Who's Coming?

Our JUG leader, Matt Stine, attended the 14th (and possibly last?!?!) JavaOne earlier this month in San Francisco and lived to tell about it at this month's meeting!

We will probably have time for 2-3 lightning talks as well - please let me know ASAP if you'd like to give a talk. Thanks!

We will again be treated to dinner/snacks courtesy of our principal sponsor, Vaco Technology. We will also have several exciting door prizes!

    Topic: JavaOne 2009 Brain Dump

    As always, JavaOne 2009 was a “ginormous event” and it’s completely impossible to take all of it in. I’ll give you the highlights from my perspective and give you the general pulse of where I think the Java community is going.

Directions:

We are meeting at the Information Sciences building (affectionately known as "Building X") of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located at 160 Shadyac Avenue (formerly North Parkway) in downtown Memphis.

Please be aware that the entrance gate is on Third Street. Ignore any instructions from Google Maps to turn onto North Parkway/Shadyac Avenue. We are meeting in the building at the corner of Third Street and Shadyac Ave. - it has a blue awning over the front door (which is clearly visible on the satellite imagery, and now has the St. Jude logo as well).

You will need to buzz in at the gate and tell St. Jude security you are here for the Java User Group meeting.
