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.

Spotify has introduced the Experiments with Learning (EwL) metric on top of its Confidence experimentation platform to measure how many tests deliver decision-ready insights, not just how many “win.” EwL captures both the quantity and quality of learning across product teams, helping them make faster, smarter product decisions at scale. The outcome must support one action: ship, abort, or iterate.

Tracy Bannon's QCon AI NY 2025 talk revealed how the rise of AI agents risks amplifying common architectural failures. She emphasized the distinctions between bots, assistants, and agents, highlighting the need for governance, clear identity controls, and disciplined decision-making to address “agentic debt.” Bannon called for architects to apply foundational principles amid rapid AI adoption.

In software development, success means going beyond meeting requirements. We must create products that surprise and delight users and are innovative, create impactful solutions, Ken Hughes said in the keynote “Connection is Everything”. AI can help us connect with customers and create better user experiences.

In a surprising move, AWS and Google Cloud have recently partnered to simplify multicloud networking, introducing a common standard and leveraging "AWS Interconnect - Multicloud" and "Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Interconnect". The new option makes it easier for organizations to manage and secure workloads across both clouds, with Azure expected to join in 2026.
