Society and technology

The society and technology interest group (soctech) is an informal interest group that we are starting up among UW-CSE students to promote awareness of various social computing issues, both in CSE and the UW.

We're just getting started; we have a mailing list, soctech@cs. Here's the public list info page.

Given that we're trying (among other things) to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration, a CSE NetID protected server is probably not the right place for the soctech wiki in the long run. I'm looking into getting a more publicly accessible space. In the meantime we can use this space for notes. ~keunwoo
