SCIFI invites you to join for a bicycle tour to La Trappe, the only Trappist brewery [1] in the Netherlands. The bicycle tour will take place in the afternoon of May 26th. In case of bad weather on that day, it will be postponed to June 16th. La Trappe is approximately 30km (about two hours cycling) from Eindhoven. At our destination, we will have time to relax, drink some beer, and to enjoy the surroundings. On the way back, we plan for a stop in Middelbeers to have ice cream. We will leave at 12:00pm from outside the main entrance of the main building (HG) and expect to be back at approximately 7:00pm. Food will not be provided, so either eat before-hand or bring some snacks. |

All across the world governments are pushing towards an unprecedented technological overhaul of the electrical grids in a major initiative that is known as smart grids.
Smart grids promise many benefits, including reduced energy consumption and costs and increased reliability and transparency. But as utilities increase their capabilities by transforming their analog, one-way digital power grids to bi-directional, digital smart grids, certain risks increase and utilities will have to devote more resources and attention to protecting the reliability of the grid.
Accenture will highlight some of the interesting trends and roadmaps as well as networking and security challenges coming with the move towards smart grids. The presentation will focus on the practical way the energy industry is dealing with the challenges. This will not only provide you with insights into this hot topic, but also give you the opportunity to learn more about Accenture and the kind of work they do. |

After our succesful third LAN last year, time is near for our fourth LAN. The idea is a little different then last year: everybody's welcome on friday from 19:00, but we can only enter the main room at 23:00. Before that, we will watch a movie or something. Note that we will not provide dinner on friday afternoon. A table, chair power and the network will be taken care of. Note that this year it is possible to sleep. Don't forget your sleeping stuff! On sunday at 15:00 everybody will have to go home unfortunatly. |

| Description |
When in a traditional software project, multiple components are to be integrated into a single working product, things nearly always go wrong. Continuous Integration is an approach to avoid this problem entirely, by automatically building and integrating all components whenever a developer makes a change. This way, large amount of design documentation and review sessions can be avoided, freeing up more time for actually making working software.
To do Continuous Integration right, a team must think about their group process, about how to use source control effectively, about the design of their components, and about how to do (automated) testing. In this talk, Egbert Teeselink, a GEWIS alumnus, will discuss how we do Continuous Integration at Sioux Embedded Systems, how we have learned and benefited from it, what we think we could do better, and how you can start doing Continuous Integration as well. |
