Join Dr. Jeffrey Joyce of Critical Systems Labs on “The Prospect of Using Agile Methods in Developing Safety-critical Software: A License to Kill?”. Agile methods are designed to maximize productivity but are they suitable when failure is not an option? Join us as Jeff considers the risks. Following the presentation we’ll have a door prize draw, round-the-room introductions, and then open the floor for networking.
this presentation is intended to provoke a discussion about using Agile Methods in the development of safety-critical software ? or more generally, in the development of any software that has the potential to cause a significant loss of any kind, e.g., financial loss. The presentation will include an overview of how agile methods fall short of the general expectations of standards and guidelines for the development of safety-critical software. Beyond the matter of compliance with standards and guidelines, this presentation suggests how the use of agile methods might miss out some good opportunities to avoid problems that could contribute to unsafe system behaviour.

Come share and exchange tips and how-tos on Wordpress and blogging in general. You will also learn how to reach a larger audience by using a Wordpress blog in conjunction with other web services and Social Networking websites such as Flickr, YouTube, Slideshare, Facebook, and Google Calendar.
Wordpress is perhaps the most commonly used Blogging web application on the web. We blog to express ourselves, share our thoughts, or promote our businesses. Wordpress is one of the simplest forms of Social Media Content Management Systems where one or few people write blog posts, and many readers are able to provide feedback through comments. The social aspect of a blog makes it a very effective Communication and Marketing tool. Wordpress is an Open Source software released under the GPL and many aspects of it relies on the wisdom of the crowds. Wordpress comes with a large list of plugins developed by community members. Many successful blogging techniques and methods have also been created as a result of community members who have collectively built on each other’s ideas and creativity.
Many Wordpress users are coming from a non-technical background, so a group of community members on Tazzu.com suggested we have a Wordpress Camp event to share tips and learn more about this great Social Media CMS.
