Of students & jobs..
Of students, here's the list of the new recruits we've had this academic session.
http://www.ramjasrkp.com/dynamix/recList.htm
Now we must get them to attend meetings and give them jobs, and classify them to the various departments.
We need to have specialized depts. which will be responsible for all activities in their field of work. E.g.: Programming dept shall be responsible for organizing logic-tests in the classes to harvest brains, shall create the question papers for DynamiX event, etc. The WebD dept. shall maintain the Ramjas + DynamiX site + maintain & update Dynamix Notes. And so on..
Essentially, the tasks before us are:
i) Organize DynamiX 2005
ii) Hold a logic test (written) for classes 8-11 to select budding programmers. We shall give them a solid foundation of programming & concepts quickly, and then teach them advanced stuff & algos.
iii) The Gaming dept shall then select the most talented gamers recognized due to FragFest and make them join the Gaming dept.
iv) The Quiz dept. shall try to convince the school to get a copy of H2G2 to the library, and shall conduct short written tests for all members of the Quiz dept. The tests will be like: The short test (of say 20 qns) is given to all members. The paper shall not be tailor-made, and its fine even if no one answers any anything. Then the people shall take the paper home, try to get info & read up on the questions & related stuff and in a few weeks time, there'll be another test, which shall contain exactly the same paper, so that they'll get to revise that, and another new paper. Same sequence follows as long as possible. We need to start training quizzers from junior classes, say 7th. Right now, we have membership from class 9 onwards. Obviously, next year the current 9th batch becomes senior, so we need to take a look at our 8th too.
v) Allot each member a project in his field of interest/expertize. The students have to select one themselves, and can ask a senior member to mentor him/her. All students have to do a project, and are supposed to submit it by the end of Sept. The projects form a very important basis on their selection for the higher levels.
These things shall be discussed in the next meeting, on Wednesday. I & Roshan & Som shall most probably not be present in that, or will be there for only a few minutes, so I want someone to take responsibility of telling the students this thing. The reason I posted the list of students is because all these students are to be contacted and asked to attend that meeting. Someone should chair that meeting. I will be absent tomorrow. Comments please.

I dont know about h2g2, I tried finding some info on it and didnt intrest me much.
if u are looking for quiz espicially computers, I would suggest all of ur members go and try trivial.net, Its an amzing site with amazing questions :)..
I bet it rox
I will be coming on Wednesday. I will be presiding the meeting.
Thanks for that Ayush.
Varun, the reason for my recommending H2G2 is i) Its simply a great book
ii) It helps you get some free points in several quizzes. Like if someone asks a question like "What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, universe & everything?", anyone who hasn't read H2G2 would be completely stumped. Those who have, wouldn't even have second thoughts while writing 42. I know that no one should force anyone to read a specific book, but since I have a lot of experience in quizzing, I can tell that one thing that has the maximum probability of appearing as a prelim question is a H2G2 based question. It might not be right to give book-specific questions.. people might argue that its as bad as giving Matrix-based questions in a comp quiz (there is a difference though). Yet, as the situation stands, my recommendation stands too.
hmm, I guess its okay then but just for the sake of competitions it isnt good idea, it be better if each of DX member who has internet could give atleast 1 test perday. that would be just fantastic.
But tough to create such tests.
not at all,
its very simple, did u try giving 1 test in trivial.net
it takes like 5 mins and contains 10 questions per test,
while creating u need to copy/paste, whats so big deal in putting em?
Hey tell me one thing. Is this list final ?
I mean are all the students of the list are selected members of Dynamix club.
And one more thing . Can we have a more structured list . I mean dividing the students into levels(L1,L2,L3) and their departments .
OK, the new list with the Levels are uploaded. As for the departments, I'll be making another post, since I don't have the classification yet. Very few have selected a group till now.
Thanks for updating the list .
Very soon we shud get our departments ready .
Dont you think ?
