Guests and Calvin College's Computer Science Department Hold First Dynamic Link Conference

Have you heard of "The Geek Gap"?  That book and its title inspired the first Dynamic Link Conference held on May 2, 2009 at the Devos Communications Center at Calvin College.   Over 50 attendees including guests, students and faculty heard the morning's keynote speakers.  Focused discussion groups met in the afternoon.  A summary of those group discussions will appear in the next journal of Dynamic Link: Christian Perspectives on Software Development .  The original goals of those groups are available on this site's overview page.  The three focus groups appear below (S=Student, G=Guest):

Discussion Group 1: Scott Crickmore(G), Debbi Kuipers(Student Leader), Kenneth Todd(G), Rohit Nair (S), Jon Walz (S), Brent Sloterbeek S), Aaron Koenes(S), Dr. Quentin Schultze(Keynote), Samuel Williamson(G), Scott Hinckley(S), Fred Baseth(G), T.R.

Dynamic Link 2009 is a continuation of a project funded by the Lilly Vocational Fund. The project engages Christian professionals in software development to share with students the link between their faith and work. The original effort resulted in the first issue of Dynamic Link: Christian Perspectives on Software Development .  A second issue of the journal is in the process of production.
