CompSoc is the University of Edinburgh's main student computing society and operates primary from the School of Informatics.
Tardis has had quite strong connections with CompSoc over the years and a number of former CompSoc committee members and students have ended up in Tardis. Although Tardis and CompSoc both have a lot in common, being the two big computing groups on campus, they serve different and complimentary roles in the University community.
Hosting
Tardis provides CompSoc with a number of services. To facilitate this, compsoc have a virtual machine called magnus running on oracle.
Mailing List
CompSoc previously had a mailing list on the lists_service but it appears to be deactivated at the moment.
Interwiki Link
CompSoc have their own wiki which covers some more student oriented material.
You can link to articles in the Wiki by prefixing a link with
compsoc
. For example:
<nowiki>[[compsoc:Tardis]]</nowiki>produces [[compsoc_tardis]], a link to the equivalent page on the CompSoc wiki.
