British Computer Society Is Officially At Civil War

Posted by kdawson on from the band-of-brothers-with-maces dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A vote of no confidence against the current board of directors has erupted in what is possibly the first nerd war, raging throughout the British Computer Society. More financial- and spreadsheet-related fixations and less computer science have made a few members cross; plus they don't like the new name 'The Chartered Institute of IT.' Here are more specific details on the extraordinary emergency general meeting on July 1, where members will vote to decide the fate of the board of directors."

    >> Officially at war would mean a deceleration of war.

    Slowing down of war - I like the sound of that.
