The Lees Lecture Theatre, Bournemouth University
BCS Dorset Branch welcomes the Open Source Specialist Group (OSSG) http://ossg.bcs.org/ – for an entertaining
evening debating this hot topic. Is Linux the answer to everything? Can Open Source software provide a real viable alternative in the businessworld?
A panel of “experts” will be available to answer your questions and adjudicating events will be the Dorset Branch Chair, Dr Andrew Main. If you have a question please submit this before the event to dorset_events@bcs.org.uk although, just like the real program, we will take some questions on the night.

Erlang Factory, the biggest Erlang gathering in London is coming back!
The Erlang Factory conference will last two days from 10 to 11 June 2010.
Like in previous years the conference is aimed at Erlang enthusiasts from architects to newbies. The Erlang Factory is a perfect event for networking, learning and for sharing knowledge, experience and passion of the Erlang language.
At the Erlang Factory London 2010 there will be over 40 speakers, 35 talks and 6 separate tracks. Delegates can choose which talks they want to attend and move freely among the tracks. The keynote speakers are Martin Odersky and Robert Virding. Robert Virding, inventor of Erlang will give a talk on "The history of the VM" and Martin Odersky inventor of Scala talk about "The influences of Erlangs concurrency model when inventing Scala"
In addition to the conference, there will be a three day Erlang University, three days of training courses at all levels allowing you to learn Erlang from the experts. You can attend the Erlang Express course, taught by O’Reilly Erlang Programming author Simon Thompson. Experienced users can attend the OTP Express course, taught by Erlang Solutions’ Training Manager Henry Nystrom, or a 3-day introduction to Quick Check given by John Hughes and Thomas Arts of QuviQ. By following three days of training in Erlang with two days of conference talks and networking, you will benefit far more than by only having the training by itself.
