Hi Sridhar and SLUGers,
Video of the Open 2020 talks is now available at
<http://tomw.net.au/moodle/course/view.php?id=9>
Sitting around watching Videos at a SLUG meeting might not be what you are
after...
and the files are pretty big MPEG4 but the content might be of interest.
The submission to the main 2020 conference is now available here
<http://tomw.net.au/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=199>
Lastly, I am interested in thoughts (to the list or offlist) of the specific
role/contribution/responsibilities of various disciplines/professions in the
governance of ICT.
One of the difficulties with the Governance of ICT
is to engage the right skills and knowledge, at the right time.
What has also emerged, is that the risk management approach
is flawed in that it does not allow for uncertainty (1) and ignorance (2).
The Australian Standard(3), identifies a wide range of advisors :-
*Senior Managers,
*Members of Groups mnitoring the resources within the organization
*External business or technical specialists, such as legal or accounting
specialist, retail assocations, or professinal bodies.
*Vendors of hardware, software, communications and other ICT products.
*Internal and external service providers (including consultants)
*ICT Auditors
I will provide a summary of the results on the
Ramin Communications Website and be
using them in my paper to ET GOVICT2008 (4)

Hello SLUGgers!
We are in need of speaking talent for our SLUG meetings. Our next meeting is
on May 2 (announcement below), but we don't yet have anyone to present. If
you have something that you'd like to talk about, let us know.
This goes for any meeting, not just for the next one. You can generally assume
that our meetings are on the last Friday of each month (barring December).
For more information on speaking at SLUG, please see these resources:

Thanks!

When:

NOTE: Due to a clash with ANZAC Day, the April SLUG meeting has been deferred
by one week to 2 May. The official May meeting will not be affected.
We start at 18:30 but we ask that people arrive 15 minutes early so we can all
get into the building and start on time. Please do not arrive before 18:00,
as it may hinder business activities for our host!
Appropriate signage and directions will be posted on the building.
Where:
Atlassian[0], 173-185 Sussex Street, Sydney
(corner of Sussex and Market Street)
Entry is via the rear on Slip Street. There are stairs going down along the
outside of building from Sussex St to near the entrance. A map of the area
and directions can be found here[1].

Dinner is at Golden Harbour Restaurant, in Chinatown. We will be having the
$24 Banquet[3], but we will be collecting $25 per head for ease of accounting
and to cover a tip. We will be taking numbers during the break to confirm the
reservation size. If you have any particular dietary requirements (e.g.
vegetarian), or if you would prefer to order separately, let us know
beforehand. Dinner is a great way to socialise and learn in a relaxed
atmosphere :)
We hope to see you there!
