This month we will be a continuation of last month’s Java in General discussion. For those of you who did not attend last month we started with the very first thing you must do in Java and that is Download the SDK. From there we discussed introductory Java concepts and wrote a simple program that keeps track of people’s favorite foods. This month let’s keep the ball rolling and see where the Java takes us.
We also will have a special guest this month. Lamine Ba from Senegal is the co-chair for SeneJUG ( http://www.codetown.us/group/senejugtown or www.senejug.com ) and the West African Java User Group and will be joining us this month. Lamine is a graduate of Embry Riddle University and received a Masters from Virginia Tech University. He is an Engineer and entrepreneur and will be great company for those who can make it to this month’s meeting.
This month’s sponsor is Cambridge Web Design Inc. Mike Levin will be cooking up some Collard Greens, Cabbage, Kale, and Jalapeno bread. If any of you would like to make and bring some treats or drinks we welcome you. And as always please RSVP through Codetown so that we know how much food to make. If you are not a member of Codetown you will have to become a member to RSVP. Hope to see you all there.

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.

Mistral AI has launched Workflows, an orchestration layer for enterprise AI that is now in public preview.

AWS Interconnect reached general availability, offering managed private Layer 3 connections to Google Cloud and a last-mile capability via Lumen. Azure and OCI support is planned for later in 2026. AWS published the underlying specification on GitHub under Apache 2.0, which Forrester analysts read as a play to set a de facto standard for multicloud connectivity.

GitHub has launched a native stacked pull request workflow through a new CLI extension called gh-stack, closing a gap that third-party tools have filled for several years. It aims to resolve the problem where large pull requests are hard to review, slow to merge and prone to conflicts, with GitHub stating that reviewers lose context, feedback quality drops, and the whole team slows down.
