server rooms around campus and interesting labs in CSAIL.

## Introduction to SZS, the SMS to Zephyr Relay
-This service relays messages between [Zephyr](http://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/) and phones (which use SMS). In other words, you can send and receive text messages in Zephyr. For the short but slightly obsolete version of this documentation, see [http://webzephyr.mit.edu/szs.html](http://webzephyr.mit.edu/szs.html).

## Zephyr to SMS
-To send zephyrs to a phone address as an Athena user, use your favorite zephyr client (see [Using Zephyr](http://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/) if you're not sure what this means) to zwrite `daemon/webzephyr.mit.edu` with a class of `szs` and an instance of `1234567890@servicemail.foo`; for instance, in BarnOwl,

Hi imaginary friend, how are you doing? I'm sending you a text message through Zephyr.
### Screen
If you are going to regularly send and receive text messages using the BarnOwl client for Zephyr, you will probably want a BarnOwl instance running 24/7 so that whoever texts you won't encounter a `user not subscribed` error and so that your text message conversations don't disappear each time you quit BarnOwl.
-A good way to do this is to use screen and run it on the SIPB dialup machine, which allows you to run a BarnOwl session within screen on the SIPB dialup machine that's theoretically up 24/7 (sadly outages do occur). See [Using Screen](http://sipb-www.scripts.mit.edu/doc/wiki/UsingScreen) for more information; the basic idea is to `ssh` to `kusername@linux.mit.edu` and run `add kchen; owl-screen`, and in the future after `ssh`-ing to `kusername@linux.mit.edu` run `screen -dr`.

newcomers. A good description of this (and a more in-depth

To let people know you're using zephyr (and so you get
subscribers!) send a zephyr to `-c hello -i <your-username>`.
Zephyr is an underlying chat system; the built-in tools for exchanging messages via Zephyr are rudimentary. Most people who use Zephyr today take advantage of integrated clients that make the system easy to use.

#SIPB Hackathons

We hold a hackathon about one Saturday or Sunday a month in the SIPB
office. A hackathon is a great opportunity to get involved in a
-project or get people involved in your own. A recent hackathon, [[Hackasaurus Rex|hackathons/HackasaurusRex]], drew over 50 people to the office and spawned several exciting new projects. In the past, we have had hackathons such as our [Bug Squashathon](http://sipb-www.scripts.mit.edu/doc/wiki/LennyBugs), which was dedicated to

meetings (they're Mondays at 7:30PM) and at other times (check the door icon on
-[sipb.mit.edu](http://sipb.mit.edu/) to see if the office is open). (Coming to at least four meetings is required before you can be nominated for keyholding status, though usually this happens before members are otherwise ready to become a keyholder.)

You can also participate in SIPB activities like hackathons,
[cluedumps](http://cluedumps.mit.edu/), and [IAP
projects, homework, or anything else by providing an array of amenities:
* Nice chairs, big monitors, many computers, table space for laptops
