Spring into Summer with a series of discussion on Domain Driven Design

For the month of June, we would like to do a series of meetings on
Domain Driven Design. We need volunteers to present. The series
should be a ramp up with the first one being a simple 101 level and
culminating with a big bang at the end.

Let me know which date and topic you would like to volunteer for. If
anyone knows Eric Evans or some other well know DDD expert please have
them contact us.

Dates

June 3
June 10
June 17
June 24
July 1

Zach and John

New start time for weekly meeting is now 8:00 pm CST

After tabulating the voting results, its unanimous meeting will now
begin an hour earlier each Wednesday.

Thanks for all your input on this.

Meeting Notes: Topic ideas for future meetings

The topics below are not ordered by importance but rather were noted
in order of discussion.

1. Rest topics and SOA architecture = Udi Dahan, Seb

2. Dynamic Languages - Harry Pierson. John Lam

3. Messaging - Mass Transit or Hibernating Rhinos ESB

4. DDD talks on specific use cases as a theme

5. Nhibernate best practices including Castle Active Record.

6. Horn from Alt.Net Scotland

7. Martin Fowler or Bob Martin or Eric Evans. Issac of the NY
Alt.Net group indicated he may have a contact to involve Eric Evans.
Zjelko would try to use his Thoughtworks contacts to snag Martin
Fowler.

8. Various patterns for good architecture.

Please add to these points for further refining ideas if you like.

Thanks John
