New York City .NET Futures Forum

We have a few slots for accomplished individuals with strong opinions about where we are going, what people can do now to prepare, and how to mitigate the systemic problems we face as a discipline.

Alt.NET Open Space Seattle

GOAL:

Our discussion will attempt to drive to consensus where possible from leading New York software professionals representing a broad spectrum of concerns. Although all subjects within reason are open in general we slant to the CLR (including Mono/Rotor). We hope to have high level Microsoft participation as well as very animated and passionate debate that rarely lets you leave the room without something of value.

We aim to create an environment where technical detail, business strategy, academic/research innovation, investment opportunities, and other relevant domains common in global technology are interwoven salon style. Our group is comprised of some of the brightest minds the city offers.

Registration is not yet open but will be announced shortly. Also we will be announcing a call for papers in areas related to this round table (in fact one goal is to fine tune via consensus where interest is focused on real-world practical experience based write-ups).

Expect sponsorships (we attract a great mix of deeply technical as well as ‘suits who get it’). If you have any special requests for consideration on special topics, open source development ideas, or just to ping us, try :

Please include all relevant materials, ideas, etc. Your material will be respected as your intellectual property unless stated otherwise. Please do not send materials as we offer electronic media and web access to participants unless it is for preliminary feedback. We welcome first time presenters/panelists. You often represent an amazing untapped source of information we would love to learn from.

More to come. Formal details likely to be announced in late July.
