Stay tuned as plans firm up...Jim Baker, Jython guy is hoping to join us in the Fall. What's Jython? It's Python on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Jim's the Jython guru. He's given great talks in the past here at GatorJug. Many of you know him. Jim is a practicing software developer, currently with Rackspace and formerly with Canonical. He's also a prof at Univ of Colorado. You can reach him right here at Codetown.
We normally meet on the 2nd Wed, but the date may adjust so Jim can also give a talk for the OrlandoJug.
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.

AWS recently introduced Amazon Cognito multi-region replication, which automatically replicates user identities and user pool configurations from a primary region to a secondary one. This enables applications to continue authenticating users from a replica region during outages, without requiring custom replication and failover mechanisms.

Block, Inc. describes migrating ~450 JVM repositories into a monorepo across Cash App and Square engineering to reduce dependency drift and coordination overhead. The system supports ~8,800 weekly builds with ~10 min p90 CI time. The approach improves cross-service changes, build visibility, and developer experience through dependency graph–based builds, selective CI, and custom IDE tooling.

OpenAI’s Bonnie Xu discusses Kepler, an internal AI data analyst agent built to query 600+ petabytes of data. She explains how they overcome context window limits using MCP, automated code crawling, and RAG. Xu also shares how their team leverages scoped semantic memory for self-learning and utilizes AST-based LLM grading to build a robust, regression-free evaluation pipeline.

TSRX is a TypeScript language extension developed by Dominic Gannaway, designed to build declarative user interfaces in a framework-agnostic manner. It compiles single .tsrx files to various runtime targets and supports scoped styles and declarative error handling. TSRX is currently in alpha and is open source under the MIT license.
