I am in San Diego CA, but I will be there in spirit. :o) -----Original Message----- From: Warner Onstine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [jug-discussion] Meeting tonight at 6:30
Just wanted to remind everyone that we have a meeting tonight, same place as usual (for the moment, we are actively searching for new digs for upcoming meetings). Tonight will be Rob Gingell, form head of the Java Community Process, now in his new role at Cassatt (http://www.cassatt.com). Here is a little taste of what Rob will be talking about (not too markety, I promise!) Java Programs Meet Scale-Out Commodity Architectures The industry trends of componentized applications (largely Java), rapid cost reduction of commodity systems, networking, and "utility computing" are amplifying and driving each other. In the pursuit of lower acquisition costs and apparent simplicities, many are deploying "scale-out" architectures either as replacements for old "scale-up" architectures or for new applications. In exchange, they are often eating much greater managerial complexity and costs. Cassatt Collage is a product designed to mitigate these costs and amplify the benefits of these trends, and this talk will be an introduction to the product from both a "what it does" and a "how it does it" point of view. Next month we will have a presentation on Java NIO and a short presentation on Swing applications from Ray Ramos (by request). Directions are here (look for the map link): http://www.tucson-jug.org/ Hope to see everyone! -warner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
