Hello there!
As you might have noticed, we’ve updated the look of our website! It’s nothing fancy with flying colours and everything. But it’s clean, simple and quite readable. We hope you enjoy it!
We still believe there is room for improvement,so if you have some feedback, big or small, please let us know at hackers@msvincognito.nl!
– The Incognito hacKErs committee
P.S.
Since some of you might have never seen the old website, just for comparison:
On Tuesday August 27th, the Department of Knowledge Engineering organises an introduction day to help you become acquainted with the department and several university services. Incognito will take care of the second part of this day, in which you will get to know the city of Maastricht and the most relevant (university) buildings a bit better. Also, Incognito will organise a barbeque in our faculty garden for all first year students, free of charge!
Location: Bouillonstraat 8-10, Maastricht.
It’s almost the end of the year and that means that it’s time for the annual OMGWTFBBQ! And guess what: you’re all invited!
The barbecue will start at 17:00 and it will last until 21:00. The food will cost €5, the drinks will be €1,25 and it takes place at the faculty. Please let us know if there is something you don’t eat.
To register, send an email to aktie@msvincognito.nl (Also include any food preferences), BEFORE Friday, June 14th at 23:59!! We still have to arrange enough food, which takes time.
If you do not sign up, there won’t be any food for you!
We hope to see you there!

On this educational yet informal evening, PhD student Michael Clerx will enlighten us with a talk about
– using Python + generated C to run simulations fast and
– general purpose GPU programming on mobile devices
both in a computational biology context.
If you ever wanted to talk to a PhD student or Professor in a more informal sfere, or want to know more about the research being done at DKE then this is your chance!
The Incognito Business Day is a day that will focus on showing the students of DKE what their possibilities are after their studies. Representatives of 3 companies will give presentations about their companies and jobs.
This year the 3 companies will be:
AQUIMA: http://www.aquima.com/
KPMG: http://www.kpmg.com/
IBM: http://www.ibm.nl/
There will also be a presentation of PhD’s of DKE about their research.
Furthermore, there will also an Information Market, where students can personally ask questions to all these representatives
Lunch, drinks and dinner will all be provided.
Incognito strongly encourages all students to be there, since this is a perfect oppertunity to get insights in your own future!

AEGEE-Maastricht & study association Incognito present a karaoke evening together!
It was a dark day Oktober the 3th of this year, despite the joyous occasion of our constitution. We, the XXIVth board of AEGEE-Maastricht failed to secure our presents and it was only thanks to the valiant efforts of MSV Incognito that they managed to keep it safe for us.
To reward the members of incognito for these efforts, and in the hope the members of both our associations can bond we decided to organise this evening for you.
So join up! (if you’re too scared to sing you are allowed to sit quietly in a corner – until you gathered some dutch courage)
The event takes place in the room UPSTAIRS at de Twee Heeren, the stairs are somewhat hidden so ask at the bar if you cannot find them.
Incognito is organising a cantus this year 🙂 (If you don’t know what a cantus is, it’s mostly drinking beer and singing songs ;))

What’s that sound up on the roof?! Is it a burglar? A horse?
NO! It is Sinterklaas and his helpers!
Sinterklaas is a Dutch tradition. Children believe that an old saint, named Sinterklaas, and his helpers, Zwarte Pieten, walk on the roofs of houses, going through the chimney and putting gifts in every kid’s shoe at December 5th. These shoes are placed by the fireplace the night before, with some treats for Sinterklaas’ horse and a drawing for Sinterklaas.
Since there is a fireplace in our common room, we’re going to find out if Sinterklaas visits students as well!
If you want to join, please send an email to aktie@msvincognito.nl with the subject Sinterklaas. You’ll get an email back with information about when and how you can place your shoe, which will be on December 5th. And then on December 6th you can recover your shoe and gift.
It will cost you 5 euros and you have to make a drawing or poem to put in your shoe for Sinterklaas!
We hope you will join us in this awesome Dutch tradition 🙂
