Hi Everyone!
The following special meeting announcement just came in from Dr. Baas:
Don Christensen is visiting campus next week and has agreed to meet with CS majors during supper on Monday, 27th, in one of the Corner Cafe’s dining rooms. We’re also invited to attend the day-long meetings, Monday-Wednesday in MSC3, 9am-5pm.
Here’s a short bio on the man.
Don Christensen introduced in 1981 one of the first CASE tools on the commercial market. Don worked as an IBM Systems Engineer in the 70s, and created a system called Application Development System (ADS). In 1981, New England Life Insurance, Raytheon, John Hancock Life Insurance and Liberty Mutual became users of this new software. ADS today is sold and maintained by Computer Associates (CA) and referred to as CA-TELON and sold in its height $34 million in one year. Don lives in Quincy, Massachusetts and has two children, a daughter who works with her dad as a web programmer and a son who is a programmer as well. Don with his current software company, Quinsoft, is releasing to the Open Community under GPLv3 called OpenCUAS (Open Community University Administrative System).

Be sure to try and join us if you can!
