*Presentations update

Last time I had mentioned that we had secured Dave Thomas and Pete Mcbreen.
Two more incredible speakers have been added to our list of Keynotes: Ralph
Johnson and James R. (Jim) Cordy.

Ralph Johnson, a member of the "Gang of Four", is co-author of the
influential software engineering book "Design Patterns" and is a pioneer in
the Smalltalk community. Jim Cordy is currently Professor and Director of
the School of Computing a Queen's University.  He is a founding member of
the Software Technology Laboratory at Queen's University and is the author
or co-author of numerous contributions in computer software systems.  We
have an incredible Keynotes Director, Orlando Marquez, to thank for this
incredible line up! One more keynote remaining to complete our Keynote
lineup for CUSEC 2007.

Corporate Presentations are fully booked, thanks to our Corp. Presentations
Director Michelle Chua. You will hear technical presentations from Google,
RIM, Infusion Development, Business Objects, Microsoft and SAP!

We have two out of six Academic Presentations secured: Prof. Debbabi from
Concordia, and Dr. Godfrey from U of Waterloo. Four more on their way. If
you have a Professor that you would like to recommend, please do not
hesitate to contact me: neeraj.mathrani at gmail.com
