[Melbourne-pm] OSDClub meeting - 8th February 2006

[Jacinta Richardson]

We invite you to join us for the next OSDClub meeting:

	When:   6:30pm, Wednesday 8th February 2006
	Where:  myinternet House, Level 8, 14 Blackwood Street, North Melbourne

Our featured talks will be:

	Zaltana
	-------

	A fusion of PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java and  more into the
	one application framework, by doing no code in any of the above.   It
	provides a single sign-on, single look and feel and it does not matter
	whether the code is from an existing or new project, template or static
	page. And it does all this in a manner that is well documented,
	reproducible, and most importantly of all, completely independently - 	
	allowing reuse of every component, even outside of Zaltana.

	How to get the best bang for your consultancy dollar.
	----------------------------------------------------

	The need to hire consultants is a fact of life for many businesses, 	
	small and large.  This talk covers how to make sure you really need a
	consultant, different types of consultants, what they can deliver, how
	to prepare for the first day, how to keep them honest and ensure
	communication flow, how to spot problems, money issues, working hours
	and tips on maintaining relationships.
