Our next meeting is rapidly approaching and we are going to have Leo Heska from DeVry University lead the discussion with his presentation on "The Dangers of SOA".
After that discussion we may also get into a side conversation on Integration Appliances, but it may make sense to save the core of that topic for our first chapter meeting of 2008 at Cast Iron Systems. I foresee the team from Starthis and Cast Iron leading that discussion.
Attendees as of Monday 11/26:
Starthis
DeVry University
Collections, Etc.
Cast Iron Systems
BearingPoint
Kehe Foods
Sterling Commerce
AmberPoint
Location, date and time:
Wednesday, November 28th, 11a-1p. Lunch provided!
Information Builders
3010 Highland Parkway, Suite 300
Downers Grove, IL 60515
Quick directions (MapQuest, Google, Yahoo! maps all work well): Exit Highland Avenue off of I-88, head south. Turn left at 31st Street. Take first left into the Highland Parkway "horseshoe". We are the first building on the left, park in parking garage.
Proposed Agenda:
1. Introductions, updates, details of the chapter
2. Membership dues (levels of membership, etc.)
3. Speaker and topic lead: Leo Heska, The Dangers of SOA
4. Open Discussion
5. Wrap-up, feedback, plans for next chapter meeting.
Please let me know if you cannot make it. Bring your colleagues!
Thanks

Thanks are due to all that attended the chapter meeting this past Thursday. I think it was a great kickoff and gave us some direction for the chapter and for future meetings.
As promised, here are the meeting minutes. Thank you Leo Heska for giving me a skeleton version on which to add my notes against!

As my coworkers in New York can attest to, local chapter involvement is a positive thing.
That being said, this is an open invitation to join the newly formed Chicago chapter of the Integration Consortium.
Details on membership levels and participation can be found here:

I was hoping to host the first meeting sometime in late February out in our Downers Grove office (West Suburbs). Based on the initial polling of my own contacts we won't be short on topic ideas!
