As we jet around the world from contract to contract, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay in touch with all those like-minded souls that we briefly meet, work with, and then drunkenly exchange out-of-date and mis-spelled email addresses scrawled on soggy beermats using burnt matchsticks or the barmaid's eyeliner. Er, with.

Well, help is at hand. The CCCCC exists purely to help Cool:Poser Computer Contractors to contact other Cool:Poser Computer Contractors. That's what we're here for. We've been doing it for as long as there's been a 'C' in the name, and we like to think that we're tolerably good at it.

We now have CCCCC groups on LinkedIn and Facebook. Feel free to join, if you feel suitably geeky.

EDGE user group have posted a couple of interesting documents, a CA White Paper on existing customers' 'return on investment', and a Butler Group White Paper on Gen as a flagship for Model Driven Design.

IET, the makers of GuardIEn, have come out with a shiny new tool which seems pretty impressive. Their VerifIEr checks through a subset or a whole model and tells you if your local standards have been applied. Read more about it at www.iet.co.uk/verifier where you can also register for a live demo.
