The first chapter of Leaders in Software and Art was founded in New York in 2009 as a networking group for cutting-edge artists who use technology to create museum-quality pieces. Meetups feature artist speakers showcasing their work and are attended by people fascinated by the field, such as curators, collectors, engineers and programmers, and of course other tech artists. What began with software art presentations has grown to include data visualization, sculpture made using LEDs, microprocess …

I <3 Testing! I like being able to say without a doubt that a software feature doesn't work, works, or could be improved if a change were made. I get a thrill when I'm able to go beyond Black Box testing and look beneath the surface, using cool tools, to discover root cause for a defect. When I'm able to automate tests, which removes the need for some manual testing, and catches regression defects efficiently, I feel GREAT! I think that it would be worthwhile for automation engineers, softwa …

In Nov 2012, Hao Chen stepped up to keep this meetup alive. The following description is from the ex-organizer: History/why I want to do this: As a young engineer in the late 90s/early 2000s I went to some loosely organized lunches with various industry pros, all architect/senior level working for many big names back then. Amazing things were discussed. It totally pierced my mind. Now, fast forward to 2012,  I want to get everyone together to discuss tech, over some good food :) I want to keepin …
