Hello, GatorJUG!

Are we having fun yet? Have you checked out www.meetup.com for Gainesville tech events? Well, you should! There's Python, Hackers, Front End, Ruby, and so much more. 

Let's find a great brew pub for our next meeting. I'm thinking something like First Magnitude Brewery (http://fmbrewing.com), where GatorLUG had their last meeting: "The Brew Spot has shut down, so join us at First Magnitude for a social meeting while we figure out a better meeting location, talk about Linux, and drink some good beer & cider!

Come and visit The Source, First Magnitude’s on premise tasting room, and check out the 15bbl brewing system. They are a place for you to enjoy a pint and spend time with friends -all ages welcome and we are kid-friendly. They have an indoor tasting room, warehouse/brewery space, and a large outdoor, oak-shaded beer garden." 

That sounds fun to me. First Magnitude may be a little far for some of you, but if I get enough thumbs up votes, we'll do it there.

Let me know - mike@codetown.us - or, just text me. 

Meanwhile... 

If you haven't actually joined the GatorJUG group here at Codetown, please do. That way, you'll get email when I post these meeting announcements and also you'll see when others post discussions there.http://www.codetown.us/group/gatorjugtown

Personally, I've been spending a lot of time learning Android programming, so I'll have things to say about that. 

And, that's not all! There's so much going on in the software world, including beacons - have you heard about beacons? They are smart, stick on devices with built in sensors and accelerometers. Check out Estimote for an example. So cool...#nearables

So, stay tuned and like I said, please join the http://www.codetown.us/group/gatorjugtown group so you'll be in the know about these meetings. 

As always, I hope to see you 2/11/15...
