Pacific Rim Summer Workshop in Global Distributed Software DevelopmentAugust 14th - 26th, 2011 - Eugene, Oregon USA
This intensive two-week program will bring together an equal number of students from the Pacific Northwest and from Asia to learn about global software development in a cross-cultural classroom setting. Hosted on the campus of the University of Oregon, the Summer Workshop emerged from the ideas developed in the previous CPATHi18n workshops, by our Pacific Rim partners.
