The Ropes

Welcome to the DReaM group! This page contains the essential information for those new to the dream group with some essential things to know about and do. The DReaM group is part of CISA, in the school of Informatics.

Social

Every Thursday at 14:00 we attend a DReaM talk where a member of the group presents some ideas. These are informal talks and a great venue for getting feedback on ideas. It is suggested to prepare 10 minutes of material and the group take the rest of the hour and bit asking questions and discussing issues.

Before this, we go for lunch at 12:30, meeting at the ground floor of the foyer of the Forum.

Sometimes we arrange outings and dinners too. You should be on the email lists below to make sure you get the announcements.

Email lists

There are 3 email lists you need to sign yourself up for - this involves going to each of the following webpages and entering your email address and clicking the signup button, this will send you an email which contains a link you need to click on to complete registration. You will be sent a password reminder once a month. The lists are:

Shared Computing Environment

The dream group has a shared computing environment on top of the DICE system used by all of informatics. To get access to this, you need to fill out a support form (informatics uses its own security certificate, accept and add this when asked), asking to be added to the unix and AFS group "dreamers". Our environment includes a shared filespace with various tools we all use to make our lives easier and more efficient. In particular, note that we have a shared bibtex which contains useful paper as well as our own paper - make sure you help keep it up to date.

Shared Webserver

We have a shared dream group webserver (you're looking at it!) should make your project a webpage here with at least the name of the project a brief outline and who is involved.
