Northern Virginia Software Symposium, Reston, Va, April 27 - 29

The No Fluff Just Stuff Northern Virginia Software Symposium will be held April 27 - 29, 2012 in Reston, VA

This is an excellent conference which is great for finding forward-looking technology sessions, peer networking opportunities, peek into sofware you've heard and read about.

The speakers are top-notch and the vibe in the crowd is always refreshing.

No Fluff means there's no marketing hype.  Just Stuff means that there are always practical examples... speakers who code in front of the live audience.   Well worth the time spent! and it is relatively inexpensive compared to other training opportunities.

Retrospect of Our January 2012 Meeting

I'd like to thank Austin White and TEKSystems again for their generous support of our January 2012 meeting. 

We held our steering committee meeting prior to the general meeting. 

  • James Rhoades is our new Sponsor Coordinator.
  • Tim Stone accepted our invitation to join the RJUG Steering Committee and will represent ACF Ironworks.
  • We seriously need a Secretary. If you can help in that capacity please contact us. 
  • We also could use our members help in getting speakers for the 2012 calendar and also generating ideas of what interest areas we should pursue.

TEKSystems brought out an awesome spread of Panera sandwitches, salad and cookies.
