The programmes for earlier years are shown here, so that you can see what kind of subjects we cover, and as a resource for other branches to get information and contacts for building their own programmes.

2004 - 2005

Out of many interesting activities and events, the highlights were probably:

• Neil Barrett's talk in September on Computer Forensics
• The Open Source debate, held jointly with the Oxford University Computer Society, and
• The visit to the Socience Museum's Large Objects Storage Facility at Wroughton, and not forgetting the
• 2005 Oxfordshire Schools Web competition

2003 - 2004

The year's programme covered a wide range of subjects:

• Historical - with Chris Burton's talk on rebuilding "Baby", a visit to Bletchley Park, and the British Library's part in the project to create a historical archive of the web
• Reports on succesful implementation of high-performance and highly available solutions at BACS and Wimbledon
• New Technology in theory and practice with talks on Naked Objects, Quantum Computing and the Christmas lecture on experiments in artificial intelligence.

Attendance at the "Meet the committee" evenings was down over last year. We having a rethink before running them again. And we have noticed a correlation between attendances at meetings and term-time. For future years we will try to tweak the meeting dates to avoid the university vac where possible.

This year bought the committee new challenges, with the wish to have a themed program, but also to follow 'hot' topics.

2000 - 2001 : The Wired World

The 2000 - 2001 calendar followed a loose programme entitled 'The Wired World'. This program was planned to cover the topics of how the Internet is now in every part of our lives, and the way that information is key to the way we work. The presentations covered e-commerce, WAP, Internet Voting and more.

2000-2001 meeting programme

1999 - 2000

The 1999 program did not follow a particular topic area, except to give a wide coverage of current 'hot' topics.
