<p>Live talk, no webcast!<br>
</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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 <a

<font size="2" face="sans-serif">How does this sound:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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, </font><a href="http://bit.ly/latone-qlinks"

color="blue">http://bit.ly/latone-qlinks</font></a><font
size="2" face="sans-serif">. 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.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Feel free to promote it in any way
you'd like, and use anything from my LI and the presentation above
to describe it.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I'd prefer to start at 2PM if
that's OK since it usually goes for 2 hours given all the
questions/discussion.</font><br>
