Thanks to Jim, I’ve corrected the calendar entry. The meeting is next week, not tonight (Oct 13). If you are looking for a meeting to atend tonight, the ocbug (ocbug.ca) meeting is tonight.

Title: October Meeting
Location: The Second Cup, Bells Corners
Link out: Click here
Description: We have a couple of topics for October:
- Documentation systems
– basically what systems do you use, what could we do better?
– Do you use a Wiki? a CMS? a spreadsheet? Google docs? etc.
– self-contained or db based?
– What works and what does not?
- Certifications – do they have any value?
– Who has certifications?
– Why do you have them?
– Have they helped?
– Should “I” get any/more?
– Do certifications help with my job?

Title: September Meeting (Note that this is the LAST Thursday in the month)
Location: The Second Cup, Bells Corners

Description: As we had a very small turnout for the last meeting, I’ll bring along some photos of the new firewall appliance I assembled with components from pc engines. I’m quite impressed so far.

Hopefully we can stand another of my “doc” talks as well. If I’m successful, I’ll provide the whole thing as an epub file.
