Dare to be Different

The conventional wisdom says that every topic of interest to the C-SPIN community takes at least one hour to discuss. But we think the conventional wisdom is wrong.

 
Do you have an important (but short) message for our community? In September we will be conducting an experiment in Ten-Minute Madness, when we present a series of 10-minute presentations on various topics with no unifying theme or connection. It is sure to be both entertaining and thought-provoking.  

 
If you have a cause to champion, an argument to make, an idea to explore or an experience to share, please contact Ross Fraser at 312-486-1487 or rossf9@aol.com. Any subject is permitted. The only restrictions are: 1) it should have something to do with software processes, and 2) you don’t take more than ten minutes.

  Driving and Parking Directions

From I-90 Northwest Tollway exit North on Barrington Road .  Take Barrington Road to Lakewood Blvd (2nd light) and turn East (right) onto Lakewood Blvd.   Turn right into the AT&T Campus Center ’s West Employee Entrance (the first entrance past Eagle Way) and follow the signs to the West Parking Structures.

Parking is available in covered lots W2 or W3 and additional parking is available in the upper level parking lot W1.  Look for parking spaces towards the west side of the parking structures.  The Institute Building , located across the road (west of the parking structures), is approximately a 5 minute walk from the parking structure.
