[Canberra-pm] Next meeting: Wednesday 20th February 2008?

[Jacinta Richardson]

G'day folk,

Paul Fenwick is in Canberra and has been asked to speak at the SAGE-AU ACT
meeting.  SAGE-AU is the System Administrators' Guild of Australia and is the
SysAdmin industry body.  SAGE-AU encourages non-members to attend a meeting or
two before joining to get an idea of what it's all about - as such they would
love for to invite you to attend (and you'd be welcome to partake of their free
victuals).  Of course Paul'd be happy to see you again too.

The talk that Paul is giving is the talk he gave as the OSDC Dinner Keynote
which was well received both by developers and partners alike.

All the best,

	Jacinta

 Title:     An Illustrated History of Failure

 Abstract:  The average individual is given little scope for failure, at
           least not the type that really matters. The opportunity for
           catastrophic failure, that influences nations or continents,
           has been traditionally reserved for royalty, parliament, and
           others in a position of great leadership.

           However in recent times we have developed a profession
           who have the opportunity to fail like never before. A
           profession that can make mistakes that are so monumental,
           so wide-reaching, and so costly they can shake civilization
           to its very core. This elite group, rarely seen by every
           day society, are the foundation upon which modern society
           depends. The few, the proud, the Software Developers.

           Join us for a voyage of discovery, as we travel back through
           history to some of the most monumental failures the world
           has ever seen.
