The Xero Summer Seminar Series (XSSS) is designed to inform, upskill and connect the Wellington Summer of Code students with the wider IT community. Light lunch is included, and ALL SoC 09 participants (students & companies) are welcome to attend, free of charge.
Other members of the Wellington IT community are very welcome too! We 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.
