The Xero Summer Seminar Series (#XSSS) is designed to inform, upskill and connect the Wellington Summer of Code students with the wider IT community. A light lunch & networking will follow the seminar, and ALL SoC 09 participants (students & companies) are welcome to attend, free of charge.

Other members of the Wellington IT community (yes, especially UP members) are very welcome too! XSSS and SoC are a not-for-profit programme, and would hugely appreciate a small donation from non-SoC attendees (e.g. $10 waged, $5 unwaged) to help cover the costs of this event.

Monday 1 February - TechTalk with Snapper
Roger Brown from Snapper will give an introduction to SmartCards, how they work, how they can be communicated with and what can be done with them.  The talk will include a brief history of smartcard technology and then focus on the current state of the art, Java SmartCards.
