GeekSoc is a long running club at the University of Strathclyde that focuses on computing, the surrounding technology, and gaming. Although the official society of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, membership is open to all and we welcome members from a wide variety of subjects.

We run several computing services both for our members and the general public in order to to provide an environment for experimentation and learning. Whether you have never touched a command line in your life, or are a long time linux user who would like a chance to help administer a large multiuser network, GeekSoc has many opportunities to broaden horizons.

We also organise social events, including gaming events and technical talks, where you can come along and meet others who share similar interests.

Membership:
