July events in Ann Arbor

Some on schedule, some on holiday delay

First, who IS meeting.  Then, who ISN'T.

The Michigan Python User Group is forging ahead with a meeting this week.  On Thursday, July 5, MichiPUG will meet at Arbor Networks, where Mark Ramm will talk about what to look for in TurboGears 2.0 (unreleased and in progress).  Hint: there was a sprint that involved Pylons a few weeks ago in Atlanta, and Mark was involved.  The meeting starts at 7:00.  Arbor Networks is at 220 E. Huron in the City Center Building in Ann Arbor (6th floor).

Now, who ISN'T meeting this week:

The Ann Arbor Java User Group meeting, usually held the first Tuesday, has been postponed so that everyone can head out to the fireworks tonight.  I hear that there will be some in Dexter!  I think that there will be an AAJUG meeting next Tuesday (10th); will advise when I get word.

The Ann Arbor Computer Society is also on holiday delay.  They will be holding a joint meeting with the Ann Arbor Dot Net Developers Group (AADND) on Wednesday, July 11, at the Ann Arbor SPARK (330 E. Liberty, lower level).  It will be an interesting talk, I think.  Bill Wagner (yes, my business partner) is talking on Generics, and what you can do with them in addition to using them in collections.  The meeting starts at 6 pm!

And, a SAVE THE DATE notice.

In August, AACS and MichiPUG will have a joint meeting on Thursday, August 2 at 6 pm at the Google offices in Ann Arbor.  Google is sponsoring a Tech Talk.  Seating will be limited,, so registration will be required.  Registration will open on 7/13.  Stay tuned, but definitely save the date!

Our very own Patrick Steele joins Compuware Speakers at Technical Seminar Series

May 17, 2007 at 5:30 pm

SRT Solutions' consultant Patrick Steele joins Brian Cassista and James Brown to speak at Compuware.  Compuware is holding an evening networking/technical seminar event on May 17 starting at 5:30 pm.  I would love to attend Patrick's talk, "Taking Advantage of Generics in .NET", but I think that I will be headed over to James' talk on Dependency Injection and Spring instead.  If neither of those suits your fancy, then the Brian's talk on Project Management and Continuous Integration also sounds great.  I just wish I could be in three places at one time!

5:30-6:30 is for networking and hors d'oeuvres, compliments of Compuware.  The 3 parallel sessions will start at about 6:30 and go for an hour, with an hour of questions and answers following.

The event is free, and you can sign up (by May 14) by emailing Mary Johnson or calling (313) 227-7729.  More information can be found at Compuware.

I think it's going to be a great event.  I'm really looking forward to it.
