ADI EVENTS

1. Hacker Office Hours
Tuesday, 11/22, 10–11 pm in Lerner 569
Come with anything you want to hack on! If you want help with a technology, come and get help on your project from people who are more experienced, or if you're already experienced, come share your knowledge and find collaborators!


2. ADI Holiday Party
Thursday, 12/1 8:30 - 11:30pm in the CS Lounge
Come out and join ADI for drinks, deserts, talk tech, and meet Columbia alums working in startups! We'll have egg nog, apple cider, cake, cookies, and pastries to set the mood at this great opportunity to meet our members, upperclassmen, and Columbia alumni to talk about startups, programming, how to get involved in Columbia's fast growing developer community, or anything else you're interested in!

We'd love to answer any questions you have about classes and discuss the benefits of making a hobby or major out of computers. You'll also learn about our upcoming tech workshops where we teach you programming languages, how to setup a website and much more!

Better yet, with the holidays approaching, but finals in the way, we're here to have a good time. Everyone's welcome to attend! Bring a friend and we'll see you there! Check out the Facebook Event Page.


3. TechCulture
Saturday, 12/3, 11am – 3pm in the CS Lounge
Open source: Denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed with or without modification.  Curious about open source initiatives, what they are, how to get involved, and how to use them?  Come to TechCulture, where James Socol, a developer from Mozilla will introduce you to the open source community, we'll help you get set up with Linux, help you learn how you can take advantage of open source technology on campus, and feed you!
