What do you guys do??

A question that commonly comes up is "what does the computer club do?" We've never found a concise answer to that, but the following is a repository of various attempts.

A description

The computer club offers the opportunity to tinker with unique hardware, promote open source development and advocacy, and hack on interesting programming projects, while offering a variety of useful services to the campus community. Among other services, we run the contributed webserver (supporting CGI scripts and SQL database access), a USENET server, and an open source FTP mirror. We have our own machine room and a well-developed infrastructure for which we are always seeking new ideas for expansion.
