Meeting Tuesday, September 21st 2010 - Startup Weekend Team Presentations

This month’s OJUG we are happy to announce is going to have the two ( possibly three )  teams from Startup Weekend which happened last weekend.  For those of you who are not familiar with Startup Weekend, it is where a group of people get together on a Friday night, gather around some ideas and then by Sunday evening they have to pitch those ideas and demo a working product in competition for a prize.
From this weekend we have two teams lined up:

Team Everpresent
Everpresent, which included people you know like Scott Hickey and Matt Heller built an application for tracking the events that happen in your children’s lives and creating an easy way to store and track that information.  The product consisted of two parts, the first is a website that runs on Google App Engine and the second is an Android app that syncs with the server and sends notes and photos to Google App Engine for storage.  So expect to hear some good content on Android, Google App Engine, and how to get them to talk to each other.

Team Call Spinner
Call Spinner is a really neat web based application that you don’t need the internet to use.  The best description is that it’s like ChatRoulette but for phones.  It’s a PHP/MySql app that make use of Twilio.  Twilio is a very cool could based phone and SMS service that literally lets you send and receive phone calls and text messages via a web service.  I’m very excited to see this presentation.

Keepum
The Twitter search system limits how far back in time it will return results for.  Keepum is a service that will allow you store and archive tweets for you and it manages and organizes them in a neat and intuitive way.  Keepum is a Grails application that makes use of the OAuth that Twitter recently standardized on.

Look forward to seeing you all there.

meeting tue jun 13th - jquery

This month, at the great suggestion of Dave Kerber, we’ve invited Andrew Wirick to come give a talk on JQuery. Given most Java projects involve some amount of browser client-side development these days, it seemed like a great topic to branch out to.

Andrew is heavily involved in the local JQuery users group and has given several presentations there. He has 3-4 different presentations he can give, ranging from beginner to advanced, depending on our group’s interests/existing familiarity with JQuery.

Meeting details:

  • Tuesday, June 15th
  • Food at 5:30pm courtesy of TEKsystems
  • Presentation at 6:00pm
  • Gallup Riverfront Campus, 1001 Gallup Drive

Hope to see you there!

meeting tue may 18th - polygot/clojure

The next meeting is this Tuesday on the 18th. Scott Hickey has said he’ll talk/foster discussion around polygot programming (using multiple programming languages on the same project) and/or Clojure (a Lisp language for the JVM).

People have being saying great things about Clojure, and how it built concurrency/immutability/etc. directly into the language. Should be a great time.

  • Presentation at 6:00pm

meeting tue apr 20th - swing testing

This month David Kerber is giving a presentation on testing Swing user interfaces with the fest API. He’ll talk about his experience of adding several hundred automated tests to an existing Swing app.

Automated testing is a very interesting topic and something enterprise projects should definitely be doing in some form these days, so I look forward to hearing about David’s experiences.
