This month we'll meet at First Magnitude Brewery and have a relaxed "Open Spaces" style meeting. What is Open Spaces? That's inspired by the formal Open Spaces approach where the subjects that are most interesting get discussed. In our case, we have one member who just finished two smartphone apps, so those case studies are very interesting candidates for discussion. We have another member who is working with a startup that is adding lots of features to their website practically real time. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
First Magnitude has a big, open courtyard in back, so look for me and bring whatever you'd like to support your talk. Digital is great, too!
FYI, GatorJUG has one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. It's a fantastic conference. We also may have discounts available to OSCON.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Lyft has rearchitected its machine learning platform LyftLearn into a hybrid system, moving offline workloads to AWS SageMaker while retaining Kubernetes for online model serving. Its decision to choose managed services where operational complexity was highest, while maintaining custom infrastructure where control mattered most, offers a pragmatic alternative to unified platform strategies.

Autonomous AI agents amplify productivity but can cause severe damage without safeguards. Defend the ReAct loop—context, reasoning, and tools—through provenance gates, planner-critic separation, scoped credentials, sandboxed code, and STRIDE/MAESTRO threat modeling. With robust logging, bounded autonomy, and red-teaming, agents can deliver trustworthy productivity while minimizing risk.
