POSSCON 2012 - World class open source conference for $99 - Scott McNealy, Shawn Hartsock, many others

Hi, I'm a member of the Columbia Linux User Group and I'd like to personally
invite you to POSSCON 2012.

The Palmetto Open Source Software Conference, now in its fifth year, is one
of the largest open source conferences in the Southeast and will be held
March 28-29 in nearby Columbia, South Carolina.

The event will be headlined by Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun
Microsystems and one of the most influential and frequently quoted
people in the history of IT. Other world-class speakers include Shawn
Hartsock, Groovy/Grails developer; Larry Augustin; CEO, SugarCRM; Dr.
Douglas Maughan, Director, Department of Homeland Security, Cyber
Security Division; Jim Jagielski, Co-Founder and President, Apache
Software Foundation; Chris Aniszcyck, Open Source Manager, Twitter,
Inc.; and many others.

POSSCON brings together developers and business leaders together in a fun,
professional environment to discuss and learn about the latest open source
technologies and how to use them in your organization. Bringing the best of
open source concepts to the business world is what makes this conference
unique. In addition, the conference always has good turnout from the
government and healthcare sectors, many of whom are still learning all
that open source has to offer.

Early, early bird registration ends TODAY, January 31st, so
register now for the best deal. Please let me know if you have
questions and we look forward to seeing you in March!

RIM gives Android and BlackBerry developers FREE PlayBooks for two more weeks

Given our overall interest in Android, and a fair bit of HTML5 as well, I though you all would be interested in this offer.

"Android and BlackBerry Developers who submit a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ app to BlackBerry App World™ by March 2, 2012 are eligible for a free BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet."

For more details, check out the official notice here: http://us.blackberry.com/developers/tablet/playbook_offer2012.jsp

Good luck and I'll see you at the meeting next week,
Burk

AJUG February 2012 Pre-Meeting Hangout

Hi everybody!

The AJUG February meeting is here - So why not miss traffic and spend
some quality time before the meeting kicks off, networking with some
other AJUG folks?

We will meet on Tuesday, February 21 around 5:30pm at La Botana Tex-Mex
Restaurant. La Botana is located on the connector that runs parallel to I-285 on
the same side of I-285 as the AJUG meeting location (Holiday Inn Select).

This is just a loose, informal time to hang out and get to know each
other before we head over to the meeting for our monthly dose of
mind-altering Java insights. Why waste an hour working late at the
office before you head to AJUG?

Come join us for some good food, good beverages, and good fun.

Specifics for finding La Botana:

La Botana Tex-Mex Restaurant
2071 Savoy Dr. 
Atlanta, GA 30341
(770) 986-9996

You can find the Google map at: http://bit.ly/fBgiAq

I hope you can make it!

Cheers,

Gunnar

More javascript fun

In light of Pratik's excellent Javascript talk Tuesday night, I thought I'd forward this video along.  It lists some ruby, but mostly javascript bogglers.  It's short, requires sound, but is safe for work.


Enjoy.

Gauging interest in Scala training in the Atlanta area

Hi All,

Bill Venners and I are considering holding a public Stairway to Scala
training course in the Atlanta area sometime this year. Before we make
a final decision we wanted to gauge interest. The course will be the
same as advertised here:

http://www.artima.com/shop/stairway_to_scala

So you would be able to attend for three days of applied fundamentals
(Mon to Wed), two days of advanced Scala (Thu and Fri), or stay for
the whole action-packed week.

If you might like to attend a public course in the Atlanta area this
year, please email Bill and me and let us know what you'd be
interested in (applied, advanced, or both) and when you'd like it to
be held.

You can email us at:

escalate AT artima DOT com

Thanks.

Dick Wall

PS. We also bring this in-house to companies that prefer a private
course, so please keep us in mind if you have a group of developers
you want to bring up to speed on Scala.  And in case you're interested
in Scala and Akka actors, Actors for Scala is now published:

http://www.artima.com/shop/actors_in_scala

Atlanta Mobile Developers Meetup tonight

Good morning AJUG,

I wanted to reach out to you all and let you know that the Atlanta
Mobile Developers Group is having a Introduction to Android session
tonight at Primedia in Norcross.  Details of the meetup can be found
here:  http://www.meetup.com/Atlanta-Mobile-Developers-Group/events/47969552/
 Since it is Java and Android, I figured there may be some in this
group who are interested.  Please RSVP on meetup so that I can order
pizza for everyone.  Hope to see lots of you here.

-James
