Montpelier facilities..? 1) Kellogg Hubbard Library maybe? 2) Bear Code offered last time - I was consulting with them for a while but I think they found a full time person and hired, so I'm not really connected to them at the moment. 3) I might be able to talk my office into offering a conference room... 4) National Life must have the space for the meeting - any one work there? 5) Tom Cort might be able to drum up some space at the State Dept. of Tax. 6) The IT guy for NECI is a UNIX nerd - he might be able to get us a NECI training room or something, but I don't really know how to reach him.
I realize there are more ideas than concrete paths to follow, but I'll at least as my supervisors what they think about hosting the meeting here, and if there is interest in using Bear Code, I can contact them. -Nick --- Nick Floersch (pr.

Last night we met in the Mac Lab for our July meeting. Some regular faces were missing, but a couple of new faces were in attendance; thanks to all those that attended! :) We ended up having two presentations. Andrew talked about MySQL [1], setting up a JDBC connection to MySQL in OpenOffice, and finished with an overview of views, functions, stored procedures, cursors and transactions. I talked about REpresentational State Transfer (REST) [2], an architecture for networked information systems such as the world wide web. Forest was all ready with his presentation on Django, but Andrew and I consumed all the time available. Apologies to Forest. He's graciously offered to deliver the same talk at the next meeting... ...we talked briefly about if we should have a meeting in August or September, but didn't really come to a consensus. Does anyone else want to volunteer to present for the next meeting? I'm going to investigate location options for having the meeting in Montpelier. If anyone can offer or suggest a facility, please do! We also had a couple of different problems brought before the group in the meeting, which points to perhaps having that as the focus of some future meeting: bring your (description of a) problem, and let the group try to find a solution.
