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... ;)<br><br><br>We asked "what can we do to make the JUG better." Here's what we got:
<br>"More interesting" topics wanted:<br><ul><li>Spring 2.1</li><li>Acegi</li><li>"Less unit testing and i18n" (sorry if that hurts. I'm just reporting what was said :)</li><li>JPA/Hibernate (perhaps a compare and contrast)
</li><li>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)<br></li></ul>More "external" speakers was mentioned
<br><br>From my notes, it appears the Ryan is on the hook for an October presentation on ReST<br><br>GDH "would be happy to sponsor", putting out sponsor list at <br><ul><li>GDH</li><li>Objectstream</li><li>TekSystems
</li><li>Valtech</li><li>Principal</li><li>Addison</li><li>Atlassian</li></ul>The ORA offer of free books for reviews was mentioned<br><br>August:<br><ul><li>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)
</li><li>Ryan's taking care of the sponsors</li><li>Room is booked at FT</li></ul>We discussed participating in Tulsa Techfest (<a href="http://www.tulsatechfest.com/">http://www.tulsatechfest.com/</a>) 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.
<br><br>Ryan: You're supposed to get in touch with Terracotta about...a speaker? and I'm supposed to send you this link: <a href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/2007/05/testing_ajax_ap.html">http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/2007/05/testing_ajax_ap.html
</a><br><br>And I'm supposed to follow up with Atlassian on their JUG sponsorship/swag offer<br><br>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.
