Welcome Freshmen! -
The Harvard Computer Society has been a "driving force" in the development and deployment of computers at Harvard since well before the fall of the Soviet Union (or the very least, we've met weekly to talk about computers and technology and eat pizza since at least 1983). We do whatever we're interested in (and, by proxy, whatever you're interested in, if you join us) but we have a number of ongoing and currently active projects that tend to consume our time.

A discussion with Scott Bradner -
HCS is proud to be hosting Scott Bradner, the University Technology Security Officer at Harvard. He'll be talking to us about security and privacy at Harvard and beyond, about his work with ARIN, IETF, and the Internet Society, and about the early days of building the Internet. Hopefully, he'll share some stories from the early days of HCS, too - he was one of our early advisors. If you want to know about how the internet is governed, how new technologies are being integrated at Harvard, or just want to hear about the state of security at Harvard, join us!

Harvard NOC Tour! -
We'll be visiting the Network Operations Center (NOC) at UIS's 60 Oxford St. facility, courtesy of Harvard's Network Manager Jay Tumas. Harvard's network is huge and serves a large number of people. Plus, Harvard is very closely involved with several big external projects, such as Internet2 and even the IETF. Plus, how can you turn down the opportunity to see a cold-war style operations center with screens on the wall, flashing maps, alarms when things go wrong. . .
