Hello OrlandoJUG!
This will be our first meeting of 2016! This will be our first meeting of 2016! DeVry has moved and can host us after all!
The new address is:
DeVry University
7352 Greenbrier Parkway Room 103
Orlando FL 32819
We have a special guest - Heather VanCura, of the JCP. That's the Java Community Process!
Not only that, but Heather's inviting a spec lead to come with her also!
This is a big deal because first of all, Heather lives all the way out west in California. She and her pal the spec lead are going to fly out here just for YOU!
She'll tell you all about the Java Community Process and how it affects the language you use every day. And that's not all! Stay tuned for an abstract of the talk.
Now, we want to give Heather a warm welcome so let's have a big turnout. Invite your friends. If we have more than 40 RSVP's I'll change the venue to accommodate everyone. Hey, we'll have pizza galore and I can say one thing for sure: Heather's been involved with the Java community for as long as I can remember. She just flew out to Dakar, Senegal and gave a talk for our buds at the SeneJUG www.senejug.com - I helped found that group along with Lamine Ba. I'm proud to say that.
Plus, she's arranging a hangout so that the Senegal JUG can session attend remotely. How about that?!
Meanwhile, if you're interested in giving a presentation, sponsoring the group by buying pizza or want to get otherwise involved, please give me a call. 321-252-9322.
And, please keep an eye on this announcement - I'll update it as details firm up.
Also, we have a shiny new Meetup group - http://www.meetup.com/orlandojug/ How about that! So, since Meetup is ubiquitous these days, I ponied up for a year. Hopefully, everyone will migrate over here to Codetown and write up some tasty blog posts.
As always, I hope to see many of you there.
All the best,

Article: 9 Steps Towards an Agile Architecture
Just as a Minimum-Viable Architecture (MVA) approach does not create a system’s architecture in a single step, adopting an MVA approach takes a series of incremental steps as well. These organizational changes start with a single development team and use feedback to evolve the process as more teams are brought in.
