CTUG was held at the HP Enterprise head office for Canada in Mississauga, on September 26, 2018. We made a few changes this year, we moved our date up one month to make it a little easier for HPE staff to attend. We also were able to have a barbecue at lunch with the milder weather in September. There was an excellent turnout again with over a hundred people in attendance.
Our first presentation of the day was Justin Simonds who gave us an update on all the good work being done on the NonStop product line. From vNonStop to Blockchain integration, the future is now and continues to look good.
There is a lot of interest and information out there on Blockchain and Jeff did a good job on explaining what Blockchain and distributed ledger technology is all about. It is a technology of the future for sure we just have to find the use cases in the NonStop market that will move it forward.
Then it was on to Cucumber and behavior Driven Development (BDD). I am still trying to figure it out but it just shows how open and modern the NonStop can be. Many thanks to David for taking the time to share his work with the community.
We finished with a reception in the atrium area and even enjoyed some Steam Whistle pilsner beer from the keg. Keeping the beer bash going as best we can. I think a good time was had by all and we are looking forward to next year.
The CTUG board would like to thank all of our sponsors, HPE, Intel, Vendors and our CTUG members for making this event a success.
We are planning now for our 2019 event so please mark your calendars for September 25th and 26th 2019.

We look forward to hosting another great NonStop community event packed with great NonStop presentations and vendor displays.
We would also like to present our new CTUG President for 2019 – Kim Katigbak. Kim has been our Director of Symposia for the last 5 years and has done an outstanding job. She looks forward to serving the NonStop community in her new role as the CTUG President.
