Some of the talks held during the 125th IEEE Anniversary celebration

Hi everybody,

it’s a long time since our last post – in fact, it’s exams period right now here at the Politecnico so we’re kinda busy :) Vincenzo has gathered some of the presentations that were made during the 125th Anniversary celebration we had some weeks ago, so I’m posting them here on the site.

See you as soon as possible guys – and good luck for those having some exams ;)

A couple of pictures from our 125th IEEE Anniversary celebration

Hi everyone,

as you surely know from our previous posts, last week we hosted a meeting in the Conference Room of the DEI to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of IEEE, and almost 50 persons were present at the event throughout the whole morning .

Prof. Silvano Donati, Chairman of IEEE Italy Section, was present and opened the day with a review of IEEE’s history in our country: in fact, this year is also the 50th Anniversary of our Section, therefore that was the perfect occasion to learn a little more about this.

After a short presentation of i3Poli held by Vincenzo, Marco and me, other talks were given by Prof. Sergio Pignari, by Prof. Alessandro Ferrero and finally by Prof. Luigi Dadda. Additionally, Luka Lugaric, a former IEEE Region 8 SAC member and now a member of the Professional Development Committee, took part to the celebration and encouraged the students to actively participate to IEEE’s life.

At the end of the meeting – around 1 PM – we held a subscription party, during which five students registered to IEEE and thus also became members of i3Poli, our Student Branch.

Now we are writing a short article on this event to send to our Region, with the hope to be published on the next number of R8News magazine – coming out on October, 2009. If you want to participate on the discussion for this, please go to our mailing list.

Here are a couple of pictures we took during the meeting:

We want to thanks everyone who participated to our celebration, and hope to gain experience from this first event to better organize the next ones! So stay tuned, or – better – become an active member of our Student Branch!

IEEE 125th Anniversary and 50th Anniversary of IEEE Italy Section

ieee125

NOTE: The schedule is changed and the meeting has been moved to the Conference Room of DEI

At the beginning of the day, S.Donati, Italy Section Chair will speak about “Italy Section Presentation”, then there will be a quick introduction of i3Poli by the Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary and then Luka Lugarić, IEEE Region 8 SAC, will speak about the importance of the IEEE Student Branches. Other talks will be not affected by this change.

We are glad to invite you all at IEEE 125th Anniversary that we will attend on 13th of May at “Sala Seminari” of the DEI building at Politecnico di Milano. IEEE is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. Today, the organization’s scope of interest has expanded into so many related fields, that it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E).

I3Poli, as an IEEE Student Branch, organized this day in which 3 mayor authorities of the advancement of technology will spoke about their stories and the opportunities that IEEE offers to Students and GOLD Members (GOLD Members are graduate students, member of IEEE, in the last decade). The event is focused to show what IEEE is, what it offers for professionists and how to join the i3Poli Student Branch.

I3Poli is a student association in Politecnico di Milano to allow cooperations and projects between different kind of students (software engineering, mechanical engineering, telecommunication engineering, chemical enigeering, electrical engineering, etc…) and to make students be part of IEEE network to reach technical documentation (all the IEEE archive) and keep informed about news in the engineering field . You can read more about us in the About page

What are you waiting for? Let’s meet at the Party! :)

Jaunty Release Party

Jaunty Release Party Milano

We announce that on 24 of April in room I.0.1 of Politecnico di Milano we will attend the Jaunty install fest.

The even is organized by i3Poli and POuL.

Jaunty is the new release of the Ubuntu operating system.

Ubuntu, (pronounced /u’bun.tu/, or “Oo-boon-too”), is a computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux. Ubuntu’s goals include providing an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation. Ubuntu has been rated as the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop, claiming approximately 30% of desktop Linux installations in 2007.[2]

This release party is a meeting to help other engineers and other people in installing ubuntu and discover its features since Linux is very used in many engineering fields.

Minute from April 2009

3rd april meeting report:

-) Synesis Forum:
All the work has been done. We just have to create a doodle pool to give our availability to stay at the desk.

-) IEEE 125th celebration party:
The schedule of the talks has been done and will be posted here later. The leaflet of the event will be completed as soon as possible by Vincenzo, using the background proposed by Stefano. A small black and white version of the leaflet will be created later, to print it on a larger scale. We will use about 400€ of our fund to print the big color leaflet, 90€ for the coffee break and the rest to print the black and white leaflets.
Our fund is 500€.

-) Ubuntu release party:
On the 24th of April there will be a party on the occasion of the release of the new Ubuntu 9.04 linux distribution. For the leaflet, we will use the picture chosen by Vincenzo and add on it: “distribuzione linux facile da usare – presentazione e installazione” Ubuntu leaflet deadline: 8th April

-) We will switch the mailing lists to google groups.

-) We decided to switch to wordpress for our website, because it’s easier to manage than drupal, that is installed in the current version. At the beginning we will maintain both drupal and wordpress and we will
switch to wordpress later. Wordpress will let us integrate a calendar synchronized with google groups.

-) We changed our motto to : “Promoting engineering at Politecnico di Milano”.

-) We should use Politecnico’s newsletter politamtam to inform all the student about our activities.

-) During 125th celebration party we will try to get at least 30 signs of new and old i3poli members, to be recognized as an association by Politecnico, in order to obtain funds for our activities.

-) We will create a doodle pool to choose the day (between the 20th and the 30th of April) during which we will make a movie at Politecnico to be appended to this video:
http://www.goldaroundtheworld.com/

-) Hydra issue:
articles will be published aperiodically as posts on the new wordpress website, without the old template, which could be used to create a journal to join a certain number of articles. This way it’s easier to write and immediately publish an article by anybody.

Organizzazione IEEE 125°:
sono stati spesi 218€ per i manifesti del 125°, 264€ saranno spesi per il servizio catering, restano massimo 18€ per comprare altro cibo/bevande al supermercato. Martedì 12 alle ore 18.00 ci troviamo al DEI per andare a fare la spesa. Bisogna avvisare la portineria del DEI per preparare i tavolini per il catering.
Lunedì 11, invece, bisogna appendere i manifesti in tutto il campus.
Stiamo preparando le slide per la presentazione di: Hydra, Fsoc, Neomeeting, ubuntu 9.04 party, cambio mailing list e il nuovo sito web.
Bisogna comunicare l’evento agli studenti del politecnico per email e agli iscritti a IEEE per mezzo di Samiee, in italiano e in inglese.
