Hi David Hope you are interested in the following. Tim O'Reilly will be at BT Labs on Wed. 9th August. You are all cordially invited to attend the talk. To register, please contact library@bt.com with name, affiliation and need of car park facility.

Description of the talk -

Title: The Pause before the Next Wave Speaker: Tim O'Reilly, President and CEO, O'Reilly & Associates Content: With this year's high-tech slowdown in full swing, programmers, web developers, system administrators, and other IT professionals are suddenly facing an uncertain future, as their stock options go underwater and layoffs replace seemingly bottomless demand for people

with tech skills. The dotcom party has turned into an industry-wide hangover. But can this really be the end of an era?

Date: Wednesday 8th August Venue: BT, Martlesham Heath Time: 15.00

That's all for now. All the best Josette
