Meeting Topics:

Avoiding Software Sins when Aiming for Maintainability as a Team's Architect

Derrick Bommarito

When aiming for a combination of extensibility and ease of use in a team's framework there a myriad of traps to fall into that have the opposite of the intended effect on maintainability. Sometimes it takes years to hit maintenance hell and sometimes it happens much much quicker. This exmples in the discussion will be building on top of Actor Framework but the ideas demonstrated should apply to all software development. Most software will eventually reach an "unmaintainable" state and we'll look at concrete examples that can help push out the timeline on your software's demise.

6x6 Open Mic!

We're going to try something a little different this time. Drawing on the highly successful 7x7/lightning round format commonly seen at the GDevCons and other events, we're going to open the floor to the membership for 36 minutes of short presentations. Do you have a trick, technique, or tool you're dying to show off? You get six minutes to say your piece. First come, first served, so put your idea in the comments. Or just show up with one.

Important note: NI's visitors must sign in with security to gain access to our meeting space. Due to staffing issues, no one from that team is available after 6:30 pm. Therefore, anyone wishing to attend this event *must* arrive before 6:30 pm. We won't be able to admit anyone after that time.
