time to go partake in the extra fun Dec/5 has organised for us!

If you have no idea what’s going on:

SIGBOVIK is an evening of tongue-in-cheek academic presentations. If we
have a goal, it’s to poke fun at our fields and provide a venue for
silly ideas with (often but not always) serious executions. SIGBOVIK has
both a published proceedings and live talks, and everyone is welcome to
participate in either or both of these. All subjects are welcome,
although be advised that the primary audience is computer scientists.
The best way to get a feel for SIGBOVIK is to look at our past
proceedings, which you can find at http://sigbovik.org .
