Four Year Bus
H.2215 (Ferrer) | Day 2 | 09:20 - 09:35 | Speakers: Ruán Murgatroyd
Abstract
CS++ is an entirely-led student computer science society in TU Dublin. Our goal is to give our members experiences and skills they won't get in class, this includes going to FOSDEM!
Ontop of that, CS++ maintains a cluster of servers that runs services for themselves and several other societies in the university. Which we have to maintain even though students are in university for only four years.
This Four Year Bus talk covers how we went from an empty room to our current tech stack, as well as how we manage training, handover and long-term planning when everyone involved has a timer until they are hit by a bus.
