18.01.2022 The July 2020 monthly meeting will be held online Wednesday July 1 at 7pm. The July monthly meeting is a departure from the new Corona normal in a couple of ways. For a start Kirsten Greed has agreed to take over organising the meetings, so the program will be a little different. We have also decided to try something different from previous e-meetings, and let everyone "into the room" with the speakers/presenter. That is a bit of technical gamble, because with maybe 50 people...Continue reading

09.01.2022 Our monthly meeting will be held this Wednesday, September 2 from 7pm onwards via Google Meet, which you can access from https://meet.google.com/krk-favm-oep Guest: Linda McIver Topic: Raising Heretics: Teaching effective Scepticism using Data Science... Linda McIver Dr Linda McIver is the Founder and Executive Director of the Australian Data Science Education Institute (ADSEI), a registered charity dedicated to ensuring that all Australian students have the chance to learn Data Science and Data Literacy skills in the context of authentic projects with real impact. Linda has a PhD in Computer Science Education, and extensive experience teaching at both tertiary and secondary levels. Through ADSEI, Linda now creates engaging Data Science Projects to empower students to use tech & data science skills to make positive change in their own communities. Talk Summary: Much of our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths education starts from a foundation of facts and known answers. This teaches our kids that the point of STEM is to Get The RIght Answer, whereas the best thing about STEM disciplines is actually fixing things and solving problems. In this talk I will show how ADSEI is dedicated to raising Heretics, and why Heresy is something we desperately need right now, both in the Data Science industry and the world as a whole. New meeting segment: iHelp Online In a similar vein to the Q&A segment that ran for many years at Moorabbin face to face monthly meetings, a member of the iHelp team will join the meeting each month to answer your technical questions. This month it is Harry Lewis. You are are invited to submit your questions to iHelp for responses during the meeting. Please send your questions by email to: [email protected] to arrive by 6pm on Wednesday, 2 September. Meeting Agenda 7.00pm sharp: Meeting opens.

02.01.2022 As the state government relaxes restrictions around COVID, so can we in Melb PC. Because of the ageing demographic of our members we are going to be very conservative about it. The following rules will apply from 18 June 2020 until further notice. We cant really say how long with the unprecedented situation we are in. Moorabbin rules For Moorabbin club rooms we are aware that a small number of members depend on using the WiFi for big downloads like Windows updates, and that ...has affected our stance on this. So the policy is as follows. If you have any suspicious symptoms, stay away until you have been tested with a negative result. If you are diagnosed with COVID 19 and have been in the club rooms in the previous three weeks please report that to the office on 9276 4000 Everyone coming into the club must sign in on the clipboard in reception. We will be very displeased if anyone fails to do so. There are security cameras recording! The garage is off limits unless you have specific authority to enter from two executive members of the committee. Members may come in to use the WiFi but must bring their own computer. This avoids conflicts over sanitising club computers. Club computers in public area will be disabled. Specific members are authorised by the committee to attend to work on transformations to the premises. SIGs will not be allowed to meet at Moorabbin - yet. It is OK to have hot drinks but used cups must be put in the dishwasher. It is totally unacceptable to drink a cup of water then put the cup back on the shelf. Yes, people have been spotted doing that! (We have a camera in the kitchen!) The biscuit barrel is off limits. You can consume food you bring in. You are responsible to yourself for sanitising any surface you intend to touch, such as the kitchen table. There is a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol and surfactant available. We are not providing a sanitising service. You are advised to wash your hands and/or use the hand sanitiser provided. Non-Moorabbin SIGs SIGs that use public meeting rooms across Melbourne may meet if they wish, but must comply with all the rules set by the owners of the premises. Nevertheless the committee recommends that they do not meet and instead continue with online meetings for a while longer. Stay safe!
