thanks to all who have helped us put together the event and supported in various ways even from a distance by contributing slides/talks/time/fund to make it happen (beside the names listed on the slides, i have received support from almost all colleagues as well). i believe the message has gone through to our students and will be propagated by them further
the final set of slides (with a little bit update as i missed 1.5 slides from frank at the talk, sorry for that) is available at

(you will be surprised by how many boxes of pizza we have consumed 😉
computer science course union (cscu) essentially came up the same idea and is willing to take over the helmet in the following years, and i believe they will do an even better job than us (as we all wish for our students)
thanks again. i am still thrilled by so many things our dept has to offer, but now it’s the time for me to catch up the research work again and reschedule some meetings missed this morning
