About Us
Interface is the VUW computer club.
The club provides computing resources to members, including a wireless network (SWANS), and accounts on a Linux server on campus for development, small websites, etc.. These systems were built and are maintained by members of the club. We also provide various services to the university community, such as a forum where students can get help with the university's wireless network (WirelessVic), an on-campus IRC server (irc.interface.org.nz or just interface.org.nz) and pastebin (http://paste.interface.org.nz/), and services for other clubs. We have an interest in advocacy issues on university IT policy, as well as providing a library of computing resources to members (distribution and recovery disks, various books on languages and systems).
Join Interface
We are run by the Interface executive committee. If you are interested in becoming a member of Interface, please see Membership.
Regular Events
We have weekly social meetings every Wednesday from 6:00 pm in CO 350. Apart from occasional exec. meetings, our weekly meetings are very informal and provide an opportunity for members to eat, chat and help each other with any computer problems they might have. There is sometimes a group order of pizza, this is organised via the MeetingsWithPizzaz wiki page. Members and non-members alike are welcome to attend.
We have occasionally invited speakers to talk on a range of topics. Many members are involved in a range of computing activities outside of the university, and the club is a good way of exchanging information and ideas.
We also run various special events, such as talks by various speakers and installfests where we help people to install GNU/Linux.
For a list of upcoming events, see the Events page.
