AG DSN

On 2025-12-16 at 7pm the next General Assembly of AG DSN will take place online.

We will vote on a budget for 2026.

Members of AG DSN can find the full details and agenda in the invitation, but unfortunately only in German.

It's almost Christmas again! Unfortunately, there will be no traditional members' barbecue this year. But instead of a barbecue, there will be a mulled wine session.

What does that mean? There will be... - Mulled wine - Christmas candy - Waffles - a Christmas playlist

Where does it take place? At the AG DSN office at Wundtstraße 5.

When does it start? On 27.11.25 from 6 pm we will be serving up!

We look forward to seeing you, so come along!

Your Team Festivities of the AG DSN

It's getting spooky — Halloween is soon! The AG DSN wants to revive the traditional AG activity of carving jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween. We invite all of you to our office at Borsbergstraße 34 on 30 October from around 7pm to 10pm for some pumpkin carving. We will make pumpkin soup from the leftover pumpkin and there will be snacks available too. If you can, please bring something for the pumpkin carving. We will also offer support to members at the time, so if you have any technical questions, please bring them along. See you there!

Dear Members, now that we have an additional member in our Supportteam, we can reopen some of our office hours.

The Office Wundtstraße 5 stays open Mondays and in even calendar weeks Thursdays.
The Office Hochschulstraße 50 will be open again Mondays and Thursdays.
The Office Borsbergstraße 34 will now be open on every Thursday.
The Hotline stays available on Mondays and Thursdays.

All opening/availability times are from 7 PM to 8 PM. An overview of all our office hours is available under Contact.

These Changes will take effect on 2025-10-13

If you would like to support us in this, feel free to visit us at one of our meetings or send us an e-mail.

On 15.10.2025 at 6PM the next general assembly of the AG DSN will take place.

Topics of the assembly are the discharge of the old board, the election of a new board, the approval of two supplementary budgets, and the adjustment of our membership fee regulations.

Full details of the meeting, including the agenda, are available to members in the invitation.

Dear Members, MPSK WiFi client management is now available in your Usersuite. Now you can set up devices that do not support WPA Enterprise such as PS4, PS5, Smat TVs and other IoT devices. This is another step forward in eliminating the need for routers and making the wireless network faster for all users.

Future information: WLAN.

It's now possible to log in devices that don't support WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise via the WiFi called agdsn-mpsk. For this, the device needs to be activated by us. The best way to do this is to send an e-mail with the device's Wi-Fi MAC address to our Support or visit us in our office.

On 2024-12-04 at 7pm the next General Assembly of AG DSN will take place online.

We will vote on a budget for 2025, as well as an amendment to our articles of association, our team regulations and our contribution regulations.

Members of AG DSN can find the full details and agenda in the invitation, but unfortunately only in German.

On 16.10.2024 at 7PM the next general assembly of the AG DSN will take place.

Topic of the meeting is the election of a new executive board.

Full details of the meeting, including the agenda, are available to members in the invitation.

Just like last month, we'll report a few interesting events that happened to us. In case you missed the last post, you can read it here: https://agdsn.de/sipa/news/2024-05-01-april-at-agdsn

On 7th of May, after a meeting of our "Team Network", people sat down to update the software of our old core router. As you hopefully haven't noticed, no problems occured. Thanks to the fact we've migrated our uplink to the new core routers on March 16th, this've been much more relaxed than it would have before.

Some technical details: the old core router consists of three physical devices, united to to a single logical one. Therefore it's name, "Ianus". Each of the three devices is a FlexFabric 5900 from HPE.

The new routers are a group of three Omniswitch 6900-V72 from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, they remain seperated logically though.

We didn't only maintain our technical connections but also our social ones. For that purpose we held our "Jahresessen" (annual dinner) on 29th of May. Just like in past years, we've had vivid discussions with people doing research and teaching at TU Dresden, the Studentenwerk, the "Zentrum für Informationsdienste und Hochleistungsrechnen der TU Dresden (ZIH)" as well as with companies we are in contact with, e.g. for procurement of network hardware.

Last but not least, an addendum to last months post: as we received reports about issues with the WLAN coverage, we've installed one more wireless access point manufactured by Aruba in five levels of the International Guest House on the 24th of April.

And that's the end of this months post! You're in the mood organising our next Jahresessen or other events? Join our Team Festivities! Take a look at https://agdsn.de/sipa/meetingcal for the next meetings. Any questions left? Write an email to du-bist-gefragt@agdsn.de.
