Greetings, GatorJUG!
This month we'll talk about OSCON 2012. I ran into Clint Collins of GatorLUG there. Clint and I had the fortune to have lunch with Ward Cunningham, creator of the wiki wiki website, eXtreme Programming and Design Patterns co-author. Loads of new topics were explored and I hope to convey many to you.
This meeting is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design (CWD) ::: Working Software Developers!
Please invite some friends and RSVP here so we'll know how much pizza to order. Note: you must join Codetown to enable the RSVP - otherwise you won't see it!

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.

Pairing enables instant code review, easier refactoring, fewer bugs, and higher team resilience.
