CUSEC 2006

If so, take a look at the Ruby on Rails Podcast and hear about it from two of the CUSEC keynotes - David Heinemeier Hansson and Chad Fowler.

This month’s Newsletter free ticket to CUSEC 2006 goes to Craig Wilson, from McMaster University - congratulations Craig! If you too would like a chance to win a free ticket, then sign up to the mailing list and watch for the Newsletter. Signing up to the mailing list also lets you get in touch with many of the people attending and organising CUSEC.

I am pleased to announce another keynote for CUSEC 2006, Chad Fowler. Chad is the Lead Developer with Naviance, co-founder of Ruby Central, author of “My Job Went To India”, and a former professional musician.

If you are into anything from engineering applications to the arts, I’m sure he will be yet another interesting person to meet and speak with at CUSEC 2006. Yet another great reason to register and attend!

Check out Chad and the other keynotes’ bios and abstracts here.

The title says it all! Are you excited? I know I am!

The best sales people for CUSEC are the people who have previously attended the conference and are looking back to coming back.

Here is what Karen Widish that head delegate for Carleton University has to say about CUSEC:

My name is Karen Widish and I am in 4th year Software Engineering at Carleton University. This will be my third year attending CUSEC, and last year Carleton hosted CUSEC. Thanks again to everyone who came out to the first time CUSEC was held outside of Montreal. It was a stressful month, so I am glad to hear mostly good things about the event.

I am currently on my last co-op work-term before starting 4th year. I am working as an RA for the school of architecture here at Carleton. I feel CUSEC is an awesome event, and a must for any software engineering student. To us here at Carleton it is the main event our
society plans for, as we see it as a way to meet students at our own school as well as schools across Canada. Best line to get the first years involved, “you will learn more at CUSEC in 3 days than your entire 1st year”.

It will be great to be apart of CUSEC’s 5th anniversary,

I look forward to seeing you there Karen!
