All JUG members and non-members are invited to attend the WUG meeting TOMORROW - Tuesday the 27th - free of charge. Snacks are included and no RSVP is needed - just show up!
The topic is very timely because JSR 243 was just submitted by Sun. (See http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=25460 ).
This talk will not be product specific for the most part, nor will it be tied to WebSphere. It will go beyond JDO to discuss Data Persistence alternatives in general.
SolarMetric will also be doing some giveaways.
Additionally, David Jordan, another member of the JDO expert committee, who spoken on more than one occasion to the JUG, will be in attendance and will be giving away a copy of his book.
See you at the meeting!
