# Social Engineering: Building A Community On Purpose with Mike Hoye
Community building in Open Source is usually "organic" - meaning
"accidental, unsupervised and messy". The bazaar has matured a lot in
the last twenty years, though, and now we know a lot about how we can
do better. Mike Hoye, Mozilla's Engineering Community Manager, would
like to tell you what works, what doesn't, and why that's important.
## Location
George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre

## Schedule
* 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation.
* 9:00 pm - After each meeting a group of GTALUGers move to the The
Imperial Pub 54 Dundas St East for refreshments and more socializing.
Code of Conduct
===============
We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas,
improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between
individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.
We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from
those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that
diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will
challenge prejudice that could jeopardize the participation of any
person in the community.
The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private
whenever the Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect
it to be honored by everyone who represents the community officially
or informally, claims affiliation, or participates directly. It
applies to activities online or offline.
We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open.

of Conduct please contact one of the GTALUG Board Members.

Maven and a Round Table Q&A Session
===================================
Maven
-----
Make was written to avoid the problem of recompiling files
that hadn't changed. It of course introduced a new set of
problems , such as verbosity, and the solutions for them.
Those solutions in turn introduced another set of problems
such as redundancy, and so on. Maven is one of the
moderately successful attempts to solve most of them.
Round Table Q&A Session
-----------------------
A Round Table Q&A Session is where we take questions from
the audience, and the audience discusses and attempts to
answer those questions from their own knowledge. It's a
great way to meet fellow members of our community and
discover the skill sets we each bring to the table.
