CUSEC on Kathy’s Blog
Kathy Sierra, one of CUSEC 2006 keynotes, and in many people’s opinion, the BEST keynote EVER recently made a post about CUSEC and how we ran a great conference and that she would like to see more of the passion she saw at the conference. I’m so proud! Another thing is that there’s a picture of the CUSEC organising team. Yeah! The Concordia Journal also wrote an article about the conference. I was interviewed in that one, see the Concordia software conference grows article.
I’ve started to read Kathy’s blog regularly. Right now, I’m taking a moment to remember what this moment feels like and will try to remember it when things don’t look so good. Thanks Kathy!

CUSEC 2006 in the works
A few weeks ago I finally decided to start contributing to CUSEC 2006. My main area of focus is the website: http://cusec2006.soen.info (Update your links please!). I think I’m keeping on top of it pretty well. I went with a Wordpress base, hoping that this would cut down some of the work. Up to now, it’s been a good experience. I’ve made many changes to it, especially to make it alot less blog-ish to fit the purposes of CUSEC. I learned some CSS and even kept it W3C CSS/XHTML compliant.
The dates for the conference are January 19-21, 2006 and it will be held in Montreal. The organizing team is a small but dedicated group. We are always on the look-out for more helping hands. One area that I’ve been asked to recruit for is the Logistics team. Logistics takes care of plans surrounding the actual event, such as finding suitable hotels for attendees and speakers, renting equipment for the conference, managing the conference layout, putting together the gift bags for speakers, taking care of the registration table, looking into different possibilities for the CUSEEC souvenir item, etc. If any of these areas hit home with you, or you’d like to help out in some other way but aren’t sure what, I’d love to talk about it with you.
