[Steering Committee] SC Meeting Notes

[Brian Sheldon]

Mark Smith did a Seam presentation last year - it was the same one (I think) that he did at the JBoss thing in Las Vegas. It might be nice (or horrible) to have him there for your version.

I don't think we have a Hello Java yet for August. I vaguely remember suggesting a few things we could do - round table discussion, view a java puzzler or some other java thing, watch some YouTube videos, or stop having the Hello Java since no newbies seem to show up for it...

I guess we can tell Francis Tuttle we don't need a room for out SC meetings.

I'm a bit slow getting these out, but here are my notes (BTW, this would be a GREAT category for some sort of CMS-based, searchable web site... ;)


We asked "what can we do to make the JUG better."  Here's what we got: 
"More interesting" topics wanted:

Spring 2.1
Acegi
"Less unit testing and i18n" (sorry if that hurts.  I'm just reporting what was said :)
JPA/Hibernate (perhaps a compare and contrast) 
Seam (which I think I'm going to do in September unless we have a speaker lined up that's not on the schedule.  Or if someone else wants that month)

More "external" speakers was mentioned 

From my notes, it appears the Ryan is on the hook for an October presentation on ReST

GDH "would be happy to sponsor", putting out sponsor list at 

GDH
Objectstream
TekSystems 
Valtech
Principal
Addison
Atlassian
The ORA offer of free books for reviews was mentioned

August:

Hello JUG - I was going to do this on the Collections framework, but I'll be out of town, so I'll do it in October (see topics above) 
Ryan's taking care of the sponsors
Room is booked at FT
We discussed participating in Tulsa Techfest (http://www.tulsatechfest.com/) for a Java track.  Anyone interested (and I'll post on the main list in just a few) needs to speak up soon so we can get on the schedule. 

Ryan:  You're supposed to get in touch with Terracotta about...a speaker? and I'm supposed to send you this link: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/2007/05/testing_ajax_ap.html 

And I'm supposed to follow up with Atlassian on their JUG sponsorship/swag offer

We also need to address seriously the problem with room scheduling for our September lunch meeting.  Ryan mentioned that APLN used the University of Phoenix. 

I think that's it...
