BitSlingers (September, 13th)
What is Bitsligners? This is an informal meetup of people interested in learning from one another. Bring your laptop and pair up with someone to work on an open source project, learn a new technique, or even dabble in a new language. There is no agenda or specific topic, just an time set aside for people to pair.

BitSlingers is held at 6PM in the Mason Panera in the Deerfield Town Center. 

CinArc Meeting  (Thursday, September 16th) 
Come join this new special interest group as we discuss topics related to software architecture.  This meeting is run using the open fishbowl technique where the attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts with everyone while keeping the meeting from becoming a free for all. :)  What topic will we cover?  Well, that's up to the attendees! 

If you have a strong opinion about a topic you'd like to suggest, or want to learn more about the topics then make sure you swing by the meeting.

CinARC meets at 6PM at MAX Technical Training in Mason, OH 

CINNUG Meeting (Tuesday, September 28th)
This month Randy Pagels will be in to give a tour of the new features of VS 2010 around testing.  We'll also get a grok talk by Mike Wood on how to create Windows 7 Jumplists for your own applications.

Kill Bugs Faster using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Advanced Diagnostics (IntelliTrace™ and Test Automation)
As applications become more complex and pressures to decrease costs increase, we need tools to facilitate reducing the turn-around time for testers and developers to find and fix bugs. Microsoft Test and Lab Manager enables testers to collect more detailed diagnostic data during a test run leading to higher quality bugs that provide more insight to the developers on what actually went wrong when the bug occurred. With the addition of Test Strips, testers can generate automation as an artifact of their test runs helping to not only increase coverage of the application, but reducing the time it takes to manually test the application. Test Impact Analysis helps developers test the right automated tests from within Visual Studio, while testers know what the right set of tests to prioritize and run are given recent changes introduced by the development organization.
