[Clev-jug] Cleveland Java Users Group Meeting

[Scott Seighman]

In text format, some had difficulty with the format.


Hi All,

First, let me take a moment to thank Maciej Zawadzki and UrbanCode for 
leading the Cleveland Java Users Group during the past several years.  
I'm certain I speak for the group when I say we appreciate the efforts 
to keep the group active.  From scheduling speakers, to maintaining the 
alias and website, and let's not forget the pizza and beverages!  
Leading a group takes an extra effort, especially when you're running a 
successful business too.  Once gain, thanks for your support.

Moving forward, we will maintain the same schedule (at least 
temporarily) for monthly meetings.  Our next meeting will be Wednesday, 
February 13th at 5:30PM (pizza and drinks) with the discussion beginning 
at 6:00PM.  The February meeting will focus on the mission of the group 
itself.  Since we're transitioning the group, it makes sense to step 
back and evaluate what we (as a group) want to achieve.  I'm not 
suggesting we are on the wrong path, rather that it's an appropriate 
time to get feedback.  I know several in the group have expressed 
interest in different topics, and you've presented these ideas to the 
group.  Some past ideas from the group include:

    * Pursuing Java certification
    * Expanding the reach to include compatible technologies
    * Code projects
    * Code review

So please come prepared to share your ideas and comments on the future 
of the Cleveland Java Users Group.  If you want to throw some ideas out 
to the alias, feel free.  If you would rather send me an email, do not 
hesitate.  I will collect your thoughts and present them for feedback at 
the meeting. 

All comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Scott
