Abstract
On Thursday, January 10th, 2008, from 6:00pm-8:30pm, representatives of local chapters of professional and technical societies involved with software and systems development in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. We will be gathering the Northrop Grumman "S-Cafe" off Marine Ave, between Aviation Blvd and Redondo Beach Ave in Redondo Beach, CA. This gathering is for general members, event coordinators, and officers of local chapters of professional or technical societies in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County area. The congress will feature various local chapters of professional and technical societies presenting their groups, events, and opportunities for involvement. The event will consist of refreshments, social and networking time, short (10 minute) presentations by various local chapters about their events, and tables for the chapters to distribute information about their group and events.
A complete list of chapters confirmed will be on the SSCC webpage (http://robotics.usc.edu/~dlatimer/SSCC), but will include the Southern California Software Process Improvement Network, the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Coastal Los Angeles Section, the Los Angeles Chapters of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Society for Women Engineers (SWE), the Data Management Association (DAMA). These groups and others will be presenting their calendar of upcoming events and looking to partner up to host larger events in the local area.
So, if you are an officer of a group who wants to get the word out, a member who straddles multiple groups and wants to see a joint event, or are generally interested in learning more about software and systems chapters in Los Angeles and Orange County, please feel free to attend. RSVP is not required, but a quick email to SSCCLAOC@gmail.com will help us ensure sufficient refreshments.
If you wish to receive email flyers of future meetings please send a blank email, with a subject line of "subscribe" to: spin@uces.csulb.edu
