| Dear NYC Architects,
Thanks to all of you, we've had an overwhelmingly positive response to
the announcement of our intent to startup a NYC chapter of the
International Association of Software Architects. As you know, the
organizational meeting is scheduled for 6pm on Tuesday, February 22.
Important news first: Due to the tremendous response, we need to move
to a larger venue.
Our first meeting will be hosted by Microsoft at:
Microsoft
6th Floor
1290 Avenue of the Americas (between 51st and 52nd)

This first meeting is an organizational meeting. We will provide a
brief overview of IASA's mission and goals and describe the overall
structure of the organization. We will follow this with a group
discussion on next steps. We're particularly interested in speaking
with any of you who may be able to volunteer time to help set up and
run the chapter, company representatives who could sponsor one or more
events, or those who might be willing to provide a presentation in your
area of interest. But of course, we're excited to have the chance to
meet all of you!
The typical format for an IASA meeting involves a 1-hour (or so)
presentation on a topic of mutual interest, followed by brief business
discussion and an optional social event. Presentations of other
chapters have included:
- architecture ROI
- rule-based architectures
- overview of struts
- data caching architectures
.... and much, much more!
Check out presentations from other chapters at:
http://www.iasarchitects.org. We will spend a little time on Tuesday
discussing opportunities for future presentations (please bring
ideas!).
Thanks to all of you who took the time to RSVP. We're looking forward
very much to meeting each of you in person!
Best,
Bill Hazard and Bill Zack
