Hi Gary,
The CT-SPIN has open membership. Subscribing to our mailing list and
showing up is all it takes - though we may try and coerce you into
presenting!
I gather from Heinz's email that we'll have to wait a while for his
slides to become releasable, but our second speaker's (Nico de Wet)
slides, in addition to all those of previous meetings, are available
here (or will be shortly):
http://www.spin.org.za/meetings.html
To join the mailing list, send the usual
empty email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm looking forward to seeing you at the SPIN!
Kind regards,
Ben

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

[CTJUG Forum] Cape Town SPIN meeting on Java & UML - 18 January
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 our website:
