Getting Involved

As a volunteer-run service, we are always looking for more people to help us help students!

Graphic for Getting Involved

Joining CTF

If you are interested in contributing to the organisation, drop by the office (Burnside Hall 1B19) or email us to express your interest!

You will become a probationary member and asked to contribute to a CTF project, after which you can be voted into permanent membership.

What do members do?

Members participate in CTF by helping provide and maintain the services that CTF offers to students. All members are asked to be present in the office on occasion and to help students with printing. However, involvement in other projects is also sufficient for maintaining membership.

Current projects include:

  • Recruitment
  • Internal/External Event Planning
  • GPU Cluster: Building a platform for students to execute machine learning workloads
  • Maintaining Hardware:
    • Computer Labs and Laptops
    • Updating Computers and Linux Imaging
  • Governance
  • Updating our Website
  • Hosting Elections for Student Groups
  • Maintaining and Updating TEPID
  • Improving our Applications and Services

Internal Events

If coding isn’t your thing, an important part of our organisation is the events team, which plans a variety of events, both external and internal. Common social events include picnics on the mountain, games nights, food excursions, and karaoke nights.

We also have a semesterly “Hackathon” that we ask all members to attend where we work on some of the many ongoing projects at CTF, eat pizza, and have an overall lovely time.
