As a member of the Northern Virginia Linux Users Group, you may be 
interested to know that online registration is now underway for the DC 
ACM Professional Development Seminars being held at George Washington 
University March 16-18, 2009.

With the economic news getting worse every day, job security is a 
concern for everyone.  More than ever, computing professionals must 
ensure that they have solid skills and cutting-edge knowledge to deal 
with the rapidly changing environment.

The proceeds of these seminars are used to support the Washington, D.C. 
chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (DC ACM), a nonprofit 
organization dedicated to providing opportunities (including life-long 
learning, career development, and professional networking) for 
meaningful connections between the area’s academics, professionals, and 
policymakers in the computer science and information technology fields. 
  Therefore you can enhance your technical and/or management abilities 
while at the same time help DC ACM continue to serve the local computing 
community.

The classes are organized into five thematic "tracks."  Full-day 
seminars are $600, and half-day seminars are $300.  DC ACM members are 
eligible for a 5% discount, and if you register before March 1, you can 
get an additional 10% early bird discount.  We also have a special rate 
for full-time students.  Registration is being conducted online, and 
payment is accepted by both check and credit card.  The seminars are 
briefly listed below.  For the schedule and detailed seminar 
descriptions, please visit our website (http://www.dcacm.org/pd) or
