PSIG 64: Thursday April 3rd, 2003

When:

Thursday, April 3rd, 2003 @ 7pm

Where:

The NorthWest of Us' office

Schedule:

Show & Tell
We'll start out the meeting by going around the table and talking about what we're currently working on or learning about. Handouts are welcome, or bring along your PowerBook and we'll hook it up to the projector.

Book Reports
Bring along the book you're currently reading, or one of your old favorites. Hopefully the book would have some relevance to programming, but we're fairly open-minded. Just give us an overview the book's topic, and what you liked (or disliked) about it.

Topics
I will talk about RSS, a much-politized XML data format that carries those news feeds that are consumed by NetNewsWire. I'll lay out the twisted history of RSS (did you know version 0.92 came out *after* 1.0?), as well as enumerate all the phrases this acronym has expanded to over the years. Finally, I'll give you a RSS generation hint or two and offer unsolicited punditry on the future of RSS.

Dinner
If you want pizza, bring along three dollars and we'll all chip in.

Looking for Presenters:

I'm always on the look-out for folks to want to give a talk for a meeting. The talk doesn't need to be long (10 minutes is fine if your topic is small or you just want to tease the group) and you don't need to be an expert (just tell us why you think your topic is cool or your experiences). Toss me an email and I'll assign you a chunk of time.
