Do you also miss "cozy game nights" with your family? Never played a board game that didn't end in a fight? Do you want to let out all your stress in a good game of 'mens erger je niet'? 

Then come to the FooBar on Jan. 30 starting at 5:30 p.m. to get frustrated again like in the good old days with your fellow students at the JeuCie frustration night. There will be board and card games and a special surprise game for more people, creating a lot more frustration in the nintendo theme. There will probably also be Chef's Guild food for max 5 euros.

Risen from the exam period, having defeated the last difficult assignments, there will still be
one more important task waiting for you: the mythical party of De Leidsche Flesch. Let the
drinks bring you to the dance floor, feel the magic that the music will offer you and be
captivated by the fun you will have with your friends! The party takes place on Monday 30
January at the legendary Next Leiden, 22:00-03:00. The doors will close at the stroke of
midnight, so make sure to be in time to complete your last task. A ticket costs 3 euros at the
presale. You can find us for this at various activities of De Leidsche Flesch. If you haven’t
been able to get a ticket there, you can still purchase a ticket at the door at the Next for 5
euros. Furthermore, if you make use of the cloakroom, this costs 2 euros. We hope to see
you soon!

Mythical greetings,

The party committee of DLF

p.s. The more mythical you are dressed, the better you fulfill your assignment.

Board 99 is back! From 1 to 3 February our darling successors are out of town, so we will be taking over for a while. Of course, that means nothing but fun, games and eating ice cream. The FK will be the place to be every single day and there will be lots to do. Everyone is welcome!

This evening will be a dedication to the board year of Plottwist and the epic activities of that year. This is why a handful of activities of board year 99 have been recreated to be experienced in one night, enabling you to enjoy an amazing and chaotic board year once again crammed in just one evening. With our wheel, the activities will be selected in a random way, leaving you on the edge of your toes. 

The activity will take place on Wednesday 1 February, starting around 18.00h in the FooBar. Aside of dinner, the activity will be free. See you then!

One of the biggest tragedies of last year is the cancellation of the First Years' Trip. Some cringey virus blocked us from making the trip, so that means we have to compensate in every way we can! On Friday 3 February, we will be heading to Naturalis from 13.15h in the afternoon 'till 16.00h in the afternoon. Travel will be together from the FK. We ask 8 euros per participant and you will be able to pay on the day itself. Will you be there?

Is committee work child's play for you? Are you motivated, involved with the association and are you looking for a new challenge next year? Then a board year may be just what you're looking for! On Tuesday Febuary 7 from 17:00 the Formation Committee is organising a Board Interest Evening in the FooBar where you can ask all of your questions to both current and former board members! At 19:00 the Formation Committee will hold a presentation  in one of the rooms behind the bar about the application process and the qualities that we are looking for. Current board members will also talk about their board functions and tasks!

If you want to visit the presentation you can eat with us beforehand (around 18:00) as there will be food from the Chef's Guild for a maximum of €4,-. You do not have to sign up for the food or the presentation, you can just show up. There are no obligations attached to being present at the Board Interest Evening, so we hope to see you there!

PS during the presentation you will get a coin for a free drink!

Why is it that we still write proofs in the exact same style as Newton did 350 years ago, despite all the progress that has been made in Mathematics? If you agree with Leslie Lamport, this can be done better, more modern and more rigorous. 

Known for being the initial developer of LaTeX, Leslie Lamport is also an expert on fields such as distributed systems, for which he received the Turing Award in 2013. For the past 20 years, he has been perfecting and modernizing the way we write proofs, in a way that is more akin to programming languages and is more fitting to the 21st century. 

Come discuss with us and Leslie Lamport how we can revolutionize mathematical proofs on wednesday night on February 8 in the Snellius building. We will watch a short lecture of his, after which we will get the opportunity to discuss with and ask questions to Leslie Lamport himself in a Q&A session. There will be food (5 euros max) from the Chef's Guild around 19:00 and the lecture will begin at 20:00.

🎵Call me when you want, call me when you need. Call me in the morning, I'll be on the way🎶 Who doesn't want to slide of a pole like lil Nas X did in Montero? You might get some weird looks because pole dancing has an image. This is not always justified as it is also a very intense sport! It demands a lot of strength and flexibility, but above all, it is very fun to do. Tag along for the Formorrow pole dance workshop on Friday February 10th. It is completely free and you will only gain a fun day. The clic will take place between 15.30 exactly and 16.30, after which you will have until 17.00 for some extra practice. Make sure you are present a little earlier in order to have time to change. There will be drinks after this, on which more information will be given later.

Note: don't wear clothing with sleeves that are too long, as that will make the pole dancing more difficult and may be too warm.

Apart from loads of awesome activities at de Leidsche Flesch that we all enjoy, all of us are also really passionate about physics, astronomy, mathematics and computer science. Enter Symposium. At Scheltema in the centre of Leiden it will be a day where you, together with your peers, teachers, alumni, will advance in a programme with interesting lectures and special speakers.

This week the first speakers were announced! Prof. dr. Vincent Icke, one the most famous dutch astronomers, and dr. Frits Veerman, a familiar face for Mathematics students Leiden and an expert in dynamical systems, the first two of the speakers to which we will listen on the fifteenth. The coming weeks the others will be announced. Do you want to be up-to-date? Follow us on instagram (@symposum_dlf ) for the updates.

Because of the 100th anniversary of the association, the symposium is completely paid for. So what stops you from signing up? Take your friends and all people that are interested with you; we will see you on the 15th of February.

Have you ever thought about a career in development? What about Salesforce development? A Salesforce developer is a special type of computer programmer who writes software on the Salesforce CRM platform or another piece of Salesforce cloud technology. This ranges from creating websites to developing apps. The workshop is a fantastic opportunity to see if this career path fits you! Plus you can enjoy food from the Cooking guild for a maximum of 4 euros! See you there!!

The workshop will take place from 18:00 in room 312 of the Snellius building. Bring your laptop with you.

Kopi? Kahawa? Kofe? What am I talking about? Find out at the Coffee Tasting and Language Cafe from the Masters Committee! Learning about coffee can feel like learning a new language, so we thought, why not do both at the same time?! The evening will start off with a coffee tasting and a presentation where you can learn all about the intricacies and nuances of coffee on our brand new coffee machines sponsored by Lime Technologies! Then, after dinner provided by the Cooking Guild, we will transition into the language cafe where you can share a foreign language you know with others, or join one of the tables to learn some language you don't know, and play some games, have a drink together, or both. The evening will end with a fun little quiz where we will test your multilinguinality.

The evening will take place in the FooBar, on Februari 22 at 18:00. Participation is free, but dinner is max 4 EUR.
