SVEC 2009 News!  [print page]

We're coming closer to the close of the 2008-2009 season and we've just opened nominations for the SVEC Election on June 24th.  We'd love to have some new officers from some of our new societies!  The Nominations Chair for the 2009 SVEC Election is Dr. Manesh Shah - contact him with any questions.  

I'd like to put on an Unconference called TechCamp possibly in July.  If you are interested or want more information, please follow the link.  If you would like to volunteer to help brainstorm and plan the unconference, please join this email group.

We have available for free for download our 2009 SVEC Journal of technical papers written by engineers in our member organizations.  We'd love to have your contributions for the 2010 issue.  Amip Shah has consented to be the editor and has put out a call for papers here. 

I received an email from the CIA who would like to recruit engineers from our organizations.  If anyone is interested, I have put a link to the email.

You should consider coming to the amazing Makerfaire where we will have a SVEC booth demonstrating IR photography!

I would love to hear about any links you think we should add and ideas to make information better organized and more usable. SVEC now has the resources to better become a focus of the local tech community and go on to even greater things!  Help us build this website into a terrific resource to assist our member organizations and the technical community with links to professional training, volunteer opportunities reaching out to kids, and publicity for our member organization events and programs. We have added an online calendar of Bay Area technical events.
