There have been some changes in the SEA recently. A few SEA'ers retired, Alan Norton resigned from the Proposal Review Committee and SEA chairman. In addition, Rory Kelly and Si Liu entered SEA as Professional Development chair and Knowledge Management chair respectively.

Rory and Si elected Davide Del Vento (chair of the Seminar Committee) as SEA chair for the Executive Committee,

Here it is the new SEA website, at the URL: http://sea.ucar.edu/ It's still pretty basic, but it has nice seminar and class announcement pages, accessible also with RSS feeds. Thanks to WEG for their help with it.

The Software Engineering Assembly is developing a new seminar series for 2010, and I'm coordinating the series.

I'll try to have one speaker per month, and I'm leaning towards a fixed day, such the last Tuesday Thursday of the month. I plan to send out Meeting Maker invites to all the subscribers of this mailing list (when I'll figure out how to do that), besides email announcements.

I already have a couple of speakers and I'm negotiating with a few others. We will have both internal and external speakers.
