*** MAIN PRESENTATION ***
"Avoiding Open Source Lawsuits"
Stormy Peters
Avoiding open source lawsuits: 5 steps to effective open
source governance in the enterprise. Enterprises need to
be aware of open source legal issues, but an effective
open source governance program can help mitigate risks
while enabling enterprises to maximize the benefits of
open source software.
Attendees will learn about the five steps to effective open
source governance including:
* Creating an open source inventory
* Implementing an open source strategy and policy
* Managing the approval process
* Tracking and auditing open source usage
* Ensuring compliance with open source licenses
Speaker:
Stormy Peters educates companies and communities on how
open source software is changing the software industry
and how they can best use, interact and participate with
open source software projects and companies using open
source software.
She is a passionate speaker who engages her audiences
during and after her presentations. She is a frequent
keynote speaker on business aspects of Open Source
Software at major conferences such as the Open Source
Business Conference and the O'Reilly conferences, as
well as government organizations such as the United
Nations and the European Union.
Stormy is involved in GNOME and free and open source
software because it is changing the world and the
community is full of smart, passionate people!
Stormy Peters is currently serving as Executive Director
of the GNOME Foundation. She joined the GNOME Foundation
from OpenLogic where she set up their OpenLogic Expert
Community. Previously, she worked at Hewlett-Packard
where she founded and managed the Open Source Program
Office that is responsible for HP's open source
strategy, policy and business practices.
Stormy graduated from Rice University with a B.A. in
Computer Science.
*** BASIC CONCEPTS ***
"Groovy, JUnit 4 and JMockit"
Frederic Jean
Description:
Groovy's syntax and meta-programming abilities provides
powerful means to simplify writing unit tests for your
applications. Frederic will explore using Groovy,
JUnit 4 and JMockit to test Java applications and work
around some of the challenges that arise in modern Java
applications.
Speaker:
Frederic is a Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems.
He focuses on using dynamic languages such as Ruby
and Groovy to build and test complex applications.
He is currently working on Project Kenai which provides
a hosting facility for Sun's many Open Source Projects.
Frederic first learned about Groovy in 2005 when he
was looking for a way to simplify writing unit tests
for Sun's update delivery infrastructure code. He has
been an advocate for it's use within Sun since.

*** DIRECTIONS ***
We will be meeting at the Tivoli Building which is closest
to the Pepsi Center side of the campus.
The room we are in is called the Multi-Cultural Room.
I'm not sure where the location is, but I will try and put
up some directional signs when I get there.
Here's a link to the Campus Map followed by the link to the PDF:

Driving:
The closest parking is in the Tivoli Parking Structure.
The first time we were on-campus some of our
attendees were charged the same rate as the Pepsi Center
Events game parking. If you park in the garage, explain
that you are there for an on-campus event sponsored by
the Metro State Computer Science Department and CCD Life
and that you are to pay the same rate as students attending
other on-campus events.
Do not park in the NE lot - that is for students only.
If you are going to stay late (we often go to Old Chicago
nearby on Market Street after the meeting) you may want to
park in the uncovered parking lot just West of the Tivoli.
Light Rail:
You can take the Light Rail to either the Pepsi Center
or to the Colfax and Auraria Stop.
From the Pepsi Center Light Rail Stop:
Head South, cross Auraria Parkway at the Light.
The Tivoli is the first building as you get to the campus.
From the Auraria Colfax Station:
Head NW on Main Street, past the Library and Media Center.
Continue North until you get to the Tivoli building.
