[OKC JUG] meeting suggestions and other stuff

[Mark Smith]

Could we have meeting where people from different places do a 5 minute presentation of how java is being used in different places, this is 30 minutes and then 30 minutes of then mixing and talking about with each other. People could have name tags that say where they work so if we hear that the FAA is using OSGi, I could find an FAA person and ask them questions about it.

Sorry there wasn't any vegie pizza today. Pizza Hut screwed up the order. GDH did ask for some vegie pizza's.


"Why did they invent Velveeta?  So that vegetarians could have Spam too."



Here are some of the comments on the evals today:


*	(need) time to network

When we only had evening meetings, we used to have 30 minutes to talk with each other and get to know people. I guess now we can arrive early and/or stay late. Any other suggestions?


*	Send out requests of what is useful for next meeting

I'm not sure what this really means. If you want to see a presentation on some in particular, send an email to the group.


*	UoP is far from the FAA

I agree with this. but - We had several lunch meetings at the Francis Tuttle at Reno and Rockwell in the hopes that people from the FAA would show up. I don't think we had many (if any) show up. Do we want to try and have some meetings down at FT again? The rooms are free at FT.



Here are some of the suggested topics for future meetings:


	*	Grid 
	*	GWT 
	*	Web Services 
	*	ESB 
	*	BPEL    
	*	Spring 
	*	JSF (a lot of these) 
	*	OSGI 
	*	Seam 
	*	JPA
