    <p>Indeed. MS has come a LONG way on the Java front in recent years.
      I have several friends from Sun/Oracle that are working at
      Microsoft on Java projects (and products). It's a whole new world.

                <p>Good evening! I'm sitting here in my hotel in Atlanta
                  after the closing of Devnexus 2022. I got to talk to
                  several friends/acquaintances that lead various JUGs
                  to see how things are going for them, and I'm
                  re-enthused about restarting our JUG. Several people
                  have expressed interest in doing so, but nobody has
                  made the move to do so, therefore, if I may be so
                  bold, I'm just going to do it. Here's my plan:</p>
                <ol>
                  <li>Unless someone just REALLY wants to instead, I'm
                    going to appoint myself president and get this kick
                    started. :) <br>
                  </li>
                  <li>I will reach back out to Techlahoma to see where
                    things stand on UGs these days and see if we can
                    restart that relationship.</li>
                  <li>I'm going to pick a time and day of the week and
                    start planning sessions (this will depend both on
                    the outcome of the discussion above and my personal
                    schedule :), most likely presenting myself to help
                    get things going.<br>
                  </li>
                  <li>I'd like to assemble a board to help govern
                    things, but I know people are busy, so I'm happy to
                    press on alone if needed. Please don't make me. :)</li>
                  <li>I am going to export the content of our old
                    WordPress-based site and rebuild it with a static
                    generator (e.g., JBake or Jekyll) and host it under
                    an OKCJUG org on GitHub.</li>
                  <li>I will try to regain access to the OKCJUG GitHub
                    and Twitter accounts (<b>Brian Sheldon</b>: Do you
                    remember the credentials for either? You're the only
                    other person I can think of that had those).</li>
                  <li>I'm going to look at other JUGs and reach out to
                    my contacts there to see what other digital
                    capabilities we may be lacking and try to get those
                    going.<br>
                  </li>
                  <li>Once details have started to come together, I'll
                    email the main JUG list to announce those details. I
                    will likely, though, make a teaser announcement in
                    the coming days.</li>
                  <li>I will try to figure out what I've forgotten and
                    do that too.<br>
                  </li>
                </ol>
                <p>I am going to have lunch (hopefully not by myself :)
                  at Jason's Deli on NW Expressway at 11:30 on Wednesday
                  (4/20) to discuss these items with anyone interested.
                  Lacking any negative feedback, concerns, etc., I'm
                  going to press on, so if you have any of those, chime
                  up here or come to lunch next Wednesday and harangue
                  me in person. :)<br>
