Call for Share - Atlanta Open Source Test Automation Shareathon (AOSTAS)

Inspired by the OSTATLI (http://testobsessed.com/2009/01/29/ostatli/) on February 5th, I am inviting all open source test automation tool aficionados in the Atlanta, Georgia area to join me for a day of mutual sharing of open source (lightweight) test automation tools and frameworks. This event will be a free small, non-commercial, invitation-only gathering on Saturday (March 7, 2009) (10am-6pm) in Roswell (metro-Atlanta), Georgia.

Participants need to bring their laptops/computers, loaded with their favorite tools, or pick some to download that day, and we will spend a day uploading, installing, experimenting, and sharing various tools to see what each one can do. We will have facilities (room, furniture, power, WI-FI). Please bring a light lunch for yourself.

We can also swap philosophies and war stories about how our organizations are using open-source software tools.

This is a peer workshop, which means that all participants are expected to actively participate, one way or another. Come and play and learn.

Participation is limited. But getting an invite is easy: just email me (jasnow [at] hotmail [dot] com) by March 1^st with your ideas of sharing.

Please forward this to others, especially organizations such as AST, CAST, and SQUAD, that maybe interested. This is not limited to just testers.
