meeting tue jan 19th — git/git-svn

stephen — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:03:20 +0000

This week is OJUG. This month I’ll be talking about git/git-svn.

Besides the usual stuff of how git is a distributed source code management tool, staging, committing, merging, etc, I’ll also cover how you can use git as a client for checking out/committing to Subversion repositories (e.g. if your day job uses svn but you just would rather not).

ojug meeting tue nov 17th — grails

stephen — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:33:56 +0000

OJUG normally moves its November meeting to the 2nd Tuesday to avoid the holidays, but we’re staying with the 3rd Tuesday this year and meeting on 11/17 as it is still a week before Thanksgiving.

Besides the regular time and place, another upshot is that Scott Hickey will be available to talk about Grails.

ojug meeting tue oct 20th — grails and/or netty

stephen — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:18:50 +0000

The 3rd Tuesday is coming up. Scott Hickey has tentatively agreed to give a talk about Groovy/Grails, with the caveat that he just started a new remote gig as a Grails tech lead and so may have to be out, depending on how his ramp-up time is going.

If Scott can’t make it, I’ve been hacking on a non-blocking HTTP proxy server built on top of JBoss’s Netty asynchronous I/O framework. It’s a pretty small project and I think a good intro to how asynchronous I/O, the current darling of systems that scale to thousands of concurrent connections, works.

Netty has been getting some press as a potential successor to Apache’s Mina asynchronous I/O framework for building low-level custom protocols. E.g. previously I’ve used Mina to talk binary to a card processing system.

No Meeting Tonight (the 15th)

stephen — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:57:25 +0000

Due to lack of planning and coordination on my part, we won’t have a meeting tonight.

For next month, the plan is to go back to lining up speakers 2-3 months ahead of time, much like I briefly did at the start of the year.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, feel free to email me.

Thanks.

We should also discuss speakers for next quarter–please either propose ideas you’d like to hear about, or would volunteer to speak on either on list or at the next meeting. Even if you’re just curious in a technology, if you speak up and express interest in it, someone who was otherwise staying quiet might say “yeah, I could talk about that”.
