[Steering Committee] Fw: JetBrains JUG Leader Journal, Premier Issue

[Brian Sheldon]

The Joomla site looks really good. editing it is easy.

I guess we can allow anyone to register and edit the site? how hard would it be to move the wiki users over to Joomla? I guess people could do the registering themselves since there aren't too many people editing the wiki.

Would we automatically reroute people from okcjug.org to joomla?

I guess it doesn't matter to me whether we move or not.

I'm curious about 'What can brown do for you?' bit that is in the banner

Then I could kick it up a notch and discuss some of the java 5 stuff, deadlock avoidance, livelock, starvation, latches, that kind of stuff. 

Sounds good.  I'm going to put you on the schedule, then. :P

Speaking of the September meeting, who's taking care of the sponsors?  I'd like to have that nailed down and confirmed by the SC meeting (which is next week, I just realized.  I'll send out a reminder email in just a bit).  I'd really like the September meeting to be less painful than July and August were (which were probably my fault, as it's my responsibility to make sure things are running correctly). 

We also need to figure out what to do about the lunch meeting, since the FT room is not available.  The two options I've heard are Univ. of Phoenix, which was expensive, if I recall correctly, and I think Principal (?) offered one of their meeting/conference rooms.  Any other suggestions? 

On an unrelated topic, if you'll recall some of us had been discussing the web site and how to improve it, which led (me, at least) to discuss what powers the site, its hosting, etc.  I've been tinkering with Joomla, which, although it's PHP-powered, is a mighty fine CMS that I think will address the desire for increased functionality, while also addressing the hosting/cost issues with the site (with me leaving IEC and having been the one who maintained it while I was there, they have expressed that it wouldn't break their hearts to see it follow me out the door, as they don't have time to do anything with -- the actual bandwidth and hosting aren't an issue, just the maintenance).  At any rate, take a look at this and let me know what you think (my apologies for the weak attempt at humor): http://joomla.okcjug.org/.  Feeback, criticisms, etc are welcome. :)
