[svfig-announce] Promoting Joe Latone in Live in Person at SVFIG 26 January

[Kevin Appert]

Live talk, no webcast!

Joe Latone, a Big Wheel at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San 
Francisco,  will be addressing us in person at 2:00 PM on the 26th.  
There will be no YouTube stream!

I welcome any ideas for promoting this talk.  Unless it's something 
prosaic (such as Redit, LinkedIn, Meetup) please run it by me before 
proceeding.   No Mercury News!  No news:comp.lang.forth !!!

Hi Kevin,

How does this sound:

I was thinking of doing an interactive session with the simple objective 
of introducing quantum computing to software engineers by way of giving 
an overview and citing useful references to help developers get started, 
i.e., something along the lines of this "presentation of links" I 
maintain, http://bit.ly/latone-qlinks. I've found there's so much new to 
learn for a developer--a QC is a new instruction set + new programming 
model + new complexity class, not to mention the new software 
stack--that trying to do anything practical for a beginner is either too 
overwhelming or useless. So, instead, I try to give developers what I 
think they'll need to learn hands-on on their own, based on my 
experiences doing the same for the past two years and all the right & 
wrong paths I took.

Feel free to promote it in any way you'd like, and use anything from my 
LI and the presentation above to describe it.

I'd prefer to start at 2PM if that's OK since it usually goes for 2 
hours given all the questions/discussion.
