Special Event (Monday, November 17th at MAX Technical Training in Mason 6:00
PM) 

The phrase "drive quality upstream" has been abused so badly by ALM software
vendors that it has to be relegated to the platitude junk pile along with
such all time favorites as "work smarter not harder," "think outside the
box," and "synergistic leveraging of code reuse."  Before we drive quality
anywhere, we need to give quality a seat at the table. VSTS Rosario release
will do this by automatically gathering critical information about the
project and code and making that data available when, where and to whom it
is needed. During this discussion we will examine how Rosario impacts
quality across the application lifecycle by: 

*       Allowing testers to provide developers with details about what the
code did instead of just providing the details about what the tester did. 
*       Allowing development leads and architects to visualize and
understand their current code (not the code they wish they had, but the code
they really have) so that they can minimize the impact of changes; and 
*       Allowing developers to understand the impact of their changes in
terms of affected tests, concurrency and bounds checking.  

The Rosario release of VSTS will bring all project stakeholders together to
allow richer information to be shared across every role to make software
quality accessible and achievable. 

Presented by Mark Mydland 

Mark Mydland is a Group Manager for the Visual Studio Team Edition for
Software Testers product at Microsoft.  In the past 12 years, Mark has
worked as a developer and consultant across a wide variety of applications
and industries.  Mark first joined Microsoft in 2001 working as a member of
the Natural Interactive Services Division (NISD).  During his time in that
group, Mark was the development manager for a team focused on analytics for
assessing the efficacy of natural language interpreters with a particular
emphasis on driving authoring simplification and relevance quality for user
assistance.  Based on this work, Mark filed numerous patents and coauthored
a paper for the SIGIR journal.  In 2004, Mark left Microsoft to work as a
Director of Development at Getty Images where he led a change in process
from a traditional waterfall methodology to a scrum-based agile approach
which brought the release frequency from 12-18 months down to 1 month.
Since Getty made extensive use of VSTS, it seemed a natural fit for Mark to
join VSTS on his return to Microsoft in 2006.  Mark received his B.S. from
West Point in 1991.  He has also held positions with USWeb/marchFirst and
Andersen Consulting/Accenture.

The Mark Mydland tour meeting will be held on Monday, November 17th at 6:00

Please Note the new Day - Third Thursday of Every Month starting in November

Come join this new special interest group as we discuss topics related to
software architecture.  This meeting is run using the fishbowl technique
where the attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts with everyone
while keeping the meeting from becoming a free for all. :)  What topic will
we cover?  Well, that's up to the attendees!  Here are some topics that will
be considered for the evening's discussions:

*       Identity Management
*       Architecting for a Virtual environment
*       ORM is for CRUD ONLY
*       Making outsourcing work
*       Does authorization belong in the domain model
*       When and how to push back on a feature
*       Architect as a leader
*       Leveraging the cloud

If you have a strong opinion about any of these topics, have a topic you'd
like to suggest, or want to learn more about the topics then make sure you
swing by the meeting.
