November 2013 Meeting

[Justin Etheredge]

Our November meeting (formerly known as the October meeting) is coming up this Tuesday the 5th at 6pm.

This meeting is officially an open meeting, but the topic is going to primarily revolve around the technical aspects of the healthcare.gov website launch. Peter Fries shared these articles previously:

I would recommend reading these articles, and replying with any other good articles you might be aware of, so that we can all have a lively and somewhat well informed discussion. Here are a few other related stories that I have found:

http://swimminginthought.com/dissecting-healthcare-gov-development-infrastructure-contract/ - not great, but interesting look at numbers

Hope to see all of your there!

We will be meeting at Snagajob's headquarters in Innsbrook:

4851 Lake Brook Drive, Glen Allen, VA

Ecstatic Labs is sponsoring the food, so please let me know if you're planning to attend so I know how much food to buy.

I haven’t voted yet, so I’m out.

Question: Did you plan for the .gov programming discussion to fall on Election Day, or was it more about Guy Fawkes?
