In this post, Andrew McKenzie talks about the committee and his role as the NZCSRSC 2008 Minister of Internal Affairs. In this role, Andrew takes care of all internal matters such as communications between team members, making sure all reports are filed, the conference wiki (for organising the conference) is kept up to date and in order, and all written/email communication is taken care of. He also is responsible for organising and being a scribe at all meetings. To help him along with his duties, Andrew comes equipped with a tall stature, booming voice, authoritative personality, and a very large whip.

A new blog post by Sascha regarding the info session held at UC is now up. To promote the conference, different universities had promotional events – where previous attendees from the respective Universities introduced the conference (usually by presentation) to new students in their department. At UC, this was done over a pizza lunch. As Sascha says, pizzas make a great bribe for students!

Posters for the NZCSRSC 2008 have been printed and sent out to all universities. In the next few days you should be able to see some of these posters around your department.
