SAFIRA 2.0

Dear colleagues,

Thank you very much for your submissions of success stories for presenting at the SAFIRA 2008 event. The selected presentations and Team Leaders are:

1. Digital TV (and then some), by Nuno Póvoa, Systems Engineer (nsp@safira.pt)
2. Workflows de Crédito na Industria financeira, by José Neves, Manager (jan@safira.pt)
3. Solemio, the match maker, by Hugo Velosa, Manager (hav@safira.pt)

I believe this selection clearly reflects the diversity of projects and customer industries at SAFIRA these days. Hope you enjoy this content.

To all of the speakers of the last event, but mostly, to all of you in the audience, your feedback is very welcome, and a precious tool for improving the event’s content quality. Post your suggestions here, or if you’re still a web 1.0 fanatic, e-mail the authors directly.

Thank you

Dear Team Leaders,

SAFIRA 2008 (SAF2K8), our annual kickoff event, will take place on 15th February. Following the format started last year’s second quarter summit, I hereby present you with the opportunity of talking about your projects to the whole SAFIRA community, and share your successes and experiences with all of us. Speakers not participating in the previous event, SAFIRA 2007 Q2, will be given priority.

This year’s agenda has three 10 minute slots for project presentations, like the previous event.

GUIDELINES
Your 10 mins presentations should focus on the following:
- Mission and goals
- Plan (project chronogram, where applicable) and project team (names and roles)
- Benefits to the customer
- The value of SAFIRA to the project
- The project’s value to SAFIRA

This means 5 slides maximum, with 2 mins per slide. Also works well 3 slides at 3 mins per slide. I strongly suggest illustrative slides (diagrams, charts, gannts, clip-art), not endless bulleted lists. Less text, more talk.
