Invitation to Red Earth QA

What is Red Earth QA?
The Red Earth QA SIG is an Information Technology organization that focuses on improving the quality of software implementation projects by sharing information on testing tools and techniques. This also includes networking with peers that may or may not be full-time Quality Assurance staff.

What topics are covered?
Our past meetings have covered topics on:

  • Methodology (Decision Trees, Effective Software Testing, etc.)
  • Technology Presentations from Microsoft, Compuware and from our members
  • Book Reviews, and much more

Our future meetings will be directed by member suggestions.

Who can participate?
Our meetings have been attended by Quality Assurance staff, Business Analysts, Consulting Company Representatives, Independent Contractors and IT managers. We are open to anyone interested in producing better software to attend our meetings.

When are meetings?
While we generally hold meetings on the 3rd Thursday of each month, it would be best to check our website at http://redearthqa.blogspot.com/ for current meeting announcements.

In the months we are fortunate to have a sponsor for lunch, we typically open the meeting at 11:30am with the meeting itself starting at noon.

Where are meetings?
We offer teleconferencing for our meetings, so you don't need to leave your office to participate! However, it's always best to come in person.

While each of our meetings have been at Devon Energy downtown, it's best to check our website, http://redearthqa.blogspot.com/ for specific information, including directions and parking availability.

How do I learn more?

How can I help?
We always appreciate any help you have to offer. Here are some things we can always get help with.

  • Organize a meeting or speaker
  • Contact peers at other companies and invite them
  • Prepare a presentation
  • Sponsor lunch

You can contact us by email http://redearthqa.blogspot.com/ if you would like to offer your time or have any questions.
