That sounds great Heinz! I'd be really interested in attending and I'm sure I could rustle up some others to attend should you decide to present the talk to the CTJUG!

That Irish PhD student I think was part of initiating SPIN, but he has gone back to Ireland now. I might present my talk at the CTJUG as well - depends if there is sufficient interest? The slides will become available after March, once I've presented the talk at TheServerSide Java Symposium. By the way, there is another talk that I will be presenting, called "Java Specialists in Action". I don't mind presenting both of the talks at CTJUG in the next few weeks, just not on the same day.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but was very interested in the topics discussed and am interested in joining your group. So I was wondering if you had any documentation from the talks on Wednesday (handouts, slides, etc.) and if there is any cost to joining the SPIN initiative. Thanking you.
