If you are familiar with the old look of the Seattle chapter of the IEEE Computer Society, you may notice that things have changed around a bit. We are not quite done yet either. Some old content (mostly old meeting notices and some presentation files) still need to be imported. There is a good chance that the layout will change and new sections get added or removed.

However, the move to wordpress as the underlying platform of this site will make change, customization, etc. much easier for us.

I am optimistic about a number of interesting chapter activities in the coming months. Hopefully this site will do well in supporting those efforts. Please subscribe to our syndication feed or check back often to see what’s going on.
