HR Geeks

I know a large number of the HR Geeks community are involved in IT-related work for the Department of Defense, so I figured I’d share this.

Coming up soon, AFCEA (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association) and USJFCOM (United States Joint Forces Command) are sponsoring the Joint Warfighting Conference at the Virginia Beach Convention Center on May 11-13th. Conference registration is free (and appears to be open to the public). Two highlights will be luncheon keynotes with Adm. Mike Mullen (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and Gen. David Petraeus (Commander, US Central Command).

A few of the panels (such as “How do we fight through a digital meltdown?” with VADM Browne should be quite interesting. Lunch and dessert are provided each day by a sponsor.

Be sure to come out to 757 Labs tomorrow night for the first ever 757 Python Users Group meetup. Over a dozen local pythonistas have already RSVP’d (don’t worry, it’s not necessary, you can still show up!). The talks and conversation should be quite interesting!

What: 757 PUG Kick-Off Meeting
When: Wed. April 21 at 7:00PM
Where: 757 Labs (233 W. Bute St., in Norfolk)

Thanks to Jeff Self for putting this together!

First Friday of the month and we had a meeting. That, I’m sure sounds really intriguing. So, yay to ye 2600ers, who kept the meeting going. Yep, the monthly meeting went down, and as in the past, had a rather nice turn out. But, one must note that turnout does not equate to quality of conversation, it can increase the probability that more variety in discussion will arise. But, I’m just blabbering, the meeting was very nice, kind of like show and tell, but with more tell. In attendance this episode was Jody, Sunpuke, Tele, Eric, TJ, Rick, and myself. It had been a while since Rick last showed-up, back in the Lynnhaven days, but he decided to drop in while in town. We had some interesting talks, from metal to speed-pass, to…. whatever. The number of words counted by Word Press, in this post, is a prime value. I think words are just space-delimited values.
