Handson Facebook Application Workshop
多 伦多被称为“世界社交媒体之都”（the Social Media Capital of the World）。据统计，超过70%的多伦多网民是Facebook的用户，所以又被称为“Facebook之都”（the capital of Facebook）。同时，多伦多也成为Facebook应用开发的重地。2008年10月，Facebook利用fbFund（资本1千万美金）奖励全 球的5个获奖应用（每个获得25万美金），其中三个应用是来自多伦多的 （Kontagent，HitGrab 和WedSnap），而其中Kontagent的创始人是位华人，名叫Albert Lai。
鉴 于Facebook在多伦多的超级普及性以及广大会员对Web2.0系列活动的极大兴趣，IT资深人协会于3月29日在Bayview Hill Community Centre举办了Facebook应用开发讲座（Facebook Application Development Workshop）。这次讲座结合协会开发ACSIP的Facebook Application（http://apps.facebook.com/acsiporg ）的经验，重点介绍了Facebook Platform，并演示如何从零开始创建Facebook Application。很 多与会者使用过Facebook，但对Facebook Application的开发还是第一次如此深入的了解。除了对技术方面的交流，大家还讨论了Facebook Application的市场开发及商业运作。协会也将为会员尝试开发提供必要的支持，如开发初期Web Hosting。

Web 2.0研讨会之二
继11月1日web2.0研讨会后，为了满足会员的浓厚兴趣以及保持讨论的连续性和深入性，IT资深人协会于12月7日举行了有关Web 2.0的第二次研讨会。议题集中在以下两方面：
- – Web 2.0 与 面向服务架构(SOA)
- – Web 2.0 与 开源平台 （Open Source Platform)
与 第一次研讨会不同的是，本次活动内容更加集中和专业。主讲人Sean，Mark，Zemin和David从不同角度讲述了Web 2.0与SOA及开源平台的关系和应用。鉴于Web 2.0 Mashup的近期发展和潜力，Zemin倡议大家利用它来创业。同样，Web 2.0和开源技术的结合，也为IT人士的技术创新或创业提供了平台。
我们希望通过这样的活动，让大家开阔眼界，跟踪潮流，提升自己，寻找机遇。
Web 2.0研讨会之一
没 用过Delicious，那你也许用过Flickr；没听过豆瓣，那你也许听过鲜果；没看过土豆，那你也许看过Youtube；没上过Myspace，那 你也许有个Facebook的ID。从2005年Web2.0的概念被提出来，我们已经确确实实生活在其中了。那么你对它了解多少呢？
无论你干什么，只要是互联网，web2.0就应该被看作是一次大革命。web2.0它首先是一种观念，是和以前的商业化互联网不同的观念。在Web1.0 时 代，所有的行为都是围绕信息的，而web2.0是以“人”为中心重组互联网的。作为一名IT资深人士，我们有必要从深层次去理解 Web2.0，并为我所用。
为此，IT资深人协会于2008年11月1日下午特举办了一期针对web2.0的研讨会，议题包括：
* Web 2.0 技术介绍
* Web 2.0 对企业的影响
* Web 2.0 对社会和生活方面的影响
* Web 2.0 与 SaaS
在各议题主讲人的引导下，与会的新老会员们展开了热烈的讨论。这其中有关web 2.0对企业的影响尤为关注。因为很多与会者大多是各大公司企业的高级技术人士，对于Web 2.0的企业级应用都或多或少有自己的认识和理解。因为时间的问题，很多话题都没来得及深入的展开。这一方面反映了大家对Web 2.0的极大兴趣，另一方面也表明我们需要对Web 2.0进行更多和更深的探讨。
为了保持话题的连续性和进一步激发会员的兴趣，协会初步定于12月7日举行有关Web 2.0的第二次研讨会。议题将集中在以下两方面：
* Web 2.0 与 SOA
* Web 2.0 与 Open Source Platform
我们也希望大家到论坛里参加相关话题的讨论，为参加研讨会热热身。
奥运会对IT业界的启示研讨会
尽管今年的烦心事一个接一个，中国还是通过奥运会给全世界发了张漂亮的名片。这跟我们有关系吗？在奥运前后，ACSIP 的两位理事走访了中国几间IT企业和IT相关的产业机构。因此本次meet-up的焦点议题就是奥运会对美加及中国企业在对方市场的策略影响及IT资深人群的机会。
议题一: 从“中国需要世界,世界也需要中国”的角度对IT产业的观察
- 国内企业面临的发展机遇和国内市场的挑战。包括:
- 人民币汇率、人力成本增长等
- 国内市场环境。
- 国内企业
- 奥运会给国内企业带来的机会
- 知识产权意识加强
- 软件的重视程度加大
- 国内企业的状况
- 案例: 中国移动的供应商
案例:针对日本的外包商北美扩展
- 案例: 同中国外包企业的交流
- 加拿大中小型企业对中国市场的理解
- 案例: 加拿大IT SECURITY公司
- 案例: Data Centre 选择了中国而非印度
- 加中企业对”两用”人材的需求.
- IT资深人群能做什么, 会做什么, 如何PROMOTE自己
议题二: IT资深人协会与计世集团的合作.
ACSIP理事本次中国行同计算机世界 (计世) 集团达成了初步合作协议。借助计世的媒体平台，加拿大的IT人士可以通过撰写文章或文章系列的方式来跟国内企业分享经验, 并以此提升ACSIP会员在中国IT社区的影响力和知名度。
July Outsourcing & Career Event
On July 6th, 2008, A group of ACSIPers, veterans and new friends, gathered together again at Bayview Community Centre, Richmond Hill to resume our routine information exchange session schedule after the ACSIP Sichuan Earthquake donation event held in early June.
After ACSIP directors shared their views, analysis and information on the industry trends on global IT outsourcing, participants of the meet-up had a particular interesting (and heated!) discussion on the proposed outline of the to-be-published “North American IT Outsourcing Industry Analysis and Business Processes”. Many valuable suggestions were given and lots of data, experiences and information are shared across the board. (Please visit the Sina blog created specifically for this subject: http://blog.sina.com.cn/outsource , your comments are very welcome!)
Another interesting topic of the meet-up is about the challenges IT professionals are facing in the career advancement in US/Canada. ACSIPers had an in-depth discussion on the article “20 ways to promote you in North American IT career” written by one of the ACSIP directors. While most of the members recognized the necessity to enhance themselves on communication with co-workers and senior managements in order to advance careers to the next level, some members do hold a different (and interesting!) view that one should not be too hard on forcing him/herself out of the warm and fuzzy “shell”, a key factor of one’s self-fulfillment and happiness, at home or at work.
We are encouraged by our member willingness to participate and share their views and information in this meet-up. While being fully aware of the potency and fun provided by Facebook, ACSIP also firmly believes there are no substitutes to honest and pleasant Face-to-face interactions. Hope to see you all next time.
