Starting this year, the Software Quality Discussion Group will meet on the 2nd Monday of every month (except for October and November, when we'll meet on the 3rd Monday), from September through May. All of our meetings are now luncheon meetings that will run from 12:00 pm until 1:00 pm. Lunch will be provided. All sessions are free, but advance registration by RSVP is now required because of the luncheon format.
