designer at Sioux Technologies. He has worked on many applications in his career, varying from stand-alone Windows applications, up to web-portals serving 700 concurrent users.

Hooggeëerd publiek, Het is mij een grote eer en een waar genoegen u te mogen melden dat het Dispuut “In Vino Veritas” dit jaar wederom het Decadent Weekend zal gaan organiseren. In het weekend van dertien, veertien en vijftien december zullen wij zoals u van ons gewenst bent afreizen naar een prachtig kasteel om hier Het weekend van het jaar op te zetten. Vrijdag zullen we afreizen naar dit “schittermagische” kasteel. Eenmaal aangekomen zult u de mogelijkheid krijgen om te herstellen van uw lange en barre reis, van het gewone leven naar het decadente leven, onder het genot van een heerlijke maaltijd en zoals u van ons gewend bent de eersteklas wijnen. Daarnaast zullen wij op de nacht van vrijdag naar zaterdag het feit vieren dat zestien jaar geleden, de heren Beckers, Ceelen, Verheijen en Zwerts het licht zagen en alsof door een oproep van God bij elkaar kwamen om de samen Hét Dispuut In Vino Veritas op te richten. Dit memorabele stukje wereldgeschiedenis moet uiteraard met gepaste uitbundigheid worden gevierd, en hier zullen wij u dan ook alle mogelijkheden voor bieden. Nadat enkelen van u een stevig ontbijt zullen hebben verorberd en anderen onder u ervoor kiezen om de roes wat langer uit te slapen, zullen we het kasteel verlaten om een gedenkwaardige zaterdagmiddagactiviteit bij te wonen. Enkelen leden van Het Dispuut zullen achterblijven in het kasteel, niet om dit te verdedigen tegen een eventuele aanval. Maar om voor u een koninklijk 7-gangen feestmaal neer te zetten. Hier krijgt u het recht om te genieten van culinaire creaties die hun weerga niet kennen, en we zouden onszelf tekort doen om deze te beschrijven als iets anders dan “goddelijk”. Wanneer u terugkeert van de zaterdagmiddagactiviteit krijgt u de optie (lees verplichting) om uw kledij aan te passen naar kleding die eer doet aan wat u te wachten staat en past bij het decadente niveau van Het Weekend. Tussen de gangen door mag u genieten van entertainment van de hoogste plank, potverdrie wat bent u toch een gelukkig persoon dat u dit allemaal mag meemaken. Wanneer men uitgedineerd is zal er de mogelijkheid bestaan nog even, dan wel wat langer, na te tafelen onder het genot van de overgebleven, dan wel nieuw bijgehaalde wijnen, zodat iedereen met een voldaan en verzadigd gevoel ten langen leste zijn of haar bed kan opzoeken om de nacht in rust door te brengen. Wanneer u uit uw slaap ontwaakt ,en wellicht een kort ontbijt heeft genuttigd, zullen wij u verzoeken (kort) te helpen met het opruimen van het kasteel. Waarna u vrij bent om terug te keren naar Eindhoven. Voor dit majestueus weekend zal plek zijn voor 23 man dus schrijf u snel in. Met Amicale Groet Luc Damhuis Praeses der Dispuut "In Vino Veritas"

The year is almost coming to an end and it seems like everyone is getting busier with every turn of the earth around its own axis. The dusk falls upon us earlier and the mood is getting cozier by the day. The weather is getting more gray and colder and most of you are probably already longing to take your red and green clothes out of your closet and have an early Christmas. So it is the perfect time to relax inside by a fire and spend time with good company.

Luckily, you can count on The Fraternity “In Vino Veritas” once again to provide you with the perfect chance to have a relaxing night filled with good company, delicious snacks and exquisite drinks. On Friday the 22nd of November another one of our notorious Maand’lijksche Borrels will take place in our beloved GEWIS-room ‘Het Dakterras’. Everyone is welcome at our special Friday edition which will be dominated by a special wine from the country in the south of Europe with a green and red flag, Portugal. Of course the usual delicious wines will be available, but there has been made a selection of various premium ports which will broaden your taste pallet for good. Next to that there will also be our usual tasty bites, of which some will be home-made this time. All this to ensure you can begin the weekend with a nice relaxing evening ‘by the fire’.

We hope to see you all there!

Hello dear reader,

Dracula has organised a party, and you have been invited! Be warned: this will most certainly not be your average party...

You could be one of the murderers, trying to eliminate specific targets, steal objects, or just kill as many people as possible without being caught. Or you could be one of the detectives, who can only win by locking up murderers, but who lose when they arrest someone innocent. Or maybe you are just trying to abuse the chaos and confusion in order to fulfill your own, completely different, goals. Either way, chaotic fun is guaranteed! Oh, and don't worry: we have special roles for those who get knocked out of the game :3

We will run the game twice. At most ~30 people can play each time, so (depending on the amount of subscriptions) you can play twice!

See you there!

~ GEPWNAGE

This training takes place in the afternoon

In your life you cross paths with many new people, and with some you have daily contact: teachers, peers, colleagues ... Sometimes you are "on the same wavelength" with someone and sometimes it seems as if you come from completely different planets. You get along well with some, but with others you have difficulty.What do you do if the other person exhibits behavior that is difficult for you, for example if you are addressed by an authoritarian person in a fierce and compelling tone? Or what will your approach be if you want to make a timid and not very talkative conversation partner enthusiastic about something and it doesn't work? And how do you deal with a talkative and over-enthusiastic colleague who constantly drowns you out during a meeting? The key to the answering this lies in understanding and applying the psychology that lies behind behavior and the many colors that you can recognize within this behavior.

In this training you learn how you can recognize people by their behavior and how you can deal with different behaviors. On the one hand so that you can get a "click" with them and you can achieve your own goals. On the other hand to prevent conflicts and to keep up in situations that are difficult for you.

For this training there are apporximately 30 spots so be sure to subscribe in time!

Just like previous years GEWIS will be attending the event and by joining us you can attend for the discounted price of just 7 euros!

Unlike previous years the 'Spellenspektakel' will not take place in Eindhoven due to the closing of the Beursgebouw. The convention has therefore moved to the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht.

Luckily the organizers have teamed up with NS to create a special travel ticket that provides access to the event and a return ticket from Eindhoven. Paired with the GEWIS discount this will cost just 15 euros (instead of the regular 7 euros). Please select the checkbox when subscribing if you want to use this option!

Please note that we will purchase he tickets in advance. If you are subscribed after the subscription deadline, then you are obliged to pay for your ticket.

TLDR; Lunch lecture about Docker Containers and Microservices with free Domino's pizza! Modern software systems need to be flexible, scalable and reliable. The industry hype says that a combination of Docker containers with a Microservices based architecture is well suited to meet those demands. The presentation will show that there are good reasons for the claim and they are not just buzzwords. The talk will first provide a brief introduction into Docker containers and the Microservices architecture pattern. It will then describe a concrete case that Sioux is working on where a monolithic application is refactored into Docker based microservices, resulting in a flexible, scalable and reliable system. About the speaker: Henk van den Heuvel is a software architect at Sioux Technologies. He has worked with systems varying in size from 8 bit microcontrollers to scalable cloud based systems and is always eager to learn about new technologies. Programming himself is still one of his activities. Not only because he likes to do so, but also to keep practical experiences with these new techniques. Note: After subscription, showing up is mandatory. Unsubscribing is possible until Wednesday the 16th of October, 23.58h

Demystifying AI

Is AI really going to cause an industrial revolution scale change, or is it just the next hyped tech buzzword like blockchain? In this talk we will briefly go over AI and break it up into technical components that actually have a clear definition. From this point we will look at how AI is presented in the news and blog posts and evaluate where it is actually implemented in everyday industry and business.

Hope to see you then. If you don't have a switch, you can also come and play with us if someone has a spot left on his or her console.

Data Science with purpose - That is the motto under which Pipple started in an attic room in Eindhoven. In the meantime, 3 years have passed and the club data scientists and data engineers no longer fit in an attic room, in fact, due to our rapid growth, even the second Pipple office has already been started! This rapid growth has been possible through incredibly cool projects in both the logistics direction and data science for customers such as DHL, CoolBlue, Achmea and Philips. In addition, we have not lost sight of our motto and we are helping the Red Cross data department with various assignments and supervising graduates and trainees who can work on Red Cross projects. If you would like to hear more about our purpose projects and our company, you can do so during a lunch lecture on 10 September!

Dear members, as the exams are getting closer and closer, we are already looking forward to all the nice things to do in the summer holiday. We guess that you are doing the same, being in doubt about which exotic island you will explore and what extravagant festivals you will visit. Well, Défi is here to make that decision a little easier for you because on Saturday the 3rd of August, we will go see the Canal Parade in Amsterdam!

The Canal Parade will start at 12:30 from the Scheepvaart, so we will gather around 12:00 at Amsterdam Central Station. The exact meeting time will be communicated to all participants later on. The Canal Parade will end at approximately 17:00, however the after parties will have already started by 16:00 so we will go and check some of those out as well. Note that if you want to arrive later or leave earlier, that is fine as well!

So if you are straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, curious, asexual, pansexual, gender-non-conforming, gender-fluid, non-binary, androgynous, all of the above or nothing from above, make sure that you subscribe!!

Note that the festival is completely free of charge, the only thing you have to pay for (and arrange yourself) is your travel to and from Amsterdam. However, you can get a group retour for approximately 5 euros a person*. So if you are interested in joining with this group deal, you can subscribe with that information and you can form groups yourself to buy this group retour.

Additional information on the Canal Parade can be found in this website https://www.amsterdamgaypride.nl/canal_parade/ or by watching last years aftermovie https://youtu.be/uzBkGUMRJOw . We hope to see all of you on the 3rd of August!!

In case there are any questions or remarks, feel free to contact any member of Défi or mail to defi@gewis.nl !

Hugs from Défi!
