CUSEC 2006

First Presentation Went Live!

John Kopanas — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 02:09:50 +0000

We have created a new website just for the audio version of the presentations that were given at CUSEC. Presentations are going to be released on a a weekly basis. We are not going to announce the release of each presentation but we are very happy to announce the first one .

Head over to SOENlive and listen to Chad Fowler’s second keyonte presentation entitled “Rails is Boring and Ruby is a Toy”.

While you are there make sure to subscribe to SOENlive’s rss feed to be notified when the next presentations are going to be released.

On another note, we launcehd a parent site for CUSEC that will maintain the archives of presentations. Visit CUSEC.net.

Spread the word my friends!

Many Things Coming Out Of CUSEC Camp

John Kopanas — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 17:39:01 +0000

So we have been hard at work doing some, at least what I think to be, great things.

SOENlive has been released to the world. On this site we will be releasing the audio of the majority of presentations that were given at CUSEC 2006… and hopefully previous CUSEC’s if I can find some of the recordings. We will also be trying to get some more content on SOENlive through out the year for you. Sign up the RSS Feed for SOENlive while you are there.

CUSEC has a new home on the internet. We forgot we owned CUSEC.net. My fault. I own over fifty domains and CUSEC.net must of just fallen through the cracks. CUSEC.net will be the website that promotes CUSEC and maintains CUSEC’s archive of presentations. Each CUSEC year though will also have there own website as well.

Again we are still looking for people to help out with CUSEC 2007. The team is already at 10 people but there are positions that still have not been filled. Get into contact with us via CUSEC.net.

Thank you

On behalf of the CUSEC team, I just wanted to say a big thank you. Thank you for helping make CUSEC 2006 such a huge success!

There was so much that went on during this three day event - enlightening keynotes, a brand new Career Fair, corporate presentations, academic and paper presentations, panel discussion, and not to mention the crazy parties at night!

We hope that you guys had as much fun at the conference as we had organizing it.

Sincerely,
CUSEC 2006 team

I say your because it for you and by you. So head on over and learn something new, then contribute a link to an article, book, review, paper, podcast… that you think needs to be indexed for others who will find it interesting and can advance their knowledge of Software Engineering.

Registration F.A.Q.

Nadia Chaouch — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 22:47:23 +0000

Registration for CUSEC is picking up fast! For all those who haven’t registered yet, what are you waiting for? Since we’re all out of the holiday break now is a great time to take a few minutes to register. Registration will only take a minute or two and then you can pat yourself on the back for not procrastinating any longer and taking advantage of the Early Registration price (it finishes Jan 1st).

I have received a few questions about registration and have answered the more popular ones on the website. Take a look at the Registration F.A.Q.

Where to stay?

Mark Pavlidis — Mon, 19 Dec 2005 04:13:25 +0000

Thanks to the head delegate of McGill, Jonathan Li On Wing, for getting us a good deal at the Quality Hotel Downtown Montreal. All of the delegations including the organizing team is going to be staying there.

The hotel is 5-6 blocks from the Omni Hotel, where we are going to be hosting the conference, but it is $30 cheaper a night then the Omni. The price per night is $99, if you share it with 4 people per night then it is a pretty fair price. Very good at least for Downtown Montreal’s standards. (Keynote presenters though will be staying at the Omni. We can’t be cheap with them.)

Quality Hotel Downtown Montreal

514.849.1413 <- to make reservations

Discount code: CUSEC <- to get a special price but the deadline is December 25th for the rate of $99/night

Where are you coming from?

Mark Pavlidis — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 08:10:21 +0000

Are you registered for CUSEC yet? If so, please take a moment to pin your location on our CUSEC Frappr! Map. While you are there, take a look at who else is attending CUSEC and where they are coming from. We hope every attendee will add themselves to the map so everyone will be able to find and contact their CUSEC friends.

Microsoft: Our Platinum Sponsor

Neeraj Mathrani — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 07:41:50 +0000

I am glad to announce that Microsoft has just signed on as a Platinum sponsor for CUSEC v5.0.

Look out for their booth at CUSEC’s career fair. Coming to CUSEC just became a sweeter deal. You ask why? Well, remember how I mentioned Electronic Arts will be donating games as prizes. You guessed it, Microsoft will be contributing four XBox 360s to CUSEC v5.0 as prizes for certain events. Now you can have EA’s next. gen. games and Microsoft’s console to play them on!
