Hi
Gary,
it
would be great to have a new representative of UCT CS. That Irish PhD
student I think was part of initiating SPIN, but he has gone back to
Ireland now.
I
might present my talk at the CTJUG as well - depends if there is sufficient
interest? The slides will become available after March, once I've
presented the talk at TheServerSide Java Symposium.
By the
way, there is another talk that I will be presenting, called "Java Specialists
in Action". I don't mind presenting both of the talks at CTJUG in the next
few weeks, just not on the same day.
Kind regards from
Heinz

I recently got this notification for
the SPIN meeting on Wednesday this week. Unfortunately I was unable to
attend, but was very interested in the topics discussed and am interested in
joining your group.
So I was wondering if you had any documentation
from the talks on Wednesday (handouts, slides, etc.) and if there is any cost
to joining the SPIN initiative.
Thanking you.
Gary Stewart

Dear Software
Professional,
The Cape Town SPIN (Software Process Improvement
Network) is having its first meeting of the year tomorrow (Wednesday, 18
January) at our new venue - the CITI Bandwidth Barn at
125 Buitengracht Street, Cape Town.
The year will certainly start on a high note with two expert speakers
presenting. There is even going to be food and refreshments!
Our
first speaker will be Dr. Heinz Kabutz, a recognized Java expert who was
recently honored by being awarded the coveted title "Sun Java Champion" by
Sun Microsystems. The topic of his talk is Productive
Coder.
Our second speaker
will be Nico de Wet. Nico has worked in a number of academic, research and
commercial environments and will share his expertise on UML 2.0 with us. His
talk is entitled Slow Start Modeling in the
Java World - Low Risk Beginnings using UML.
More details on the
meeting, including the agenda, abstracts and biographies, can be found on
