We're thrilled to announce that Twitter has offered to open their commons space to us to host this San Francisco Selenium meetup. [Twitter is a six-minute walk from Caltrain and 15-minute walk from Montgomery St. BART]

This meetup promises to be informative for experienced and new Selenium users alike. Selenium Grid creator Philippe Hanrigou plans to present a talk titled "Creating High-ROI Selenium Scripts." Among many points, Philippe will outline cases when not to use Selenium as part of an overall strategy to make your scripts more useful, more easily maintainable and therefore higher ROI.

Agenda:

6:30 - 7:15 Networking, pizza and drinks 7:15 - 9:15 Program 9:15 - 9:30 Wrap-up / close

Video

We plan to video and upload the event. Afterwards we'll email SF Se Meetup members the link. Prior to and after the program, interested attendees can answer the question "how do you use Selenium?" on camera in 30-seconds or less. We'll publish a compilation of the most interesting responses, so be thinking about your answer :-) Should be fun!

[b] RSVP Early![/b] Our last event fully booked out and due to our popular host for this event, we expect it to fill up fast. We recommend you check your calendar, call your friends and reserve your space now :-) As before, we continue to resist meetup.com recommendations to charge members. So that we can continue that practice, we ask people to be especially diligent about RSVPs: please be sure to release your reservation if your plans change so that the maximum possible can attend. Thank you in advance for that.
