We'll meet and talk about Java in general this meeting, unless someone comes up with a specific presentation. What's new in Java? What's new for you? We can talk about any aspect of Java you'd like, from J2SE to JEE, from web apps to client server. We'll also talk about the Codetown Contest #2 and a winner will be announced! Please RSVP so we'll know how much pizza to order. If you'd like to sponsor this (or future) meeting, just let Dan Lackey or Michael Levin know.

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.
